NJ S3944

Expands allowable uses of renewable energy systems (biomass, solar, wind) on preserved farmland in New Jersey to include providing power or heat to adjacent properties that serve as the primary residence of the farm's owner or operator.

Amends P.L.2009, c.213 (C.4:1C-32.4), which currently limits renewable energy generated on preserved farmland to on-farm use, net metering, or reducing farm energy costs.

Maintains existing requirements that renewable energy facilities must not significantly interfere with agricultural production, be owned by the landowner (or purchased through installer agreements), and be limited to either last year's energy demand plus 10% or occupy no more than 1% of farm area.

Requires the State Agriculture Development Committee to adopt rules and regulations implementing the new provisions through the Administrative Procedure Act.
