“Get Paid to upgrade your lights?”

In most states there are incentive programs in place for consumers looking to upgrade their existing, inefficient, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium and Fluorescent lighting. In 2003, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities established the Office of Clean Energy to administer NJ’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP). The establishment of the NJCEP contributes to a stronger economy, less pollution, lower costs, and reduced demand for electricity. NJCEP offers financial incentives, programs, and services for residential, commercial, and municipal customers.  Click here to learn more about incentives available in New Jersey.

There are programs at the Local, State and Federal levels that encourage energy efficiency with incentives. If your facility plans to do an energy efficient project, do your homework and see what program best suits your needs. For example, say you have a 1 million sqft distribution center located Monroe Township NJ. This facility has 2,500 metal halides(1000w). If you were to retrofit them to a 6 lamp T5HO Hibay fixture(360w), your incentive would be $200 per fixture. So then take 2,500 fixtures times the NJ Clean energy incentive of $200, that comes to $500,000 cash that you can use for your lighting retrofit project. Imagine getting paid to add value to your business, by decreasing your operating cost, you increase your bottom line and this puts a smile on every CFO’s face. This is definitely something that can not be overlooked. Now this is just one example in one state and we understand it may be hard to figure out which incentivie is right for you. So visit the “Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.”(DSIRE) to find more information.
