Projected annual energy costs for non-low-income customers of Atlantic City Electric and South Jersey Gas. Yellow boxes represent the “clean energy program costs” within the bills. [1] Keeping energy use constant at 2020 levels, annual energy cost increases by 17% relative to the 2020 customer, in real dollars. [2] EE reduces annual energy cost by 5% compared to profile 1. [3] EV adoption reduces energy costs by 15% compared to profile 2. Note: Costs do not include the investments needed to convert to an EV or heat pump.
