N.J. Stat. § 48:3-77.1: Utilization of locally franchised public utility electric distribution infrastructure.

4. In order to avoid duplication of existing public utility electric distribution infrastructure, and to maximize economic efficiency and electrical safety, delivery of electric power from an on-site generation facility to an off-site end use thermal energy services customer as defined in section 3 of P.L.1999, c.23 (C.48:3-51), shall utilize the existing locally franchised public utility electric distribution infrastructure. The New Jersey electric public utility having franchise rights to provide electric delivery services within the municipality shall provide electric delivery services at the standard prevailing tariff rate that is normally applicable to the individual off-site end use thermal energy services customer.
