NJ TRANSITGRID Microgrid Central Facility will provide reliable power to key NJ TRANSIT facilities and portions of the Northeast Corridor, Morris & Essex Line, HBLR Transit System, and the signal system on a portion of the Main Line. The Project will also provide power to the signal system on a portion of the Main Line. The proposed facility will operate 24/7 and be sized to handle limited operations on the Northeast Corridor between New York’s Penn Station and NJ TRANSIT’s Jersey Avenue Station in New Brunswick the Morris & Essex line between Hoboken Terminal and Maplewood Station and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) Transit System. The NJ TRANSITGRID microgrid will consist of a central, electric generation facility, as well as transmission and distribution lines to traction power substations that electrify the tracks and operating controls on portions of the NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak systems. NJ TRANSIT is soliciting an updated review of renewable or other zero emissions energy technology that may supplement or replace the current power generation design for the Proposed Microgrid Central Facility. To that end, the agency announced an ambitious plan to increase the project’s renewables and zero-emission profile, while reducing harmful emissions consistent with New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan and the Governor’s clean energy vision. NJ TRANSIT is committed to investing in a more sustainable future. To provide a reliable energy supply for a targeted portion of rail infrastructure, NJ TRANSIT will construct a microgrid capable of supplying highly reliable electric power during storms or other times when the commercial power grid is compromised.
