The Division of Public Participation (DPP) was established through legislation enacted in November 2024, An Act Promoting a Clean Energy Grid, Advancing Equity, and Protecting Ratepayers. DPP’s mission is to inform, educate, and amplify public voices in decision-making processes.
DPP is responsible for:
1. Assisting stakeholders participating in proceedings before the DPU and the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB or Siting Board) by helping them navigate outreach and community engagement requirements and facilitating dialogue among stakeholders.
2. Administering the Intervenor Support Grant Program, which provides financial assistance to eligible groups to enhance their ability to participate effectively in DPU and EFSB proceedings.
3. Developing and implementing policies, practices, and programs that advance environmental justice and promote meaningful public participation.
