New Jersey's EPA eGRID2023 electricity emission factor is 421.0 lb CO2e per MWh (0.1910 kg per kWh). This is 45% cleaner than the US national average.
Multiply the facility's annual kWh consumption by 0.1910 to get kg CO2e. Divide by 1,000 for metric tonnes. For facilities spanning multiple New Jersey subregions, use the emission factors API to get the exact factor by ZIP code.
New Jersey's grid is 57% carbon-free and 23% renewable. At 421 lb CO2e/MWh, it is 45% cleaner than the US average of 770.9 lb/MWh.
