It's a Fact...
The members of the New Jersey Utilities Association provide important services through vast networks of infrastructure that are the backbone of New Jersey’s economy and support quality of life. NJUA member companies touch the lives of every person who lives or works in New Jersey.
 Because of the services provided safely and reliably every day by NJUA members, people can read when it’s dark; heat and cool their homes, schools and businesses; enjoy clean water; preserve and prepare food; and communicate rapidly and regularly with friends, family and colleagues. Through utility services, office buildings come to life, factories run, street lights come on, and voice and data communications are possible. New Jersey’s utilities help drive the economic engine of this state.
NJUA member companies make other important economic contributions to the State. They...
- Employ over 32,000 union and non-union men and women for a combined payroll in excess of $2 billion/year;
- Own and operate physical infrastructure valued at more than $24 billion;
- Contribute nearly $780 million in annual revenues to local and state government through gross receipts, TEFA, corporate business, property and various excise taxes;
- Donate over $7 million dollars to NJ based charitable organizations
New Jersey’s utilities are proud members of their communities. Through dedicated, service-oriented and safety-minded employees, NJUA members serve more than 9 million residential customer accounts and nearly 2.3 million non-residential customer accounts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
