Iberdrola Australia receives green light for Aurora Green
Today the Hon Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy has announced a preliminary intention to award Iberdrola Australia an offshore feasibility license for the Aurora Green site off the coast of Gippsland, Victoria. The license award is subject to consultation with Native Title holders in accordance with the Native Title Act. Iberdrola Australia welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with First Nations people to ensure the benefits of Australia’s energy transition are shared by all stakeholders.
The Aurora Green offshore wind site has been under analysis for almost three years. The proposed license area can host up to 3GW of offshore capacity, with all turbines located in excess of 25km from the Gippsland coastline. With an operational life of at least 30 years, the energy from Aurora Green will make a critical contribution to Victoria’s energy transition by providing replacement capacity for Victoria’s ageing and inflexible coal fired generators.
