Description
Description | Governor Mikie Sherrill signed executive orders to declare a state of emergency and freeze utility rate increases in New Jersey to combat soaring electricity bills. The administration has paused requests from utility companies to increase rates, extended bill credits to offset increases in electricity supply costs, and is exploring new power sources including solar, battery storage, nuclear, and natural gas to expand the state's energy supply and eventually reduce bills. The administration is also looking to rework the profit model for New Jersey's four regulated utilities and has launched six solar and battery storage projects, expanded the Community Solar Energy Program, and signed a law to end a moratorium on new nuclear power plants, currently seeking a plant site. |
