Another offshore wind project in New Jersey is encountering turbulence. Leading Light Wind is asking the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to give it a pause through late December on its plan to build an offshore wind farm off the coast. The company says it is having difficulty securing a manufacturer for turbine blades for the project off Long Beach Island. Now it is currently without a supplier. Project director Wes Jacobs says Leading Light is committed to the project, but adds more time is needed to secure the blades. Almost a year ago, Danish wind giant Orsted scrapped two offshore wind farms in New Jersey, saying its plans were no longer feasible.
