BPU approves revisions to 2025–2026 SEP plan for DOE submission
Summary
The board approved staff's recommended modifications to the Division of Clean Energy's 2025–2026 State Energy Program plan and authorized submission of the revised plan to the U.S. Department of Energy to emphasize shovel‑ready projects.
The Division of Clean Energy previously had a SEP plan for 2025–2026 authorized at a $4,787,220 budget level (composed of $3,131,000 in unspent carryover and $1,656,220 in new funding). The U.S. Department of Energy informed staff that the plan would need to be supplemented or revised.
Staff proposed revisions per DOE guidance to allocate funding to shovel‑ready projects to better pursue state priorities while preserving ratepayer funds. The board moved, seconded and approved staff’s recommended modifications and directed staff to submit the revised plan to DOE.
The action authorizes the submission of the modified SEP plan; staff will pursue allocations consistent with DOE guidance and state priorities.
