Substituted by S3183 (3R)
Summary
The bill changes New Jersey’s renewable energy incentive programs by allowing multiple solar facilities to be sited together and removing size limits for projects on landfills, brownfields, contaminated or mining sites. It also obligates electric utilities to accept and process interconnection requests for community solar and remote net‑metering projects on lines 34.5 kV or less within set timeframes, with daily penalties for delays. These changes aim to speed solar development and make underused lands usable for clean energy.
