Star of the South Offshore Wind Project

planned

Star of the South is an offshore wind project planned at up to 2.2 GW capacity. The project has completed feasibility and environmental studies, supply chain and workforce assessments, and broad community engagement. It follows a 'look local first' procurement approach focusing on Gippsland, Australia. The project team has identified significant opportunities for Australian steel makers and fabricators, particularly for the fabrication of detailed secondary steel components such as platforms, walkways, ladders, railings, and tubes. Applications for Commonwealth and Victorian approvals are expected in 2025, alongside participation in Victoria's first offshore wind auction. Construction is targeted later in the decade if approvals and auction outcomes are secured.
