A 760 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs BPU to study whether State's electric distribution system meets certain standards.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study whether the state's electric distribution system meets reliability standards. The BPU must assess if electric companies comply with existing safety and maintenance rules, compare New Jersey's system performance to other states, evaluate storm response efforts, and check infrastructure against national safety codes. Within six months, the BPU must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature with findings and recommendations for improving system reliability. The study directly affects electric public utilities operating New Jersey's power distribution network.
