EDF and Fishermen’s Energy submit joint application for offshore wind project
EDF Renewables North America and Fishermen’s Energy have announced that they have submitted a joint petition for approval of the 25 MW Nautilus offshore wind project, located off the coast of Atlantic City in New Jersey, a state on the north-east coast of the USA.
This would be the state's first offshore wind project. The developers believe that New Jersey will realize considerable benefits by moving forward with a small-scale project first. For example, the skilled offshore wind construction and operations jobs created by the project will prepare the local workforce for the gigawatts of potential off the state's Atlantic coast.
The application shows substantial net benefits to the state at a low cost for New Jersey electric consumers. Additionally, EDF Renewables and Fishermen’s Energy anticipate that the project will further serve to improve environmental management by providing a laboratory for testing of new avian monitoring and marine mammal sensing technologies.
The developers aim to bring the project online by 2020.
