Tender Description
About Flotation Energy
Flotation Energy is a specialist offshore wind developer with global experience in project delivery. With projects in the UK, Ireland, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia. The team has been involved in building over 3 GW of offshore wind projects including Kincardine, the world's biggest operational floating offshore wind farm off Aberdeen, Scotland. There is a tremendous opportunity to make offshore wind a significant contributor to Australia's power generation and a net zero future. Flotation Energy's expertise and hands-on experience mean they are ready to deliver a successful outcome for the Seadragon project in Gippsland and help shape the new offshore wind industry in Australia.
About the Project
Seadragon is a proposed 1,500 MW offshore wind farm and electricity transmission project. The wind turbine generators will be on fixed foundations and installed 20 - 40 kms off Ninety Mile Beach between Paradise Beach and McGaurans Beach, in Bass Strait, Gippsland. Floating foundations are also under consideration. Inter-array cables will connect the turbines to offshore substation platforms and then HVAC transmission cables from those substations will connect the wind farm to onshore transmission infrastructure. There will be onshore substations and transmission infrastructure to connect into the grid in the Latrobe Valley.
Project development will include a program of environmental and cultural heritage surveys, geophysical / geotechnical / ground investigations, technical design, planning and environmental approvals, workforce development and work to build the supply chain and port capability.
The Seadragon project has been in development since 2019 and will be one of Australia's first offshore wind farms. The offshore wind farm is planned to commence construction in 2028 and expected to be operational from 2030.
