Reducing the carbon emissions produced by electricity, primarily through transitioning to renewable energy, is one of the most effective strategies that Australia can employ to mitigate future impacts of climate change. Offshore wind power, with its potential to deliver substantial amounts of reliable renewable power, courtesy of larger turbines and stronger ocean winds, offers a promising pathway to achieving net-zero emissions in the energy sector. However, amidst this promise lie significant challenges in ensuring that the development of offshore wind occurs in an equitable, inclusive, environmentally responsible, and socially acceptable manner.
