WALL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) today received approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) on the settlement of its base rate case and conclusion of its Safety Acceleration and Facility Enhancement (SAFE II) and New Jersey Reinvestment in System Enhancement (NJ RISE) programs, resulting in a $79.269 million increase to its base rates. NJNG requested the increase to recover costs associated with the responsible operation of its business, system enhancements and infrastructure investments, including an emission-reducing green hydrogen project, the Southern Reliability Link (SRL) and a new safety training facility.


“This is a reasonable, fair settlement that recognizes the value of the more than $800 million of investments we’ve made in our system and operations since 2019,” said Steve Westhoven, President and CEO of New Jersey Natural Gas. “These investments have significantly enhanced the reliability of our delivery system, driven down emissions and supported the critical operation of our lifeline utility service. We thank the Board of Public Utilities for their work in reaching an outcome that balances the interests of our customers and our company.”

After a thorough review by regulators, the settlement reflects a rate base of $2.523 billion, an increase in revenue requirement of $79 million, an overall rate of return of 6.84 percent and a composite depreciation rate of 2.78%.

The BPU also authorized a $269,000 rate increase related to SAFE II and NJ RISE investments through June 30, 2021, effectively concluding those programs. Approved in 2016 and 2014, respectively, SAFE II and NJ RISE replaced unprotected base steel main in NJNG’s pipeline network and enhanced system resiliency in the most storm prone areas of its service territory.

The approved rates include recovery of NJNG’s new emission-reducing green hydrogen facility. This cutting-edge project is the first of its kind on the East Coast to generate zero-carbon green hydrogen and blend that energy with natural gas on an existing distribution system serving customers. The project results in lower emissions from the energy NJNG delivers, without any change to the way its customers receive or consume energy.

Also included is the recovery of all capital investments related to the SRL and a new safety training facility. The SRL is a 30-mile transmission pipeline that significantly strengthens NJNG’s delivery system and provides greater reliability and supply diversity to customers at the southern end of its service territory. The training facility is a part of NJNG’s commitment to safety. It will provide mandated operator qualification and safety-related training, including classroom and simulated field activities for NJNG employees and third-party contractors, as well as training opportunities for local emergency personnel.

Separately, the BPU approved a 1.4% increase related to Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) recoveries. The BGSS represents the cost of the commodity that is passed through to customers. Any change to this rate does not result in a change in earnings for NJNG.

The new rates will go into effect on December 1, 2021.

As a result of the BGSS and base rate adjustments approved by the BPU, the typical residential heating customer using 100 therms a month will see an increase of $13.23, or 11.3%, on their monthly bill, from $117.05 to $130.28. Even with this change, customers’ bills are still 23.4% lower than they were in 2008.

Energy assistance is available for customers struggling to pay their natural gas bill. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.

While aging infrastructure remains a concern, focus on cybersecurity and grid modernization reflects rising challenges for service providers


OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Facing mounting demand to integrate increasing amounts of renewable energy onto the grid and elevate their resilience to power-disrupting weather events and wildfires, U.S. electric utilities continue to wage a transformation keying on their need to modernize in a decarbonizing world. Black & Veatch’s new survey-driven Electric Report puts into focus the blend of challenges and opportunities for a sector tasked with bolstering their reliability in a rapidly evolving energy ecosystem.

Applying its expert analyses to survey data from nearly 500 electric industry stakeholders – and released on the heels of the influential COP26 global summit about climate change – Black & Veatch’s 15th annual report details a path forward for the sector as “new energy” from solar and wind – and the ascension of hydrogen – continue to reshape the domestic power landscape.

Highlighted during the recent U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, unrelenting demands from governments, corporations, activists and shareholders for lower carbon footprints also are prompting utilities to balance their energy portfolios with cleaner, more environmentally friendly options. Cyber threats and the pressing need to invest in charging infrastructure for a proliferating electric vehicle (EV) market add to such headwinds as the industry prepares for a surge in demand after more than a decade of slow growth.

Detailing the push for utilities and power developers to become more sustainable, reliable and resilient, the report offers key insights, including:

  • While aging infrastructure has been a relative constant as the industry’s most-cited top challenge for more than a decade, roughly one-third of survey respondents now rate the integration of renewables as their No. 1 challenge, moving up one spot from last year. Cybersecurity jumped four spots to second place, with aging infrastructure now third.
  • Over the next decade, the energy sector expects to see solar and wind power as critical to meeting clean energy goals and/or cutting their emissions and carbon output. Those numbers drop considerably beyond 10 years, giving way to more deployments of hydrogen — the most-cited option beyond the next decade — and battery energy storage.
  • Industry concerns regarding the future of renewables at scale center on three major barriers, with cost leading the way.
  • With no universal approach in preparing grids for extreme climate events, each energy asset owner and provider will need a customized strategy that accounts for system constraints, geographic location, asset vulnerabilities, budgetary considerations and workforce availability.
  • Government incentives and policies, along with increased governmental pressure and influence, are the top two factors driving the respondents’ renewable energy investments in their regions.

As the surge of clean energy fuels, advancements in energy storage and extreme weather events and wildfires continue to have a profound impact on the U.S. power grid’s resilience, electric utilities must embrace the opportunity to innovate and repower themselves,” said Mario Azar, president of Black & Veatch's energy and process industries business. “It’s a pivotal time for forward-looking, proactive energy approaches that deliver the reliability and lower carbon impacts that consumers and enterprises, big and small, demand from critical infrastructure services.”

Other notable findings in the report include:

  • Nine out of 10 respondents expect energy storage investments to increase in the next five years in their region, up from 80 percent last year. More than half — 56 percent — expect their generation capacity investment in hydrogen to rise over the same half-decade time frame, double the 26 percent of respondents who anticipated as much in 2020.
  • Nearly 80 percent of respondents are committed to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions while furthering their own clean energy goals. More than half (57 percent) are doing this independently from any regulatory mandate.
  • Seventy-five percent of respondents say they are directing their capital toward clean renewable energy investment, yet less than 10 percent believe a 100-percent clean energy generation model has been validated.
  • Four out of five respondents consider asset hardening to be more important today than in previous years. This may be due to the immediacy of this year’s weather issues – or reflect the business community’s awareness of the significant financial and reputational risk they face from extreme weather events.
  • Nearly three-quarters of survey respondents acknowledge there is local pressure on their utilities to commit to decarbonization. Roughly one-third of respondents say they’re feeling increased demand for clean energy solutions from commercial and industrial clients, up nearly three-fold from last year.

SINGAPORE & DOHA, Qatar & SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pavilion Energy Trading & Supply Pte. Ltd.1 (“Pavilion Energy”), QatarEnergy and Chevron U.S.A. Inc (Singapore branch) (“Chevron”) (NYSE: CVX) today announced they have jointly published a quantification and reporting methodology to produce a statement of greenhouse gas emissions (SGE) for delivered LNG cargoes.


This is the first such published methodology that will be applied to sales and purchase agreements (SPAs), specifically the executed SPAs2 by Pavilion Energy with QatarEnergy and Chevron. Intended for wide adoption, the methodology provides a calculation and reporting framework for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from wellhead-to-discharge terminal, based on industry standards.

The SGE Methodology was developed by a team of technical specialists representing Pavilion Energy, QatarEnergy and Chevron, supported by global sustainability consultancy Environmental Resources Management (ERM). It aims to create a common standard for the measurement, reporting and verification of the GHG emissions associated with producing and delivering an LNG cargo to drive greater transparency and enable stronger action on GHG reduction measures.

Independent academic experts, commercial institutions and verification bodies have reviewed the SGE Methodology. It complements key industry efforts being developed in parallel, specifically the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) and GHG Neutral Framework by the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL).

“We share a common and decisive vision with QatarEnergy and Chevron to advocate for transparency and accuracy of GHG emissions associated with delivered LNG cargoes,” said Alan Heng, Interim Group CEO of Pavilion Energy. “The SGE Methodology sets a strong tone for increased accountability of emissions along the LNG value chain, paving the way for more decarbonisation strategies towards a lower carbon future.”

Ahmad Saeed Al-Amoodi, QatarEnergy’s Executive Vice President of Surface Development and Sustainability, said, "This joint effort to develop a greenhouse gas quantification and reporting methodology is part of a series of projects and initiatives that reflect QatarEnergy’s commitment to reduce GHG emissions and to de-carbonize the LNG value chain. We are proud to join hands with our partners Pavilion Energy and Chevron in this landmark project.”

“We jointly developed this LNG carbon-footprinting methodology for delivered cargoes to help advance a standard for GHG product-level accounting,” said Bruce Niemeyer, Chevron's vice president of strategy and sustainability. “This methodology is expected to enhance transparency, improve accuracy and build stakeholder confidence in data reliability to help advance net zero ambitions.”

RIDGEWOOD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scale Microgrid Solutions announces the first closing of its new developer friendly finance products, making up to $55 million of capital available to Urban Energy Inc. to develop community solar in New York City and beyond.


Urban Energy Inc. (“Urban Energy”) is tailored to increase clean distributed energy adoption among small-commercial and condo/cooperative residential buildings in NYC by enabling no-investment participation and maximizing system values through urban-specific technologies and design. Their mission is to be the simplest path forward for New York City building owners to participate in clean energy projects. They’ve grown dramatically in the past several years, fueled by their focus on developing innovative roofing solutions for a historically under-served market. The team works tirelessly to meet New York City’s evolving clean energy needs.

Scale Microgrid Solutions (“Scale”) is pleased to announce a financing commitment with Urban Energy to fund the development, construction and acquisition of community solar installations in all five boroughs of New York City and beyond. Scale is teaming up with Urban Energy to break down the barriers that have traditionally challenged clean energy developers in dense, urban environments.

“Scale has provided us with flexible development capital that will help us grow our pipeline. With their commitment to acquire projects, we can now confidently offer financed solutions to building owners in New York City,” said Russell Wilcox, Co-Founder and CEO of Urban Energy.

“We are excited to launch Scale’s Capital Solutions Development Finance Facility credit product with Urban Energy in New York City. Urban Energy provides innovative solutions to provide cost savings and meet the energy needs of a broad array of New Yorkers. They will utilize this capital to achieve new levels of scale,” said Julian Torres, CFA, Chief Investment Officer of Scale Microgrid Solutions.

About Scale Microgrid Solutions: Scale is a vertically integrated distributed energy platform, with a core focus of designing, building, financing, owning and operating cutting-edge distributed energy assets that offer cheaper, cleaner, and more resilient power. Their team of energy and financing experts accelerate growth in distributed energy projects by providing financing to technology providers, energy developers, and OEMs, while also directly helping large energy-consuming customers ​to take charge of their energy infrastructure and future-proof their businesses.

About Urban Energy: Urban Energy was founded in July 2017 as a solar developer, EPC, and advanced racking manufacturer. Following triple-bottom-line principles, Urban Energy makes rooftop solar viable for multifamily structures by offering scalable and financeable solar products, including an innovative solar canopy designed specifically for underserved urban buildings. Urban Energy currently has a pipeline of 6.5 MW of contracted projects in Con Edison territory of NYC and Westchester, representing over 80 large multifamily residential and small-commercial buildings. Over half of Urban Energy’s contracted projects will employ the solar canopy, and nearly all will serve low-and-moderate-income or public housing buildings.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capstone Companies, Inc. (OTC: CAPC) (“Capstone” or the “Company”), a designer, manufacturer and marketer of consumer inspired products that simplify daily living through technology reported its third quarter 2021 financial results on Monday, November 15, 2021. As a direct result of ongoing delays of certification and testing, the Company’s planned product launch for Q3 2021 was delayed and no revenues were generated in the third quarter accordingly.


The Company’s plan to produce an estimated 3,000 mirrors in 2021 remains intact. The remarkable increase in costs and limited availability of transport as widely reported in daily news coverage will impact the stateside availability dates for the second production run of 2,000 mirrors. The cost mitigation plan implemented in 2020 and the $1.5 million private equity placement in April 2021 has enabled the Company to sustain operations during these unprecedented times.

Stewart Wallach, Capstone’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While the outbreaks of COVID have minimally effected the workforce in China and Thai factories in Q3, the certifications and testing, specifically FCC EMC, remain pending precluding the Company from shipping mirrors in Q3 as anticipated."

He added, "Management continues to exhaust every effort in addressing the delays which frankly are inexplicable. We have confirmed (as per my October 11th PR) that the FCC EMC product testing was completed and that the certification is forthcoming. We are aggressively following up daily to bring this matter to a close. In the thirty-five years that your management team has been creating and bringing new consumer products to market, we have never experienced anything like this before.”

Wallach further commented, “On a positive note, to avoid any further delays, we have pre-paid an estimated $700 thousand for components and production for the first 1,000 mirrors are scheduled at the factory pending the publication of the FCC certification. We are standing ready for initial product release. The insiders and directors remain resolute, and have continued to support the Company with an additional $1 million in inventory funding made available on October 18th. In addition to the funding, the largest insider shareholders have not sold any shares. I realize the shareholder community is anxious as communications have been limited since mid-October and accordingly, I will be scheduling a webcast prior to Thanksgiving to share material updates on the Smart Mirror program.”

Investment Alleviates Supply Bottleneck for Electric Vehicle Batteries, and Will Establish Mangrove’s First Lithium Refining Facility

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mangrove Lithium announced today it has closed a $10 million USD Series A investment round led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) with participation from existing investor BDC Capital’s Cleantech Practice (BDC). The company will use the investment to build its first operational, commercial-scale plant with the intention of expanding lithium refining capacity in the Western Hemisphere.



Benchmark Mineral Intelligence forecasts a global supply gap of 4.3 million tons of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide by 2040. The supply of high-purity, battery grade lithium will be critical to the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EV). A shortage could keep millions of EVs from being built. (See Figure 1)

Mangrove has developed a feedstock-flexible, modular platform to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. It does so cost-effectively by using brines, hard-rock, clays, and battery recycling streams to address this supply gap.

“A sufficient supply of high-purity lithium is critical if the world is going to reach over 70% EV penetration by 2040. There is a strong risk of this ambition being derailed if the emerging supply deficit is not addressed today,” said Mangrove CEO Saad Dara.

The company’s technology unlocks new assets and turns resources into reserves by enabling greater project bankability. Mangrove’s initial focus is on the lithium brines that represent 60% of global deposits. Mangrove’s innovation eliminates complex steps in the conventional refining processes for lithium brines. In addition to eliminating CapEx traditionally associated with conventional refining methods, Mangrove’s technology has the potential to reduce OpEx by as much as 40% in lithium hydroxide production from brines.

“Transitioning to EVs is a critical step in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Mangrove’s technology solves a huge constraint in electrifying the world’s vehicle fleet by enabling the lowest-cost, highest-purity lithium hydroxide – at a scale of hundreds of millions of vehicles – and can be applied throughout the supply chain,” said Carmichael Roberts, Breakthrough Energy Ventures.

BDC’s Vivian Kan added that, “This investment will continue to build on Canadian innovation and secure a stronger position for Canadian firms in the lithium and battery sector.”

Mangrove’s platform can integrate with upstream lithium producers, vertically integrate lithium refining alongside battery manufacturing, or act as a versatile independent refinery. All of these contribute to a more resilient and distributed supply chain (See Figure 2). Mangrove intends to work with different companies throughout the lithium and battery supply chains to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate at commercial scale to meet growing demand.

About Mangrove Lithium
Mangrove Lithium, a Vancouver based company, has developed a breakthrough platform for the most cost-effective production of battery grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate from diverse input streams and assets. Mangrove’s modular solution can be scaled to any capacity and co-located with upstream lithium producers or cathode and cell manufacturers. The platform technology is also being commercialized for the conversion of waste brines to chemicals and desalinated water. Visit www.mangrovelithium.com.

Winter is Almost Here: Act Now to Prepare and Save Energy this Season

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Winter chills mean the heating system and water heaters in your home may need to work harder, which ultimately impacts pocketbooks. And, this year, the commodity price of natural gas is rising across the nation and around the world, which will affect all of us. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) passes through the commodity cost of natural gas to our customers with no markup.

“We use various strategies throughout the year to secure favorable pricing for the natural gas we purchase for our customers, in addition to offering a variety of programs to help customers manage energy costs. As we continue to attempt to alleviate the price swings, we encourage our customers to take extra steps now that will help them get ready and save all winter long,” said Marlene Santos, PG&E’s Chief Customer Officer.

PG&E takes several steps to reduce the impact of volatile gas prices on our customers. These include:

  • Buying natural gas at times throughout the year when it’s less expensive,
  • Using our gas storage facilities like McDonald Island, as well as other independently owned gas storage fields in northern California to store less expensive gas purchases for cold winter months, when prices and customer demand are higher,
  • Contracting for pipeline access to multiple gas production geographic areas to secure lower priced gas, and
  • Engaging in financial hedging to limit the impact of price volatility on customer bills.

PG&E wants customers to be aware of ways to save energy and money as we head into the winter months. PG&E offers the following tips to safely reduce the cost of keeping warm.

  • Lower thermostat: Setting the thermostat to 68 degrees (health permitting) during the cooler months can save up to 15% on energy bills. Save about 2% on your heating bill for each degree the thermostat is lowered (if the turndown lasts a good part of the day or night).

  • Control water temperature: Set your water heater thermostat at 120°F or lower. This way you'll reduce the amount of energy it takes to produce and maintain your hot water by not overheating it.

  • Stop drafts in their tracks: Save up to 10% on annual energy costs by reducing drafts and saving energy by sealing holes around pipes, wiring, vents or recessed lights with foam or caulk.

  • Keep warm air moving: Reverse your fan in winter to produce a gentle updraft, forcing warm air near the ceiling down into the living space.

  • Don’t close vents in unused rooms: Closed registers force the same amount of air through other ducts. This builds pressure in the system and makes the HVAC work harder to distribute air where needed.

  • Invest in energy-saving products: Install a programmable thermostat to save about $180 annually in energy costs.

  • Enroll in a monthly discount program: Qualifying customers can apply for a monthly discount through the California Alternate Rates for Energy Program (CARE)

  • Get help making energy-saving improvements: Qualifying customers can receive free energy efficiency upgrades through the Energy Savings Assistance Program.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$RDW--Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, is providing critical navigation components and roll-out solar array (ROSA) technology for NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, the world’s first planetary defense test mission. The mission is set to launch no earlier than November 23 at 10:20 p.m. PST from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.


Redwire delivered two Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA) for the DART program through a contract with Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). The two solar arrays, which each unfurl to 28 feet when fully deployed, will power the entire spacecraft. The arrays will feature Redwire’s Flexible Array Concentrator Technology (FACT) Solar Power Modules, which use high efficiency SolAero Inverted Metamorphic Module 4J Photovoltaic solar cells, as a Transformational Solar Array demonstration. Redwire also delivered a Digital Sun Sensor system consisting of five Digital Sun Sensor heads and one Digital Sun Sensor electronics processing unit, which will be used for attitude control and fail-safe recovery throughout the mission.

“Redwire is proud to partner with APL and NASA on this historic mission and it’s incredibly exciting to see our technology used to advance Earth’s planetary defense capabilities,” said Andrew Rush, President and COO of Redwire. “As a critical mission partner, we are leveraging our innovative, flight-proven technology to enable truly game-changing missions, like DART, that are expanding our understanding of the solar system and ushering in an exciting new era of exploration.”

DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space. The DART spacecraft will travel millions of miles to a binary asteroid, Didymos, where it will crash into its moonlet to adjust its speed and trajectory. As humankind’s first planetary defense mission, DART will demonstrate critical technology that could one day be used to protect Earth from a dangerous asteroid or comet.

First demonstrated on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2017, Redwire‘s ROSA technology is compact, modular and scalable, making it ideal for use on various spaceflight platforms. In June 2021, two ROSA arrays were successfully installed and deployed on the ISS to provide a critical power boost, and four more arrays under contract with Boeing will be installed over the next two years. Redwire is also producing various modular versions of ROSA for many government and commercial spaceflight applications, including Maxar’s Power and Propulsion Element for NASA’s Gateway program and the Ovzon 3 GEO spacecraft for Maxar’s Legion-class satellites.

Redwire’s Digital Sun Sensor has a rich flight heritage and is valued for its accuracy, durability, and compact and lightweight design. Other missions and spacecraft the Digital Sun Sensors have supported include: Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers A and B, Mars Science Lander Curiosity, Mars 2020 Perseverance, IRIS, and Cassini-Huygens.

Building on decades of flight heritage combined with new space technology, Redwire’s advanced sensors and components are enabling unparalleled navigation and power generation capabilities, providing more flexibility and capability on-orbit with more processing power and smaller form factors.

Leader in industrial scale woody biomass to renewable gasoline and hydrogen selects sites for the construction of its renewable gasoline and hydrogen plants

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arbor Renewable Gas, LLC (“Arbor Gas”) announced today that it has selected a 53-acre site in Beaumont, Texas as the home of its first renewable gasoline plant. The “Spindletop Plant” is located on the Beaumont, Nederland border. The site was selected for its access to critical infrastructure and feedstock as well a talented and experienced workforce, along with longstanding community support for modern fuel plants.


The plant will produce approximately 1,000 barrels per day of high quality, environmentally responsible “drop-in” renewable gasoline for sale into the renewable fuels marketplace. The gasoline will be produced from woody biomass generated from the East Texas woodshed in compliance with the EPA rules under the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”). Once produced, the gasoline will be shipped to consumers that require the fuel under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”).

“The Arbor Gas team is extremely excited to build its first plant in the City of Beaumont,” said Timothy Vail, CEO of Arbor Gas. “Both the City of Beaumont and Jefferson County have been very welcoming and supportive of our development efforts.” Mr. Vail continued to say, “Just as the Spindletop area opened the door to the petroleum revolution in 1901, Arbor Gas and the City of Beaumont are reinventing the way transportation fuels are produced, and decarbonizing transportation fuel for all consumers of gasoline.”

Construction of the Spindletop Plant will commence in the first quarter of 2022 with an expected completion date in late 2023. Commercial production from the facility is expected to begin in early 2024.

Additionally, Arbor Gas has tentatively selected a site in Pasadena, Texas for continued later expansion. The “Red Bluff Road” site is ideally located in the Bayport industrial district near large consumers of hydrogen. This site offers a unique location to produce renewable hydrogen on an industrial scale with the ability to efficiently transport the product via pipeline directly to end-users.

About Arbor Renewable Gas, LLC
