At least 7 in 10 New Jerseyans support each of the six key components of the Clean Energy Equity Act, a bill that aims to help low-income New Jersey families benefit from solar, storage and energy efficiency, including:

• 76% support reducing electricity bills of at least 250,000 low-income residents by 2030
• 71% support establishing an Office of Clean Energy Equity
• 70% support increasing the amount of storage of renewable energy in low-income communities
• 76% support developing paid workforce training programs in the clean energy sector
• 71% support allocating 10% of the Board of Public Utilities’ budget to increase access to clean energy
• 71% support requiring all new construction in low-income communities is able to install solar energy

The poll also found that more than three-quarters of respondents with a household income of less than $50,000 per year were interested in solar energy programs to help lower or stabilize their electric bill at no additional cost.
