A public hearing has been scheduled for February 2, 2010 at the BPU Board Hearing Room (Newark, NJ) concerning the rule proposal to remove the 2 MW cap on net metering at N.J.A.C. 14:8-4.3.  However, please note that a new law called the Solar Energy Advancement and Fair Competition Act was passed by the legislature (A3520) and signed into law (P.L. 2009, c. 289) on January 17, 2010.  This new law establishes new solar requirements and, among other things, removes the 2 MW cap.  NJBPU will be convening a stakeholder proceeding to implement the new law.  A final draft of the Assembly Bill (A3520) is attached here for reference.
