Prohibits BPU from retiring electric generation facilities in certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) from shutting down any existing electric power plant ("covered facility") unless the BPU first identifies one or more replacement plants that meet two conditions: (1) produce enough renewable energy (including wind, solar, hydro, or nuclear) to cover the original plant's electricity demand, and (2) can start operating before the original plant closes to avoid power shortages. It directly affects the BPU's authority over power plant retirements and electric generation facilities connected to New Jersey's grid. The bill does not apply to plants that are unsafe, non-functional, or threaten public health, allowing the BPU to retire those without replacement. This policy aims to prevent gaps in electricity supply during transitions to renewable energy.
