Atlantic Shores Pulls Plug on N.J. Offshore Wind Project

By Vince Conti

In a June 4 filing with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), wind farm developer Atlantic Shores formally requested the termination of the order approving its offshore wind project near Long Beach Island and Atlantic City. Calling the project no longer viable, the company remained supportive of New Jersey’s goals for offshore wind, pointing out the need the state has for increased electrical generation.

Since the beginning of the year, Atlantic Shores lost its partner Shell plc when the company pulled out of the project. One month later French energy giant EDF Group took a massive 940 million euro write-down on the effort.
