“From rising seas that threaten our coastline to higher temperatures that endanger the health of our most vulnerable residents, climate change is already impacting New Jersey, and we must act to reduce its adverse effects. Through the responsible development of offshore wind facilities, we can protect our aquatic and coastal resources and the communities who rely upon them while taking bold action to address the climate crisis by reducing emissions from fossil-fuel dependent energy sources. Alongside our interagency colleagues and stakeholders, the Department of Environmental Protection will play an important role in advancing this critical work in the years ahead,”
- Shawn LaTourette, Commissioner, NJDEP

"In order to meet its 80x50 GHG reduction goal, New Jersey must act swiftly to reduce GHG emissions from the electric generation sector. The state will need to rapidly deploy renewable sources of electricity by greatly expanding in-state solar PV and offshore wind production and procuring out-of-state renewable energy.”
