NEEP's efficiency proposals could save NJ consumers $16.8 billion
A NEEP report, "An Energy Efficiency Strategy for New Jersey: Achieving the 2020 Master Plan Goals," released today by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities offers a portfolio of program and policy strategies to achieve the Energy Master Plan 2020 goal while collectively realizing $16.8 billion in net savings.
Calling for the formation of a New Jersey Energy Efficiency Utility, NEEP recommends a comprehensive statewide energy efficiency program complemented by public policies that establish minimum energy requirements for new appliances, and new homes and buildings.
The report, developed with the input of an international team of energy efficiency experts, also suggests that New Jersey foster a market value for energy efficiency by requiring time-of-sale building energy ratings.
