I stand with workers and environment groups in supporting responsible development of offshore wind in our region.
Offshore wind can provide Newcastle and the Hunter:
- 3,120+ construction jobs and 1,560+ ongoing operational jobs- boosting our local economy.
- The potential to generate 5 gigawatts of renewable energy, enough to power 4.2 million homes and bring down household power bills
- Local manufacturing of turbines
- Opportunity for local industries to decarbonise
