The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has denied the petition of Nautilus Offshore Wind, LLC to install a 25 MW offshore wind demonstration project in state waters off the coast of Atlantic City. 

This pilot project, originally proposed in 2009, does not demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits required under the Offshore Wind Economic Development Act (OWEDA) for the state to commit ratepayer funds. 

The offshore wind farm is located near the coast of Atlantic City, in north-east USA. It is comprised of three MHI Vestas V164-8.3 MW wind turbines with a combined capacity of up to 25 MW.
