A review of New Jersey's proposed conservation plan was completed, and it was concluded that no significant adverse environmental impacts are expected to result from plan implementation and that beneficial environmental impacts outweigh adverse impacts. The target of the New Jersey plan is to reduce the state's 1980 energy consumption by 139.25 trillion BTU. This, measured against the 1980 baseline projection for New Jersey of 1946.44 trillion equals a 7.15% savings. Savings from the five required program measures will amount to 5.135 trillion BTU. It is seen that the residential and commercial sectors account for 47.3% of New Jersey's total energy consumption and about 62.3% of the projected savings will come from this area. The industrial sector is responsible for 22.1% and about 23.1% of projected savings will amount to about 23.1% while transportation uses about 30.6% of total consumption and savings in this area will amount to 10.2%. About 29% of fuels consumed are for the purpose of generating electricity purchased by the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
