The New Jersey Wind Program Web page provides information resources for those interested in learning about terrestrial sited, wind generation and financial incentives offered through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. In addition, updates on the New Jersey Wind Working Group, formed to discuss and identify opportunities and barriers associated with small terrestrial wind development in the state, are available.

The Wind Program home page will also be used to report on the status/minutes of the Wind Working Group as it evolves and any upcoming events/meetings. The New Jersey Wind Working Group is facilitated by Dr. Peter Mark Jansson PP PE  of Rowan University and Dr. Michael R. Muller of Rutgers University, and funded by a grant provided by the United States Department of Energy Wind Powering America Program. The goal of New Jersey's Wind Working Group is to address barriers to the deployment of terrestrial-sited wind generation in New Jersey. 

Financial assistance for wind programs is available through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program.

Customer On-Site Renewable Energy (CORE) Program: Attractive consumer rebates are available to residential and business customers to help reduce the initial cost of installing a renewable generation system – such as solar electric, wind, or sustainable biomass. These incentives – which defray the costs of installation, equipment, and interconnection – are paid incrementally based on the size of the system.

Anemometer Loan Program: Funded by a grant provided by the United States DOE Wind Powering America Program, the Office of Clean Energy has partnered with Rowan and Rutgers Universities to implement the New Jersey State Based Anemometer Loan Program, a tool used to assess the wind potential prior to installing small wind generating equipment. For more information regarding this program, email alma.rivera@bpu.state.nj.us or call 973-648-7405, or click here.

Regional Anemometer Loan Program: The purpose of the solicitation is to acquire the services of colleges and/or universities to host and implement several anemometers around the state as well as maintaining them over a 2-year period. The data collected will provide customers, as well as the New Jersey Clean Energy Program staff, the necessary information when considering the funding of requests for wind turbine equipment at site specific locations in the state.
