New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill signed the Power NJ Act on 13 July 2026, directing the state's Board of Public Utilities and Economic Development Authority to establish an advanced nuclear energy procurement programme. The legislation creates a regulatory and procurement pathway for nuclear power in the state.

New Jersey just opened a procurement door for advanced nuclear reactors that was legally closed. If you build modular or advanced reactors, this is the first state-level buyer pathway in the Northeast—call the BPU this week before competitors map the same route.
