New Jersey A257 mandates the Board of Public Utilities to conduct a study on whether deploying microgrids and generators can reduce the duration of power outages. The study will compare New Jersey's electric distribution system with others, assess the impact of microgrids and generators in other states, consult with relevant entities, and consider costs to ratepayers, municipalities, electric public utilities, and the state. The study must be completed within six months and submitted to the Governor and Legislature.
