A 3964 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Removes project capacity limit for community solar energy projects.

This bill removes the 5-megawatt capacity limit for individual community solar energy projects in New Jersey's existing pilot program. It directly affects solar project developers and utility customers who participate in community solar programs by allowing projects of any size to join the program. The key change eliminates a previous restriction while maintaining other program requirements, such as minimum customer participation, low-income access standards, and credit calculation rules. The bill does not alter the program's core structure but enables larger-scale solar projects to qualify. This change applies to all community solar projects registered after the bill's enactment.
