What is EAGER?
Public Service Electric & Gas (“PSE&G”) is the default electricity supplier in northern Bergen County. However, New Jersey law1 allows towns to pass an ordinance establishing a government energy aggregation (“GEA”) program for its residents. Through this program, the local government can negotiate a contract with non-PSE&G sellers known as “third-party suppliers” to obtain greener sourced electricity at a potentially better price. All residents can benefit from an electricity supply that is more sustainable, often less expensive, with better and more secure terms than individuals can typically achieve on their own.
