Leadership transition Prepare for a leadership transition as the CEO retires in August 2026. This presents an opportunity to engage with the new leadership team on strategic initiatives, future energy projects, and continuity of ongoing utility and renewables programs.

Renewables growth SJI Renewable Energy Ventures focuses on waste-to-energy and decarbonization, including the Atlantic RNG facility developed with OPAL Fuels. This signals a strong channel for partnerships in clean energy project development, EPC services, and energy management solutions.

Regulated utility base SJI Utilities serves over 700,000 customers in New Jersey, indicating stable demand for infrastructure upgrades, smart meter deployments, energy efficiency programs, and compliance-driven services that support regulatory and reliability objectives.

Technology modernization The company uses a mix of enterprise tools (iCIMS, Drupal, SharePoint, Hyperion, Oracle/PostgreSQL) which suggests opportunities for IT modernization services, data integration, cybersecurity, and cloud-based analytics to optimize operations and customer experience.

Strategic partnerships Past collaborations with OPAL Fuels and a diversified non-utility portfolio point to openness to joint ventures, financing arrangements, and value-added energy services that can expand into storage, management, and distributed energy projects.
