Requires offshore wind project escrow funds to be remitted to BPU for certain ratepayer relief.

Summary

The bill transfers any unused money the state receives from its settlement with Ørsted over canceled offshore wind projects to the Board of Public Utilities. The Board must then use that money to lower electric bills for customers of electric public utilities, and it must set rules on how and when the relief is provided. This aims to give immediate financial help to ratepayers using funds that would otherwise sit idle.
