The Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has received a proposal from WA Offshore Windfarm Pty Ltd for the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Western Australian (WA) Offshore Windfarm project.

The project will be located approximately 5.5 km off the coast between Preston Beach and Myalup. If constructed, it will have a generation capacity of up to 300 MW, expected to power over 200,000 Western Australian homes.

The project will comprise up to 37 offshore wind turbine generators (WTGs) with supporting offshore and onshore electrical assets to transfer energy generated by the wind farm to the existing electricity network. The size of individual WTGs is yet to be determined, with an anticipated capacity ranging between 8 MW and 15 MW. The WTGs are expected to be supported by monopile structures.
