7. The required wind resource (>11mph) is along the shore and highlands.
Best example of installed project is at ACUA, similar interest building among at other coastal municipalities
Small wind projects have run into home rule issues; first model ordinance adopted by Ocean Gate.
2009 REIP has dedicated $7.5M to small wind projects.
REIP supports Behind the Meter (BTM) projects
Rule changes required to support Group Net Metering and Community Wind
Offshore wind evaluation is underway (summary on NJCEP and NJDEP websites) ACUA is only installed project to speak of. ACUA is only installed project to speak of.
8. NJ Class I Renewable Energy
Solar technologies, photovoltaic technologies, wind energy, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, geothermal technologies, wave or tidal action,
and/or methane gas from landfills or a biomass facility, provided that the biomass is cultivated and harvested in a sustainable manner.
Types of class I renewable energy that qualify for use in meeting the requirements of this subchapter are set forth at N.J.A.C. 14:8-2.5.
9. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
One REC certificate given per MWh of solar electricity produced
Certificates traded on the open market
RECs ultimately are purchased by the power generators (Load Serving Entities - LSE) to offset their requirement to produce Clean Energy
Class 1 REC value significantly less than Solar REC
REIP Overview
10. Net-Metering and Interconnection Standards Interconnection
State regulations that permit small generators (< 2MWs) to be installed behind the meter.
These generators cannot be sized to over produce based on current site consumption.
Mandates that utilities connect them to the grid.
Net-Metering
State regulations that allow interconnected generators to offset their electric consumption with an on-site resource.
Allows production of electricity beyond site consumption to be sold to the grid and be compensated at the wholesale price of energy.

12. New Jersey Wind Resources
13. Output as a Function of Wind Speed
14. Output as a Function of Tower Height
16. EPBB Incentive levels
This is different than the previous wind incentive level which was calculated on the capacity of the system.
Factors included in calculating annual input
Location specific wind speed
Hub Height
Obstructions within 500 feet ACUA is only installed project to speak of. ACUA is only installed project to speak of.
17. Wind Program Incentive is calculated based upon Expected Performance Based Buy-down (EPBB).
Expected performance based on output
Specific turbine
Specific site
How does the EPBB work?
Performance calculator calculates output for a given location
Input parameters
Wind speed at 50m
System hub height
Turbine power curve
The EPBB is designed to produce higher rebates for project which maximize power production
More closely calibrates with goals defined in the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and the Energy Master Plan (EMP). ACUA is only installed project to speak of. ACUA is only installed project to speak of.

19. Wind turbine equipment currently accepted by the program:
If a wind turbine is not presently accepted by the program the following information must be provided
Power curve based on one year of actual energy production data
Engineering certification form the manufacturer based on the power curve from an independent third party
To apply to the program applicant must complete a pre-application for guidance purposes ACUA is only installed project to speak of. ACUA is only installed project to speak of.
