The RPS bill includes a 2 gigawatt energy storage target and
sets higher goals for solar. The nuclear bill includes a lot of controversy.
The New Jersey state legislature passed three bills on
Thursday that are designed to maintain and enhance access to low-carbon
resources in the Garden State.
One piece of legislation (A3723/S2314)
boosts New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standard to 35 percent by 2025 and 50
percent by 2030 — putting the state in line with clean energy leaders, New
York and California. The same bill also increases New Jersey’s solartarget,
enables the launch of a community solar program and establishes a process to
deploy 2 gigawatts of energy storage by 2030.
