Hunter offshore wind project opens door to job, investment opportunities
Equinor country representative Thomas Hansen admitted the Hunter was an attractive area for the development of offshore wind projects.
“That’s mainly due to the strong wind resources, energy demand, infrastructure, industrial capabilities and workforce already there,” he said.
“Offshore wind also provides the perfect opportunity to diversify Newcastle’s economy by pivoting thousands of jobs in the local manufacturing, construction, maritime, transport and logistics industries into the renewable energy sector.
“In addition, the accessibility of the Port of Newcastle and our existing local skills base would allow offshore wind to precipitate the emergence of a new renewable energy industry in Newcastle and the Hunter.
