S 641 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires electric public utilities to submit to BPU and implement integrated distribution plans.

S 641 requires New Jersey's electric public utilities (companies delivering electricity to homes and businesses) to create and submit "integrated distribution plans" to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). These plans must address infrastructure upgrades for safety and reliability, support smaller energy sources like rooftop solar, and ensure customer benefits. The BPU must first set plan criteria within six months, then utilities must submit plans one year later. If approved, utilities must implement the plans; if rejected, they must revise and resubmit within 90 days.
