New data centers projected to reduce residential electricity rates

OpenAI’s Project Camellia will pay for the infrastructure and electric service required for its planned Georgia campus. Revenue from large-load customers is now projected to save a typical Georgia Power household approximately $180 annually beginning in 2029. New Jersey is moving toward a similar model, with new laws requiring large data centers to pay their fair share and publicly report their energy and water use.

New Jersey nuclear plant reveals plans to become first major U.S. producer of critical medical isotope

New Jersey’s Salem nuclear plant is preparing to produce a critical isotope used to sterilize billions of medical devices. The project could supply at least half of U.S. demand while reducing the nation’s dependence on a small network of foreign producers.

States challenge plan to speed natural gas projects

FERC is seeking a faster approval process for expansion of pre-existing natural gas infrastructure projects, but a coalition of 15 attorneys general are pushing back. As electricity demand and household energy costs rise, the debate is testing whether faster permitting can support reliability while still protecting customers and communities.

Federal judge strikes down New York’s controversial climate superfund law

A federal judge has blocked New York from enforcing its controversial Climate Change Superfund Act, which sought to collect $75 billion in legal damages from major energy, utility and fuel companies over the 25 years. The court found the program was beyond the limits of state law.

What’s happening at the Cornell-Dubliner Superfund site in South Plainfield?

Cleaning up a Superfund site involves much more than removing contaminated soil. At the former Cornell-Dubilier Electronics facility in South Plainfield, decades of industrial activity contaminated buildings, groundwater, nearby properties and Bound Brook. The cleanup has required demolition, excavation, thermal treatment, groundwater extraction and years of monitoring. This deep dive examines how Superfund sites are investigated, how cleanup methods are selected, who pays for the work and why protecting a community can take decades.

A year after I-80 sinkholes, New Jersey looks to tackle the abandoned mines beneath its infrastructure

A year after abandoned mine collapses caused multiple sinkholes and months of disruption along I-80 in Wharton, New Jersey is looking beyond emergency repairs. New proposals would establish permanent abandoned-mine reclamation programs to identify dangerous underground voids, prioritize risks to roads and utilities, and stabilize problem areas before another collapse occurs. We look back at the I-80 emergency — and what New Jersey is doing to address the problem beneath its infrastructure.

The water workforce gap

New Jersey is investing billions of dollars in cleaner, more reliable water systems. But replacing pipes and upgrading treatment plants will not be enough if utilities cannot find the people needed to operate them.
