NJ: On April 12, 2006, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved new regulations that expanded the state’s renewable portfolio standard. The BPU decision requires utilities produce 22.5 percent of their electricity from renewable sources, at least 2 percent of which must come from solar sources.  Sources of energy that count toward the remainder of the standard include solar, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, methane gas captured from a landfill, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, electricity generated by the combustion of gas from the anaerobic digestion of food waste and sewage sludge at a biomass generating facility, and hydropower.
