New Jersey S249 mandates the Board of Public Utilities to create a beneficial building electrification program and requires electric utilities to.

New Jersey S249 requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to establish a beneficial building electrification program. This program aims to transition end-use equipment from nonelectric to efficient electric types for various building uses, including heating and industrial processes. The bill defines "beneficial electrification" as changes that reduce societal costs, greenhouse gas emissions, or promote off-peak grid use. The BPU must develop greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for these programs and adopt rules within a year of the bill's enactment.
