The New Jersey Clean Energy Education & Outreach Grant Program is funded through the NJ Board of Public Utilities, Office of Clean Energy. The objective of the grant program is to educate New Jersey residents about and to help build a viable customer-driven market for clean energy resources and improved energy efficiency through consumer education.

Installation of energy efficient equipment, adoption of energy-saving practices and renewable energy generation provides New Jersey ratepayers with energy cost savings and offers substantial environmental and public health benefits while helping preserve our natural resources. Together they reduce the need to add conventional power plants while improving overall system reliability.

The goal of this grant program is to educate consumers and generate public interest about the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency and to build and maintain a consumer-driven market for renewable power through consumer education. Consumer education can take many forms, including consumer outreach (brochures, newsletters and other materials distributed through local forums); workshops and public education forums; educational displays and interactive exhibits; public relations activities (news releases); mass media (television, radio or billboard messages); education of children or adults through school programs, or consumer information resources (a 1-800 number or website).
