Two wind farm projects were approved, and would provide enough power for 1.1 million homes, officials said.
The approvals add to the 1,100 megawatts previously given the green light by New Jersey s Board of Public Utilities, which announced the new projects at a special meeting. New Jersey now has cleared the way for the second-most offshore wind power of any state, behind only New York.
The two projects are a 110-turbine wind farm by Atlantic Shores, which is owned by European power companies Shell New Energies US and EDF Renewables North America, and a 82-turbine farm by Ørsted called Ocean Wind 2.
Atlantic Shores farm will be located about 10.5 miles off the coast of shore towns north of Atlantic City. Ørsted s Ocean Wind 2 will be nearly 14 miles off Cape May.
