Foreign Firm to Begin Offshore Wind Farm Construction at NJ State Park as Public Support Collapse

The Danish company Ørsted is scheduled to begin construction of its controversial Ocean Wind 1 offshore power complex next week at Island Beach State Park, one of New Jersey’s most popular family beach destinations, as surveys show a dramatic decline in support for “green” offshore wind projects statewide.

A poll published this week by Stockton University found that about half of New Jersey residents support offshore wind development. In 2019, that number was 80 percent. Active opposition to offshore wind development more than doubled from 15 percent in 2019 to 33 percent.

Along the Shore, support has dwindled further: from 77 percent in 2019 to 33 percent this week.
