Requires BPU to provide funding for purchase and installation of photovoltaic technologies for age-restricted community clubhouse facilities from societal benefits charge.
This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to provide grants and low-interest loans to age-restricted communities for installing solar panels (photovoltaic technologies) at their clubhouse facilities, using funds from the "societal benefits charge" collected by electric utilities. The bill defines "age-restricted community" as a community that complies with federal standards for housing for older persons. This change expands existing demand-side management programs to specifically support solar energy installations in senior living community facilities. The funding mechanism would help reduce energy costs for these communities while promoting renewable energy adoption through an existing utility-funded program.
