This bill mandates the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at identifying and quantifying short-term solutions that would enhance the reliability of the electrical transmission and distribution system, allowing it to accommodate greater power from distributed energy generation sources. The BPU is tasked with exploring various potential solutions, including enabling electricity flow from the distribution system to the transmission system, requiring solar inverters and energy storage systems to utilize technology for managing reactive power, and ensuring solar photovoltaic systems can adjust their output based on weather predictions.

Following the study, the BPU must submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature within one year, detailing its findings and recommendations for legislative or regulatory actions. Additionally, the BPU is required to adopt rules and regulations to implement these recommendations within a year of the report's submission, starting with a pilot program in select regions before considering statewide implementation if the pilot proves successful.
