Empowering Local Industry Through ICN Victoria
ICN Victoria will play a central role at the event, connecting local suppliers with major projects in energy, infrastructure, and other priority sectors. Their commitment to the Local Jobs First policy ensures that significant contracts lead to real employment and economic growth in the region. As a trusted not-for-profit partner to both government and industry, ICN Victoria’s presence guarantees that Gippsland businesses are firmly in the spotlight.
Spotlight Projects: Aurora Green and Marinus Link
Participants will hear from leaders behind some of Australia’s most ambitious energy projects. Iberdrola Australia’s Aurora Green—a planned 3 GW offshore wind farm in Gippsland, situated 25 km offshore between Seaspray and Woodside Beach—will be featured as a transformative venture capable of powering up to 2.25 million homes, all while minimising visual impact and supporting sustainable development in the nation’s first designated offshore wind zone.
Marinus Link, another headline project, is set to revolutionise connectivity between Tasmania and Victoria. This undersea and underground electricity and data interconnector will facilitate the flow of reliable, affordable, and renewable electricity across the National Electricity Market, with recent Commonwealth environmental approval marking a significant step forward.
Expert Voices Lead the Discussion
The event will showcase distinguished speakers such as Nicola Pero, leader in Engagement & Social Licence at Iberdrola Australia, and Mark Lindsay, Head of Community Stakeholder Engagement. Drawing on their extensive experience in community relations, economic development, and cross-sectoral partnerships, both will offer valuable perspectives on building trust and fostering collaboration throughout the renewable energy landscape.
Looking Ahead
As the countdown to the GNEC25 suppliers event continues, interest from local businesses and industry stakeholders remains strong. This gathering is set to be a pivotal moment for Gippsland’s clean energy ambitions, opening doors for new partnerships and innovation while ensuring that regional communities play a central role in Australia’s sustainable future. We look forward to you joining us.
