Brookfield Asset Management has won a bid to complete two nuclear reactors in South Carolina, halted in 2017, with plans to ensure no additional costs for ratepayers and potential power sales to data centers, marking a significant step in the U.S. nuclear revival.
Attentive Energy, a New York-based development company, has released new information on its proposed wind energy project off the coast of New Jersey. The project, located 42 miles off Seaside Heights, aims to provide enough energy to power 600,000 homes. The company believes its site has the best positioning in terms of wind resources and assures that the turbines will not be visible from the shoreline. The state has received bids from other companies for offshore wind projects, as it aims to become the East Coast hub for the industry. Opposition to offshore wind development has been raised by homeowners and residents' groups, citing environmental and economic concerns. Attentive Energy is also pursuing another offshore wind project in New York.
