Atlantic Shores is comprised of purpose-driven professionals dedicated to delivering its 5+ gigawatt offshore wind portfolio, strategically positioned to meet the growing demands of multiple east coast markets including New Jersey and New York.
Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, LLC (Atlantic Shores) is a 50:50 joint venture partnership between Shell New Energies US LLC and EDF-RE Offshore Development, LLC (a subsidiary of EDF Renewables North America).
At Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, we’re more than a renewable energy company. We’re a team of purpose-driven professionals committed to providing a cleaner and healthier future for generations to come.
We’re guided by four core values that our team lives and breathes each day:
If we can’t do our jobs safely, we can’t do them well. We prioritize the safety of our teams on the job, as well as the safety of our communities.
We interact and engage with the communities we serve to understand their point of view and bring their perspectives to the work we do.
We make sure our energy solutions are in harmony with the environment and nature around us.
Data speaks the truth. Using science to inform our decisions makes us more environmentally and socially responsible.
Atlantic Shores has three offshore wind energy lease areas totaling more than 400 square miles under active development.
Our first two lease areas (OCS A-0499 and OCS A-0549) are located approximately 10-20 miles off the coast of southern New Jersey between Atlantic City and Barnegat Light, and the third lease area (OCS A-541) is located further offshore in the New York Bight.
Atlantic Shores also plans to build an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) facility based in Atlantic City, NJ.
Atlantic Shores Project 1 is the largest offshore wind project in the State of New Jersey and third largest project awarded in the United States. We estimate starting construction in 2024 and the project is expected to deliver its first power in 2027.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) awarded Atlantic Shores an Offshore Renewable Energy Credit (OREC) allowance to deliver 1,510 megawatts (MW) of offshore renewable energy into the State of New Jersey in Project 1.
Atlantic Shores Project 1 will generate enough clean energy to power more than 700,000 homes and create tens of thousands of jobs throughout its lifecycle. The remaining project areas in our offshore wind portfolio will produce an estimated 3,500-4,000 MW which is enough clean energy capacity to power an additional 2 million homes.
Clean energy from Atlantic Shores Project 1 will reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 4 million tons every year, roughly the equivalent of taking 770,000+ cars off the road.
Atlantic Shores Project 1 will contribute nearly $1.9 billion in total economic impact to New Jersey, with a guaranteed $848 million in local direct investment. Collectively, Atlantic Shores Projects 1 & 2 are expected to directly create more than 22,290 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs, indirectly create more than 11,810 FTEs, and induce another nearly 15,000 full-time jobs.
