Dear NJUA Members, Associate Members, Community Partners and Friends,

After careful consideration, and in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel the New Jersey Utilities Association’s 105^th Annual Conference, originally scheduled for June 3 – 5, 2020.

Dear NJUA Members, Associate Members and Community Partners,

As a key component of the state’s economy, the investor-owned utilities of New Jersey continue to play a critical role in the everyday lives of each person living in or doing business in the Garden State.

While these are unprecedented times, I am pleased to report that NJUA’s member companies have taken a leadership role in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak en masse. 

“The New Jersey Utilities Association and its 13 member companies continue to closely monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 outbreak. New Jersey’s investor-owned utilities work tirelessly, around the clock, to provide essential water, wastewater, electric, natural gas and telecommunications services to New Jersey residents and businesses. As such, we are working in conjunction with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to establish and implement COVID-19 preparedness plans to ensure continuity of service and health of customers and employees.
