PSEG and Ørsted have announced that the companies have submitted several joint proposals for offshore wind transmission that support New Jersey’s clean energy goals.
Submitted into the PJM State Agreement Approach Proposal Window, the joint proposals are collectively named Coastal Wind Link and are designed to deliver thousands of megawatts of offshore wind energy into New Jersey. The Coastal Wind Link proposals encompass individual and networked solutions. The proposals will utilise existing PSEG infrastructure in New Jersey to expedite development and enhance constructability. In addition to the Coastal Wind Link proposals submitted jointly with Ørsted, PSEG’s affiliate, Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G), submitted multiple proposals into the PJM State Agreement Approach Proposal Window. PSE&G’s proposals target upgrades to the onshore grid that will be necessary to accommodate the new generation being built offshore.
