Ocean City officials aren’t the only ones taking issue with a proposed offshore wind energy farm.
In Ocean City, members of the community and elected officials are raising objections to Danish energy company Orsted’s plans for a wind farm 15 miles off the South Jersey coast from Atlantic City to Cape May.
Also, elected officials and representatives of the fishing industry in Long Beach Island are voicing similar concerns over another wind farm proposed by Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind about 10 miles off Barnegat Light.
Ocean City and Long Beach Island, in Ocean County, share in their concerns over what the wind farms could do. Both Orsted and Atlantic Shores have hosted town hall meetings in-person and virtually amid the pandemic, but questions continue to swirl from the public about the “what ifs.”

A rendering of the New Jersey Wind Port in Salem County
The Murphy administration’s plan to spend $200 million to upgrade a new port in South Jersey to serve the offshore wind industry is being touted as a step toward making New Jersey a hub of the fast-growing sector.
The commitment, proposed by Gov. Phil Murphy last week in his budget for the fiscal year that begins in July, also not so coincidentally matches what New York is offering offshore wind developers to build out ports in the Empire State.
The actions illustrate the stakes of the increasing rivalry and the costs arising for states along the Eastern Seaboard all pivoting to grab their share of new jobs, increased tax revenue, and other benefits from transitioning to a cleaner way of producing electricity for their residents and businesses.
