New Jersey Board of Public Utilities President

Joseph L. Fiordaliso passed away on September 6, after an exceptional career dedicated to public service, including 17 years at the NJBPU, serving as President the last five years.

To build upon his legacy, Governor Murphy announced Christine Guhl-Sadovy as New Jersey Board of Public Utilities President. In June 2023, Guhl-Sadovy was appointed by Governor Murphy as NJBPU Commissioner. Prior to her nomination, Guhl-Sadovy served as Cabinet Secretary as part of the Governor’s senior staff.

COMMUNITY SOLAR PROGRAM NOW PERMANENT

After the success of the pilot program, the NJBPU made theCommunity Solar Programpermanent. Since the creation of the Community Solar Pilot Program in 2018, the Board approved 150 projects totaling 243 megawatts (MW) of capacity. To date, 29 of those projects, totaling 50 MW, have reached commercial operation and provide over 6,000 New Jersey households the benefits of solar power, including financial savings.

Residents interested in subscribing to a community solar project may search the Community Solar Project Finderfor projects that serve their area. The Community Solar Program is a great option for those who rent, lack control of their roof, live in multi-family building, do not have property suitable for solar or can’t afford the cost of solar.
