The 2019 EMP focuses on putting New Jersey on a path to achieve 100 percent clean energy by 2050, growing New Jersey’s clean energy economy, ensuring reliability and affordability for all customers, reducing the state’s carbon footprint, and advancing new technologies for all New Jersey residents.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) serves as the lead agency and is tasked with the development and oversight of the State’s EMP Committee. To achieve Governor Murphy’s ambitious energy goals, the EMP Committee is organized into five work groups: Clean and Renewable Energy; Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure; Reducing Energy Consumption; Clean and Reliable Transportation; and Building a Modern Grid.
