The action marks the largest single-state offshore wind solicitation in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The order occurred shortly after Governor Phil Murphy called on the board to open two additional 1,200-megawatt solicitations of offshore capacity\u2014one in 2020 and the other in 2022. These measures set the way toward meeting the state\u2019s goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/ramboll-to-lead-new-jerseys-osw-strategic-plan\/\">3,500 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030<\/a> and couple with the Governor\u2019s plan to transform New Jersey into a 100 percent clean energy state by 2050.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn the span of just nine months, New Jersey has vaulted to the front of the pack in establishing this cutting-edge industry,\u201d<\/em> Governor Murphy said in prepared remarks. <em>\u201cWe campaigned on rebuilding New Jersey\u2019s reputation as a clean energy leader and that involves setting an aggressive timetable on offshore wind.\u201d &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Tax credits set deadline<\/h2>\n<p>Developers seeking to build offshore wind facilities in federal waters have until Dec. 28, 2018, to submit applications. The Board intends to act on them by July 1, 2019, which should provide sufficient time for developers to qualify for federal investment tax credits that expire at the end of next year. These credits could save New Jersey ratepayers about 12 percent of the total project cost.<\/p>\n<p>To help developers calculate net economic benefits, NJBPU has issued a guidance document as part of the release of the board order. The document, created with consistent input from the public, also includes evaluation criteria and the solicitation schedule. In addition, as part of New Jersey\u2019s offshore wind program, NJBPU proposed a rule at its July meeting that would enact on Offshore Wind Energy Certificate (OREC) Funding Mechanism that establishes how an offshore wind project is funded and how revenues earned from the project would flow back to ratepayers. The OREC rule proposal will accept public comments until Oct. 19, 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state is working toward 1,100 megawatts of offshore wind capacity to start construction before the federal tax credits expire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004266754,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21748,21742,10,21786],"tags":[42134,42131,40826],"class_list":["post-1004266751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrial","category-latest","category-northeast","category-sustainability","tag-governor-phil-murphy","tag-new-jersey-board-of-public-utilities","tag-wind-power"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
