The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities announced on Friday that it has selected Ocean Wind, an offshore wind energy project proposed by Orsted in partnership with Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), to develop a 1.1-gigawatt wind farm 15 miles off the coast of Atlantic City. Upon its expected completion in 2024, Ocean Wind is projected to provide electricity sufficient to power some 500,000 residences in New Jersey.

The selection followed the state’s first solicitation for offshore wind power. Construction is expected to begin early in the next decade.
