Irish developer Simply Blue Group is linking with offshore contractors Subsea7 and Australian renewables developer Spark Renewables for floating offshore wind projects off New South Wales, Australia.
The trio announced a joint consortium to “pursue floating offshore wind development off the coast of New South Wales in the Hunter and Illawarra regions”.
The state's government previously announced a group of five renewable energy zones (REZ) as part of its plans to ramp up renewables supplied to its electricity grid.
The Illawara and Hunter Central Coast areas on the Pacific coast are among the zones.
Other wind energy developers, including Norwegian energy giant Equinor and offshore wind developers BlueFloat Energy are also eyeing offshore wind projects in the region.
Subsea7 is already partnering with Simply Blue Group on the 100MW Salamander project off the east coast of Scotland.
