New Jersey's Clean Energy Program, administered by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy including solar, wind, geothermal, and sustainable biomass. The result for New Jersey is a stronger economy, less pollution, lower costs, and reduced demand for electricity. New Jersey's Clean Energy Program offers financial incentives, programs, and services for residential, commercial, and municipal customers.

GOVERNANCE & STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION

In 2003, the BPU established a Clean Energy Council (CEC) comprised of a cross section of government and industry representatives, energy experts, public interest groups, and academicians to engage stakeholders in the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's development and to advise the BPU on its administration. The Council provides input to the BPU regarding the design, budgets, objectives, goals, administration, and evaluation of New Jersey's Clean Energy Program.  The meetings are open to the public and all are invited to participate.

The Council is organized into three main committees; Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Marketing and Communications, that meet regularly and are open to all interested parties. Meeting information is provided on the Committee Meeting page.

NEW JERSEY'S CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE

Today, New Jersey's Clean Energy Program is recognized as a national model for programs that spur market development and adoption of clean, renewable energy technologies, managing programs to encourage energy efficiency, and assistance for low-income consumers.
