SEIA statement on New Jersey Flexible Solar Spending Cap: “SEIA thanks Governor Murphy for signing this important bill into law. The changes will give the BPU more flexibility in calculating the yearly cost caps, allow for a higher transitional incentive as the current Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) trading program closes, and set the stage for a smooth transition to a long-term incentive program for solar. We appreciate Governor Murphy’s commitment to maintaining a strong solar industry in the Garden State and commend the New Jersey Legislature for their work on this critical matter.” Source: SEIA
