π Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of 3-GW Leeuwin Offshore Wind project.
Description:
Set to create Australiaβs biggest wind generation site, the wind complex is planned to be located in Geographe Bay, about 130 km (80.8 miles) south of Perth. The capacity will likely be installed in phases, with construction of the first one expected to start as early as 2026 and take 36 months, ending in 2028. Power from the complex will be brought onshore via undersea cables.
Once up and running, the Leeuwin park is expected to produce up to 11 TWh of electricity per year. The scheme is still in the early development stage and many of its detailed design parameters are yet to be determined. At this point, its plan is to use wind turbines of between 15 MW and 25 MW each.
