NJ Sierra Club Applauds Gov. Sherrill

On a kitchen table in Salem County, Governor Sherrill signed three energy affordability bills. Among the bills was the nation-leading Data Center Tariff Bill, S731 (Burzichelli)/A796 (Bailey), which is critical to ensuring big tech pays their fair share.

This bill will require electric utilities to develop and apply special tariffs for large-load data centers to protect ratepayers from bearing the cost burden due to their large energy consumption and potential infrastructure upgrades.

Governor Sherrill also signed the RTO Adder Bill, S1673 (Zwicker)/A2757 (Katz), which ends the payment of millions of taxpayer dollars that NJ electric utilities have been receiving for being a part of our Regional Transmission Operator, PJM.
