New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has agreed to accept a $125 million settlement from Denmark’s Ørsted, the offshore wind company that canceled two massive wind farms off the state’s coast last year.

The state also announced it will suspend its request for independent transmission projects for offshore wind due to a federal rule that could determine how to fund upgrades to regional power grids.
