Program Savings and Benefits
New Jersey's Clean Energy Program produces significant energy bill reductions for the state's consumers. Over the years, the scope has included energy conservation programs in the mid-'80s to the mandatory Demand-Side Management (DSM) programs to the Standard Offer programs.
The savings identified in the chart below accrue to New Jersey residences and businesses that installed energy efficiency or renewable energy measures in 2011. The energy savings produced by these measures also produce savings on infrastructure costs, reduce congestion on transmission and distribution lines, and increase reliability.
