1TRENTON, NJ – A new bill introduced in the New Jersey Assembly would prohibit the state’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) from granting any financial subsidies or incentives to wind energy projects, marking the latest pushback against New Jersey’s offshore wind program.

Assembly Bill 6017, sponsored by Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger and co-sponsored by Assembly members Gregory E. Myhre, Brian E.

The measure reflects growing opposition among some lawmakers to the use of state taxpayer dollars to support offshore wind development, citing fiscal and environmental concerns.
