NJ RENEWABLE ELECTRIC
PRICES
The table summarizes 100% renewable electricity available in NJ to JCP&L residential customers in zipcode 07748 and business customers in zipcode 07733 (data as of 3/25/2017). Customers of other electric companies (Atlantic Electric, PSE&G,…) should use the suppliers’ websites to determine their own pricing and savngs.
This table is a snapshot substitute for a former US Dept of Energy site which listed suppliers of renewable electricity. In early 2017, this US DOE website was removed and not replaced. No other complete list of renewable suppliers has been located.
Prices are in cents per kilowatt-hours, and should be compared to JCP&L “Price to Compare” – 10.11 cents per kwh for residences and 9.88 c/kwh for business (as of 3/16/2017). Price to Compare is explained in the “Messages” section of the JCP&L bill. The top 4 suppliers in this list will each save a residential customer 1.1 to 1.4 cents/kwh, save a small business about 2 cents/kwh, and release very little carbon pollution which accelerates climate change.
