Whether your electric bill goes up or down a little in June depends on where you live.

The state Board of Public Utilities on Thursday approved the results of the state's annual electricity auction.

It sets the wholesale electricity prices that the state's electric utilities will pay and pass through to all New Jersey residential customers who have not chosen a third-party electric supplier. It does not increase or decrease a utility's profits.

Beginning June 1, New Jersey customers will see their bill rise or fall depending on their electric utility. BPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso said the auction resulted in "stable energy costs" with bill impacts ranging from a 2.2 percent decrease for Jersey Central Power & Light customers to a 0.8 percent increase for Atlantic City Electric customers.

Customers of Jersey Central Power & Light will see their average monthly bill fall by $2.03, or 2.2 percent, to $88.78.

Average monthly bills for Atlantic City Electric customers will rise by 90 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $115.16, while Public Service Electric and Gas bills will rise by 35 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $115.35, Rockland Electric, which services the far northern portion of the state, will see a 0.5 percent decrease, dropping bills by 59 cents to $113.98. The average assumes using 650 kilowatts a month.

The electricity auction, which represents a third of New Jersey's electric supply, replaces "slightly more expensive" contracts from three years ago, Fiordaliso said. "The auction was competitive throughout the bidding process."
