• Environmental - Well sited and sized systems reduce CO2, SO2 and NOx

• Economic – High efficiency translates into compelling cost savings (average 75% overall CHP efficiency compared to 32% grid electric efficiency and 80% boiler efficiency)

• Resiliency - CHP can also run during a grid outage to provide power to your priority loads

Benefits of CHP

5

Your facility is a good candidate for CHP if…

• Your facility operates for more than 5,000 hours/year

• You have “coincident” electricity and thermal needs throughout the year (including steam, hot water, chilled water, hot air, etc.)

• You have significant annual energy consumption for both electricity and heat (e.g. Electric Utility bill of $5,000 or more per month)

• Your facility has thermal distribution piping:

– Must have: building heating via centralized hot water distribution pipes

– Helpful: building cooling via centralized chilled water distribution pipes

• Your facility has access to natural gas

NJCEP CHP Program Goals

• Increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy to reduce energy cost and consumption for consumers, businesses and government;

• Reducing load on the grid;• Improving the reliability of electricity and fuel supply,

and the delivery of energy services;• Reducing the impacts of energy production and use on

the environment;

• Developing 1,500 MW of CHP generation by 2021.

Footnotes

(1) Incentives for CHP systems greater than 1 MW are tiered. For example, a 4 MW CHP system would receive $0.55/watt for the first 3 MW and $0.35/watt for the last 1 MW. No other incentives are tiered.

(2) In the past, utilities have offered incentives towards CHP and Fuel Cell technologies ranging from $0 to $1,000,000. Although no utility incentives are currently available, should they become available at a later time NJCEP incentives will subsidize utility incentives to bring the combined incentive up to the $/Watt amount shown in the table above, up to the maximum caps listed, to ensure a consistent incentive is paid throughout New Jersey.

(3) Any facility successfully participating in Pay for Performance prior to applying for CHP or Fuel Cell incentives will be eligible for an additional $0.25 per Watt from NJCEP, not to exceed $250,000. This amount is in addition to the “$ cap per project” listed above. The “% of project cost” caps listed above will be maintained.

(4) The maximum incentive will be limited to 30% of total project. This cap will be increased to 40% where a cooling application is used or included with the CHP system (e.g. absorption chiller).

(5) Projects installing CHP, fuel cell, and heat recovery generation will be eligible for incentives shown above, not to exceed the lesser of % per project cap or $ per project cap of the CHP/FC.

Sample Calculation

600 kW Nat Gas Engine w/heat recovery and absorption cooling• Total Installed Cost = $1,200,000• Requested Incentive - 600,000 x $1.00/Watt =

$600,000• Incentive Cap - $1,200,000 x .40 = $480,000• Final Incentive - $480,000

12

Sample Calculation

• 4 MW Nat Gas Engine w/heat recovery for HH & DHW

• Total Installed Cost = $5,000,000• Requested Incentive

– First 3,000,000 x $0.55/Watt = $1,650,000– Second 1,000,000 x $0.35/Watt = $350,000

Final Incentive = $2,000,000• Incentive Cap - $5,000,000 x .30 = $1,500,000• Final Incentive - $1,500,000

Program Process

• Complete and submit CHP/FC Application (Excel-based) per instructions– Accepted on a rolling basis

• TRC (Market Manager) and/or BPU reviews submittal and issues a CHP/FC Incentive commitment– Pre-inspection completed

• Install and commission project within 18 months of CHP/FC approval– Post-inspection completed; invoices reviewed

• Measure performance over 12 month period – Must hit minimum efficiency thresholds; must generate within 20% of

kWh per approved application.
