High Sea Wind (HSW) is a bottom-fixed offshore wind project in the early stages of development. When operational the project is expected to have an installed capacity of approximately around 1.3 GW - enough to power 1 million Victorian homes for a year and avoid 5.3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Building Victoria’s Offshore Wind Future
Offshore wind is a necessary component in Australia’s renewable energy transition.
As Victoria phases out coal-fired power plants, the move towards renewable energy will stabilise the electricity supply reduce carbon emissions and increase future jobs in the region.
Strong and consistent renewable resource
Reduction of carbon emissions
Local job creation
Increase opportunities in skills and training
Increase in community benefits and local investment
Why Gippsland?
Gippsland stands out as Australia’s premier offshore wind region thanks to its powerful and consistent winds from the Bass Strait. As Australia’s first declared offshore wind zone, this area also benefits from government backing, established energy infrastructure, and a skilled regional workforce ready to support a new clean‑energy industry.
Together, these advantages make Gippsland uniquely positioned to lead the nation’s offshore wind future.
