Directs BPU to conduct study to determine whether deployment of microgrids and generators will reduce length of power outages.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study whether microgrids and backup generators can reduce the duration of prolonged power outages. The BPU must complete a report within six months, comparing New Jersey's electric system to other states, assessing real-world impacts of these technologies, and consulting with utilities and communities. The study must also evaluate costs for ratepayers, municipalities, and the state. This bill does not implement new policies but mandates a factual analysis to inform future decisions about grid resilience. It affects all New Jersey residents and utilities by potentially shaping future energy infrastructure investments.
