Three companies line up to build offshore wind facilities off WA
Competition is hot for the first offshore wind facility off Western Australia, with three companies expressing interest.
The move comes as nations without the luxury of Australia’s expansive land space and coastline look to invest in renewable projects worldwide to decarbonise their economies. The three companies looking to invest in WA are:
Oceanex: This Melbourne-based company is made up of a combination of local founders and international investors.
Pilot Energy: A NSW-based oil and gas company looking to expand into renewables.
Australis: This UK-registered company oversees WA Offshore, and has lodged plans for a billion-dollar development off the coast north of Bunbury.
