Clean Energy Rebate Program<br />

www.njcep.com/html/2_incent.html<br />

New Jersey’s 1999 electricity restructuring legislation provides for investments in energy<br />

efficiency and renewable energy through the "Societal Benefits Charge" collected from<br />

all electric public utility customers. In March 2001, the New Jersey Board of Public<br />

Utilities approved funding for renewable energy programs, including a customer-sited<br />

renewables rebate program for homes, businesses, institutions and non-profit facilities.<br />

Eligible technologies include fuel cells, photovoltaic, small wind and or sustainable<br />

biomass technologies. Systems must include at least a five-year, all-inclusive warranty.<br />

Eligible systems should be sized to produce no more than 125% of the historical or<br />

expected (if new construction) amount of electricity consumed at a system's site.<br />

Financial incentives for systems larger than 1 MW are available through the state's<br />

Renewable Energy Project Grants and Financing Program.<br />

Combined Heat & Power 2006 Program<br />

www.njcleanenergy.com/html/Combined/combined.html<br />

This program offers qualifying customers, contractors, and energy service companies<br />

incentives to purchase and install various types of CHP units. To qualify, the customer's<br />

facility must be located in New Jersey, and the customer must purchase electricity from<br />

the utility grid. Incentives are paid out only up to 1MW of capacity. Any portion of a<br />

customer's load that is committed to an interruptible or peak load reduction program is<br />

not eligible for incentives. However, these customers can seek incentives for generation<br />

capacity to cover their uncommitted load.<br />

<strong>Fuel</strong> cells not fueled by Class I renewable fuel qualifies for a $4.00/W incentive not to<br />

exceed $1 million per applicant.<br />
