Thanks to this LiDAR buoy, knowledge of the licence area will be deepened in order to optimise the design of the wind farms to be developed in the region.

Iberdrola Australia, Iberdrola's international business in Australia, continues to make progress on the Aurora Green Offshore Wind project with the deployment of a floating LiDAR buoy and metocean measurement equipment.

Over the next 12 to 24 months, this equipment will collect essential data on wind, waves, currents and other atmospheric and oceanographic parameters. These data will be key to the project’s development and design, enabling a better characterisation of the wind resource and supporting the verification of the feasibility of the Aurora Green project.

This deployment marks a key step towards deepening knowledge of the licence area and ensuring that the selection and design of wind turbines and other project components are optimised to deliver clean and reliable energy to up to 2.25 million Australian homes over the coming decades.
