October 11th 2023 (Baltimore, MD) – Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind (“Atlantic Shores”), a 50:50 partnership between Shell New Energies US LLC and EDF Renewables North America, today announced that the company has been named a finalist in the 2023 Ventus Award. The Ventus Awards are hosted by the Business Network for Offshore Wind, the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to establishing a robust offshore wind supply chain in the U.S.

Atlantic Shores has been named a finalist in the Talent Management Leadership category, which recognizes those who nurture and develop a new generation of leaders.

Atlantic Shores has three offshore wind energy lease areas totaling more than 400 square miles under active development. Atlantic Shores Project 1 is the largest awarded project in New Jersey and the third largest in the United States. When completed, Atlantic Shores Project 1 will generate more than 1,510MW of energy, which is enough to power 700,000 homes. It’s estimated to remove nearly 4 million tons of greenhouse gas annually, which is the equivalent of taking approximately 770,000 cars off the road every year.

“I continue to be amazed by the ambition and dedication of this team,” said Joris Veldhoven, CEO of Atlantic Shores. “We are powered by the passion of our unique and diverse talent, and we’ll continue to invest in our people and communities.”

Atlantic Shores contributes to the industry by attracting and retaining a diverse talent pool to work in offshore wind. The company prioritizes a work culture that values diversity, invests in and cultivates emerging leaders, and embraces innovative outreach strategies that raise awareness about offshore wind and the many career opportunities the industry brings.

The annual Ventus Awards are the industry’s highest level of professional recognition, celebrating the people, companies, organizations, and work moving the global offshore wind industry forward. Awards are presented in ten categories designed to highlight the contributions and innovations of global professionals advancing the offshore wind industry.

All finalists will be recognized, and winners will be announced on November 9th at the Ventus Gala, the offshore wind industry’s premier celebration.

Atlantic City, N.J.  Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind responded to the recent Monmouth University poll. “We must not lose sight of the fact that clean energy is urgently needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind energy is an integral part of the state’s plan, and it needs to be built. Its environmental, job, and economic benefits are real.

Being able to bring a new offshore wind industry to this state and the country is exciting – but it doesn’t come without challenges and the need to educate and engage in information sharing. We have a role to play in helping people understand offshore wind and ensuring that they have accurate information. We embrace this role and will continue to openly communicate with New Jerseyans who want to know more.

Offshore wind will bring new facilities, supply chain businesses, and jobs to the state. As a developer, we are here to support New Jersey in meeting its clean energy goals and driving economic growth within the state. Our project alone will bring power to more than 700,000 homes, generate $1.9 billion in economic activity and create 18,000 jobs.

The spreading of misinformation and lies is dangerous and doesn’t serve the people of this state who so urgently need the benefits that offshore wind will bring. It must stop.”

Immediate additional action will ensure thriving clean energy economy in New Jersey

By Joris Veldhoven, CEO of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind

Today’s bill passage reaffirms the State’s commitment to offshore wind. Yet, to establish a durable, thriving, full-scale offshore wind industry in New Jersey, we need an industry-wide solution, one that stabilizes all current projects including Atlantic Shore Project 1, the largest offshore wind project in the State of New Jersey and third largest project awarded in the United States.

In the last nine months, New Jersey has increased its offshore wind goals 50% to 11GW by 2040, while accelerating the timeline for achieving 100% clean energy fifteen years to 2035. We are pleased to see such bold, ambitious climate goals put forward. Our projects are a major part of that solution with commitments including:

• 700,000 NJ homes served clean energy
• $848 million in guaranteed local economic benefits to the state
• $1.9bn+ positive overall economic impact for New Jersey
• 4m tons of annual greenhouse gas reductions, equivalent to taking 770,000+ cars off the road.
• $200m in public health benefits as a direct result decarbonizing New Jersey’s electric grid, with a significant uplift to air quality and public health in overburdened communities (OBCs).

Tens of thousands of real, well-paid and unionized jobs are at risk. Hundreds of millions in infrastructure investments will be forgone without a path forward.

And while the current bill provides uplift for our manufacturing partner EEW-AOS at the Port of Paulsboro, and we remain confident that EEW-AOS will be prepared to start manufacturing monopiles for Atlantic Shores Project 1, we need immediate action that also supports the Atlantic Shores Project 1 to keep these commitments within reach.

Atlantic Shores is living proof of New Jersey’s thriving clean energy economy and just transition that improves the quality of life for those who need it the most.

Joris Veldhoven is the CEO of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind.
