The federal Energy Minister has declared the Ninety Mile Beach on the
Gippsland coast to be Australia's first offshore wind zone. Offshore wind
farms aim to fill the future void left by coal-fired power station closures
in the Latrobe Valley, such as Loy Yang near Traralgon.
Federal government declares Australia's first six offshore wind energy zones
The first development is well under way, with most preliminary research
both at deep and surface sea levels, and on the on-land easement being
completed recently.

This is a major greening step, as the power generated by Star of the South
will equal that of the Loy Yang facility—which is around 20% of Victoria's
electricity needs.
