Clean & Renewable
Wind power is a plentiful, low‑carbon source of renewable energy. It’s an important part of Australia’s energy transition, supplying clean electricity that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a cleaner future.
Offshore wind offers even greater potential. Stronger and more consistent winds at sea mean offshore turbines can generate more energy throughout the day, including during times of peak demand. This strengthens energy security by diversifying supply alongside other renewable sources such as onshore wind and solar, helping to provide stable energy supply and enhancing the overall resilience of the energy grid.
The EDF group, through its EDF power solutions subsidiary, has extensive experience delivering offshore wind projects around the world.
With nine operational offshore wind farms across France, the UK, Belgium, and China, and more in development, EDF has built approaches for developing projects in partnership with communities and environmental sensitivities in mind.

Bunbury Offshore Wind Project
The Bunbury Offshore Wind Project is a 1,500 MW offshore wind project being developed by EDF power solutions Australia in the Indian Ocean off the Bunbury region. The project is over 30km from shore and within the Bunbury Declared Area, one of six Declared Areas around Australia. When fully developed, the project has the potential to provide clean energy to approximately 1.1 million households.
The project's Feasibility Licences under the Offshore Electricity Infrastructure (OEI) Act was granted in 2026.

Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm
France – 480 MW
The wind farm consists of 80 offshore wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6 Megawatts (MW), for a total capacity of 480 MW.The turbines are located between 12 and 20 km off the coast of Loire-Atlantique, covering a total area of 78 km2, with water depths ranging from 12 to 25 metres.
The production covers the equivalent of 20% of the annual electricity consumption of Loire-Atlantique.
Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Wind Farm
United Kingdom – 450MW
Located 15.5 km off the coast of Fife, Scotland and providing an installed capacity of 450 MW.
The project generates enough electricity to power about 375,000 homes and eliminate 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
Thornton Bank Offshore Wind Farm
Belgium – 325MW
Thornton Bank Offshore Wind Farm is the oldest offshore wind farm in Belgium and has a capacity of 325 MW. The project is located in the North Sea, 30km from West Flanders, Belgium and features 54 turbines.
Electricity production started in early 2009, with a capacity of 30 MW. The capacity was increased to a total of 214 MW in 2012 and 325 MW in 2013.
