Wind Export Delegation to Australia 15-19 Sep 2025
Join us for an export delegation to Melbourne to investigate the growing opportunities within onshore and offshore wind, as well as operation and maintenance of the existing wind farms.
DI, Danish Energy Export and the Royal Danish Consulate in Melbourne invite you to explore opportunities in the Australian wind power market.
With significant investments driving expansion, this trip offers unique insights into the latest developments, particularly in the operation and maintenance (O&M) of existing wind farms.
This delegation is relevant for everyone interested in engaging with key industry players, discover new business prospects or gain first-hand market insights.
During the visit, the delegation will participate in APAC Wind Energy Summit (conference and exhibition) in Melbourne, organised by the Global Wind Energy Council. The conference attracts Australian and international companies involved in the upcoming APAC project. This is an excellent opportunity to meet all the key players in one place, networking and knowledge sharing.
Moreover, we will organise several B2B meetings, where you can learn more about the market, present your solutions and explore cooperation possibilities.
Australian Wind Power Market
Australia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, driving substantial investments in renewable energy, including wind power. In 2023, renewable energy accounted for nearly 40% of the nation’s electricity generation, highlighting significant potential for further investments in the coming years. To support this growth, the Australian Government is implementing the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), which facilitates renewable energy development through competitive auctions.
As of 2023, Australia’s onshore wind installed capacity stood at approximately 10.5 GW. In December 2024, the winners of CIS Tender 1 were announced, with projects adding a combined 6.4 GW of renewable energy to the grid, including 3.6 GW from seven wind projects. The next CIS (generation) tender is expected to be awarded in Oct 2025 and it aims to add another 6 GW of wind and solar.
The majority of Australia’s large-scale wind farms were commissioned between 2010 and 2015, meaning the average age of these facilities is now 7–8 years. To maintain efficiency and optimize performance, there is a growing need to focus on operation and maintenance (O&M) strategies, creating opportunities for innovative service providers.
Australia is also making strides in offshore wind development. The state of Victoria has set ambitious targets, aiming for 2 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2023 and 9 GW by 2040.
Additionally, developers are increasingly integrating wind, solar, and battery storage systems to enhance energy reliability and efficiency. This trend presents an excellent opportunity for Danish suppliers to contribute with their advanced components and solutions.
