Concerns electricity load forecasting.

This bill (A 2491, "Concerns electricity load forecasting") requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities to collect and review load-forecasting data from electricity providers (like utilities and large commercial customers) and coordinate with the regional grid operator, PJM. It mandates that utilities and load-serving entities submit their forecasting methods, data, and related contracts to the Board, which must analyze this information to ensure accurate regional grid planning. The Board must also coordinate with PJM and neighboring states to prevent duplicate counting of projects and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature starting in 2026. The goal is to improve forecasting accuracy, maintain grid reliability, and prevent unnecessary costs for New Jersey consumers due to overbuilding or underbuilding infrastructure.
