Overview
This bill establishes a four-year pilot program overseen by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to explore the use of thermal energy networks by gas utilities. These networks would replace traditional natural gas infrastructure in areas where it’s needed, such as those with aging pipelines or no existing gas service. The program will consider factors like cost, benefits, and impact on low-income communities, and the Board will assess whether to extend, convert to a permanent program, or allow geothermal energy as a regulated service.
