Requires certain electric public utilities to file emergency response plan with BPU.

S 2358 requires investor-owned electric utilities in New Jersey to submit an annual emergency response plan to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) by May 15 each year. The plan must detail procedures for restoring power during widespread outages, including customer communication, medical needs coordination, employee safety protocols, and resource deployment. Utilities that fail to file the plan or meet BPU-established standards face fines of up to $10,000 per day per violation (capped at $1 million for related incidents). Collected fines fund grants for municipalities to maintain infrastructure near power lines - like tree trimming - to prevent future outages.
