New Jersey families pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country. Rising utility bills are being driven by poor planning, unchecked demand, and a system that rewards utilities even when costs spiral out of control.
Cammie supports a practical, cost-focused energy strategy that lowers bills while strengthening the grid. That includes expanding solar power and battery storage for every willing home and business to reduce peak demand and stabilize prices. Large corporate energy users, including data centers, must pay their fair share for the infrastructure they require instead of passing costs on to families. Utility executives should be held accountable, with compensation tied to performance — including keeping rates affordable.
Clean energy is not just a climate solution. It is one of the most effective tools we have to lower costs for consumers.
In Congress, Cammie will champion:
- Free solar and battery technology for everyone who will plug into the grid, helping to increase the supply of clean, affordable electricity
- Making data centers pay their fair share, as they drive increased electricity demand
- Tying utility executive pay to our electricity rates, ending the practice of monopoly utilities rewarding CEOs while customers face double-digit bill increases
