A 4521 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Re-locates certain energy incentive and all utility assistance programs to new Office of Energy Management; establishes common application platform for utility assistance programs.

This bill creates a new Office of Energy Management within the Department of the Treasury to centralize administration of all energy efficiency programs and utility assistance programs for residential customers. It transfers existing programs currently managed by the Board of Public Utilities, the Department of Community Affairs, and the Department of Human Services to this new office. The bill also requires the office to develop a single online application platform that lets residents see all available utility assistance programs, check eligibility, submit applications simultaneously for multiple programs, and track their status. This aims to simplify access to energy and utility assistance for New Jersey residents while consolidating state agency responsibilities.
