New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities is asking the state’s four utilities for thoughts on how to help waive regulations and speed up the connection of distributed energy resources as it seeks to modernize its grid.

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.

Solar developers are urging the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to extend the completion timelines in the agency’s proposed storage development plan.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities approved eight solar projects in its second solicitation for grid-scale projects, nine months after declining to support any bids in the first solicitation due to cost. 

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities rejected one grid-scale solar project and supported another, as well as laying the ground work for its fourth offshore wind solicitation.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities launched its second attempt to solicit solar projects at a price the agency considers acceptable to ratepayers, driven by the hope that the high costs that derailed a similar solicitation earlier this year have subsided.

New Jersey regulators plan a new solicitation for the state’s Competitive Solar Incentive program on Oct. 1 after rejecting initial bids as too expensive.  

New Jersey regulators agreed to search for a consultant to develop a new strategic plan to guide the effort to install 11 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040.

New Jersey’s BPU approved rules for a competitive utility-scale solar incentive program designed to double the amount of solar capacity installed per year.

New Jersey regulators say a bill that would more than triple the size of a community solar program could stress an already overloaded grid.
