Bill overview
This bill directs the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to conduct a study to determine if using microgrids and generators can shorten the duration of power outages. The study will compare New Jersey’s electric system to others, assess the impact of these technologies, and gather input from various stakeholders. The BPU must also recommend improvements to the state’s electric grid resilience and reliability, while considering the costs associated with these changes.
