Directs BPU to establish certain standards concerning electric public utility use of customer energy usage data.

New Jersey's S 223 requires electric utilities to give customers full ownership and control over their energy usage data collected through smart meters. The bill mandates that utilities obtain explicit customer consent before sharing data with third parties and sets new privacy standards through the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Utilities must provide real-time access to customer energy data within 24 hours, implement security measures to prevent breaches, and notify customers if data is compromised. This directly affects electricity customers and utilities by establishing clear rules for data privacy, access, and third-party sharing.
