A new statewide poll conducted by The Fairleigh Dickinson University shows most New Jersey consumers would switch electricity providers in the state’s competitive market if they could save 10 percent or more on the electricity generation portion of their utility bill. The poll, conducted among nearly 700 residents who participate in household financial decisions, found 64 percent of residents are very likely or somewhat likely to choose a new supplier if the economic benefits were adequate.
 

New Jersey’s electricity market has experienced a recent influx of competitive power suppliers, benefiting both consumers and the environment. The state’s market has seen exponential growth in recent months – and consumers are jumping at the opportunity to competitively shop for their electricity supply.
 

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) Year in Review 2009 report detailed how despite the economic downturn installed solar power capacity climbed past 2,000 megawatts (MW), enough to power a city of 350,000 homes. The top two states in 2009 and cumulative installed capacity were states with competitive power markets.
