North Cape May - Recent news stories have me concerned my electricity bill will rise again if New Jersey leaves the regional marketplace. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, increases to heat my home or keep my lights on mean less money available for groceries or prescription drugs. Social Security checks cannot cover it all. The BPU is considering a proposal to let New Jersey dictate electric deals with its main energy providers rather than allowing competitive pricing. If this happens, residents will be the ones who pay. Unlike my fiscal situation, PSEG and Exelon are profitable and secure.
