The northern part of the block was given a new lease number, OCS-A 0549, and named Atlantic Shores North by the lease owners. The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management initiated the environmental review of the Atlantic Shores North project at the beginning of last year.
The Shell-EDF joint venture also holds rights for lease area OCS-A 0541, which it won in the New York Bight auction in 2022. This lease area is currently referred to by the developer as Atlantic Shores Bight.
