Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create a program to encourage building electrification and reduce carbon emissions. It also mandates that electric public utilities develop and implement plans to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The program will focus on replacing fossil fuel-based equipment with efficient electric alternatives, such as heat pumps and induction ranges, and incentivize contractors to promote these changes. The BPU will establish rules and regulations, and utilities must demonstrate cost-effectiveness and meet specific emission reduction goals.
