Offshore Wind
+Offshore Wind
With 130 miles of Atlantic Ocean shoreline, strong wind speeds, and shallow water depths, New Jersey is the strategically placed leader of America’s offshore wind industry. The New Jersey Wind Port is the nation’s first purpose-built offshore wind port, providing a location for essential staging, assembly, and manufacturing related to offshore wind projects on the East Coast.
New Jersey is also ensuring it has the workforce to meet offshore wind industry needs. The Wind Institute for Innovation & Training, part of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, advances offshore wind workforce development, education, research, and innovation. These commitments have led to New Jersey’s goal of producing 7,500 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035.
