This map of circuits operated by Atlantic City Electric in South Jersey was displayed by the New Jersey Solar Energy Coalition at a state Senate Energy and Environment Committee hearing to show the difficulty of connecting solar projects. Black circuits will not accept solar connections, and red circuits can accept no more than 250 kW. | Pepco Holdings
