NJ Transit pulls plug air permit application for gas power plant, a win for those opposing it
Updated Jan 13, 2021;
NJ Transit has withdrawn an air permit to build a natural gas-fueled “TransitGrid” power plant after being directed to do so by Gov. Phil Murphy, marking a major victory for environmentalists and municipalities that fought it.
A Jan. 11 letter from Murphy to Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scacetti said “while the state intends to build the project” the air permit pending with the state Department of Environmental Protection “should be withdrawn at this time.” In the letter he reminded the commissioner of the “clean energy commitments advanced by my administration.”
Planning Board green-lights Gilpatrick Road solar projectÂ
ELLSWORTH â A proposed solar farm off Gilpatrick Road received preliminary plan approval on Jan. 7 from a Planning Board that is becoming well-versed in such applications, having ushered three separate solar projects through the planning board process. The Gilpatrick Solar Project was first discussed at a Dec. 2 meeting.
Proposed is a 3.5-megawatt, ground-mounted array on 19.81 acres of a 127-acre parcel that would connect to three-phase utility power lines on Gilpatrick Road. Access roads will be built leading to the site, and a performance bond of $105,350 will cover the full costs of decommissioning the project.
