Copenhagen Energy to build 3000 MW Offshore Wind project in Australia
Copenhagen Energy has proposed to build the 3 GW Leeuwin offshore wind farm located nearly 15km-70km from the coast, within Geographe Bay. The project site is expected to be nearly 130 km south of Perth between Mandurah and Bunbury, in Western Australia.
The project will consist of 200 wind turbines, with 25 MW each, and substation platforms that will be built within Commonwealth Waters. Once operational, the wind farm is expected to generate up to 11TWh of power annually, enough electricity to meet the power consumption of about 3 million homes, and will offset an estimated 6 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
The project energy output will be transmitted via export cables which will traverse state waters to landfall onshore. The project will be developed in phases with construction to begin in 2026.
