In April 2017, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy—then running for office—promised to target construction of 3.5 gigawatts of offshore wind power capacity by 2030—enough to power 1.5 million New Jersey homes. That particular piece was part of a broader strategy for the state to achieve 100-percent clean energy by 2050.
Earlier this month South Field Energy, a division of Advanced Power Service, awarded Bechtel Corporation a $1.3 billion contract to build the South Field Energy facility in Columbiana County, Ohio.
