Directs BPU to establish virtual power plant program to reduce peak demand for electric energy.

S 3399 directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to establish a virtual power plant program aimed at reducing peak electricity demand by 500 megawatts by 2030. The program will coordinate distributed energy resources - such as home batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and controllable loads - through third-party aggregators to shift energy use away from peak times. This approach is intended to lower electricity costs for ratepayers, reduce reliance on fossil fuel peaker plants, and avoid costly grid infrastructure upgrades, as outlined in the bill's findings.
