Offshore Wind: The Key to Sustainable Economic Development in New Jersey
In support of its goal to achieve 100% clean energy by 2050, New Jersey has set an ambitious target of 11,000 megawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2040, and some developers have already begun the initial stages of constructing wind farms. As a coastal state, New Jersey is uniquely positioned to both tackle climate change and usher in a vibrant and dynamic new industry which will spur economic activity. Each wind farm implemented in the state is expected to add thousands of jobs to the economy.
