New Jersey Energy Resilience Bank (ERB) Overview
The extensive damage and outages caused by Superstorm Sandy prompted the state to prioritize its efforts to minimize the potential impacts of future major power outages and increase energy resilience. BPU and EDA have partnered to commit $200 million in funding for the ERB to assist critical facilities with securing resilient energy technologies that will make them – and, by extension, the communities they serve – less vulnerable to future severe weather events and other emergencies.
