New Jersey’s plan to create a wind port that will serve as a hub for the East Coast got a boost from applications by prominent offshore wind players.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities selected 105 projects totaling 165 MW in the second phase of its Community Solar Energy Pilot Program.

Growing solar and offshore wind generation requires modernization of New Jersey’s distribution interconnection process, the BPU said, kicking off a study.

Elizabeth Yeampierre with the Climate Justice Alliance says environmental justice communities need to be allowed to speak for themselves on offshore wind.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities will launch a permanent community solar program next year, targeting installations of up to 150 MW a year.

PJM received 79 proposals addressing both the onshore and offshore demands of N.J.’s ambitious OSW program as part of the RTO’s “state agreement approach."

Solar developers say New Jersey's delay in announcing the winners of the second community solar pilot program is causing some to lose faith in the initiative.

Stakeholders criticized New Jersey’s proposal for incentivizing MHD electric truck charging stations for favoring those that are publicly accessible.
