The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) and Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind (Atlantic Shores) have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) through which Atlantic Shores will lease 35 acres of land at the New Jersey Wind Port, in Lower Alloways Creek, Salem County.
Atlantic Shores will initially use the New Jersey Wind Port for marshaling of the 1.5 gigawatt (GW) offshore wind project off the New Jersey coast. The company expects the project to create more than 200 new jobs at the Port. Atlantic Shores’ lease is expected to start in mid-2026 for a period of up to three years and options to extend. Atlantic Shores is the second wind developer to execute an LOI for use of the Port, following execution of an LOI with Ørsted in April 2022.
