New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for New Jersey Farms Dr Peter Mark Jansson, PP PE Rowan University New Jersey Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, April 20, 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. New Jersey’s Integrated Approach New Jersey is employing an integrated set of Clean Energy Programs to • • • • • • Improve the New Jersey economy Increase New Jersey employment Reduce dependence on fossil fuel Reduce need for imported fuels Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Reduce air contaminant emissions New Jersey’s Integrated Approach New Jersey Clean Energy Programs address: • Efficiency of energy use for residential, commercial and government to lower demand while maintaining service. • Installation of renewable energy technologies that enhance local and regional electricity supply. • Promotion of markets for advanced efficiency and renewable technology to lower the cost of new technologies. New Jersey’s Integrated Approach – Program Goals: • Energy Efficiency (including CHP) and Renewables will provide for growth in energy use by 2012 • 20% annual increase in electric and natural gas saved through energy efficiency • 785,000 MWh of electricity and 0.6 billion cubic feet of gas will be saved through efficiency by 2012 • 300 MW of Class I Renewable Energy facilities including 90 MW of PV will be installed by 2008 New Jersey’s Energy Efficiency Programs for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Sectors New Jersey Clean Energy Programs that have been provided through the New Jersey investor owned utilities will soon be provided by Market Managers working under contract to the State of New Jersey. The programs will be administered by the Office of Clean Energy in the NJ Board of Public Utilities. Entities that pay a utility bill to one of the NJ investor owned electric or gas utilities are eligible for the programs. Customers Served by a Municipal Utility Authority need to determine eligibility by calling the Office of Clean Energy at 973-648-7405.

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’s system RECs have a 1 year life and must be used in the year they are generated plus a 3 month true up period. Current prices for RECs: Landfill Gas REC $5, Wind REC $15, Solar REC $200 New Jersey’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard A Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) provides the basis for Renewable Energy Credits or RECs which gain value from the regulatory requirement that suppliers of electricity in New Jersey include a certain percentage of renewable energy. A Renewable Portfolio Standard specifically for wind supplied electricity would provide a source of capital for wind installations that could supplant the need for rebates. Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent environmental benefits and other attributes associated with electricity generated from a renewable energy generator and may be traded independently of underlying electricity.
