New Jersey LCV Applauds Governor Sherrill’s Day-One Executive Actions to Lower Energy Costs and Accelerate Clean Energy
On her first day in office, Governor Mikie Sherrill signed a comprehensive package of executive orders aimed at providing immediate financial relief to New Jersey families and modernizing the state’s energy grid. The actions include a day-one energy price freeze and new directives to fast-track renewable energy deployment and grid efficiency.
Allison McLeod, Interim Executive Director of the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, released the following statement:
Governor Sherrill is wasting no time in delivering on her promise to make New Jersey more affordable for New Jersey’s working families. By taking strong executive actions on her first day, she is taking a holistic approach to the energy crisis: providing an immediate rate freeze for families while simultaneously clearing the path for the long-term clean energy solutions that will permanently lower rates.
We are particularly encouraged by the Governor’s actions to speed the development of solar energy and battery storage. These are two of the fastest, most affordable tools we have to bring energy online and stabilize our grid. While taking some pragmatic steps to lower emissions and increase efficiencies in the near term with our existing fleet, New Jersey is continuing to lay the groundwork for a truly clean energy future.
We look forward to working closely with the Governor to build on this momentum. We know clean energy like solar is the cheapest form of energy available, the fastest to deploy and can create high-quality, local union jobs right here in our communities. Today’s actions prove that we can protect our environment and the pocketbooks of working families at the same time.
