Updates certain notification requirements in "Energy Bill Watch" program.
This bill (S 4532) updates New Jersey's "Energy Bill Watch" program, which affects residential customers using smart meters for electricity or gas. It requires utilities to notify these customers on the 10th and 20th days of each billing cycle about their usage costs (in dollars) and consumption (in kilowatt hours or therms) up to two days prior to notification. Customers can choose text or email alerts and set usage thresholds for additional alerts. Utilities must automatically enroll smart meter customers but provide clear opt-out options and program details through multiple channels like email, social media, and billing statements.
