New Jersey Clean Energy Corridor

Through a competitive solicitation process, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), in coordination with regional grid operator PJM Interconnection (PJM), awarded Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) several onshore transmission upgrade projects utilizing existing rights-of-way (ROW). These projects are collectively referred to as the New Jersey Clean Energy Corridor (NJCEC) by JCP&L.

The projects were carefully designed to maximize existing grid infrastructure and minimize disruption to the way New Jersey residents live and enjoy their communities. JCP&L will use approximately 40 miles of existing power line corridors for the upgrades, and the projects will not require any new construction on undeveloped land outside of JCP&L’s owned property or existing ROW.

Through its NJCEC projects, JCP&L is helping modernize New Jersey’s energy grid by upgrading existing high-voltage transmission infrastructure and enabling the state to handle the growing demand for electricity now and for years to come. The work will enhance JCP&L’s ability to deliver power efficiently and reliably and connect new sources of clean, renewable energy to the grid.
