Energising the Hunter to create significant local job opportunities and deliver genuine economic benefits to the region.
The Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm will build on the Hunter Region’s living legacy as a centre for power generation and heavy industry.
Located more than 20 kilometres offshore, the Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm has the potential to provide new job opportunities, help revitalise local manufacturing and position the Hunter at the centre of the state’s transition to a cleaner, renewable future.
Novocastrian Wind has received a notice of intent to offer a feasibility licence by the Commonwealth Government in June 2024. Consultation and a regulatory process is now underway. A further update will be available pending a final outcome of the regulatory process.
