and rebate magnitude is directly
related to new equipment efficien-
cy and size. Maximum available
rebates for this program are capped
at $500,000 per utility account, and
projects require pre-approval before
purchasing and installation of new
equipment.
Large Energy Users
While most small commercial facil-
ities will not qualify for the Large
Energy Users program, this program
offers huge incentives to some of
the state’s largest energy consumers.
This program offers up to $4 mil-
lion in incentives to customers who
have paid over $300,000 in systems
benefits charges over the previous
fiscal year. Additionally, the facility
must demonstrate an average peak
demand of over 400 kW or 4,000
MMBtu in natural gas consumption.
PJM Demand Response
PJM offers two different demand
response programs currently. Both pro-
grams offer direct payments to qualify-
ing customers based on agreed upon
load reduction steps. Payment magni-
tudes vary depending on whether you
partner in the Economic Load Response
or Emergency Capacity program.
However, you must offer a significant
available load reduction to qualify.

A majority of the available rebate
and incentive programs require the
services of a professional engineering
consultancy in order to provide the
designs, plans, and specifications
necessary to execute energy efficien-
cy projects. It is important that the
engineering consultant you choose
be knowledgeable and experienced
in navigating the available NJECP
programs. No one wants to leave
money on the table, and the right
engineering firm can help you ensure
that this doesn’t happen.
