The proposed Star of the South offshore wind farm would be the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The planned 2000-2200 megawatt farm off the Gippsland Coast of Victoria has gone to labour market study as Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and developers Offshore Energy determine how many workers and what types of equipment will be needed to complete the project. It may be a few years before offshore wind is a reality, but it could drastically increase the capacity for renewable energy in Australia.
Star of the South
When it opens, Star of the South’s 2000-2200 MW will represent more than a third of the country’s wind energy capacity at the end of 2018. Of course, there will by then be a great deal more capacity as projects totaling nearly 20,000 MW are in some stage of development. Still, though, offshore wind offers wide open spaces where there is much more supply than on land, where size and scale are necessarily limited. The 2200 MW would be enough energy to power about 1.2 million homes, with 250 turbines harnessing wind and an undersea cable connecting Star of the South to the mainland.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
