Statement of Thomas Brostrøm, President, Ørsted North America in response to New Jersey’s Solicitation for Offshore Wind

“We are very pleased that Governor Murphy has asked the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to initiate the process that will open solicitations for 1,100 MW of offshore wind in New Jersey today. This swift action once again demonstrates the Governor’s ongoing leadership and support of offshore wind in New Jersey. It is exciting to see New Jersey setting forth ambitious, yet achievable offshore wind energy goals. As the developer of the most advanced utility-scale offshore wind project in the state, we look forward to working with Governor Murphy and the NJBPU, who are committed to bringing this clean, renewable energy source to New Jersey while growing the economy and creating jobs.”
