Nationwide Grid Ventures (NGV) and Con Edison Transmission have submitted plans for constructing a transmission infrastructure that may join offshore wind energy to the New Jersey electrical energy grid.
The challenge, named the Backyard State Power Path, proposes laying underground cables that may allow the supply of roughly 6 GW of offshore wind energy from its level of landfall on the Sea Girt Nationwide Guard Coaching Heart to the Larrabee Tri-Collector Station in Howell Township.
The Backyard State Power Path consists of pre-build infrastructure that may home the cables carrying electrical energy generated by 4 offshore wind tasks to the New Jersey grid.
“Pre-build infrastructure is a great and coordinated strategy to transmission for offshore wind, lowering the necessity to individually assemble transmission infrastructure for every offshore wind challenge,” stated Will Hazelip, President of Nationwide Grid Ventures, US Northeast.
If authorized, the challenge could be in operation by early 2029, prepared to be used by chosen New Jersey offshore wind farms.
The Backyard State Power Path is foundational to serving to New Jersey attain its purpose of 11 GW of offshore wind by 2040, stated the businesses.

New Jersey held three auctions for offshore wind to date, procuring 7.4 GW of era capability.
In 2019, the state awarded a contract to Ørsted’s 1.1 GW Ocean Wind challenge, which the developer just lately cancelled on account of further provider delays impacting the challenge schedule.
In 2021, the second solicitation resulted within the largest mixed award of two.6 GW of offshore wind capability to EDF/Shell’s Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind and Ørsted’s Ocean Wind 2 tasks.
In January this yr, New Jersey procured two new offshore wind tasks totalling 3,742 MW. In its third offshore wind solicitation, New Jersey has chosen Main Gentle Wind (2,400 MW), developed by Invenergy and energyRE, and Attentive Power Two (1,342 MW), developed by a three way partnership between TotalEnergies and Corio Era.
On 29 November 2023, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy directed the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to launch the fourth offshore wind solicitation in early 2024, as an alternative of the third quarter of this yr, accelerating the schedule of the fourth solicitation and the state’s transfer to reaching its offshore wind targets.
