US District Judge Jia Cobb granted BOEM's request to reconsider the construction permits for EDF's up-to 2.8 GW Atlantic Shores project off New Jersey, ruling the agency had discretion to reconsider and that remand would not prejudice the developer. The case stems from a challenge by Save Long Beach Island, a New Jersey-based anti-wind group, to BOEM's approval first issued under the Biden administration. The Trump-era BOEM supported the challenge and asked to review its own permit; the group's president, Bob Stern, welcomed the remand.
