New Jersey A1551 mandates the Board of Public Utilities to study advanced transmission technologies to enhance grid efficiency and reliability.

New Jersey A1551 requires the Board of Public Utilities to study the potential deployment of advanced transmission technologies (ATT) by electric public utilities. The study aims to evaluate the attributes, functions, costs, and benefits of ATT, identify potential reductions in transmission project costs and timelines, and explore ways for customers to invest in ATT. The board must also evaluate policies from other states and recommend actions to encourage ATT adoption. The study will culminate in a report to the Governor and Legislature, published on the board's website.
