New Jersey's Clean Energy ProgramTM is making renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, and biomass affordable, practical, and just plain smart!

Renewable Energy Incentive Program

The Renewable Energy Incentive Program (REIP) provides incentives that reduce the upfront cost of installing renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, and sustainable biomass.  Incentives vary depending upon technology, system size, and building type*.  Current incentive levels, participation information, and application forms can be found here.

*  Non-residential solar projects larger than 50 kW are not eligible for this program and must enroll in the SREC Registration Program.

SREC Registration Program

Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) represent all the clean energy benefits of electricity generated from a solar energy system.  SRECs can be sold or traded separately from the power, providing owners a source of revenue to help offset the cost of installation.  All solar project owners in New Jersey with electric distribution grid-connected systems are eligible to generate SRECs.  Each time a system generates 1,000 kWh of electricity an SREC is earned and placed in the customer's account on the web-based SREC tracking system.

The Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) Registration Program (SRP) is used to register the intent to install non-rebated solar projects in New Jersey.  Registration of the intent to participate in NJ's solar marketplace provides market participants with information about the pipeline of anticipated new solar capacity and insight into future SREC pricing.  To learn more about SRECs and how they are generated visit the SREC Registration Program page.

*Projects developed through the REIP do not need to enroll in this program, but will still be eligible to register with the SREC tracking system upon system completion.

Getting Started with Wind and Biopower

Invest in Wind and Biopower.  Take advantage of rebates of up to $3.20 per kWh on small wind and up to $4.00 per watt for biopower systems through the Renewable Energy Incentive Program.  Learn more about the Anemometer Loan Program to assess the wind potential of your non-residential location or site.
