NJEDA CEO Tim Sullivan Statement on the New Jersey Wind Port
TRENTON, N.J. (February 3, 2025) – New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan released the following statement today regarding the New Jersey Wind Port:
“In light of the significant uncertainties in the offshore wind market, we have decided to accelerate our strategic review of options and alternatives for the New Jersey Wind Port. While recent developments at the federal level and announcements from offshore wind developers are deeply disappointing, they were not unexpected. We have taken a cautious approach to further development of the port since 2023, and we have worked to identify alternative uses that would maximize the economic development, job creation, and financial potential of the site for the State.
“We remain believers in the long-term potential of offshore wind for New Jersey, but our role as stewards of taxpayer resources requires us to evaluate all of our options. We will continue to provide further updates as this evolves.”
