New Jersey’s Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project

A New Era of Energy for New Jersey

Building the Future: Navigating the Highs and Lows of New Jersey’s Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project

The winds of change are blowing strong off the coast of New Jersey literally. The Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project, one of the most ambitious renewable energy projects in the country, is set to transform how we power our homes, businesses, and future.

This large-scale effort is more than just a feat of engineering. It’s a symbol of progress, sustainability, and long-term resilience values that we at All Point Roofing and Chimney live by in our work across every county in New Jersey, from Monmouth to Middlesex, and everywhere in between.

What Is the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project?

Located between Atlantic City and Barnegat Light, the Atlantic Shores project is a joint venture between Shell New Energies US and EDF Renewables North America. When fully operational, it will be capable of generating over 1.5 gigawatts of clean, renewable energy, enough to power 700,000+ homes across New Jersey.

Key Features:

• Area: 183,000 acres off the coast of NJ

• Turbines: Up to 111 offshore wind turbines

• Output: Enough to power nearly 20% of NJ households

• Jobs: Expected to create thousands of construction and long-term maintenance jobs

• Timeline: Projected completion by the early 2030s, with some phases rolling out earlier

This wind farm represents a key component of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s goal to reach 100% clean energy by 2050. It also supports the Biden administration’s national offshore wind target of 30 GW by 2030.

Challenges and Controversy

As with any major development, the Atlantic Shores project comes with its share of highs and lows.

✔ Highs:

• Promotes environmental sustainability

• Decreases dependence on fossil fuels

• Boosts local job creation

• Strengthens coastal infrastructure

❌ Lows:

• Concerns about impact on marine wildlife and fishing industries

• Visual pollution and opposition from shoreline communities

• Long permitting processes and regulatory hurdles

• Storm resilience and turbine durability still being studied

Environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council support the project but urge developers to proceed cautiously to avoid harming whale migration and marine ecosystems.

What It Means for New Jersey Homeowners

As these massive turbines rise on the horizon, many New Jersey homeowners are asking how this will affect their lives.

• Will my energy bills change?

• Is my home ready for new weather and energy patterns?

• How can I make my property more energy-efficient now?

That’s where All Point Roofing and Chimney steps in.
