And the Garden State just hit another solar milestone, reaching five gigawatts of installed solar energy, which is enough to power roughly 700,000 households, according to New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities.

That's more than double the state's solar energy output since Governor Murphy got into office putting New Jersey on track to install 7500 gigawatts of solar capacity by next year.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities touted the goal today at the Secaucus ice rink, home to a municipally owned solar project that was recently finished.

Since making the community solar program permanent in 2023, the Murphy administration has set its sights on solar programs with partners and farmland, with more than 200,000 solar installations now complete in the Garden State.
