The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities issued a public notice on June 10, 2024 regarding the Dual-Use Solar Energy Pilot Program. The notice is a request for comments with a deadline of June 24, 2024.
The Dual-Use Solar Energy Pilot Program is designed to encourage the development of dual-use solar facilities and the creation of a new segment of the solar industry in New Jersey that is compatible with the State’s rich agricultural heritage. Specifically, the Pilot Program seeks to demonstrate and study the compatibility of active agricultural or horticultural production and solar photovoltaic infrastructure on the same land/property.
In 2024, the Board will conduct a rulemaking for the Pilot Program and run the first solicitation to select dual-use projects. Prior to issuing a formal rule proposal, and in accordance with the State’s rulemaking procedures established at N.J.A.C. 1:30-5.3(a), Staff is informally seeking input from stakeholders on this preliminary rule draft.
