Energy minister in legal stoush over offshore wind farm

A company with plans to build one of Australia's first offshore wind farms is taking federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen to court over a decision not to grant it a licence to move forward with the project.

Flotation Energy had proposed to build the Seadragon windfarm, including up to 150 wind turbines and a network of subsea cables, off the coast of Gippsland in Victoria.

In a decision last year, the minister rejected the company's application for a licence that would have enabled it to proceed with an assessment into the feasibility of the project.
