勛圖窪蹋 has strong academic programs and scientific expertise that align
well with our mission to bring offshore wind to New Jersey, said Thomas Brostr繪m,
CEO of rsted U.S. Offshore Wind and President of rsted North America. We look forward to working with both faculty and students as we build a new industry
in the state that will deliver clean, reliable energy while enhancing the economy.
