Star of the South: Guiding Australia on a Pathway to Offshore Wind
Show Notes

Star of the South, Australia’s first proposed offshore wind project, promises to generate over 2 GW of clean energy – enough to supply around 20% of the State of Victoria’s electricity needs, power around 1.2 million homes, and support 8000 green jobs over its lifetime. In this episode, The Offshore Wind Podcast hosts Stewart Mullin and David Lenti are joined by Erin Coldham, Chief Development Officer at Star of the South, to discuss key challenges and opportunities facing Star of the South, how this project can accelerate the energy transition in Australia, what lessons can be applied from the experience of established offshore wind markets, engaging local communities, and much more!
