"[1] NJBPU regulates natural gas, electricity, water, telecommunications and cable television services.

NJBPU traces its roots back to 1910, with the formation of the Board of Public Utility Commissioners,[2] which then covered gas, electricity, water and communications, as well as railroads and interstate commerce.

Commissioner Christine Guhl-Sadovy (since June 2023) was named the President of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities after the death of Joseph L. Fiordaliso in September 2023.
