New Jersey A707 mandates electric public utilities to submit plans to the Board of Public Utilities for hardening electric distribution substations.

New Jersey A707 requires electric public utilities to submit proposals to the Board of Public Utilities detailing their plans to harden electric distribution substations to protect against criminal attacks. The Board of Public Utilities must review these plans within 180 days and determine their feasibility. If approved, the utility must implement the plan within one year. This act aims to enhance the security of electric distribution substations, which convert high-voltage electricity from the transmission grid to lower voltages for distribution to end-use customers.
