Bill overview
This bill establishes a four-year pilot program allowing gas public utilities in New Jersey to implement thermal energy network projects. These projects would utilize geothermal or other renewable thermal energy sources to supply heating and cooling to multiple buildings, potentially replacing existing natural gas infrastructure. The program aims to demonstrate the benefits and costs of thermal energy networks and could lead to a permanent regulatory framework for thermal energy distribution. The bill also includes provisions for the board to review project plans and collect data on the pilot program’s implementation.
