Ocean Wind 1 remains on track to begin onshore construction activities in the 3Q23, with offshore construction ramping up in 2024. Ocean Wind 1 will kickstart New Jersey’s role in the American offshore wind industry, powering approximately 500 000 homes with reliable renewable energy when it begins commercial operations in 2025.
“Ocean Wind 1 is on the cusp of making history as construction on New Jersey’s first offshore wind farm is set to begin in a few short months, delivering on the promise of good-paying jobs, local investment and clean energy,” said David Hardy, Group EVP and CEO Americas at Ørsted.
“By preparing to begin onshore construction this fall, Ocean Wind 1 will help bring New Jersey one crucial step closer to achieving a 100% clean energy economy by 2035 and 11 000 MW of offshore wind power by 2040,” added Phil Murphy, Governor of New Jersey.
