Re:      2011 Energy Master Plan (EMP)

Dear Mayor:

Governor Chris Christie announced yesterday the adoption of the State’s 2011 Energy Master Plan (EMP).  The EMP is a strategic vision for the use, management, and development of energy in New Jersey over the next decade.  As required by law, the EMP includes long-term objectives and interim measures consistent with and necessary to achieving those objectives.

The EMP can be viewed by visiting: http://www.nj.gov/emp/
  
The League Energy Policy Committee is currently reviewing the Energy Master Plan to ensure that it advances its objectives without sacrificing the rights of local governments.

Attached to this email is a copy of the Energy Master Plan as well as a frequently asked questions document prepared by the Board of Public Utilities.  You can also find a copy of the Energy Master Plan on the League’s website at:

Very truly yours,

William G. Dressel, Jr.
