The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has received more than 300 applications for the Community Solar Energy Program (CSEP), totaling more than 300 MW of new capacity.
The Board opened the application window for the State’s new, permanent community solar program on November 15, with a 225 MW capacity block available for development for EY 2024, representing the first opportunity for developers to participate since establishing the CSEP.
“I am thrilled at the amount of interest we have received in the first year of our permanent community solar energy program, a major achievement for advancing our equitable clean energy transition,” says NJBPU president Christine Guhl-Sadovy. “Community solar allows those who live in low- and moderate-income communities or cannot otherwise access solar due to their location, to reap the benefits of renewable energy and save money on their bills.”
New community solar projects will be sited in all four major utility service territories, with this year’s program capacity supporting enough community solar projects to enroll about 30,000 New Jersey subscribers.
Since the governor and legislature created the Community Solar Pilot Program in 2018, the board has approved 150 projects totaling 243 MW of capacity. To date, 88 of those projects, totaling 130 MW, have reached commercial operation.
The CSEP permits community solar projects of no greater than 5 MW on rooftops, carports and canopies over impervious surfaces, contaminated sites, landfills and certain bodies of water such as water treatment reservoirs and dredge ponds. The board anticipates opening a second application period for at least an additional 225 MW in EY 2025, which begins on June 1.

As we’re all aware, humankind carries around a cognitive bias in the form of seeking out information that confirms what we already believe, and the author of the meme at left has created a textbook example.
Each line conveys a deeply misleading concept about the political left.
Having said this, we live in a time in which disinformation surrounds us at every turn. It’s an industry, just like banking, IT, and manufacturing.
My favorite: “riots and chaos.” lol
If you still think that Trump is sane and an honest servant of the American people, even after all this, you have something profoundly wrong with you.
Haven’t we all wondered about this?
Obviously, there are limits to presidential power as set forth in the U.S. Constitution, which Trump is exceeding almost every day. But can he rename the U.S. Capitol the “Donald J. Trump Capitol Building?”
He holds himself on par with Washington and Lincoln. Can he put his name on their monuments?
What Are the Limits to Presidential Power, if They Exist at All?
