flag Australia cuts wind project fees to boost investment and jobs amid stalled projects.

flag The Australian government has temporarily cut fees and levies for offshore wind projects, slashing one application fee from $300,000 to $20,000, halving annual transmission and infrastructure levies, and waiving fees for feasibility and research licences. flag The two-year measures aim to ease financial and administrative burdens, support investment, and boost regional job creation amid global industry challenges. flag The move follows the pause of an $8 billion Victorian wind farm and the collapse of two other projects. flag While offshore wind development in Australia remains in early stages, with no operational farms yet, the government hopes these changes will strengthen the sector’s growth and attract long-term investment.
