Following a successful inaugural event in Melbourne in 2023 and a second edition this year in South Korea, the third conference will provide a platform to drive discussion regarding the growth of wind energy across the Asia Pacific.
Victoria’s clean energy sector is positioned for unprecedented growth and businesses will play a strong role in supporting the delivery of the offshore wind industry which will be key to the state’s renewable energy transition and meeting the legislated targets of at least 2 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy generation by 2032, 4 GW by 2035 and 9 GW by 2040.
The state is also leading the way in accelerating the deployment of offshore wind power – announcing at the 2023 summit that Victoria was the first subnational government in the world to join the Global Offshore Wind Alliance.
Offshore wind is critical to helping Victoria reach net zero emissions by 2045 and is expected to generate billions in investment and create over 6,000 jobs. Victoria will release an Expression of Interest for the state’s first offshore wind energy auction by the end of the year, an important next step in building the first offshore wind farm in the country.
