Atlantic Shores Wind Project Cancelled

Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, the vaunted partnership project between Shell and EDP Renewables planned for the east coast finally succumbed to pressure from both the new United States administration and local petitions demanding the project be scrapped. Originally marketed as a landmark collaboration to build a ”5+ gigawatt offshore wind portfolio, strategically positioned to meet the growing demands of multiple east coast markets including New Jersey and New York”, the project has formally withdrawn its plans.

According to the OREC filing to the utilities boars, per an atttorney for Atlantic Shores, "Due to the uncertainty caused by the Presidential Wind Memorandum, the subsequent loss of the Air Permit, and other actions.... Atlantic Shores has been forced to materially reduce its personnel, terminate contracts, and cancel planned project investments.”
