Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind petitioned the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) on June 4, 2025 to terminate its Offshore Renewable Energy Certificate (OREC) order. The company, which is a partnership between power and fuel company Shell and EDF Renewables North America, was in the process of developing a 1.5-gigawatt wind turbine power project east of Atlantic City. Had it been constructed, the project would have powered about 700,000 homes across the state. The company cited economic turmoil, including inflation and supply chain disruptions, as well as a federal permitting freeze under the Trump administration, as reasons for the cancellation.
