For Immediate Release
At tonight’s meeting, the Asbury Park City Council passed an ordinance transitioning the City to 100 percent renewable energy through a community choice energy aggregation program.
Municipal energy aggregation programs, which operate in towns and cities across the state, give residents a ‘bulk buying’ discount on their electricity bills. These community choice programs can also set guidelines about the sources of that electricity. The program in Asbury Park will reach the 100 percent renewable energy threshold by the year 2030.
The city has joined a community aggregation program launched in Red Bank last year that included the same renewable targets.
