flag New Jersey bill would give fire companies lower electricity rates to cut costs amid rising bills.

flag New Jersey lawmakers are advancing a bill to lower electricity costs for volunteer fire companies and rescue squads by requiring utilities to charge them the lowest residential rate, potentially saving hundreds monthly. flag The measure, backed by Republican senators Vince Polistina and Carmen Amato, Jr., aims to ease financial strain on volunteers amid rising utility bills. flag In Egg Harbor Township, five fire companies face growing pressure but have not yet closed or consolidated. flag The push follows a 17-20% electric rate hike in June 2025 and Governor Mikie Sherrill’s actions to freeze rates and speed up renewable energy projects.
