New Jersey (NJ) data center power coverage
Real, sourced large-load tariff and interconnection research on file for New Jersey — never inferred, never scraped, never implied beyond what's actually been checked.
Large-load tariffs
PSE&G (New Jersey) -- state-mandated large-load tariff, not yet filed
Threshold50 MW or more (per S731)
StatusPSE&G (New Jersey) -- state-mandated large-load tariff, not yet filed: S731 directs the BPU to require every NJ electric utility to file a dedicated large-load data-center tariff within 180 days of the Act's effective date. As of this research, no specific utility's own filed tariff was confirmed -- PSE&G alone already serves 40 data-center sites with 297 MW combined summer peak demand, giving real scale to why this mandate exists.

Interconnection & regulatory guidance
New Jersey — statewide data-center tariff mandate (S731)
Contact guidanceNo dedicated New Jersey utility large-load tariff is on file here yet (PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric each differ) -- contact the serving utility directly for interconnection process. Separately, confirm current bill status before relying on this: as of this research S731 had passed the Legislature but was still awaiting Gov. Sherrill's signature.
ThresholdApplies to data centers with capacity of 50 MW or more.
ProcessS731 (replacing an earlier 2024 version pocket-vetoed by then-Gov. Murphy) directs the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to require every electric public utility to file an application establishing a dedicated large-load data-center tariff within 180 days of the Act's effective date. Stated purpose is explicitly to protect non-data-center ratepayers from cost increases tied to new data-center load, and to incentivize data-center energy efficiency (including heat-capture/reuse technology). For context: PSE&G alone already serves 40 data-center sites with a combined summer peak demand of 297 MW, and has updated its own planning methodology to account for this legislation and for new Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) impacts.

Bill text itself (pub.njleg.state.nj.us) not independently re-read for final signed form during this research -- confirm signature/effective-date status directly before relying on the 180-day filing clock.
