Strategy & Planning

New Jersey BPU: Julie Ford-Williams

Director of Customer Assistance

“Most challenging is trying to get customers to understand that if they pay something, if they try to keep up as best they can, that the utilities will work with them.”

New Jersey BPU: Paul Flanagan

Executive Director

“In a litigated matter, this office works between the Commissioners and the Staff to make sure information flows both ways, and is correct and complete, so that the policymakers can make decisions, and the divisions know what those policy calls are and how they should be implemented.”

New Jersey BPU: Dianne Solomon

Commissioner

“We need people who are able to install, repair, and keep the infrastructure operating. When kids are young, is when you have to start getting them interested. It’s important and should be one of our charges as Commissioners.”

New Jersey BPU: Mary-Anna Holden

Commissioner

“My goal is to create an incentive for water utilities enabling them to put acoustical testing on hydrants and mains, to be able to find leaks, stop them, and prevent them from becoming main breaks and sinkholes taking out other valuable infrastructure.”

New Jersey BPU: Bob Gordon

Commissioner

“The big challenge is balancing our desire to address climate change through our clean energy policies and achieving the goals Governor Murphy has set out, against our obligation to protect the ratepayer.”

New Jersey BPU: Upendra Chivukula

Commissioner

“We don’t look at utilities as our adversaries. We look at them as partners because we have the physical threats of all the natural disasters, and we also have cyber threats.”
