Mikie Sherrill at Nuclear Power Plant

“For costs to come down, we need more energy supply. New Jersey is well-positioned to be a leader in next-generation nuclear energy to help bring that supply, and we are open for business,” Governor Mikie Sherrill.

What they are saying ...

“Expanding the energy supply is one of the more impactful steps we can take to help bring utility costs under control. As energy expenses increase and the demand for affordable electricity grows, it’s important that we have all options on the table. Nuclear power is a clean, reliable source of power that can improve energy security and affordability,” Senate President Nicholas Scutari

"Our regional power grid is under strain from surging demand and limited new supply. Expanding nuclear power is part of a long-term, comprehensive solution for closing the gap between supply and demand that has driven up utility costs for businesses and residents," New Jersey Business & Industry President & CEO Michele Siekerka 

"Time and again during her first month in office, Governor Sherrill has taken bold steps to expand power generation in New Jersey. This bill removes the red tape and says New Jersey is open for business for nuclear energy and IBEW applauds the governor's continued leadership because we know more power means lower bills for New Jersey residents,” Joseph Egan, New Jersey State Electrical Workers Construction Division Association President
