S 4813 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits collection of certain subscription fees under community solar program.

This bill prohibits electric utilities in New Jersey from including "solar subscription fees" paid to subscriber organizations in community solar subscribers' regular electricity bills. It directly affects community solar participants who currently see these fees added to their utility statements alongside energy credits. The bill requires utilities to develop methods to remove these fees from consolidated bills, defining "solar subscription fee" as any charge paid to entities managing subscriber acquisition or project operations. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities must implement this change through new rules. The policy change eliminates an additional cost for community solar users without altering the program's structure.
