New Jersey group urges federal reversal of offshore wind lease changes, calling them illegal and harmful.
Save LBI, a New Jersey environmental group, has urged the U.S. Department of Interior to void last-minute offshore wind lease changes made in late 2024 and early 2025, calling them unlawful and made without public input.
The group argues the amendments—requiring a five-year suspension before cancellation and developer compensation—violate the 2005 renewable energy section of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which only applies to oil and gas leases.
Save LBI, joined by Rhode Island’s Green Oceans, demands removal of outdated oil and gas cancellation rules and challenges the Atlantic Shores South and North wind projects, citing their unprecedented proximity to shore—less than nine miles from Long Beach Island and Atlantic City—raising environmental, social, and economic concerns.
The group plans to contribute to upcoming DOI rulemaking on offshore wind, advocating for stronger protections on marine life, lease consolidation, and turbine removal.
