谢里尔州长上任首日冻结公用事业费率并宣布能源紧急状态

摘要

新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔签署行政命令,冻结公用事业费率并扩大发电规模,以应对该州的能源负担危机。

在上任的第一天,新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔签署了两项行政命令,旨在应对该州不断上涨的公用事业费用。第一项命令冻结电价上涨,指示公共事业委员会(BPU)提供抵消即将上涨费用的抵免,并暂停或调整可能进一步推高账单的公用事业措施。

第二项命令宣布公用事业费用进入紧急状态,启动扩大州内发电的项目,包括太阳能和电池储能,并成立核能工作组以探索新的核能发电。这项命令还指示州政府机构加快能源项目的审批流程,并要求电力公司报告数据中心的能源需求。

谢里尔州长强调了这些行动的紧迫性,她表示:“新泽西,我听到了你们的声音——我们正面临一场负担危机,你们希望费用下降,而且希望从今天开始。”

这些措施兑现了谢里尔的竞选承诺,旨在解决不断上涨的公用事业费用,使新泽西成为一个生活和工作更负担得起的地方。
