Expresses no confidence in BPU.

This non-binding Assembly Resolution (AR 190) expresses the New Jersey General Assembly’s lack of confidence in the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). It cites the BPU’s role in certifying a February 2025 electricity auction that will raise average residential bills by 17-20% starting June 2025, with New Jersey’s electricity costs now 27% above the national average. The resolution states the Assembly believes the BPU has prioritized renewable energy goals over affordability, dismissed internal dissent, and used ratepayer funds for temporary subsidies instead of long-term solutions. The resolution formally notifies the BPU and Governor but does not change BPU authority or electricity rates.
