The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has opened the state’s fourth offshore wind tender, and is seeking to award 1.2-4GW of capacity.
Applications must be received by 10 July. Awards are to be announced by the end of the year.
“This latest solicitation is further proof of our commitment to building a strong and thriving offshore wind industry that will deliver undeniable economic and environmental benefits to our state, for both this generation and the next,” said New Jersey governor Phil Murphy.
In the state’s third offshore wind tender, the NJBPU awarded power deals to two of New Jersey’s largest offshore wind projects to date: TotalEnergies, Corio Generation and Rise Light & Power’s 1,342MW Attentive Energy Two project and Invenergy and energyRE’s 2,400MW Leading Light Wind project.
It followed Danish developer Ørsted walking away from contracts for 2.2GW of offshore wind projects. It blamed supply chain bottlenecks and rising inflation for making the projects uneconomic.
