Atlantic Power Transmission (APT), a Blackstone portfolio company, has announced its bid to develop a clean power transmission solution in response to the 2021 New Jersey Offshore Wind SAA Transmission Solicitation initiated by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, in collaboration with PJM Interconnection.
APT’s project offers a total offshore wind transmission solution of up to 3,600MW. The entire route of the project will utilise underground electric transmission lines to minimize its social and environmental impacts. The project enters onshore at an existing industrial site and aims to avoid disrupting New Jersey’s beachfront communities.
