Offshore Wind Energy Goal
Quick Summary
New Jersey's offshore wind program is a state-level energy goal rather than a direct homeowner incentive program. The state has committed to developing 11,000 megawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2040 to support its path to 100% clean energy by 2050, which will help lower overall grid carbon emissions over time. To benefit from offshore wind energy, homeowners should monitor their utility's renewable energy offerings and support state clean energy policies.

Program Summary
In January 2018, the Governor of New Jersey established a goal of 3,500 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind energy development by 2030 with the signing of Executive Order 8. In November 2019, Executive Order 92 increased the goal to 7,500 MW by 2035. The goal was again increased by Executive Order 307, and currently requires 11,000 MW of offshore wind by 2040.
