GIS Data Downloads

The data layers below were created by the Climate Change, Clean Energy & Sustainability Element (CCCES) and are updated on a regular basis as new information is obtained. Clicking a data layer will redirect to the NJ Office of GIS Open Data Portal where more information can be found, as well as download instructions.

	Alternative Fueled Vehicle Fueling Stations in NJ The data contained within this layer represents all of the public and private fueling stations for alternative fueled vehicles in the State, downloaded from the US Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/). The fueling stations shown include Biodiesel, Compressed Natural Gas, Ethanol, Electric, and Propane.
	Community Solar Projects This dataset was developed to support the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and their Community Solar Pilot Program. It currently represents the project location and project details of the 148 projects approved under Program Year 1 and Program Year 2 of the Community Solar Pilot Program.
	Solar PV Installations by County in NJ This data within this layer includes the quantity and installed capacity of solar installations in each of New Jersey's counties. The quantity and installed capacity in each county is also broken out by installation type (i.e. residential, non-residential, and gird supply).
	Solar PV at Public Facilities The data contained in this layer identifies all public solar installations in the State, as reported by the NJBPU and their Energy Market Managers, AEG. Public facilities include: Government Facilities, Public Schools, Public Colleges/Universities, and other public-school facilities.
	Solar PV Grid Supply Installations The data contained within this layer represents information acquired from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's Solar Activity Report (http://www.njcleanenergy.com/renewable-energy/project-activity-reports/project-activity-reports). The boundaries were calculated using a combination of 2015 ortho imagery and oblique aerial imagery using Pictometry.
	Solar PV Behind the Meter Installations Greater than 1 Megawatt (MW) The data contained within this layer represents the location and boundaries of solar PV installations that are classified as “behind the meter” and are greater than 1 MW in capacity. This information was acquired from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's Solar Activity Report (http://www.njcleanenergy.com/renewable-energy/project-activity-reports/project-activity-reports). The boundaries were calculated and drawn using a combination of 2015 ortho imagery and oblique aerial imagery using Pictometry.
	Solar Siting Analysis This analysis identifies where the Department would encourage solar installations from those where the Department would discourage solar installations, based on their land use and characteristics. Areas in the state are either designated as “Preferred”, “Not-Preferred”, or “Indeterminate” for siting solar based on their Anderson Code classifications for LULC. Clicking the link above will launch a download of a data table that can be joined to the 2012 LULC data layer in ArcMap to view the SSA.
	NJ Sustainable Jersey Certified Municipalities This layer shows the New Jersey municipalities that were certified under the Sustainable Jersey Program in 2019. Municipalities that achieve the certification are considered by their peers, by state government and by experts and civic organization in New jersey, to be among the leading municipalities striving for sustainability. For additional information about the program, as well as more information about the specific actions municipalities accomplished in order to become certified, please visit http://www.sustainablejersey.com/ .
	New Jersey Sustainable Business Registry This dataset contains locations and information on all of the businesses registered on the New Jersey Sustainable Business Registry. The New Jersey Sustainable Business Registry (NJSBR) was created to recognize and promote sustainable businesses, nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions across the state for their sustainable and "green" practices. For more information, visit: registry.njsbdc.com
	Power Plants of New Jersey This dataset shows all electric generation stations, power plants, above 1 Megawatt (MW) capacity in New Jersey, which includes both fossil and renewable energy sources other than solar PV.
	Power Plant Parcels of New Jersey This dataset shows the parcel boundaries of all electric generation stations, power plants, above 1 Megawatt (MW) capacity in New Jersey, which includes both fossil and renewable energy sources other than solar PV.
	Power Plant Electric Generating Units (EGU's) Subject to RGGI This data represents point locations for electric generating units (EGU) in New Jersey that are subject to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). These electric generating units are operated using fossil fuels and are at or above 25 megawatts in capacity.
	Electric Utilities Territory Map of NJ This data provides graphic representation of electric company territories of New Jersey. Data was compiled using Electric Utility paper maps, all greater than 1:500,000. It is anticipated that electric company territorial boundaries will remain stable.
	Gas Utilities Territory Map of NJ This New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) data provides graphic representation of BPU gas company territories of New Jersey. The data identifies territories served by New Jersey Natural Gas Suppliers and can be used to determine Natural Gas Supplier service areas throughout the State of New Jersey.
