The US Department of Energy (DoE) is set to begin its environmental review of developer Atlantic Shores’ 1.5GW development off New Jersey, the state’s largest offshore wind project to date.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), which regulates industry activity on the US federal outer continental shelf for the Department of Interior, will publish a notice of intent (NOI) to begin the assessment of the giant development, which is located 10-20 miles (16-32km) off Atlantic City, tomorrow (30 September).
