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.

The decision is designed to prevent rising energy costs, with the cost of connections affecting all users under the previous rules because…
