Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project 1, LLC (Atlantic Shores Project 1), a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, LLC (Atlantic Shores), a 50:50 partnership between EDF-RE Offshore Development, LLC and Shell New Enegies US LLC,  recently announced that it has selected Ramboll as the design and structural engineering firm for the turbine foundations on its 1.5 GW offshore wind project.

Ramboll is a global leader in the design of offshore wind turbine foundations and will contribute its years of knowledge and experience in the offshore wind industry to the design of wind turbine foundations for Atlantic Shores 1.

The project, located approximately 10-20 miles from the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey, will generate enough clean energy to power more than 700,000 homes and bring $848 million (just over €854 million) in guaranteed local economic benefits to the state.

Rain Byars, Technical & Delivery Director for Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, stated: "Atlantic Shores Project 1 is thrilled to partner with Ramboll on our foundation design and helping us set industry benchmarks for safety, reliability and efficiency. Ramboll is the right choice to perform this critical work as Atlantic Shores literally lays the foundation for New Jersey's clean energy transition.

"With our recent announcement of Vestas as preferred turbine supplier, adding the expertise and experience of Ramboll to our 1.5 GW offshore wind project is yet another vote of confidence in Atlantic Shores Project 1 and Atlantic Shores' entire 5+ GW portfolio."

Ramboll's involvement with the project will accelerate the deployment of offshore wind resources and support New Jersey's thriving clean energy economy by creating jobs and local employment opportunities throughout the entirety of the project.

Tim Fischer, Global Senior Direct of Wind for Ramboll, said: "We are proud to partner with Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind on the design of its turbine foundations and support New Jersey in reaching its offshore wind development targets.

"With a local presence of more than 2,000 staff across the US and from our recently expanded offices in Princeton, Ramboll is well-positioned to contribute its industry knowledge to the local clean tech sector and help New Jersey achieve its ambitious climate goals."
