Section 14:8-9.5 - Project siting requirements

(a) Community solar projects may have subscribers anywhere in the EDC service territory in which they are located, unless they have indicated otherwise in their application to participate in the Pilot Program. Projects that have elected, in their application, to place a geographic restriction on the subscribers to the project must maintain that restriction for the lifetime of the Pilot Project. The Board may consider waiving this restriction during the project's operational period upon special request.

(b) For the purposes of this section, the location of a subscriber and/or a community solar project is identified by the location of its physical utility meter.

(c) The following siting restrictions shall apply to community solar projects:

1. Community solar projects shall not be allowed on preserved farmland.

2. Community solar projects shall not be allowed on land designated as Green Acres preserved open space, or on land owned by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, unless those projects are granted special approval by the DEP.
