wpd Australia project development director Mirjam Tome said: “In this joint venture, wpd can bring both outstanding expertise and many years of experience in the development, implementation, and operation of offshore projects to the emerging Australian market.

“With the investment opportunity offered by Australis Energy to participate in the further development of their Australian offshore wind project portfolio, we have the chance to work with one of the first project developers to start systematically developing offshore wind projects in Australia.”

In May this year, Global Infrastructure Partners agreed to purchase wpd offshore, the offshore wind business of wpd.
