Requires certain State agencies to establish expedited approval and permitting procedures for artificial intelligence data centers powered by small modular nuclear reactors.
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to create faster approval and permitting processes for artificial intelligence data centers that use small modular nuclear reactors. It directly affects the Board of Public Utilities, Department of Community Affairs, and Department of Environmental Protection, which must establish these expedited procedures within 12 months of the bill taking effect. The key provisions mandate streamlined site approvals, construction plan reviews, electrical interconnection processes, and environmental permits for projects combining AI data centers with on-site nuclear power. The bill aims to accelerate the development of new AI data centers powered by small modular reactors while also allowing their use at existing facilities.
