New Jersey is evaluating a request by two solar companies to change state rules to allow out-of-state solar electricity generators to receive renewable energy certificates.

Two laws signed by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy aim to dramatically expand the state’s community solar and storage incentive programs as the state searches for new generation sources to help meet a predicted energy shortfall.

Anger over a recent dramatic rate hike and fears of energy shortfalls because of a predicted future rise in demand have prompted New Jersey to look anew at whether the state should consider pulling out of PJM.

New Jersey launched the first phase of a new storage incentive program, aiming to develop capacity of 1,000 MW of transmission scale projects.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has approved new grid modernization rules the agency says will make the process of launching new distributed sources easier and faster.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities backed measures to keep on track one of its three remaining offshore wind projects and retool a large-scale solar incentive program.

New Jersey lawmakers pushed back on the state’s all-electricity, clean-energy strategy at a heated committee hearing, urging an all-the-above approach as PJM faced criticism for failing to foresee a dramatic hike in demand.

Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, has a lot to do and little time to do it in.

Gov. Phil Murphy called offshore wind a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to build a new industry and create jobs, but said he supported the BPU’s decision.
