Electricity costs will go up in June. Will NJ residents see relief in bills this spring?

New Jersey residents will see electric bills rise by 17% to 20% starting June 1, following a year of increasing utility costs. This increase comes after last summer's rate hikes and is attributed to high maintenance costs of the electrical grid and increased consumption during colder months. While spring typically sees lower energy usage, relief in bills will depend on individual consumption. Tips for reducing energy costs include using window coverings, adjusting thermostats, and maintaining cooling equipment.
