Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G, Newark, N.J., U.S.) on May 11th, 2016 announced that it has filed a request with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) to extend its successful Solar 4 All program.
If approved, the extension will allow PSE&G to invest approximately USD 275 million to design and construct an additional 100 megawatts of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity on landfills and brownfields in its New Jersey electric service territory by the end of 2021.
Approval of the 100 MW extension would nearly triple the amount of landfill and brownfield solar that PSE&G will own and operate in New Jersey from 53 MW to 153 MW.
PSE&G expects that the extension would also create approximately 575 direct jobs in New Jersey during construction time.
“For the past several years our Solar 4 All program has helped to advance public policy by greatly increasing the amount of solar power in the state, and helping New Jersey reach its aggressive renewable energy goals,” said Ralph LaRossa, president and chief operating officer, PSE&G.
“If approved, the extension would build on this success by allowing us to develop additional grid connected, universal solar on dormant landfills and brownfields, which is a key component of New Jersey's Energy Master Plan.”
