The Legislature finds and determines that the prospects of the occurrence of periodic energy emergencies due to the volatility and unpredictability of energy markets necessitates the systematic preparation for such emergencies; that the Department of Energy possesses the expertise and ability to plan for such emergencies; and that formulation of energy emergency preparedness plans will contribute to the security of the State of New Jersey in energy matters.
The Legislature, therefore, declares it to be in the best interest of the citizens of this State to require the Department of Energy to periodically review the situation with regard to the energy preparedness of the State and to prepare and submit a report thereon to the Governor and the Legislature.
