New Jersey A4516 requires electric public utilities to pre-place repair equipment in areas with frequent power outages.

New Jersey A4516 mandates that electric public utilities pre-place repair equipment in areas prone to frequent power outages due to high-risk events such as excessive heat waves, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, high winds, tropical cyclones, and winter storms. Utilities must place the equipment 12 to 24 hours before a high-risk event. The Board of Public Utilities will issue guidelines on the types of equipment to pre-place and best practices for logistics and procedures.
