Earlier this week the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) announced they would be hosting a stakeholder meeting seeking input regarding LED streetlight conversion and tariffs.
Municipalities are a key stakeholder in this issue and your own experience and input is critical to the BPU’s process. At our 2019 Conference, the League adopted Conference Resolution 2019-21, which supports the revision of public utility tariffs to incentivize and increase the usage of LED streetlights. Please see the BPU’s notice for more information on the input sought.
A public meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 6 at Thomas Edison University in Trenton. Written comments can be submitted to Aida Camacho-Welch, Board Secretary, NJ BPU, 44 South Clinton Avenue, 9th Floor, Trenton, NJ 08625. Written comments may also be submitted electronically to board.secretary@bpu.nj.gov. All comments must be received on or before 5 p.m. on February 21, 2020.
We encourage our members to share their experiences with LED streetlight conversion and to participate in the stakeholder process with the BPU. If you plan on submitting written comments we ask that you forward a copy to the League as well.
