Energy projects in Victoria
Updated
Victoria is in the middle of one of the most substantial shifts in its energy history, as coal generation moves toward retirement. Wind, solar, batteries and transmission upgrades are all scaling up to fill that gap, while an offshore wind industry is taking shape off the Gippsland coast that could eventually add gigawatts of new capacity. Grid congestion in the state's west and the sequencing of network upgrades are the dominant near-term constraints shaping where and when projects can actually get built.
