Project
Atlantic Shores South
EnergyEpsilon is leading the state and federal permitting process for both phases of Atlantic Shores South, including the preparation of the Constructions and Operations Plan (COP).
Overview
Atlantic Shores South is the proposal by Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind LLC to develop offshore renewable wind energy facilities in Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Lease Area OCS-A 0499. At its closest point, the wind turbine area (WTA) is approximately 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) from the New Jersey shoreline. The wind lease area will cover a total area of approximately 286 square miles.
Atlantic Shores South will be developed as two projects with a maximum of 136 wind turbine generators (WTG) and up to 10 offshore substations. The lease area layout is designed to maximize offshore renewable wind energy production while minimizing effects on existing marine uses.
Contribution
Epsilon is assisting in writing the Letter of Authorization to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is responsible for monitoring and protecting marine resources.
Epsilon is leading the state and federal permitting process for both phases of Atlantic Shores South, including the preparation of the Constructions and Operations Plan (COP). The COP describes construction, operations, and decommissioning for review and approval by BOEM, the lead federal agency.
Epsilon is also providing expert air permitting and modeling services, particularly in regard to air pollution emissions from vessels involved in project construction.

Achievement
Combined, the projects will deliver a total of approximately 1,510 MW of clean energy and will help both the U.S. and New Jersey achieve their renewable energy goals, diversify the State’s electricity supply, increase electricity reliability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
