New Jersey would obtain all of its electricity from clean energy by 2035 under a new bill that aims to accelerate the state’s shift away from fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The legislation (S-2978), called the New Jersey Clean Energy Act of 2023, would establish a 100% clean electricity standard to ensure the state relies on clean and emission-free power to meet its electricity needs.
