2Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act of
1999 (EDECA)
- Eliminated traditional retail monopolies
- Consumers can select an energy supplier
- Lower rates are expected over time due to
competition - Immediate and increasing discounts implemented
3Energy Efficiency Energy technologies can mean
buildings that are more
- Energy Efficient
- Reliable
- Cost-effective and
- Environmentally Friendly
4Energy Efficiency Programs Commercial and
Industrial
- Marketed as New Jersey SmartStart Buildings, is
the umbrella name for four individual programs
for targeted market segments - Commercial New Construction
- Commercial Retrofit
- Abbott School
- Non-Abbott Schools
5- The programs are designed to
- Capture lost opportunities for energy efficiency
savings that occur during customer-initiated
construction events (i.e., when customers
normally construct buildings or buy equipment). - Achieve market transformation by helping
customers, designers and specifiers to make
energy efficient equipment specification,
building /system design, lighting design, and
commissioning standard parts of their business
practices. - Stimulate small commercial customer investments
in energy efficiency measures. - Help facilitate effective implementation of New
Jerseys new commercial code and future upgrades
to that code.
6Program Offerings and Customer Incentives
- Prescriptive Efficiency Measure Rebates that
provide fixed incentives for energy efficiency
measures. - Custom Measure Incentives for more complex and
aggressive custom efficiency measures. - Multiple Measure Incentives for the installation
of multiple eligible gas and electric energy
efficiency measures (i.e., two or more of the
following equipment types lighting equipment
and controls, unitary HVAC, chillers, electric
and gas space heating, gas water heating, motors,
and/or variable speed drives).
7Program Offerings and Customer Incentives
(contd)
- Technical Assistance and oversight to help
customers evaluate energy efficiency options,
utilize program offerings and services, and
effectively use performance-contracted services. - Energy Code Technical Support, to assist customer
and trade ally understanding of the requirements
of the states new commercial energy code.
8Commercial New Construction Program
- Incentives for new construction projects are
available only for projects in State designated
Smart Growth area - Design Incentives and Support, including building
simulation, to architects and engineers to
consider and use integrated design approaches
that provide additional, synergistic energy
savings.
9Commercial Retrofit
- Chiller Optimization
- Lighting Remodeling Design
- Compressed Air
- Financial incentives are provided for a) the
technical studies on a cost shared basis and b)
for qualified equipment
10Commercial Retrofit (contd)
- Financial incentives are provided for
- Technical studies on a cost shared basis and
- For qualified equipment.
11Farm Facts
- Nationwide, the agricultural sector accounts for
about three percent of total electricity use - Energy expenses are a significant portion of the
farm budget, accounting for up to 10 percent of
costs - Since operating margins, especially for small
farms, are typically well under 10 percent,
energy costs can have an impact on the survival
of many small farms
12Benefits of Energy Efficiency
- Energy efficiency reduces consumption, which
reduces bills. - Reduces the need for costly electric grid
upgrades, keeps wholesale price of power down. - Energy efficiency promotes job creation.
- Energy efficiency can reduce the high cost of
renewable energy.

14Program Delivery
- The CI Program is currently delivered by the
States seven natural gas and electric utilities.
- In 2004, the CI program manager(s) for each of
the program target segments will implement the
program consistent with - program design
- program eligibility requirements
- equipment baselines and efficiency standards
- incentive levels, for both the core program
offerings and the specialized program paths
