The requirement of the New Jersey Coastal Area Facility Review Act and the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act that energy facility siting be included in any coastal planning has mandated that the New Jersey Office of Coastal Zone Management (NJOCZM) address the siting of energy facilities in the coastal zone. The issues facing coastal energy planners are reviewed. Issues addressed include nuclear power, Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas exploration and development, deepwater ports, liquefied natural gas, and the more general issues of energy conservation and the siting of energy facilities. The report includes an overview of how energy is used and produced today in New Jersey. Some principles that will guide the NJOCZM in developing energy facility siting policies within the coastal zone are set forth. The report is intended as a working document to provoke discussion by energy users and energy producers, by local, state, and federal officials and agencies, by private interests and by the public. It is hoped that these discussions will lead to a further refinement of the issues, from which responsible and coherent coastal energy facility siting policies will emerge which can be incorporated into New Jersey's coastal management strategy.
