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
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
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
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
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
