Two planned offshore wind projects in South Australia have been canceled due to strong community opposition. The projects, which were expected to be multi-billion dollar investments, faced concerns about their visual impact and potential harm to fishing industries.
Two offshore wind projects in South Australia have been scrapped amid opposition to the sector. In 2022, two major offshore wind projects were announced in South Australia, offering a glimpse into what the future of renewable energy could look like. Planned off the state's south-east coast, they were touted as multi-billion-dollar investments which would help power local industry and homes.
But both projects have now been scrapped and any vision for wind turbines off the South Australian coast is gone — for now.
