The Board clarified that solar projects fall within these parameters and are necessary for energy and electricity production. All new and ongoing solar construction, including both commercial and residential projects, can move forward.
“Solar is a critical and growing contributor to energy, notably clean energy, in the state, and energy provision is an essential service,” said NJBPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso. “To eliminate any confusion, as some projects were continuing during this period and some were not, NJBPU is clarifying that all solar projects can move forward during this time.”
