New Jersey has chosen a Danish company to build a wind energy project off the coast of Atlantic City that could power half a million homes.
The state Board of Public Utilities on Friday chose Ørsted to build a project that would generate 1,100 megawatts of electricity.
The company says the work could be completed by 2024.
The BPU said the project will cause an estimated monthly bill increase of $1.46 for residential customers, $13.05 for commercial customers and just over $110 for industrial customers. [ ]
Murphy, a Democrat, wants New Jersey to produce all its energy from clean sources by 2050.
Ørsted already operates a windmill farm off Rhode Islands Block Island and has leases for other projects off New Jersey and Massachusetts.

The biggest kickbacks gets the contract.
Yup. And my browser windows kept closing. Sorry.
“The sliding scale of monthly increases should ensure that commercial and industrial accounts will flee to other states, thereby leaving residential customers on the hook for future increases.”
Watch what happens in Colorado. The legislature and PUC have given Excel a license to steal.
Operational word emphasized.
What would be wrong with using the word "will" unless the Rats are unsure of success?
Brilliant move, Murphy. Daresay most INFORMED citizens would probably advise against something like this.
What will the people living in those “half a million homes” do on a hot summer day with no wind? Oh, go back to the nasty fossil fuel generated power. Same with winter.
Will the families of the seabirds killed by these giant guillotines be awarded some recompense?

Correction: the NJ resident will pay extra on their own electric bill, but the cost from business and industry will eventually filter down to that same resident.
The average Joe always, ALWAYS pays the freight in the end. When will we learn?
New Jersey has gone from Wonders By The Sea, to Communism Rammed up your arse.
or historically in modern times from bucolic truck farms and fresh off the boat seafood, to Wonders By The Sea, to Communism Rammed up your arse.
