N.J. Admin. Code § 14:29-4.2 - Programs to reduce energy consumption

(a) If the PJM independent system operator (ISO) determines that the measures set forth in 14:29-2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, combined with any simultaneous or anticipated relief actions by the PJM independent system operator (ISO) and the New York ISO, do not provide sufficient relief from energy emergency conditions, the electric utilities may take the following actions:

1. Departures from normal operating procedures, which have an acceptable impact on reliability and economy. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

i. Voluntary customer energy reduction programs, as agreed upon from time to time by an electric utility and its customers, shall be placed in effect;

ii. A five percent voltage reduction; and

iii. Other reliability measures which, from time to time, may be authorized by the Board; and

2. Load interruptions, implemented in accordance with a plan filed by each electric utility with the Board in accordance with 14:29-4.1(b).

(b) If an electric utility implements the measures set forth at (a) above, the utility shall inform the Board of the implementation as soon as reasonably feasible and, if possible, prior to implementation of these measures.

(c) The Board may require the electric utilities to take any of the measures at (a) above if necessary to address conditions caused by the energy emergency.
