The Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm in Atlantic City, New Jersey is the first coastal wind farm in the United States and the first wind farm in New Jersey. It became operational in March 2006[1] and consists of five 1.5 MW turbines built by General Electric. Each wind turbine reaches a height of 380 feet (120 m).[2][3]

The wind farm is located onshore at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) Wastewater Treatment Plant on U.S. Route 30 and is visible from highways approaching Atlantic City. The treatment plant uses approximately 50% of the wind-generated capacity from the wind turbines, providing about 60% of the wastewater plant's electricity needs, with the remaining energy being provided to the main power grid for resale as premium renewable electricity.

As usual you’re incorrect .
Those are the inland turbines , not the offshore


The heights are right on the lease pages , and I posted it , but it’s tough to read because this sites pictures are so antiquated.

For the 20 meg units

Center motor assembly is 574.2’
Blades are 452.8 feet
Max height is 1046.6’
Blades will come to 74.1 feet at MLW.
