Alinta Energy and JERA Nex, through its wholly owned subsidiary Parkwind, have agreed to collaborate on the development of the 1GW+ Spinifex Offshore Wind Farm in the Southern Ocean Region Declared Area in South West Victoria, Australia.
The parties have identified a site for the project and will continue engaging with local stakeholders to refine their proposal and advance the project. A local supply chain and industry development study completed by the project in 2023 estimated that the project could contribute up to A$1.6 billion during the construction period and A$40 million per year in operation to the regional economy. RBC Capital Markets and Rothschild & Co served as joint financial advisors, while Clayton Utz acted as legal advisor to Alinta Energy, and Ashurst acted as legal advisor to Parkwind.
