Directs BPU to conduct study to determine whether deployment of microgrids and generators will reduce length of power outages.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study whether microgrids and backup generators could shorten prolonged power outages. The BPU must complete a report within six months, comparing New Jersey's grid performance to other states, assessing how microgrids/generators reduced outages elsewhere, and consulting with utilities and experts. The study must also evaluate costs for ratepayers, municipalities, and utilities. The report will inform recommendations to improve the state's grid resilience and reliability.
