Australian energy company Pilot Energy is investigating the potential for developing a 1.1GW offshore wind farm off Western Australia that would be paired with an onshore solar project.
It has launched a feasibility study for the Mid West Wind and Solar project, which will also examine the potential for using existing gas infrastructure for the production and supply of green hydrogen.
The offshore wind component would be built in four phases and would comprise 78 turbines with power ratings of 14MW, at least 14km from the coast in waters 20-40 metres deep.
Pilot believes the project could have the potential to attract strategic co-investors.
