New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and the Board of Public Utilities are pushing ahead with ambitious clean energy plans even as they face the reality of President-elect Donald Trump, a fierce skeptic of clean energy, taking office.

New Jersey in 2025 faces the added uncertainty of a likely contentious governor’s race to replace clean energy champion Gov. Phil Murphy and his release of a new energy master plan.

New Jersey has launched a stakeholder input campaign for its community solar program as the state prepares to solicit interest for 250 MW of capacity next year after two nearly fully subscribed allocations in the program’s first 12 months.

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

New Jersey has launched a yearlong process to evaluate the effectiveness of its solar net-metering system and generate possible alternatives.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities released an update to its proposed Storage Incentive Program that changes how the subsidies for utility-scale projects are determined as the state shoots for 2,000 MW of total capacity by 2030.

New Jersey approved a three-year pilot program to create 200 MW of dual-use solar capacity that puts solar panels on functioning farmland in a precursor to a permanent program.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities adopted minimum filing requirements that allow utilities to propose programs to promote the development of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle chargers.

The Clean Corridor Project will install 167 medium- and heavy-duty truck charging ports on the New Jersey Turnpike and could help alleviate trucker concerns about range.

States can reap long-term savings by upgrading their onshore grids and coordinating transmission development to serve multiple offshore wind projects, but they’ll also face higher upfront costs, supply chain challenges and ratepayer concerns, speakers at a New Jersey conference said.
