Speaker agenda
Opportunities in wind
Western Australia is fortunate to have some of the best onshore and offshore wind resources in the world, much of which remains undeveloped. With the industry rapidly evolving and demand for new renewables continuing to grow developers, contractors and investors need to keep pace.
Our panellists will discuss the challenges and opportunities for wind development in WA, including accommodating bigger and bigger turbines, evolving construction techniques, onshore and offshore construction, land access and 3rd party permitting and approvals.
