New Jersey’s legislator passed two bills yesterday that will increase solar deployment across the state, sending them to the desk of democratic governor Phil Murphy.
Bill S2605 incentivises 1.5GW of behind-the-meter solar facilities through the SREC-II programme at the Board of Public Utilities (BPU), as well as 750MW of community solar by 2026.
It also aims to incentivise a minimum of 1.5GW of utility-scale projects by 2026 and seeks to develop siting criteria for large scale solar projects.
