Requires electric public utilities to pre-place repair equipment in areas with frequent power outages.

This bill requires New Jersey electric utilities to pre-position repair equipment in service areas with frequent power outages caused by high-risk weather events (such as storms, heat waves, or blizzards) at least 12 to 24 hours before such events occur. Utilities must maintain the equipment to ensure it is functional and consult with the Board of Public Utilities to identify which areas require pre-positioning. The Board will establish rules specifying the types of equipment needed and best practices for deployment. The policy aims to reduce restoration times after outages by ensuring resources are ready in advance.
