The Australian offshore wind energy sector will benefit from the knowledge of ACOWE researchers, and our working relationships with research colleagues from across Europe, the US and Asia. Our researchers are experienced in working with industry, government and local and international universities on the challenges facing the development of offshore wind energy and adjacent industries.

Long-Term Assessment of Wind Energy Potential off Australia’s Coast
Australia’s offshore regions, particularly those influenced by the westerly wind belt, hold substantial wind energy resources. Offshore Victoria, particularly in the Bass Strait, has been identified as an ideal location due to its stable wind patterns and high energy potential.
