With unmatched regional and global connectivity to offshore wind markets, New Jersey is an emerging hub for offshore wind. Under Gov. Murphy, NJ has taken stategic and consistent steps to support its procurement goal of 7.5 GW of offshore wind energy by 2035. The state’s Offshore Wind Strategic Plan and Energy Master Plan were finalized in 2020 and remain a leading priority in NJ’s economic growth plan.

Located at the heart of the East Coast wind belt, the New Jersey Wind Port is geographically positioned to be a hub for U.S. offshore wind development. New Jersey is growing the supply chain through targeted port investments at a variety of NJ ports and facilities that hold strong potential for manufacturing, marshalling, and O&M.
Additional information on future solicitations will be forthcoming from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
