The project sponsor submitted an updated Construction and Operations Plan (COP) to BOEM on September 29, 2025. On October 1, 2025 the government shut down through November 12, 2025, impacting BOEM’s ability to review the COP submission. In addition, multiple comments were not addressed by the project sponsor in their September 29, 2025 COP submission and the project sponsor indicated that the Underwater Acoustic Assessment, Historic Resources Visual Effects Assessment, and Seascape and Landscape Visual Impact Assessment and associated COP updates would be submitted later in time.
BOEM expects a third and fourth COP submission prior to BOEM’s issuance of an NOI. Therefore, BOEM is shifting the completion of the Agency Review of Updated Application for Consistency with NOI Checklist milestone from November 28, 2025 to February 2, 2026 and completion of the Applicant Submits Updated Application for Consistency with the NOI Checklist from December 5, 2025 to May 28, 2027, which affects the rest of the NEPA schedule and NMFS milestones were revised accordingly.

Description:
Attentive Energy LLC proposes to develop an offshore renewable wind energy facility to generate 1,545 megawatts of energy in the western portion of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s Lease Area Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)-A 0538. OCS-A 0538 is located approximately 68 kilometers (36 nautical miles) offshore from the nearest shoreline point in New Jersey and 87 kilometers (47 nautical miles) from the nearest shoreline point in New York. The wind energy facility would include wind turbine generators, foundations, inter-array cables, and one offshore substation with capacity for an offshore transmission network or one offshore substation and a stand-alone offshore transmission network platform with an independent foundation, offshore export cable, onshore export cables, and an onshore converter station to connect to the Larrabee Collector Station, a substation in Howell Township, New Jersey.
