Requires BPU to publish third-party energy supplier information on its Internet website; establishes public awareness campaign on retail choice.
This bill (A5650) requires New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to publish clear, user-friendly information about third-party energy suppliers on its website and launch a public education campaign. It mandates the BPU to study other states' websites to create a model, then post supplier details quarterly in plain language explaining the benefits of choosing alternative electricity or gas providers. The bill directly affects all residential and commercial electric and gas public utility customers in New Jersey, who currently have limited awareness of their retail choice options (only 6.2% of residential electric and 2.5% of residential gas customers currently use third-party suppliers). The key mechanisms are the standardized website information and the ongoing awareness campaign to help customers make informed energy supplier decisions.
