A 2935 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Energy Facilities Siting Commission.

This bill proposes creating the Energy Facilities Siting Commission, a new state body to review and approve locations for energy projects. The commission would set siting criteria, recommend specific sites for new energy facilities, and decide whether to approve or deny applications for construction. It would directly affect energy developers seeking to build or expand facilities like power plants, natural gas storage, or biofuel processing sites. The commission would consist of five members with regional representation and energy expertise, aiming to streamline approvals while balancing state energy needs. This is a procedural bill establishing a review process, not a policy change affecting existing facilities.
