Ocean Wind was a proposed utility-scale 2,248 MW offshore wind farm to be located on the Outer Continental Shelf approximately 15 miles (24 km) off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was being developed by Ørsted US Offshore Wind in conjunction with Public Service Enterprise Group (PSE&G). Construction (in two phases of 1,100 MW and 1,148 MW) and commissioning were planned for the mid-2020s.[2] The closed Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station and B.L. England Generating Station would provide transmission points for energy generated by the wind farm.[3][4][5][6][7]
Ocean Wind 1 received federal approval for construction and operations on July 5, 2023, the third large-scale project to do so.
Ørsted canceled both projects on October 31, 2023, due to poor financial outlook caused by inflation and supply chain disruptions, including unavailability of a wind turbine installation vessel.[8][9][10][11]
