Maps & Tools
The Bureau of Climate Change & Clean Energy utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) applications to support, evaluate, and promote clean energy technologies and policy development. The Bureau has created and published a number of GIS datasets and online web-mapping applications that stakeholders can utilize for geospatial analyses and planning purposes. These GIS data downloads and web-mapping applications/story maps can be found by clicking the appropriate tiles below and cover topics such as solar PV siting and development, electricity and natural gas usage in New Jersey, public electric vehicle charging station locations, power plants and associated emissions, and State-based climate investments utilizing proceeds from auctions of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

Alternative Fueled Vehicle Fueling Stations
The purpose of this data is to identify the locations of publicly accessible Alternative Fueled Vehicle (AFV) Fueling Stations. The data can be used by Alternative Fueled Vehicle owners, government entities and other stakeholders to identify existing fueling locations and plan for future infrastructure build-out.

Community Solar PV Projects
This dataset was developed to support the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and their Community Solar Pilot Program. Providing this geospatial dataset will enable users to view the spatial distribution of projects, as well as relevant information specific to each awarded project. It will also assist with tracking of the program’s growth from year to year.

Solar PV Behind the Meter Greater than 1MW
The purpose of this data is to identify the boundaries of behind the meter (not grid supplied) solar PV installations in New Jersey that are greater than 1 megawatt (MW) in size. The data can be used by project managers, government entities and other stakeholders to understand the spatial extent of current photo voltaic installations and plan for future projects.

Solar PV Grid Supply Installations
The purpose of this data is to identify the boundaries of Solar PV Grid Supply Installations in New Jersey. The data can be used by project managers, government entities and other stakeholders to understand the spatial extent of current photo voltaic installations and plan for future projects.

Power Plant Locations
The purpose of this data is to show the spatial distribution of Power Plants in New Jersey. This dataset shows all of the electric generation stations, power plants, above 1 Megawatt capacity in New Jersey, which includes both fossil and renewable energy sources other than solar PV.

Historic Municipal Energy Use in New Jersey (Table)
This GIS table dataset was created so that users can spatially view the electricity and natural use statewide, in each of the specified sectors, in each year starting in 2015. This dataset represents years 2015 through 2021 at the time of initial publication and will be updated over time when the subsequent year is made available.

Solar Siting Analysis | Story Map (2017)
This tool was developed to aid local communities and potential solar developers in planning for solar installations by distinguishing between lands where the department encourages solar development from those where the department discourages solar development.

Trees for Schools: Tree Planting Grant Assistance Tool
This web application was developed to support the “Trees for Schools: Tree Planting Grants for New Jersey Public Schools, Colleges & Universities” program, and the identification of public school locations that best meet the criteria for grant funds.
