Lawmakers Warn BPU Chief Against Any New Subsidies to Offshore Wind

The Senate Budget Committee chairman warned the Murphy administration against asking lawmakers to back new subsidies to developers who have won contracts to build offshore wind farms.

In the committee’s final budget hearing Tuesday (5/23), Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen) said he and others on the panel have heard rumors there is going to be a request to subsidize wind projects currently under construction.
