The pilot program is meant to help cover the costs for Camden and Newark businesses to buy and use electric trucks and aims to start the process of slowly weaning diesel-powered trucks off of the state’s roads.

The Somerset-based firm elevated David Zmijewski to president, and Richard Lake and David Garbarino have been promoted to vice president.

The long-term use of the fire suppressant resulted in excessive levels of toxic chemicals emanating from the U.S. facilities, according to the state's complaint.

Officials are rolling out a $750,000 grant pilot program that would provide seed funding to “very early-stage” cleantech start-ups for developing technology that would recapture or halt emissions of pollutants, carbon and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The Camden-based utility said the improvements are part of its multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life in more than 100 communities across the state.

The new system will generate approximately 2.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year - the equivalent of approximately 253 homes being supplied with all their energy for a year.

The Camden-based company will upgrade aging water lines along Sunset Avenue from Main Street to Ocean Avenue.

The Camden-based utility sees the investment as a means to advance water service reliability and increase water flows for household consumption and fire protection in the community.

The factory will be located at the Paulsboro Marine Terminal as part of a deal with Danish offshore wind company Ørsted and German pipe manufacturer the EEW Group.

The upgrading of main and service lines is part of the Camden-based utility's investment to continue to advance water service reliability and increase water flows.

“As New Jersey looks to rebuild its economy in the wake of COVID-19 and positions itself as a leader in the new American offshore wind energy, Ørsted is uniquely positioned to help the state achieve its goals,” stated David Hardy, chief executive officer for Ørsted Offshore North America.
