Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s electric public utilities to provide industrial portable power stations to customers during prolonged power outages. If a power outage lasts six or more hours, the utility must distribute these stations to affected areas, with one station provided for every 20 square miles. The utility is also mandated to publicly announce the locations of these stations on their website within an hour of deployment. This aims to provide backup power to residents and businesses during extended outages.
