Offshore wind zone to make Illawarra ‘centre’ of Australia’s renewable energy future
Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says the newest offshore wind zone is going to make Illawarra the “centre” of Australia’s renewable energy future.
“Even though we’ve made the wind zone smaller and further away, it will still generate up to just under 3 gigawatts, which is enough for 1.8 million homes,” he said during a press conference on Saturday.
