Seadragon Offshore Wind Project - Service provider

Introduction and Demographics

Flotation Energy is a specialist offshore wind developer with global experience in project delivery with projects in the UK, Ireland, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia and their team was part of building Kincardine, the world’s biggest operational floating offshore wind farm off Aberdeen, Scotland.

We have commissioned Umwelt Environmental and Social Consultants to conduct a Social and Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) of the Seadragon Offshore Wind Project. This survey will support that assessment.

Introducing the Seadragon Project
Harnessing the abundance of natural wind off the Gippsland coast, the Seadragon project is a 1.5GW offshore wind project that has the potential to power the equivalent of 1 million households with sustainable and affordable energy.

The project is in the early stages of project scoping and is subject to strict Commonwealth and State assessment and approvals. Typically, large scale infrastructure projects such as this take 6-10 years to plan and construct. Subject to achieving approvals during the project development phase, we estimate our project will commence construction in 2028 and be operational from 2030 onwards.

Key components of the Project include:

Offshore wind assets consisting of up to 150 Wind Turbine Generators and a network of buried and/or mechanically protected subsea inter-array cables
Four off-shore Substation Platforms
Onshore transmission cables
Up to two onshore substations
A connection to an existing, upgraded or new onshore terminal station.
A shore crossing connecting the offshore export cables to the onshore cables.
