Prohibits collection of certain subscription fees under community solar program.
Bill A 2851 prohibits electric utilities in New Jersey from including "solar subscription fees" in community solar subscribers' monthly bills. These fees, paid to companies managing community solar projects (called "subscriber organizations"), would be removed from utility bills under the bill's requirements. The law directs the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to mandate that utilities develop a method to eliminate these fees, which currently appear alongside energy credits on subscriber bills. The bill affects community solar participants and the organizations that manage their enrollment in solar projects.
