German energy company RWE receives 7-year feasibility license for Australia's first offshore wind farm, Kent, in Bass Strait.

German energy company RWE has received a 7-year feasibility license from the Australian government for the Kent Offshore Wind Farm project, the country's first designated offshore wind zone located in the Bass Strait. The wind farm, with a potential capacity of 2 GW, could power 1.6 million Australian homes and become operational by the early 2030s, pending approvals, grid connection, and secured offtake. The project aligns with RWE's strategy to grow its renewable energy portfolio in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
