The Australian Government has declared an area in the Indian Ocean off Bunbury, Western Australia (WA) between Cape Naturaliste and Dawesville where offshore renewable energy, such as offshore wind, could be developed.
The South West Interconnected System is predicted to need 50 GW more electricity by 2042. Offshore wind offers a large scale, secure, reliable and clean energy source for our electricity network.
The declared area has the potential to generate up to 11.4 gigawatts of renewable wind energy.
