Worley has been awarded a framework agreement by Flotation Energy for the development of an offshore wind farm in Victoria, Australia. The company will provide pre-feasibility study services to Flotation Energy’s Seadragon project, a 1,500 MW offshore wind farm off the coast of Gippsland.
The proposed project site is located near older oil and gas platforms in the Bass Strait. This offers the potential for repurposing assets no longer needed for oil and gas production to house offshore infrastructure. It will also consider synergies for the construction, operations, and maintenance phases of the offshore wind farm. The study will propose the concept design of the overall project and provide recommendations for efficient execution. The initial study is projected to take 12 weeks, with first power expected in 2030.
