S2936

TRENTON – The Senate today approved legislation sponsored by Senators Bob Smith and Barbara Buono that would revise the laws concerning electricity production in New Jersey to encourage expanded use of renewable energy sources.

“This puts financial incentives in place that will encourage New Jersey’s business community to install renewable energy systems,” said Senator Smith, D-Middlesex and Somerset. “In order to make solar and wind power viable options for New Jersey’s power needs, they can’t be simply the environmentally correct choice, but also the economically prudent choice.”

TRENTON – The Senate Economic Growth Committee approved legislation today sponsored by Senators Bob Smith and Barbara Buono that would revise the laws concerning electricity production in New Jersey to encourage expanded use of renewable energy sources.

“As a state, New Jersey needs to do more to rely on renewable energy sources for our electricity and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels,” said Senator Smith, D-Middlesex and Somerset. “With this bill, we provide economic incentives for both individuals and businesses to install renewable energy systems like solar panels and windmills and create a greater demand for the electricity produced by these systems.”
