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 Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

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 Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

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 Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

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 Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

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.

New Jersey Wind Working Group for Terrestrial & Small Wind Energy Systems

•

The Office of Clean Energy through a grant provided by the United States Department of Energy has formed a Wind Working Group to conduct outreach activities on the use of small terrestrial wind systems.

•

The goal of the workshop is to solicit stakeholder input on how best to support and employ terrestrial small wind systems in New Jersey.

•

The NJ Wind working Group will provide input and recommendations to OCE on the support and use of small wind generation systems.

•

New Jersey Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

New Jersey’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard

NJ’s RE goals will be achieved through the RPS and financed by RECs

Compliance with NJ’s RPS is through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) issued and tracked through either PJM’s Generator Attributes Tracking System (GATS) or NJCEP’s Behind the Meter system.

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 Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

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.

New Jersey Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

New Jersey’s Transition to an Open Market RECs based System

• New Jersey’s 20 % by 2020 Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) will require at a minimum approximately 4,400 MW of renewable energy capacity and 1500 MW of Solar capacity. • NJ cannot simply “buy” our way to the RPS goals by providing rebates or grants to construct this capacity. • We must consider other models ….

BOTTOM LINE

New Jersey can either incorporate more energy efficiency (including increased building energy codes and appliance standards) including combined heat and power and clean distributive and renewable energy into the over energy mix or pay for larger and larger transmission lines into NJ that will move your payments to out of state facilities and out of state jobs with the associated transport of out of state emissions contributing to the reasons NJ does not meet its clean air states putting more pressure on existing NJ business to reduce emissions New Jersey Wind & Energy Efficiency Symposium at Rowan College, Glassboro NJ, Dec, 1, 2006
