  2. Overall Program Management

  3. NJ Clean Energy Program Background • Introduced in 2001 as part of the NJ Clean Energy Act • Funded from “Societal Benefits Charge” on utility bill • Provides energy efficiency project opportunities for: • Residential • Renewables • Commercial & Industrial

  4. Program Goals • Save energy and lower operating costs • Protect environment and lower emissions • Change the business mindset: • Think high efficiency first • Encourage early retirement of equipment • Increase effective operations and maintenance • Promote renewable energy alternatives

  5. Free Benchmarking Report Benchmarking assessments are designed to help: Understand energy cost trends and consumption at each building Use comparative data to see how building(s) compare to similar buildings using ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager Identify opportunities for improving operations, reducing costs, and getting an energy efficiency project started

  6. Free Benchmarking Report Reports Include: • Building energy usage summary • Data analysis graphs • USEPA Portfolio Manager score (for most building types) • Guidance on NJ Clean Energy Program options • Program application information

  7. To Request Free Benchmarking • Visit NJCleanEnergy.com/BENCHMARKING • Submit the online data collection form • Submit 12 consecutive months of energy data or a signed Fuel/Energy Release Authorization Form

  16. Hurricane Sandy Enhanced Incentives • Incentives are available to New Jersey businesses and local governments located in zip codes that suffered the most damage. • Equipment purchased on or after October 29, 2012 (while funding is available) will qualify. • Eligible zip codes: NJCleanEnergy.com/SANDY Customers outside eligible zip codes, who can demonstrate that they have experienced damaged caused by Hurricane Sandy, may be eligible. To find out if you can qualify call 866-NJ-SMART.

  17. Sandy Enhanced Incentives Prescriptive equipment incentives have been increased by 50% in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. Incentives to upgrade T-12 lighting and 3-phase motors damaged by Sandy will be available until 6/30/13.

  18. Custom Projects Opportunities for other than pre-qualified technologies, for example: • Occupancy controlled ventilation systems • High efficiency transformers First year savings must be at least 75,000 kWh or 1,500 therms of natural gas over the established “base-line” If project qualifies, incentive will be the lowest of: - $0.16 per kWh (or $1.60 per therm of gas) of estimated annual savings - 50% of total project installed cost - Buy down to a one year pay-back

  19. Local Government Energy Audit • This audit is available for municipal buildings, K-12 public schools, county facilities (including county colleges), State colleges and 501(c)(3) non-profit facilities. • Facilities with an annual peak demand below 150 kW will be encouraged to go straight into the Direct Install Program.

  20. Participants select from a list of pre-qualified auditing firms who follow strict parameters to analyze the buildings and prepare the audit report The program subsidizes 100% of the audit cost, subject to an annual $100,000 incentive cap per entity Audit generates a list of recommended, cost-effective energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades to reduce operating expenses Many of the recommended measures are eligible for additional incentives offered by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program Local Government Energy Audit
