ENGIE and EDF Renewables JV Awarded 1.3 GW of Offshore Wind Project in Australia

Ocean Winds, an international company dedicated to global offshore wind projects, which is a 50-50 joint venture between ENGIE and EDF Renewables, secured a feasibility license for a 150-square-kilometer area from the Australian Government to develop an offshore wind farm in waters off Gippsland, Victoria.

The offshore wind project will play a key role in achieving the State of Victoria’s target of 95% renewable energy by 2035. Ocean Winds was granted the feasibility licence through its bidding company, High Sea Wind Pty Ltd.

The High Sea Wind project will represent an installed capacity of 1.3 GW, the equivalent of a year of electricity for 1 million Victorian households, avoiding up to 5.3 million tons of CO2 emissions per year. This new bottom-fixed offshore wind project in Australia will unlock opportunities in a key new market for Ocean Winds.
