New Jersey and RGGI Potential Benefits of Renewed Participation
In late 2011 the Christie Administration announced New Jersey’s withdrawal from the program after three years of participation. As a result, New Jersey’s power plants are no longer governed by a limit on the amount of carbon pollution they can produce. At the same time, the state no longer receives any revenue resulting from the sale of pollution allowances required in participating states – limiting the state’s ability to invest in clean energy initiatives.
