First 100 Days Trump: Executive order forces New Jersey to cancel its first offshore wind farm
New Jersey governor asks Trump to help him ‘promote energy security’

President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, suggested his incoming administration could consider a policy ‘where no windmills are being built.’
President Donald Trump’s executive order banning offshore wind projects has brought New Jersey’s first offshore wind project to a standstill. Federal permitting uncertainty and Shell pulling back on clean energy halted negotiations, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities said.
Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president of New Jersey BPU, said Monday it would “not be a responsible decision at this time” to award New Jersey’s fourth offshore wind solicitation, effectively pausing offshore wind projects in the state.
An executive order signed by Trump on his first day back in the Oval Office banned offshore wind leasing and called for a review of the federal government’s permitting practices for wind projects.
Yet, New Jersey remains committed to offshore wind development to “achieve energy independence,” Guhl-Sadovy said in a statement.
