Offshore farms, dotted around the coast in waters where the wind never stops blowing, could one day power the nation's homes and industry.
Each would have the capacity to replace a coal-fired power plant, slashing the carbon footprint of Australia's greatest source of emissions - the generation of electricity.
The offshore wind industry, well established in Europe but new to Australia, also depends on deepwater ports that can receive components and serve as assembly points for the massive towers, turbines and blades.
