Requires electric public utilities to submit to BPU and implement integrated distribution plans.

S 236 requires New Jersey's electric public utilities (companies that distribute electricity to homes and businesses) to create and submit detailed "integrated distribution plans" to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). These plans must outline investments needed to modernize aging infrastructure, improve system safety and reliability, and integrate renewable energy sources like rooftop solar. The BPU must first develop specific criteria for these plans within six months, and utilities must submit their plans within a year after those criteria are set. The BPU then has 90 days to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the plans, with utilities required to implement approved plans. This bill directly affects all electricity providers operating in New Jersey.
