New Jersey's Energy Master Plan (EMP) calls for a minimum of 1000 megawatts of offshore wind (OSW) capacity to be developed in New Jersey by 2012 and a minimum of 3000 MW of off-shore wind by 2020. In order to further the goals set by the Energy Master Plan, the Board has established a public stakeholder process to begin the development of amendments to the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) rules (N.J.A.C. 14:8-1.2) to set minimum percentages for off-shore wind energy. This working group will provide input on the RPS amendments and related questions.

Stakeholder meetings are scheduled to discuss the matter of proposed readoption of Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Rules. Please see the meeting notice.
