Please list the key benefits.
The benefits are the broad benefits of increasing the supply of renewable energy for Tasmania and facilitating the production of zero emissions fuel such as hydrogen. There is also the possibility increased supply to the east coast grid.
Do you have any concerns related to the environment for offshore renewable energy projects in this proposed area?
Can you see any benefits or opportunities related to the community and onshore transmission for offshore renewable energy projects in this proposed area?
Please list the key benefits.
Diversity of renewably produced electricity has the potential to take the pressure of the Tasmanian hydro-electric system which may be of particular benefit in dry years.

Do you have any concerns related to visual amenity for offshore renewable energy projects in this proposed area?
Please note why you don’t have any concerns related to visual amenity.
The visual impact of Offshore Wind turbines is minimal.
Can you see any other benefits or opportunities for offshore renewable energy projects in this proposed area?
Please list the key benefits.
Regional diversity in the Offshore Renewable energy projects has the potential to aid the stability of electricity supply.
Separately the Offshore Wind industry may be able to work with the Australian Maritime College at UTas in Launceston to provide training opportunities for aspiring seafarers.
Do you have any other concerns for offshore renewable energy projects in this proposed area?
Please list your key concerns.
Our main concern is that Australia's current maritime workforce is ageing and there is no industry-wide national training plan to skill the next generation of Australian seafarers.
