- Effective Energy Aggregation Protects Members from High Energy Prices
- 2024 marked both the end of the NJFC Electric Aggregation's 30-month fixed contract - which saved members over $38 million versus variable and fixed utility supply rates - and the beginning of a new 24-month contract that will continue to provide budget certainty and protection from market risk through end of 2025. Under the new contract, members have saved over $2.5 million year to date, with a total contract savings expected to be in the range of $6-8 million. Members will begin the process of evaluating electricity supply options for a successor contract early next year to be able to quickly respond to market opportunities and changing economic conditions.
- Granted Funding for Food Safety Training
- NJFC was awarded a $149,800 grant from the Customized Training Program in the State Department of Labor to support food handlers and provide food safety training for New Jersey supermarkets, grocers and convenience stores. The grant supports the partnership between NJFC and the Office of Continuing Education at Rutgers University, which administers the grant project. Training is offered to NJFC member companies to provide food handlers with extensive and required state and federal food safety and sanitation training.
