NJ SmartStart Buildings
Program Overview
With New Jersey SmartStart Buildings …
A smart start now means better performance later! Whether you’re starting a project from the ground up, renovating existing space, or upgrading equipment, you have unique opportunities to upgrade the energy efficiency of the project.
New Jersey SmartStart Buildings can provide a range of support to yield substantial energy savings, both now and for the future at no cost to you. Financial incentives are available for size projects which can offset some - or maybe even all - of the added cost to purchase qualifying energy-efficient equipment.

Measure incentives are doubled for existing facilities located in an Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ), Opportunity Zone (OZ) or are a K-12 public school or a municipal entity. See details and eligibility requirements on the SmartStart applications linked above.
Revised Application and Eligibility Process for FY20
We have made it even easier to participate! Pre-approval is no longer required for prescriptive measures with the exception of Prescriptive and Performance Lighting and Lighting Controls Applications with an incentive ≥$100,000 and Custom Measures. Please note that anyone who purchases and installs equipment without Program Manager approval does so at his/her own risk.
Customer Tailored Energy Efficiency Pilot Program (CTEEP)
CTEEP supplements the SmartStart program by offering a streamlined approach to developing and implementing energy efficiency projects. Designed for mid to large customers, multiple prescriptive and custom measures may be bundled into one application submission. Learn more.
