In this podcast, Beyond Zero radio's Anthony Daniele and Matt Grantham talk to Andy Evans, Managing Director of Offshore Energy, a Victorian-based company established in 2012 to identify suitable locations off the coast of Australia for the development of offshore wind energy projects. Andy Evans (formerly working with Acciona) has recently gained public support from the Victorian government, investors and is in talks with the CEFC for the proposed 250 turbine project, looking at depths ranging between 20 metres and 40 metres off the Gippsland coast in Victoria's east.

"The Gippsland coast was chosen for its high quality wind resource (providing high capacity factors of over 40%) and close proximity to existing infrastructure, with plans to run 95km of undersea and underground high voltage transmission cables (4 cables each of 500MW capacity) directly to an existing connection point on the Victorian grid in the Latrobe Valley.”

Erin Jones hosts a busy show with the theme being Divestment

 

Matt Grantham, as part of his Masters of Applied Finance at Macquarie University, recently analyzed the corporate strategy for the recent demerger of EON in Europe (which is one of the world’s largest investor-owned electric utility service, based in Germany). The company was split into in low carbon distributed business (EON) while Uniper retained the high carbon intensity centralized assets. Matt will explore the corporate strategies associated with managing assets in diverging centralized and distributed markets and the lessons that can be learned from what happened in Europe. Matt recently published a series of articles in Renew Economy on this topic. Join us for a utilities’ guide for a brown to green transition.
