# Massive Offshore Wind Farms Fisherman's Energy in New Jersey is a Bold New Step for America By Jordan M | Published 2011-02-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fishermans-energy-in-new-jersey References: [blogs.delawareonline](http://blogs.delawareonline.com/delawareinc/2011/02/16/atlantic-city-wind-farm-takes-big-step/) & [fishermensenergy](http://www.fishermensenergy.com/faq.html) Fisherman's Energy in New Jersey will be the first major [offshore wind farm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1) in the country to officially get hooked into a power grid. The remarkable thing about Fisherman's Energy in New Jersey is that it's a project owned by a group of commercial fisherman, and its two state-approved plans will see over 70 [wind turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade) to be deployed between two projects spanning across nearly 2,100 acres of federal waters. Once fully operational, the two wind farms will generate an upwards of [350 megawatts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gigawatt-solar-projects) between them, which is no small feat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Offshore Wind Energy:** The development of massive offshore wind farms presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy sector. - **Community-owned Energy Projects:** The ownership of Fisherman's Energy by a group of commercial fishermen highlights the potential for community-led initiatives in the energy industry. - **Scaling Renewable Energy Production:** The deployment of over 70 wind turbines in Fisherman's Energy's two projects demonstrates the potential for large-scale renewable energy production. ### Where This Applies - **Renewable Energy:** The establishment of offshore wind farms presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry. - **Fishing:** The involvement of commercial fishermen in Fisherman's Energy project highlights the potential for diversification and collaboration within the fishing industry. - **Power Generation:** The integration of Fisherman's Energy's wind farms into the power grid showcases the potential for renewable energy sources to contribute to the power generation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Turbine Wind Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petrofac-and-seawind-ocean-technology.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Floating Wind Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-platform.md) - [Battery-Packed Wind Farm Ships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerx.md) - [Turbine Wind Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alliant-energy.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Land Based Eel Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-unagi.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Eco Oceanic Energy Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveline-magnet-concept-design.md)
