New Jersey S3944 allows renewable energy systems on preserved farmland to provide power or heat to adjacent properties under specific conditions.
New Jersey S3944 amends existing law to authorize the construction, installation, and operation of biomass, solar, or wind energy generation facilities on preserved farmland. These systems can generate power or heat for the farm or an adjacent property, provided the adjacent property is the primary residence of the farm's owner or operator. The energy can also be used to reduce costs through net metering. The State Agriculture Development Committee must approve these installations, and the systems must not interfere significantly with agricultural production.
