Requires BPU to review and report on rates and revenues of electric public utilities that use smart meters.
This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to review the electricity rates and revenues of all electric utilities using smart meters. Specifically, the BPU must compare each utility's rates and revenue amounts before and after installing smart meters. Within six months of the bill taking effect, the BPU must submit a written report summarizing its findings to the Governor and Legislature. The bill directly affects electric utilities that have deployed smart meters, focusing on transparency around billing impacts rather than changing rates themselves.
