Abstract: This New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) data provides graphic representation of BPU gas company territories of New Jersey. The data identifies territories served by New Jersey Natural Gas Suppliers and can be used to determine Natural Gas Supplier service areas throughout the State of New Jersey.
Purpose: The data was created to identify the territories served by New Jersey Natural Gas Suppliers. The data can be used by suppliers, consumers, government entities, etc. to determine Natural Gas Supplier service areas throughout the State of New Jersey.
Supplemental Information: The NJ BPU "Gas Utilities Territory Map" is already publically available at https://www.njcleanenergy.com//main/public-reports-and-library/links/gas-utilities-territory-map ; SAGE created a layer file to correlate the symbology to this map.
