A 3107 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs BPU to establish rebate program for purchase of zero-emission lawn equipment.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create a rebate program for residents and businesses purchasing electric or battery-powered lawn equipment (like mowers, leaf blowers, and trimmers), replacing gas-powered alternatives. Rebates are calculated as 25% of the purchase price, capped at $50 for equipment under $250, $100 for $250-$500, and $150 for equipment over $500. Funding comes from the societal benefits charge, and the BPU must advertise rebates through existing channels like the Clean Energy Program. The program aims to reduce emissions by incentivizing cleaner equipment adoption across households and businesses.
