Prohibits BPU from approving electric public utility rate increase without full rate review.
This bill (A-1331) requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to conduct a full rate review before approving any electric rate increase requested by an electric public utility. It directly affects electric utilities seeking rate hikes and the ratepayers who pay those rates. The key provision mandates that the BPU cannot approve any increase to an electric rate component without completing this comprehensive review process. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
