List of power stations in New Jersey

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of New Jersey, sorted by type and name. In 2024, New Jersey had a total summer capacity of 16.6 GW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 60,175 GWh. In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 48.5% natural gas, 45.7% nuclear, 3.3% solar, 1% biomass, 0.3% other gases, 0.2% petroleum, and 1% other. Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned PV panels, delivered an additional net 3,820 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid during 2025. This was nearly twice the generation of New Jersey's utility-scale PV plants.

New Jersey's renewable portfolio standard was updated in 2018 to require that 21% of electricity be from renewable sources by 2021, 35% by 2025, and 50% by 2030.State Renewable Portfolio Standards and Goals , National Conference of State Legislatures, April 17, 2020 In February 2023, Governor Phil Murphy set a goal of 100% clean electricity (including non-renewable zero-emissions sources) by 2035. About 75% of in-state renewable generation came from small- and large-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) that year.

Nuclear power stations There are two nuclear power stations in New Jersey both operated by PSEG Nuclear. The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Lacey Township, owned and operated by Oyster Creek Environmental Protection, permanently ceased operations on September 17, 2018.
