Continue efforts to reform the regional grid operator PJM to speed up resource-interconnection timelines for clean-energy generation and storage, require long-term transmission planning, and consider energy reliability through additional factors.
First 100 Days
Prioritize projects to modernize New Jersey’s electric distribution system, such as integrating energy storage systems, increasing the capacity of the system to interconnect with distributed energy
resources, and improving the resilience of the system against hazards associated with climate change. (See Senate Bill No. 258 of the 2024 – 2025 legislative session.)
First 100 Days
Require any new data centers to power themselves with renewable energy, combined with battery storage, that does not take existing renewable energy of the public grid. (See Assembly Bill No. 5564 / Senate Bill No. 4143 of the 2024 - 2025 legislative session.)
First Year
Increase the amount of New Jersey solar generation to maximize greenhouse gas-emission reductions and achieve cost-effective local benefits through prioritizing community solar, solar-ready residential development, and coupling with battery storage.
First Year
Create an Office of Just Transition to maximize in-state job growth, create jobs in the clean-energy economy, and ensure an equitable transition to clean energy.
First Year
Develop administrative procedures and regulations to implement a Clean Energy Standard (CES) for New Jersey, pending legislation which will require that 100 percent of all electricity sold be from clean electricity by 2035.
First Year
Continue efforts and participation under the Research and Monitoring Initiative and the Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative for Offshore Wind, which support regional research and monitoring of marine and coastal resources during offshore wind development, construction, operation, and decommissioning.
First Term
Monitor and enforce provisions of the Second Triennium Energy filings from the state’s utilities for demand response programs.
First Term
Continue the regular adaptive offshore wind solicitation and review process to create a pipeline of projects to meet New Jersey’s clean-energy goals.
First Term
