AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to establish a beneficial building electrification program and requires electric public utilities in the state to prepare and implement building electrification plans. The program aims to promote the transition from non-electric to efficient electric equipment and systems, such as heat pumps and induction cooking ranges, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower costs from a societal perspective, and increase off-peak use of the electric grid. The bill sets targets for on-site greenhouse gas emission reductions, establishes program design elements and cost recovery mechanisms, and directs the BPU to develop incentives for electric heat pump installations.
