The Illawarra, including the key bases of Wollongong and Port Kembla, provides an incredible home for an offshore wind farm with a mindset, infrastructure and workforce experienced in developing and delivering large projects requiring a diversity of skillsets honed in steelmaking, manufacturing, power generation, engineering, mining, port and land logistics, project management and support services, amongst many others.
The Illawarra Offshore Wind Farm is committed to the sustainable development of a supply chain that optimises local regional capability and global experience to develop and deliver world-class, nationally significant projects of enduring benefit. We invite the local and global supply chain to register so we can get started. You will be the first to receive project updates and the opportunity to participate in shaping a NSW based offshore wind industry.
