Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s investor-owned electric public utilities to submit an emergency response plan to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). The BPU will establish standards for these plans, mirroring national best practices for service restoration. Utilities that fail to meet these standards or submit their plans by the deadline will be subject to fines, and the BPU can investigate utility performance following widespread outages to ensure compliance and assess damages.
