A 5743 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes targets for roadside solar projects in State's solar energy incentive program.

This bill amends New Jersey's SREC-II program to establish specific annual targets for solar projects on roadside right-of-way areas, requiring the Board of Public Utilities to award incentives for at least 50 megawatts of these projects per year for five years. The bill directs the Board to consider traffic volume and emissions burden of adjacent road systems when evaluating these projects, while ensuring they meet siting criteria that avoid protected lands like agricultural areas and wetlands. Roadside solar facilities meeting these requirements would receive solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) as part of the state's clean energy incentive program. This policy supports New Jersey's 2019 Energy Master Plan goal of achieving 17,000 megawatts of solar energy by 2035.
