"Load Forecast Accountability Act"; requires BPU to review electricity load forecasting in State.

The "Load Forecast Accountability Act" (S 3370) requires New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to collect and analyze electricity load-forecasting data that utilities provide to PJM Interconnection (the regional grid operator). This data estimates future peak demand in utility service areas, which PJM uses to set grid planning needs and costs. The bill mandates the BPU to review this information, coordinate with PJM and neighboring states to prevent duplicate project counting, and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature. It directly affects New Jersey electric utilities (who must share data), the BPU (who must analyze and report), and PJM (who must collaborate on regional planning).
