Requires BPU to pay for certain compliance costs of State energy policies.

This bill requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to cover specific costs that residential and commercial customers incur when complying with state energy policies, such as the Energy Master Plan. These costs include purchasing and installing new energy-efficient appliances, upgrading home electrical systems, and paying for permits, but exclude the cost of energy itself. The BPU will fund these payments using uncommitted funds from the societal benefits charge, the Global Warming Solutions Fund, and a settlement with Orsted; if these funds are insufficient, the BPU must use state General Fund appropriations. The policy shifts the financial burden of compliance from consumers to the state, aiming to prevent residents from bearing the full cost of mandated energy upgrades.
