State studies how to fund next round of clean energy programs
The state is beginning to examine how to fund clean energy programs over a four-year period beginning in 2013, a decision that could dramatically reshape New Jersey’s aggressive policies to reduce energy consumption and to promote cleaner sources of electricity, such as solar and wind.
At a time when there are many unanswered questions about the future of the state’s energy policy, the Office of Clean Energy is asking industry executives, utility officials, and clean energy advocates to comment and to respond to 39 questions dealing with energy efficiency, renewable energy, and perhaps most importantly, how and what level of funding should come from ratepayers.
