The Japanese company, JERA Nex, has been steadily expanding its impressive offshore wind portfolio, actively developing projects and undergoing several acquisitions. Part of JERA Nex’s expanding portfolio is the experienced European developer Parkwind, which brings several European projects to its portfolio, most recently including the controversial Norwegian project “Sørlig Nordsjø II”. Australia is viewed as the next significant market, with several projects edging closer to the goal of establishing offshore wind farms along its coast. Developers are eagerly eyeing this market. It’s evident that JERA Nex is positioning itself in Australia, recognizing it as one of the new markets to invest in. The area they are bidding on is the “Southern Ocean”, which is currently open for bidding, marking the third round for offshore wind projects in Australia.
