How many days do utilities have to appeal municipal actions to the board for public utilities?

Utilities have 35 days to appeal municipal actions to the Board for Public Utilities. This specific timeframe is established by state legislation to ensure that utilities have a reasonable opportunity to challenge municipal decisions that may affect their operations and services. It balances the need for a timely resolution to potential disputes with the recognition that utilities require sufficient time to prepare and present their appeals effectively. This 35-day window allows for an efficient yet fair process in managing appeals, thus promoting orderly and effective regulatory oversight of public utilities in New Jersey.
