TRENTON — A lawmaker wants New Jersey to give electric ratepayers $125 million in money that Danish offshore wind developer Ørsted paid the state as compensation for scrapping two massive wind farms off South Jersey.

2 years ago, Ørsted scrapped 2 big wind farms in New Jersey, starting offshore wind's decline

Oct. 31, 2023, was the day the offshore wind industry in New Jersey started to die.

Should New Jersey still pursue offshore wind? You voted: Yes, we need all the energy sources we can get. No, Trump made it clear wind's not happening. How do I get one of those small nuclear reactors? Vote View Results Back
