Issued on 14 March, the order from the review board highlights that the Atlantic Shores developer disagreed with the board’s decision.
Atlantic Shores, a joint venture between Shell and EDF Renewables, holds leases for three offshore wind areas.
The lease block OCS-A 0499 off New Jersey, which was first secured by US Wind in 2015/2016 and acquired by EDF Renewables in 2018, was split into two areas in 2021. The southern part of the block contains Atlantic Shores South Project 1 and Atlantic Shores South Project 2, which received federal approval in October 2024.
A few months ago, Shell announced that it would pause its involvement in the Atlantic Shores offshore wind project, which could feature up to 200 wind turbines and a capacity of 2.8 GW.
