Australia, Victoria: Alinta Energy and Parkwind, a subsidiary of JERA Nex, will join forces to develop the >1 GW Spinifex offshore wind farm in the Southern Ocean Region Declared Area in southwest Victoria, Australia. The companies will apply their respective expertise and capabilities to develop the project together. They have identified a site for the project and will continue engaging with local stakeholders to refine their proposal and progress the project. A local supply chain and industry development study completed by the project in 2023 determined that the project could contribute up to $1.6 billion during the construction period and $40 million per year in operation to the regional economy.
Alinta Energy MD & CEO Jeff Dimery said: “JERA and Parkwind both have a great track-record in offshore wind and has pioneered some impressive engineering and construction techniques. We love that spirit and the launch of JERA Nex, bringing the two companies’ renewable expertise together, is exactly what we’ll need in Australia to build a new industry from the ground up.”
“There is huge potential for offshore wind in Australia and we’re confident that the combination of Alinta Energy’s local expertise and experience and our offshore credentials provide a strong foundation for this project,” said Francois Van Leeuw, VP of Development & Construction Offshore, JERA Nex and co-CEO of Parkwind.
