Focus on Ocean Wind

Ocean Wind was a proposed utility-scale 2,248 MW offshore wind farm to be located on the Outer Continental Shelf approximately 24 km (15 miles) off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was being developed by Ørsted US Offshore Wind in conjunction with PSE&G. Construction in two phases (of 1,100 MW and 1,148 MW) and commissioning were planned for the mid-2020s. Ocran Wind 1 received federal approval for construction and operations on July 5, 2023, the third large-scale project to do so. However, Ørsted canceled both projects on October 31, 2023, due to poor financial outlook caused by inflation and supply chain disruptions, including unavailability of a wind turbine installation vessel.
