Establishes natural gas power plant procurement program in BPU.
Assembly Bill A6190 establishes a program for New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to solicit proposals for new natural gas power plants capable of generating at least 1,100 megawatts of electricity within the state. Developers must submit detailed proposals covering project costs, financing, and pricing structures for energy certificates (representing electricity supply) and natural gas development charges, which would be recovered from electricity ratepayers. The bill requires applicants to analyze the project's economic impact on jobs and local economies, and includes a mechanism to share cost overruns (up to 20% of estimated construction costs) between developers and ratepayers. This program directly affects natural gas power plant developers and New Jersey electricity consumers through potential changes in energy pricing and infrastructure investment.
