2017 Solar Proceeding

On September 22, 2017 the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (Board) directed staff to open a proceeding to review the state of the solar market in New Jersey and, in doing so, to solicit input from all stakeholders in the solar industry culminating in public hearings to be held across the Garden State. The Board directed staff to convene all interested parties to participate in a generic proceeding to review the state of the solar market and to develop a list of topic areas and questions upon which the stakeholders should provide written or oral comment. The attached comments were submitted.

The initial webinar was held on October 27 to discuss the context for the stakeholder proceeding, current state of the NJ solar market, and proposed questions for stakeholders to address in public hearings. A second webinar was held on November 9 during the Renewable Energy Stakeholder meeting. Public hearings were held December 4, 5 and 8. Questions for Stakeholders to Address were issued with comments due December 15, 2017.

Solar Transition

Solar Transition 2006 - 2012

Solar Transition refers to the BPU’s efforts to change the state’s solar incentive from a rebate-based program funded through the Societal Benefits Charge to a market-based program relying primarily on the value of the Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs).

The documents below represent the significant reports, studies, white papers, straw proposals, comments, Board Orders and other public records related to the Solar Transition.  They are listed in reverse chronological order from the inception of the Solar Transition in 2006 through 2012.
