Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s electric public utilities to get approval from the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) before building new or modifying existing transmission lines. Utilities must submit a detailed proposal outlining the project’s potential environmental impact, costs, and whether it addresses a demonstrated need like improved reliability or increased energy supply. The BPU will review these proposals to ensure they are reasonable, cost-effective, and in the public interest.
