How Energy Deregulation Works in New Jersey

New Jersey passed Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act (1999), opening the commercial electricity market to retail competition. Today, PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric deliver power through wires they own — but you choose the company that generates and prices that electricity. That's a retail energy supplier (REP), and there are 100+ competing for your business.

NJ deregulated in 1999 under the Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act

The grid operator — PJM — runs the wholesale market where suppliers buy power in bulk. What they pay in that market, plus their margin and your delivery charges, determines your all-in rate. A broker's job is to know which suppliers are pricing aggressively at any given moment and lock that in before the window closes.

The New Jersey Commercial Electricity Market

PSE&G serves northern NJ including Newark/Trenton corridor; JCP&L serves central NJ; Atlantic City Electric serves southern NJ The supply charge — typically the largest line item on commercial bills — is where your choice matters. Delivery and transmission charges are regulated and fixed by the state PUC.

Choosing a Supplier in New Jersey

We run a structured quote process: pull your usage history (12 months minimum), identify your load profile and peak demand pattern, then submit to 30+ suppliers simultaneously. Suppliers compete. You get multiple offers within 24–48 hours with our plain-English translation of each.

We don't represent any single supplier. Our fee comes from the supplier you choose — standard in the industry and priced into every quote regardless of whether you use a broker. You pay nothing out of pocket and get a competitive process you wouldn't have time to run yourself.

Contract Types for New Jersey Businesses

Three main structures exist in New Jersey:

• Fixed-rate: Set price per kWh for the contract term (typically 12–36 months). Best for businesses that need budget certainty. Typical New Jersey range: 10–15 cents/kWh (higher in PSE&G territory).
• Variable-rate: Floats with the wholesale market monthly. Can save money in low-price periods, but exposes you to spikes. Generally not recommended for most commercial accounts without a hedge strategy.
• Indexed contracts: Priced against a published index (Day-Ahead, NYMEX) plus a fixed adder. Transparent pricing, but requires understanding what you're tracking.
