On June 21, the New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities awarded
a 1,100 MW contract to Ørsted
for the construction of an
offshore wind energy project 15
miles off the coast of Atlantic
City. The project is expected to
have about 100 individual turbines.
Construction is expected to begin in 2020 with the wind farm operational in 2024. On July 19,
New York followed New Jersey and awarded two contracts for a total of 1,700 MW for offshore
wind development. Ørsted and Equinor received contracts to build 880 MW and 816 MW of
offshore wind, respectively. Equinor holds a lease area 20 miles off Sandy Hook. Equinor expects
to use 10 – 15 MW turbines for the project, making the total amount of turbines for the project
range between 54 and 82 turbines total.
