Not only will Atlantic City, N.J.-based offshore wind developer Fishermen's Energy participate in the upcoming New Jersey offshore wind lease auction, it may do so with a partner.
The embattled developer was one of 13 companies pre-qualified by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to participate in the lease auction.
‘We will be filing the necessary paperwork to perfect our status this week and will be meeting with potential investors and partners during the Offshore Wind Conference in Baltimore next week,’ notes Chris Wissemann, CEO of Fishermen's Energy.
The company's interest in the forthcoming federal auction is unrelated to its embattled Atlantic City demonstration project, which is located in state waters.
