Opponents Sue To Stop Subsidies For Orsted

Opponents of Ocean Wind 1, the wind farm planned off the coast of Cape May and Atlantic counties, filed suit to block federal subsidies from going to Ă˜rsted, the Danish company behind the project. The Ocean City Sentinel reports Protect Our Coast NJ and Defend Brigantine Beach, and three Ocean City residents filed the suit, arguing subsidies from the New Jersey Legislature are an “unconstitutional state giveaway. The suit was filed in Superior Court in Trenton to stop almost a billion dollars in federal tax credits given to the company.
