Directs EDA to establish New Jersey Energy Independence Bank to fund environmental projects.

The bill directs the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) to establish the New Jersey Energy Independence Bank (NJEIB). The NJEIB would be an independent, wholly-owned subsidiary of the EDA, tasked with providing access to capital for environmental projects. These projects include renewable energy facilities, energy storage, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle infrastructure. The NJEIB would leverage public funds to attract private investment and would not engage in direct lending to residential customers.
