By Board Order dated July 28, 2021, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has established a new Successor Solar Incentive Program, also known as the “SuSI Program”. The SuSI Program implements the Clean Energy Act of 2018 (L. 2018, c.17) and the Solar Act of 2021 (L. 2021, c. 169). The SuSI Program provides incentives to eligible solar facilities to enable the continued efficient and orderly development of solar renewable energy generating sources throughout the state.

The SuSI Program replaces the SREC Registration Program (SRP), which was closed to new registration on April 30,2020 pursuant to the Clean Energy Act, and the Transition Incentive (TI) Program, which provided a bridge between the Legacy SRP and the SuSI Program.

The SuSI Program is comprised of two sub-programs:

     1. The Administratively Determined Incentive (ADI) Program provides administratively set incentives for net metered residential projects, net metered non-residential projects of 5 MW or less, all community solar projects.

     2. The Competitive Solar Incentive (CSI) Program will be open to qualifying grid supply installations and non-residential net metered solar installations with a capacity greater than five (5) megawatts ("MW") and eligible grid supply solar installations in combination with energy storage.
