S 4606 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes targets for roadside solar projects in State's solar energy incentive program.

This bill establishes a 50-megawatt annual target for solar projects on roadside rights-of-way as part of New Jersey's SREC-II solar incentive program. It requires the Board of Public Utilities to integrate these projects into the existing program with evaluation criteria that consider traffic volume and emissions burden of adjacent road systems. The policy directly affects solar developers seeking incentives for projects on public roadways, aiming to increase solar energy development while considering transportation impacts. This change is part of New Jersey's broader strategy to meet clean energy goals outlined in the 2019 Energy Master Plan.
