Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s electric public utilities to upgrade portions of their power lines using ‘advanced conductors,’ which are designed to reduce electrical resistance and carry more current. Utilities must assess their systems to identify cost-effective upgrade locations and file a plan with the Board of Public Utilities. The bill also allows utilities to seek approval to include the costs of these upgrades in customer rates, with the Board developing criteria for what constitutes ‘reasonable’ costs.
