What happened
The City of Woodbine is pursuing a community solar farm project with CEP Renewables, and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities is commenting on the plans. The project, which was initially planned for a former 100-acre landfill site, is transferring to CEP Renewables to begin work next year after delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative comes as New Jersey electricity rates have increased by an average of 16.1 percent in 2026.
