New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity to participate in the new Pay for Performance Program.

What is Pay for Performance?
The Pay for Performance Program comprehensively addresses the energy efficiency needs of the Commercial and Industrial sector by working with participants, such as developers, building owners and their representatives, to improve energy efficiency of commercial and industrial buildings. The Pay for Performance Program is comprised of an Existing Buildings component and a New Construction component.

How do I get involved?
A critical component of Pay for Performance is the development of a network of Program Partners.

In order to become a Partner in the Pay for Performance Program you must fill out and submit an application package by February 5th, 2010. If you miss this deadline, applications will be accepted on a quarterly basis thereafter unless otherwise specified. The Partnership Agreement and the Submission Requirements listed within the agreement will act as your application to become a Partner of the Pay for Performance Program.

You may submit an application package for either the Existing Buildings component or the New Construction component or both.

Who can qualify to become a Partner?

Experience with energy auditing and building energy modeling is required. The qualifications are described in detail in the Partnership Agreement.

How will I get paid?
As a Pay for Performance Partner, you will work directly with the Program Participant and negotiate applicable fees. All Program incentives will be paid directly to the Participant. Partners will be paid by the Participants, NOT by the Program.
