New Jersey’s state agencies were directed to prepare the Draft 2019 Energy Master Plan (EMP) under an executive order signed by Governor Phil Murphy in May 2018 alongside legislation establishing the state’s Zero Emissions Certificate (ZEC) programme. The plan has been drawn up under the leadership of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), in collaboration with the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Transportation, Economic Development Authority and Department of Community Affairs.
