New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy set the state on track to develop 3.5 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, the largest target among East Coast states seeking to add the renewable resource.
Murphy, a Democrat who took office earlier this month, asked regulators to solicit 1.1 gigawatts of offshore wind, according to an executive order signed Wednesday. The order also asks state officials to develop a plan that includes job growth, workforce development, data collection and environmental protections.
