The US Department of the Interior has approved the 2.8 GW Atlantic Shores South offshore wind energy project in New Jersey (United States). The Atlantic Shores South wind project is being developed by a 50:50 partnership between Shell and EDF and is located about 14 km off New Jersey. The project consists of two facilities, the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Projects 1 and 2, rated 1.5 GW and 1.3 GW, respectively. They are expected to generate enough to power close to 1 million homes with renewable energy through up to 200 total wind turbine generators and up to 10 offshore substations with subsea transmission cables potentially making landfall in Atlantic City and Sea Girt, New Jersey.

The US has approved more than 13 GW of clean energy capacity from offshore wind energy projects, enough to power nearly 5 million homes. The State of New Jersey aims to achieve 100% clean energy by 2035, with 11 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040.
