Did you know a portion of your electric bill goes to help keep New Jersey's three nuclear power plants afloat? Residential customers throughout New Jersey now dish out, through their electric bills, around $30 to $40 a year, depending on how much electricity they use. Large industrial users can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Now Newark-based Public Service Enterprise Group, the largest owner of the three nuclear reactors, has asked the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to extend the subsidies another three years. A decision is expected in April. The plants are not profitable, says PSEG Power, the utility's subsidiary that operates its power plants.
