Breakdown
New Jersey’s first offshore wind farm cleared a major approval milestone early last month.
What Happened: On July 5, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the Department of the Interior OK’d the Record of Decision for the Ocean Wind 1 offshore wind project.
What It Means: That action marks the third time a U.S. commercial-scale offshore wind-energy project has been federally approved, with Ocean Wind 1 joining the ranks of wind farms off the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island already under construction. The early-July approval, according to a statement released by Gov. Phil Murphy, means that “Ocean Wind 1 will help bring New Jersey one crucial step closer to achieving a 100% clean energy economy by 2035 and 11,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2040.”
What’s Next: Ocean Wind 1, which is located roughly 13 nautical miles southeast off the Atlantic City coast, is still on schedule for onshore construction to commence in the fall. It is anticipated that the project will provide power to more than 380,000 homes once operational.
