New Jersey Board of Public Utilities: NJ Clean Energy Program (NJCEP) encourages energy-efficient new construction of commercial and industrial facilities and offers various financial incentives for building owners, designers, and architects to adopt cost-effective, energy-efficient design choices in qualifying new construction and substantial renovation projects (Equipment Upgrades, In-Store Discounts, Appliance Rebates, Appliance Recycling). By providing incentives to support design beyond the minimum efficiency required by building codes, NJCEP aims to produce the most efficient buildings.
Incentives are available up to $500,000 per electric account and $500,000 per natural gas account per FY. If an entity brings more than one project in any given FY, it will be held to an Entity Cap of $4,000,000 for that FY.
The program runs through June 30th of every calendar year, but incentive requests must be made no more than a year after work has been completed.
