A 2819 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires BPU to provide funding for purchase and installation of photovoltaic technologies for age-restricted community clubhouse facilities from societal benefits charge.

This bill directs the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to use funds from the societal benefits charge to pay for the purchase and installation of solar panel systems in age-restricted community clubhouses. The legislation primarily affects senior housing communities and the state utility board by establishing a specific funding source for renewable energy upgrades in these facilities. By defining age-restricted communities according to federal housing standards, the bill ensures that only qualifying senior housing projects receive this financial assistance. The measure does not impose new costs on residents or utilities but allocates existing regulatory funds toward energy efficiency improvements in designated senior living areas.
