New Jersey A796 requires electric public utilities to develop special tariffs for large load data centers to protect non-data center customers from.
New Jersey A796 mandates that electric public utilities establish and apply special tariffs for large load data centers. These tariffs must protect non-data center customers from increased costs due to higher electricity demand. The bill defines "large load data center" as a facility primarily used for storing, managing, and processing digital data, housing computer and network systems, and having a maximum monthly demand of at least 100 megawatts. The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) is tasked with reviewing and approving these tariffs, ensuring they protect ratepayers from increased costs.
