The company expected to build the largest offshore wind project ever approved in New Jersey seeks five more months to figure out whether it’s viable, punting a decision until after President-elect Donald Trump’s term has begun.
Leading Light Wind, a partnership of Invenergy and co-developer energyRe, does not know how it will generate the power the company promised to deliver to New Jersey or how much it will cost.
In September, the state Board of Public Utilities gave Leading Light Wind until Dec. 20 to come up with a plan, after the company asked the board this summer to pause its project while it shops for turbines, the engines that help turn wind into electricity. Details of that delay request were first reported by POLITICO.
But the company still doesn’t have a plan.
