SR 34 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Governor to declare energy generation emergency in New Jersey.

This Senate Resolution (SR 34) urges the Governor to declare an energy generation emergency in New Jersey. It highlights that the state has lost over 20% of its generating capacity in eight years, shifted from a net energy exporter to importer, and faces rising demand from data centers and AI that strains existing infrastructure. The resolution requests the Governor take steps to prioritize new energy infrastructure development and lower consumer energy costs. As a non-binding resolution, it directs the Governor and agencies like the Board of Public Utilities to address these energy challenges through emergency measures.
