Encourages Executive Branch and local government entities to use optimization modeling tools to evaluate energy policies and support sustainable, cost-effective, and health-conscious planning.
SCR 137 is a non-binding Senate Concurrent Resolution encouraging New Jersey's Executive Branch and local governments to explore energy-environment-economic optimization modeling tools. It urges these entities to use such tools to evaluate energy policies, assess tradeoffs between environmental, economic, and public health impacts, and support sustainable planning. The resolution specifically aims to help policymakers analyze scenarios like emissions reductions, renewable energy adoption, and infrastructure investments. It does not create new requirements but recommends leveraging existing modeling resources, including those developed by New Jersey public universities, for data-driven energy decision-making.
