New Jersey A255 mandates the integration of energy storage systems into the long-term planning process of electric service providers.

New Jersey A255 requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to adopt rules and regulations for the procurement of energy storage systems by electric service providers, including basic generation service providers, electric power suppliers, and electric public utilities. The bill aims to enhance grid reliability, reduce peak demand, and avoid unnecessary investments. It mandates the BPU to ensure these systems do not compromise grid security or safety. The BPU must treat procurement information as confidential and manage it according to state and federal laws on customer data.
