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.

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.
