The Port can be home to multiple manufacturing facilities that will build the necessary components for offshore wind turbines. It is also strategically situated for component staging, final assembly, and transport (collectively known as marshalling). The New Jersey Economic Development Authority is ...
The turbines in the New Jersey offshore wind far will help to reduce both costs and environmental impact. According to GE, each of theturbinesthat will be used at the Ocean Wind project has a capacity of 12 megawatts. As such, the greenhouse gas emissions-free power they generate is the ...
Anew Stockton University Poll shows New Jersey public support for building offshore wind turbines took a steep dive over the past four years, especially among residents in areas along the ocean and bays-where the plans for wind power once enjoyed 77% support. By early October, that support ...
It was unclear whether any offshore wind projects, including Atlantic Shores, would ever be built in New Jersey in coming years or at all. But it appears unlikely any other projects in New Jersey's offshore wind pipeline could move forward, given that none, except for Atlantic Shores, had ...
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and PJM Interconnection have filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for approval of an agreement to implement New Jersey’s offshore wind transmission grid solicitation.
Wind farms are critical to building better energy grids, but most turbines still come with a hefty catch. Once decommissioned, their massive metal blades often simplyend up in landfills—and those that do make it to recycling facilities generate large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions while bein...
Leading Light Wind, the developer of an up to 2.4-GW wind project off New Jersey, has requested another pause for the scheme’s contract after facing challenges in the procurement of critical equipment.

The government's first major undertaking is to establish offshore wind territory, situated between Long Island and New Jersey. If successful, the project will then establish farms near coastal population centers, like New York City. Wind-generated power has become a much more significant presence ...
Trump has said wind turbines are horrible, only work with subsidies and are “many, many times” more expensive than natural gas. Offshore wind is expensive, costing about $100 per megawatt hour for new projects connecting to the grid in 2028, the Energy Information Administration estimates. ...
