New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program General OverviewMichael Winka, DirectorLance Miller Chief of StaffNew Jersey Board of Public Utilities Office of Clean Energy Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program is a statewide program administered by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities that promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy for all New Jersey ratepayers including residences, businesses, schools and municipalities. Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s Integrated Approach Goals and Objectives • EE (including CHP) and RE will provide energy growth by 2012 • 20% annual increase in electric and natural gas energy efficiency saving • 785,000 MWh of electricity and 0.6 billion cubic feet of gas will be saved through EE programs by 2012 • 300 MW of Class I RE facilities by 2008 • 90 MW PV by 2008 Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s New Goals and Objectives • 20% reduction in energy use by 2020 • 20% Class I Renewables by 2020 • 2% or 1500 MW solar by 2020 • 20% reduction in 1990 GHG by 2020 • 50% reduction in 2006 GHG levels by 2050 Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007

NJCE Program 2003 – 2008 Annual Reporting and Goals Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s Integrated Approach for Renewable Energy • Net Metering/ • Standard Interconnections • Capital Cost Incentives/Rebates • Portfolio Standard – • Longer term financing Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
Renewable Energy Incentives/Rebates Lower the initial capital cost Improve the payback period to 5-10 years or better – including REC value. 60% of capital cost for up to 1 MW 20% grants - 80% loan for RE Power Plants Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s Net Metering and Interconnections Standards • Up to 2 MW – 125% of Annual Use • Small Commercial Business • Up to 10 MW peak • < 10 kW Inverter-based - No fee • Reduce barriers • Set timeframes for review Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007

The RPS requires all NJ electric supplier to provide a set percentage of their electricity as Class I renewable (wind, solar or sustainable biomass) EY 2005 0.75% including - 4 MW of PV EY 2009 4.0% including by 90 MW of PV EY 2021 20% including 2% solar PV or 1500 MW Bill cost to the average electric residential customer EY 2005 -- $1.40 per year per household EY 2009 -- $4.50 per year per household EY 2021 -- $23.00 per year per household Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard RPS Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
Compliance with NJ’s RPS is through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) issued and tracked through either PJM’s Generator Attributes Tracking System (GATS) or NJCEP’s Behind the Meter system Each MWh of energy produced by a renewable energy generator creates 1 REC. This REC has a unique serial number. When it is traded and used for compliance, it is matched with a MWh or energy supply and retired. In NJ system RECs have a 1 year life and most be used in the year they are generated plus a 3 month true up period Current prices for RECs: LFG REC $5, Wind REC $15, Solar REC $200 NJ’s RE goals will be achieved through the RPS and financed by RECs Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
Renewable Generator: Production of Renewable Energy Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Commodity Electricity Environmental Benefits (S02, NOX,CO2 ) New Jersey REC or Solar REC Electric Supplier: Retires the REC Certificates represent the environmental benefits and other attributes associated with electricity generated from a renewable energy generator . May be traded independently of underlying electricity. Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007

PJM – Environmental Information Systems (EIS launched its Generator Attributes Tracking System (GATS) in Oct 2005 for the Mid-Atlantic States NJ, MD,PA, DE and DC all use GATS for their RPS Compliance Reporting Feb 2006 GATS reported 14,282,070 REC generated during the first 2005 trading period This represents 2.02% of PJM total system mix 82 account holders 734 generators More info available at www.pjm-eis.com New Jersey RECs Reporting in PJM GATS Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
New Jersey’s 20 % by 2020 Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) will require at minimum approximately 4,400 MW of renewable energy capacity and 1500 MW of Solar capacity. NJ cannot simply “buy” our way to the RPS goals by providing rebates or grants to construct this capacity. We must consider other models ….

New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program provides incentives for investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy $492million in energy efficiency investments These investments help to: reduce customers energy bills reduce pollution levels reduce reliance on imported fuels stimulate the local economy and keep energy dollars in the State New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
The programs reduced electrical usage by 1,216,403 MWh over 5 years 243,280 MWH of energy savings per year These savings are equivalent to the electric usage of approximately 135,000 average homes New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
These savings continue over the life of the measures which averages 15 years Savings over the life of the measures: 14,888,209 MWH of energy savings New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
These programs also reduced natural gas usage by 2,048,981 Dtherms per year These savings are equivalent to the annual usage of over 20,000 average homes heated with natural gas Savings over the life of the measures: 38,943,822 Dtherms New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
The programs have also reduced electric demand by 450 MW This has eliminated the need to site, build and operate a mid-sized power plant Reducing demand also improves the reliability of the electric transmission and distribution system New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
Energy efficiency and renewable energy generation also reduce emissions resulting in cleaner air and other environmental and health benefits Annual Emission Reductions: CO2: 317,467 metric tons NOX: 550 metric tons SO2: 1,217 metric tons HG (mercury): 15 lbs New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
Cumulative emission reductions over the life of the measures over the five years of the program: CO2: 13,190,265 metric tons NOX: 21,798 metric tons SO2: 46,283 metric tons HG: 558 pounds New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program2001-2004 Results Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
You can either incorporate more energy efficiency (including increased building energy codes and appliance standards) including combined heat and power and clean distributive and renewable energy into the over energy mix or pay for larger and larger transmission lines into NJ that will move your payments to out of state facilities and out of state jobs with the associated transport of out of state emissions contributing to the reasons NJ does not meet its clean air states putting more pressure on existing NJ business to reduce emissions BOTTOM LINE Clean Air Council Feb 14, 2007
