Attentive Energy's project would be built off Seaside Heights. It would be the farthest from shore of the seven projects to be publicly proposed for the waters off New Jersey.
Attentive Energy released new information on the project, which will be 42 miles off Seaside Heights and provide enough energy to power 600,000 homes. State regulators did not identify the company when bids were received in August — one of four received as the state pushes to become the East Coast hub of the nascent offshore wind industry.
Bednarz also said the project's turbines — the exact number of which the company has not revealed — will not be visible from the shoreline, eliminating one potential source of opposition from homeowners and residents' groups who object to the likelihood of seeing the structures on the horizon from the beach.One of the proposals made in August, from Chicago-based Invenergy and New York-based energyRE, would be built 40 miles off Long Beach Island called Leading Light Wind.
Robin Shaffer, a spokesman for one of the main offshore wind opposition groups, Ocean City-based Protect Our Coast NJ, said it doesn't matter how near or far wind farms are from the coast.
