New Jersey’s energy policy emphasizes in-state production of renewable and traditional energy sources, including off-shore wind. Our goal is to create a stronger economy by making energy more affordable, more reliable, and more often produced by New Jersey workers. We demonstrate this commitment by offering financial incentives and grants to drive both the supply and demand in the clean and renewable energy marketplace. In addition, the State offers other aggressive incentives and tax credit programs for companies located in target areas, creating new jobs, and more. This comprehensive approach, along with our strategic location and highly-educated workforce, makes New Jersey the ideal choice for locating your business. For more information, call 866-534-7789 or visit our website, The State of New Jersey.

The University of Massachusetts Wind Energy Center is a leading institution in wind energy engineering education. Since 1972 the Center has maintained extensive wind energy education programs and research projects. Offshore wind energy generation was first investigated at UMass under the program direction of Professor William Heronemus, with the first PhD awarded in 1972. Since then, UMass has been actively involved in measuring winds and ocean conditions along the Massachusetts coast, particularly at the proposed Hull offshore project. Students are involved in meteorological monitoring, structures research, mapping studies, and met-ocean characterization. |
