S 1901 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires NJ Clean Energy Program incentives be made available to commercial farms.

S 1901 makes commercial farm owners in New Jersey eligible to apply for and receive energy efficiency incentives through the state's Clean Energy Program (NJCEP). The bill requires the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create a program helping farm owners conduct energy audits - assessing energy use and identifying conservation measures - to maximize savings. It also mandates the BPU to publish all available farm-specific incentives online. This addresses a gap where commercial farms were excluded from NJCEP programs (unlike residential dwellings on farms), directly benefiting farm operators seeking to improve energy efficiency.
Issues: ✓ EnergySupports EnergyBill expands access to NJCEP energy efficiency incentives for commercial farms, requires BPU to create farm energy audit programs, and mandates online incentive publishing - directly advancing clean energy infrastructure access.95% confidence ✓ EnvironmentSupports EnvironmentBill expands clean energy access to farms via NJCEP incentives, mandates energy audits for conservation, and addresses exclusion from existing environmental programs, directly promoting clean energy adoption and resource conservation.95% confidence
