A New Jersey Board of Public Utilities order issued on Wednesday sets the stage for the state’s utilities to implement far more ambitious energy efficiency programs that help households and businesses reduce energy costs.

“This order is a big win for ratepayers and the climate, because it will help cut utility bills and heat-trapping carbon emissions,” said Rachel Gold, utilities program director at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). “Now it’s up to the utilities and the New Jersey Division of Clean Energy to get the job done and deliver results.”

“The order is also great news for economic development in the state during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for the many small businesses that deliver energy efficiency services to families and other companies,” said Gold.
