New Jersey S737 exempts small-scale renewable energy projects from state land-use permit requirements if approved by local government.

New Jersey S737 allows small-scale renewable energy projects to bypass state land-use permit requirements if they receive approval from local government units. This bill defines a small-scale renewable energy project as a system with a generation capacity of less than 20 megawatts. If an applicant files a permit application with a state agency, they waive their right to seek only local approval.
