🌊 Victoria's Offshore Wind Revolution: $Billion Transmission Project Awards 3 Global Giants

Major Breakthrough for Australia's Clean Energy Future in 2025

Victoria is making waves in Australia's renewable energy transition! The state just announced three world-class consortia competing to build the game-changing offshore wind transmission link that'll power millions of homes by 2032.

If you're tracking Australia's clean energy boom or looking to slash your energy bills, here's everything you need to know.

🏆 Meet the Three Finalists Battling for Victoria's Offshore Wind Project

VicGrid has officially shortlisted three heavyweight consortia to construct the critical transmission infrastructure connecting offshore wind farms to Victoria's electricity grid:

1. Iberdrola (Spain) - Gippsland Coast Connect

• Global renewable energy leader with 40+ GW capacity worldwide

• Also competing for NSW's New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ)

• Proven track record in offshore wind across Europe

2. Acciona (Spain) - Energy Infrastructure Specialists

• Leading the Hunter REZ upgrades in NSW

• Experienced in large-scale renewable transmission projects

• Strong focus on community-driven renewable solutions

3. AusNet Transmission Group - Local Expertise

• Victorian-based network operator

• Deep understanding of local regulations and communities

• Partnership model: "Genesis Partnerships"

Winner announcement: Mid-2026

⚡ What's Being Built? The Technical Breakdown

Project Specifications:

• 500 kilovolt (kV) double-circuit overhead transmission line

• Starting point: 6km inland near Giffard, Victoria

• Connection point: Loy Yang coal power station switchyard

• Initial capacity: 2 GW by 2032

• Future expansion: Up to 9 GW by 2040

Why 500 kV Instead of 330 kV?

VicGrid chose the beefier 500 kV option because:

✅ Lower long-term costs than running two smaller lines

✅ More efficient power transmission over long distances

✅ Future-proof infrastructure ready for capacity expansion

✅ Reduced environmental footprint with fewer transmission corridors

💰 Landowners to Receive $200K Per Kilometre + Compensation

Victoria's offshore wind transmission project isn't just about clean energy—it's bringing substantial financial benefits to regional communities.

What Landowners Get:

• $200,000 per kilometre of transmission line on their property

• Standard compensation for land use and access

• Ongoing consultation throughout construction and operation

• Priority employment opportunities for local workers

Community Benefits Package Includes:

🔹 Jobs creation in regional Gippsland

🔹 Indigenous community partnerships and cultural heritage protection

🔹 Local supplier and contractor opportunities

🔹 Infrastructure upgrades in host communities

🔹 Educational programs and apprenticeships

🌏 Why Global Players Are Rushing to Australia's Renewable Energy Market

Australia's traditionally monopolized transmission market is opening up to competitive bidding—and the world's energy giants are taking notice.

What This Means for Victoria:

✔️ Lower costs through competitive tender processes
