Governor Phil Murphy has signed several legislative initiatives to establish New Jersey’s leadership in the clean energy economy.

Governor Murphy also signed an executive order directing the development of an updated Energy Master Plan (EMP) for the state to achieve 100% clean energy by 2050.

“Today, we’re taking another step forward in rebuilding New Jersey’s reputation as a leader in the development of clean energy sources while fulfilling a critical promise to foster our state’s energy future,” said Governor Murphy. “Signing these measures represents a down payment to the people of New Jersey on the clean energy agenda I set forth at the beginning of my administration a plan that will always consider the best interests of our residents and our environment while growing our economy.”

A-3723, the Renewable Energy bill, takes several critical steps to improve and expand New Jersey’s renewable energy programs.

In terms of offshore wind the bill codifies the Governor’s goal of 3,500MW of offshore wind by 2030. It also reinstates an expired program to provide tax credits for offshore wind manufacturing activities.

Underscoring the economic benefits of clean energy programs, Governor Murphy also announced Atlantic City Electric’s (ACE) $6.5 million Workforce Development initiative, which will provide funds to expand clean energy job training and workforce development efforts to help improve employment in ACE’s Southern New Jersey service area.

These programs will include Get Into Energy Math Test and Boot Camp; Women in Sustainable Employment (WISE)-Pathway; ACE Line School; High School Energy Career Academy, and County Driven Initiatives.

“Creating energy jobs of the future is critical to growing New Jersey’s economy,” added Governor Murphy. “I applaud Atlantic City Electric for their workforce development efforts to train the next generation to seize the opportunity of the clean energy economy. I thank Atlantic City Electric for its long-range view, and look forward to working alongside them to grow our energy economy together.”
