Attentive Energy Two: Action Across Monmouth County October 3, 2024 📢Call to Action: Support Offshore Wind Infrastructure by Submitting Public Comments Offshore wind is a game-changer for cleaner air, good jobs, and economic growth, but it can only happen with the right infrastructure—the onshore cables and grid connections that bring it all together. The Pre-Build Infrastructure project is an important piece of offshore wind infrastructure that will connect the AE2 project via underground cables to a power generating station. BPU recently held a public meeting on the plans for Pre-Build Infrastructure and the public docket remains open for comments. This is an opportunity to show support for offshore wind and its critical infrastructure. Please take a minute and consider submitting comments in support here through October 15. Project overview and FAQs from NJ Board of Public Utilities can be found here. What’s New With AE2? Check out our new AE2 project overview video!
