List of power stations in New Jersey
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of New Jersey, sorted by type and name. In 2019, New Jersey had a total summer capacity of 17,267 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 71,019 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 57.2% natural gas, 37.4% nuclear, 1.6% solar, 1.5% coal, 1.1% biomass, 0.9% non-biogenic waste, and 0.1% hydroelectric & wind.[1]
New Jersey's renewable portfolio standard was updated in 2018 to require that 21% of electricity be from renewable sources by 2021, 35% by 2025, and 50% by 2030.[3] About 75% of renewable generation came from small- and large-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) that year.[4] Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned PV panels, delivered an additional net 2,193 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid during 2019. This was nearly twice the generation of New Jersey's utility-scale PV plants.[1]
Nuclear power stations[]
There are two nuclear power stations in New Jersey both operated by PSEG Nuclear.[5] The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Lacey Township owned and operated by Oyster Creek Environmental Protection permanently ceased operations on September 17, 2018.
