The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities approved new basic electricity rates for customers supplied by incumbent utilities for the next year that will result in modest changes for most residents and small- to medium-size businesses. Rates for a typical Atlantic City Electric Co. customer will decrease by 2.75 percent, and rates for customers of Public Service Electric & Gas Co. will increase 1.1 percent. Since 2009, energy costs for the residential and small- to medium-size commercial sector on average have fallen approximately 30 percent. The BPU, the state's utility regulator, annually supervises auctions to supply one-third of the utilities' power for the next three years. Retail customers are free to shop for a third-party supplier who may be able to beat their utility's price. - Andrew Maykuth
