About NewJersey Resources Corporation
About NewJersey Resources Corporation
New Jersey Resources reported net income of $335.6 million for fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, across four segments: Natural Gas Distribution (NJNG), Clean Energy Ventures (CEV), Energy Services (ES), and Storage and Transportation (S&T). NJNG, the regulated gas utility, generated $1.3 billion in total operating revenues in fiscal 2025 serving approximately 1.7 million people across a 1,538-square-mile territory in six New Jersey counties under Board of Public Utilities jurisdiction. CEV operated 479 megawatts of commercial solar capacity across seven states at September 30, 2025.
NJNG earns regulated revenue through cost-of-service rates authorized by the BPU, with gross margin stabilized by the Conservation Incentive Program, which decouples utility gross margin from weather and customer usage variations. In fiscal 2025, NJNG operating revenues included $781 million from residential customers, $162 million from commercial and other, $108 million from firm transportation, and $241 million from BGSS incentive programs. Energy Services manages physical natural gas storage and pipeline contracts, capturing price differentials between geographic locations and time periods; the segment sold 108.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas in fiscal 2025. In December 2020, ES entered Asset Management Agreements with an investment-grade public utility to release pipeline capacity, contributing roughly $34 million annually from fiscal 2025 through 2031. CEV generates solar energy and renewable energy certificate revenue under BPU-set incentive rates including TRECs and the solar successor CSI program.
Show full overview
NJNG's regulated operations are subject exclusively to BPU jurisdiction, and a February 2023 executive order in New Jersey opened a proceeding to plan the future of natural gas utilities in the state — an unresolved regulatory development that could materially affect NJNG's business model if new rules restrict natural gas hookups or mandate accelerated electrification. The company targets a 60% reduction in New Jersey operational emissions from 2006 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions from New Jersey operations by 2050 under state GWRA requirements. The BGSS incentive and CIP programs that stabilize NJNG's gross margin are subject to annual BPU review and could be modified or discontinued, introducing variability in the utility's regulated earnings.
