New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is doubling his state’s offshore wind power goal as he competes with New York and elsewhere to jump start an industry expected to create thousands of jobs.
New Jersey plans to install 7.5 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2035, up from a previous target of 3.5 gigawatts by 2030.
It will be enough for more than 3.2 million homes, or half the state’s electricity needs, Murphy said during an appearance in Jersey City with former Vice President Al Gore.
Murphy’s goal still falls short of the 9 gigawatts New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is seeking by 2035. To be sure, New York is home to more than twice as many people.
