MEDIA BRIEFING – Propelling clean power: Offshore wind demystified

Climate Media Centre 2 mins read

Event details: May 29, 2025 12:30 PM AEST | 10:30 AM AWST | 12 PM ACST via Zoom

 

You’re invited to “Propelling clean power: Offshore wind demystified” an online media briefing from the Climate Media Centre that will bring together experts, community members and industry insiders to answer your questions on offshore wind. We will cover topics such as end-of-life management, marine impact, jobs, and community benefits.

 

Offshore wind is booming in popularity overseas but concerns persist here over the social, environmental and aesthetic impact of offshore wind. However, despite anti-offshore wind campaigns featuring prominently in this year’s Federal Election, Australians rejected the disinformation in favour of renewable energy progress.

No more excuses: Put people ahead of gas exporters

A broad range of consumer, industry and climate and environment organisations have called upon the Federal Government to put people ahead of gas exporters as the AlbaneseGovernment considers a new gas policy expected to be released any day.

Rewiring Australia says the expansion of the home battery subsidy is a positive step, but accessible finance will be critical to ensure lower power bills are shared across the community. The Federal Government yesterday announced an expansion of its Cheaper Home Batteries program, which provides an upfront discount on eligible home battery systems to reduce installation costs for households and small businesses. Rewiring Australia CEO Francis Vierboom has welcomed the expansion while highlighting the need to ensure more households are able to participate as rebates reduce over coming years. “This announcement reflects the growing role household batteries play in an…
