Ørsted scraps New Jersey offshore wind farms, dealing blow to clean energy goals

Danish company Ørsted canceled plans for 2 offshore wind farms in New Jersey.

The farms were slated to be New Jersey's first offshore wind projects.

This is a blow to Gov. Murphy's clean energy goals.

Environmentalists are stunned as they supported offshore wind as an energy alternative.

The farms were expected to be operational between 2025-2026.
