FAQ
Is energy benchmarking required in New Jersey?
Yes. Under the Clean Energy Act of 2018, commercial buildings over 25,000 square feet must benchmark their energy and water use each year through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. The NJ Board of Public Utilities notifies covered owners.
What is a Local Government Energy Audit (LGEA)?
The LGEA program, offered through the NJ Clean Energy Program, provides energy audits for local government agencies, public schools, and certain nonprofits, with the audit cost largely subsidized by the state.
What does an ESIP project require?
An ESIP project begins with an investment-grade energy audit. The results form an Energy Savings Plan, which must be verified by a third party before the public entity approves financing and construction.
Which New Jersey utilities offer incentives?
Efficiency programs are run by the state's electric and gas utilities, including PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, Rockland Electric, New Jersey Natural Gas, South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas, alongside NJ Clean Energy Program offerings.
