Requires BPU to study potential deployment of advanced transmission technologies in NJ.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study how advanced transmission technologies (ATT) could improve the state's electrical grid. ATT includes tools like software for optimizing power flow or specialized conductors that boost existing infrastructure's capacity without building new lines. The study must evaluate ATT's potential to reduce grid congestion, lower costs for utilities, and speed up project timelines compared to traditional transmission upgrades. The BPU must submit findings within one year, including public input, to help determine if ATT should be adopted to support growing energy demand from data centers, manufacturing, and population growth.
