NGS Super Spotlight: Partnering with Copenhagen Infrastructure

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), one of NGS Super’s investment managers, has recently lodged plans for the Leeuwin Offshore Wind project, in Geograph Bay, south of Perth. At 3GW, this will be the largest offshore wind farm in Australia to date, with up to 200 turbines and projected output of up to 11 Terawatt-hours (TWh) a year – that’s half the existing generation in Western Australia’s main grid. Current plans are for construction to begin in 2026, with completion in 2028.

Despite Australia’s suitability for offshore wind energy, there have been considerable delays getting the industry underway. In November 2021, the Offshore Electricity Infrastructure Bill finally passed, paving the way for offshore projects. CIP is also developing what’s likely to be the first completed offshore wind farm in Australian waters, off the south coast of Gippsland, Victoria.

NGS Super is excited to partner with investment managers like CIP, who are developing the meaningful renewable energy projects that are vital to tackling climate change and transitioning to the low-carbon economy. Investments like these are critical to our Carbon Neutral 2030 target.
