Directs BPU to study feasibility of adopting certain requirements for installation of new and replacement electric distribution utility poles and transmission towers.

This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study whether to require specific upgrades for electric utility poles and transmission towers. The study will examine feasibility of mandating concrete/steel/fiberglass poles instead of wood, higher-grade poles/towers, taller poles for transformers, and improved foundation standards. The BPU must assess these options' ability to strengthen infrastructure against severe weather like hurricanes, while considering costs for ratepayers and utilities. The study, due within six months, will not change current requirements but will inform potential future standards. (Procedural bill; summary focuses solely on the study mandate.)
