NJ Requires Utilities to use Solar Energy
This press release from the NJ State Board of Public Utilities details an doubling in required use of renewable energy and a new requirement that some of it come from solar power.
Basically, 4 percent of a utility’s power (up from 2 percent) must be from renewable sources. This new rule mandates that 90 megawatts of NJ electric power come from solar energy.
Here’s another article from SolarAccess.com that talks about the changes. (Apologies if it’s expired – they do that for non-paying customers after 14 days.)
An article in today’s Trenton Times (couldn’t find it online) talks about how small businesses and households can get a renewable energy credit, which can be sold to a utility to allow them to meet their requirement. This could reduce our project costs, so I’ll be digging to find out more about that and will report more when I have it.
