Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind has received Construction and Operations Plan approvals from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for Atlantic Shores Projects 1 and 2, which combined is estimated to generate 2,800 MW.
“Atlantic Shores is thrilled to receive approval to build our first two projects and deliver sufficient clean power to serve one third of New Jersey households,” says Joris Veldhoven, CEO of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind.
“Securing these critical approvals enables New Jersey’s first offshore wind project to start construction next year and represents meaningful progress in New Jersey achieving 100% clean energy by 2035. We are grateful to the Biden-Harris administration, our agency partners at the U.S. Department of the Interior and BOEM, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and all our federal and state agency partners who helped deliver this moment for Atlantic Shores.”
Atlantic Shores Project 1 is New Jersey’s first offshore wind project.
