Australia Expands Offshore Wind Energy with New Designated Zone
The Australian government’s commitment to offshore wind energy is evident with the declaration of the fourth wind zone off New South Wales. Prime Minister Albanese’s renewable energy program aims to phase out coal-fired plants, with plans to close 90% by 2035. The newly designated Illawarra zone is set to generate 2.9 GW of power, contributing significantly to Australia’s green energy transition.
