A 6169 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits dual-use solar facilities to participate in community solar program.

This bill allows dual-use solar facilities - solar installations that serve a second purpose, such as farming or other land uses - to join New Jersey's community solar program. It directly affects solar project developers who operate dual-use facilities and customers who can now receive bill credits from these expanded projects. The program already enables customers to get bill credits for remotely located solar energy within their utility area, and this bill broadens eligibility to include dual-use installations without altering existing rules on project size (max 5 megawatts) or customer participation requirements. The change aims to increase solar capacity on land used for multiple purposes while maintaining the program's existing structure.
