The resolution designates March 21 of each year as Renewable Energy Day in New Jersey, recognizing the state's growing renewable energy sector and its significant contributions to electricity production, particularly solar energy. As of 2023, New Jersey ranks as the 12th largest producer of solar electricity in the nation, with a notable increase in installed solar capacity since 2017. The resolution highlights the importance of expanding renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, combat climate change, and improve health outcomes, particularly for socially vulnerable populations who are disproportionately affected by environmental issues.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials, citizens, and organizations to observe Renewable Energy Day with relevant activities and programs. This initiative aligns with national efforts to promote sustainable energy practices and aims to ensure equitable access to renewable energy resources for all New Jersey residents, ultimately contributing to the state's economic growth and environmental sustainability.
