By GlobalDataIn 2019, the New Jersey government unveiled its plans to generate 7,500MW of offshore wind capacity by 2035.
This target was a key component of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s long-term strategy for achieving a fully carbon-free energy supply by 2050.
PSEG chairman, president and CEO Ralph Izzo said: “From creating jobs and strengthening the economy to investing in infrastructure and bringing gigawatts of renewable energy to our coast, offshore wind is critical to New Jersey’s future.
“PSEG is pleased to close on its investment in Ocean Wind and looks forward to working with Ørsted to bring clean energy and new industry to the state.”
Ørsted recently agreed to divest a 50% ownership stake in its Borssele One and Two offshore wind farm project in the Netherlands to Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM).
