About

Gippsland Dawn marks a new era of energy generation for Gippsland and Australia. This project is a vital part of the Australian government's plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

By harnessing the power of Gippsland’s abundant wind resources, the offshore turbines will generate green energy capable of powering over 1 million homes and businesses. Offshore wind energy is poised to play a crucial role for a reliable and secure electricity supply as Australia transitions away from fossil fuels.

Gippsland Dawn will be located 10–33 kilometres off the coast between Paradise Beach and Ocean Grange in Gippsland and will feature up to 140 turbines on fixed foundations, connected by cables to up to four offshore substations. From these substations, subsea cables will transport the power to an onshore landing point.

During the peak of construction, Gippsland Dawn is expected to create up to 2,000 jobs and once operational, the project will supply electricity for up to 30 years.
