Australia

SYDNEY, March 22, 2023 – Simply Blue Group has partnered with offshore engineering company Subsea 7 and local green energy player Spark Renewables to develop floating wind projects in Australia, the Irish renewables developer announced on Wednesday.

The consortium has targeted projects off the Hunter-Central coast and in the Illawarra renewable energy zones, including the Hunter offshore wind area.

“With a long coastline and stable continental shelf, we see huge potential for offshore floating wind projects off New South Wales,” said Sam Roch-Perks, Group CEO of Simply Blue Group.

“We hope to bring the valuable lessons learnt from our existing global portfolio of over 10 GW of floating wind projects to Australia.”

Subsea 7 has also partnered with Simply Blue Group on the Salamander floating offshore wind development in Scotland.
