We at Atlantic Shores are deeply saddened by the loss of Congressman Bill Pascrell, a true giant in the fight for a greener future. His unwavering commitment to the environment and renewable energy, particularly as a lead sponsor of the Offshore Wind Power Act, has left an indelible mark on our industry and beyond. Congressman Pascrell’s visionary leadership was instrumental in advancing offshore wind power, and his passion for New Jersey’s clean energy future will forever inspire us. Though his loss leaves a profound void, we are committed to honoring his legacy by continuing the work he so fiercely championed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his dedicated staff, and all those who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be sorely missed, but his impact will continue to resonate for generations to come.

We are celebrating American Clean Power Week #PowerTheEconomy Wind turbine technician is the fastest-growing job in the United States according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Clean energy is powering our economy and building the careers of the future. #ACPW24 #PowerTheEconomy bit.ly/ACPW24

Meet Atlantic Shores’ People Behind Our Projects.  Atlantic City is known for its casino industry, but bringing a new industry and new opportunities to the region is more than just a professional goal for Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind’s Roberto Polanco—it's personal. Roberto is an electrical engineer and an Atlantic County native. “Growing up, all I knew was casinos because that's where my parents and most of our friends worked. They spent their entire lives working there and actually still do today,” said Roberto. “Atlantic City relies heavily on casinos, and while they are good businesses, depending solely on one industry isn’t healthy for any economy or local community so it’s important to have a new industry like Atlantic Shores come into the area.”     One of Atlantic Shores’ core values is to be a good neighbor. That’s why Roberto participates in events like OffshoreWind4Kids, a hands-on STEM (Science, Technology Engineering, and Math) learning experience sponsored by Atlantic Shores that uses model wind turbines to teach students about renewable energy.    “Growing up in the area, I didn't know all the opportunities that there were in the utility or the electrical field or about engineering in general,” said Roberto. “Today, I enjoy being able to advocate for STEM and teach children about what’s available for careers and professional trades.”    He also encourages other young people to consider a career in renewable energy. “It’s a very stable industry. We are working to address climate change so there will be a continuous flow of jobs coming within this industry.”     And for those not interested in engineering, Roberto works to tell people about additional opportunities Atlantic Shores will bring to New Jersey including those for carpenters, plumbers, and electricians. He said, "It's great to work in the same area where I grew up and know that I'm making a positive impact on the community. We're addressing environmental issues and bringing much-needed jobs to the Atlantic City area." Roberto is thrilled to work for Atlantic Shores, a company that is not only bringing clean power but also creating jobs in the community where he grew up, attended local schools, played youth sports, and continues to live today.
