Read our privacy policy A German wind energy developer and a New York utility are teaming up to build another offshore wind power project off the New Jersey coast. Community Offshore said it has not yet determined how many wind turbines would be built as part of the project, which, if approved, would be the fourth off New Jersey's coast. Community Offshore would not say whether it will seek the same sort of tax break that New Jersey recently approved for Orsted and which Atlantic Shores is Perkins said the project has “the potential to transform New Jersey into a nation-leading clean energy development, training and manufacturing hub.” He said his company is the second-largest wind power developer globally, following Orsted. In February 2022, Community Offshore Wind won a 126,000-acre lease area in the New York Bight, the area between New Jersey and Long Island, where the project announced Friday would go.
