Bill > AR93

This resolution respectfully urges the Governor of New Jersey to declare an energy generation emergency, a situation where the state's ability to produce electricity is significantly threatened or insufficient to meet demand. The resolution highlights that energy production is vital for the state's economy, security, and the well-being of its citizens. It points out that New Jersey has experienced a substantial loss of its energy generating capacity over the past eight years, transforming it from a state that exported energy to one that imports it. This shift, coupled with increasing national and state demand driven by economic development like data centers and advanced manufacturing, strains existing energy infrastructure. The resolution argues that declaring an emergency would empower the Governor to take necessary actions to boost energy transmission and generation capacity, ultimately aiming to lower energy costs for consumers and ensure energy independence and economic prosperity for New Jersey.
