Area towns support community solar projects
Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Clean Energy Act of 2018, directing the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to establish a community solar program.
This allows commercial real estate owners to rent their roof space to house solar facilities that power their community.
The state is currently in the second year of a three-year pilot program as it moves toward its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050.
Middlesex County towns have been showing support for community solar projects.
Murphy visited the 4PX Express/Duke Realty Solar Warehouse in Perth Amboy on Jan. 28 in a show of commitment to transforming to a clean economy and investing in green, good paying jobs in the state.
