Requires BPU to study and implement methods to allow additional distributed energy sources to interconnect to electrical grid.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study and implement methods that would allow more rooftop solar, small wind, and other distributed energy systems to connect to the electrical grid. Specifically, the BPU must examine four key technical solutions: enabling electricity flow between grid segments, requiring solar inverters to manage electricity flow more efficiently, making energy storage systems adjust to demand, and allowing solar panels to automatically adjust output based on weather. Within one year, the BPU must submit a report with recommendations, followed by a pilot program testing these solutions in a small area before potential statewide adoption. This directly affects renewable energy developers, utility companies, and homeowners with distributed energy systems by potentially easing grid connection barriers.
