Planning Study Information

The Board of Public Utilities, together with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Economic Development Authority, are conducting a study on new nuclear energy to help guide and inform the state on potential pathways for new nuclear development. A report will be produced that focuses on:

  • Siting assessment and deployment scenarios 
  • Regulatory and permitting considerations 
  • Economics and market impacts 
  • Safety and environmental considerations 
  • Infrastructure integration and cost recovery 
  • Stakeholder engagement 
  • Workforce, supply chain, and job impacts

Together, these insights will provide a strong framework for informed decision-making, positioning New Jersey for success as it expands its nuclear energy efforts.
