Requires electric public utilities to provide industrial portable power stations accessible to customers during certain power outages.
This bill (A4843) requires New Jersey electric utilities to provide industrial portable power stations during prolonged outages lasting six or more hours. It directly affects customers in geographic areas experiencing such outages, mandating one power station per 20 square miles. Utilities must make these stations available by the end of the sixth hour, place them in accessible central locations, and publish each station's location online within one hour of setup. The bill defines "industrial portable power stations" as large lithium-ion battery units for charging external devices, targeting direct utility action during extended service interruptions.
