On March 4, 2022 the Victorian Government set new offshore wind farm targets. Currently there are no offshore wind farms operating in the state.
The new offshore wind targets:
- 2032 - target of 2 GW
- 2035 - target of 4 GW
- 2040 - target of 9 GW
- 2050 - potential capacity of 13 GW
Federal Minister for Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor has been sitting on Federal legislation that has been needed to allow wind farm planning and construction to go ahead. This legislation was finally passed by the Federal Parliament in 2021.
