The Australian state of Victoria has launched the country's first offshore wind auction, but there are still questions about whether the state can achieve this ambitious goal of renewable energy. The state government said in a statement that the call for proposals for a 2 gigawatt offshore wind project, which will generate enough electricity to meet the electricity needs of about 1.5 million households, began on Wednesday. The auction will close in August next year, and the relevant contract will be finalized in the second half of 2027.
