Review of Proposed Amendments to Reliability and Vegetation Management Standards

Together with subcontractor Charles Salamone, Synapse assisted the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel in reviewing and critiquing the Board of Public Utilities’ proposed rules to update reliability and vegetation management standards. The BPU’s proposed rules would update rules that are currently in place and account for major changes that have occurred in New Jersey, including weather events such as Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Sandy, and the October 2011 snowstorm, as well as rate case outcomes. Project completed October 2015.
