~~The primary~~ Construction Review reports that New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities chose the Garden State Reliability Project (Two Rivers Storage), a 150 MW / 600 MWh battery developed by Elevate Renewables at the Bergen Generating Station in Ridgefield, Bergen County, "as part of the Garden State Energy Storage Program", with "roughly $200 million in private investment"; the page was updated 17 March 2026. mGrid reports the Board "approved incentives for three large battery storage projects totaling 355 MW on March 5, 2026", including Two Rivers Energy Storage LLC (150 MW, Ridgefield, Bergen County), citing $12.28 million per year for 15 years. PJM's impact study ~~supports~~for request ~~AF2-415, its location~~ AF2-415 (released 2024-05-13) lists a proposed 150.0 MW storage facility at "Bergen 138 kV" with Juno Power Management LLC as developer name and ~~power rating.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
