Equinor and Nexsphere join forces to progress the Bass Offshore Wind Energy (BOWE) project in the Bass Strait, Tasmania, Australia. The BOWE project is a fixed bottom foundation offshore wind farm development located about 30 kilometres off Tasmania’s north-east coast.
Situated within the proposed offshore wind energy zone to be announced by the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, The Hon Chris Bowen MP, the project has potential to scale up to multiple gigawatts of installed capacity across multiple stages. The collaboration combines Equinor’s global experience and expertise in the development and construction of offshore wind farms with Nexsphere’s local experience and track record. The agreement between Equinor and Nexsphere is expected to be completed in Q1 2023, subject to relevant approvals. The BOWE project is also subject to relevant regulatory declarations, licensing and other approvals.
