S 985 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes green infrastructure financing program.

S 985 proposes a state-administered financing program to help New Jersey utility customers afford clean energy equipment like solar panels and energy-efficient upgrades. Instead of requiring large upfront payments, the program would allow customers to pay for installations through small, recurring charges added to their monthly utility bills. It specifically targets underserved households and businesses that cannot access traditional financing due to cost barriers. Administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority with oversight from the Board of Public Utilities, the program aims to expand access to affordable clean energy solutions while supporting the state's renewable energy goals.
