FOLSOM, NJ, April 19, 2021
– SJI (NYSE: SJI) announces a comprehensive clean energy plan, including a timeline to achieve carbon-neutral operations, as part of a commitment to sustainability.
In 2020, SJI formed a Clean Energy and Sustainability team with the ambitious goal of achieving operational carbon neutrality by the year 2040. Through a new series of sustainability initiatives, SJI plans to reach that goal by eliminating its own carbon footprint and significantly reducing its 700,000+ utility customers fossil fuel consumption.
SJI has set forth benchmarks to achieve a 70% carbon reduction of operational emissions and consumption by the year 2030 and 100% reduction by 2040. Moving forward, SJI is committing at least 25% of annual capital expenditures on sustainability projects.

Bloom Energy is deploying more than 40 megawatts of fuel cell production in the Northeast through a series of agreements under a Community Distributed Generation (CDG) program.The initial projects are in the New York City metro area.
Bloom operates a production plant at the University of Delaware Star Campus in Newark.
The current program gives incentives to developers to install clean power generation within the grid distribution network to alleviate stress on the electric grid, decrease harmful greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, reduce costs, and enhance energy reliability, a release stated.
The New York area is prone to grid and outage issues, due in part to a high population per square mile and aging infrastructure.

The current CDG program incentivizes developers to install clean power generation within the grid distribution network to alleviate stress on the electric grid, decrease harmful greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, reduce costs, and enhance energy reliability. Consumers, meanwhile, can purchase cleaner, more affordable and resilient power.
CDG customers will receive utility bill credits for using power produced by Bloom s Energy Servers. Customers - particularly small businesses with smaller loads and residential customers - will now have greater choice and access to cost-effective and more resilient energy sources. Utilities benefit from increased grid resiliency and lower transmission and distribution infrastructure outlays, as the power generation system is located within the distribution infrastructure.
