How much energy can the off shore wind resource generate?
A. Based on the Atlantic Renewable Energy Corp. Feasibility Report dated May 2004, accounting for areas that would be excluded because of conflicting concerns, an area mostly beyond 3 miles offshore in up to 100 feet of water encompassing 1,223 square miles stretching 75 mile from Seaside Hts./Park to Cape May could be conditionally viable. At densities of 20 MW per sq mile, each MW of installed capacity could produce 3,000 MWh per year while occupying less than 0.01% of the seabed in the project area.
