Introduced·1/9/24

New Jersey S223 mandates the Board of Public Utilities to set privacy standards for electric utilities using customer energy usage data.

New Jersey S223 requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to establish privacy standards for electric public utilities using customer energy usage data (CEUD). The BPU must set these standards within 90 days of issuing statewide privacy requirements. Electric utilities must then submit a data access plan to the BPU within 90 days of the effective date of the bill. The plan must ensure customers have real-time access to their CEUD, collected through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and that utilities protect CEUD from unauthorized disclosure.
