CEEEP has developed a diverse and growing portfolio of applied research projects, including:

Connecticut Energy Advisory Board
CEEEP and the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON) were recently awarded a project from the Connecticut Energy Advisory Board (CEAB). The CEAB is responsible for assisting Connecticut policy makers in coordinating state and regional interests to address energy issues. The team will conduct a comprehensive review of Connecticut's Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and related renewable energy policies in order to ensure that they are consistent with the current objectives of the State. In addition, the team will seek stakeholder input on the RPS and consult with the Department of Economic and Community Development on potential in-state renewable stimulus benefits. The final report will include recommendations on RPS policies for review and adoption by the CEAB. The project team includes Dr. Frank Felder, Dr. Nancy Mantell, and Dr. Michael Lahr from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Policy and Planning.

New Jersey Energy Data Center
CEEEP is working with the NJ BPU to turn publicly available data into useful and easily accessible information through a web-based energy information portal. This online portal will enable the State to have readily available important NJ-specific energy-related data to serve the State's policymaking needs and will become an important resource in crafting an energy master plan.

Evaluation of the Clean Energy Program
CEEEP is conducting various evaluations of current Clean Energy programs. The assessment includes cost-benefit, sensitivity, and trade-off analyses of programs including targeted reviews of certain technologies. These evaluation and research activities are aimed at providing a yearly feedback loop to policymakers and program administrators.

The PSE&G Energy Technology Demonstration Grant Program
Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) is pleased to announce its Energy Technology Demonstration Grant Program. This Grant Program is open to businesses and organizations in both the private and public sectors of New Jersey. The Program seeks to identify and fund innovative products and services that will enhance New Jersey’s energy economy.

New Jersey Hydrogen Learning Center
The Hydrogen Learning Center project seeks to strengthen the emerging network of hydrogen and fuel cell-related activity in New Jersey to inform policymakers, business leaders, and other stakeholders as they decide on the role hydrogen will play in the State's energy portfolio. The Center is comprised of universities with fuel cell facilities on their campuses. These university partners have developed hydrogen and fuel cell educational modules and hosted stakeholder networking meetings. CEEEP administers the Hydrogen Learning Center's efforts and coordinates its website and quarterly events held throughout the state.

Decoupling Resources
In February 2006, the Center released its report on NJ's Energy Infrastructure as part of its discussions through its Strategic Issues Forum. The report made a number of recommendations, one of which is for a closer examination of Decoupling and its potential impacts for New Jersey's utilities and ratepayers. The issue of decoupling or the related performance based ratemaking has become a hot topic among regulators and energy stakeholders in many states across the nation. This web page was set up to collect in a single place as many of the resources available on the Internet about Decoupling and related subjects as well as to provide information about the Center's upcoming Decoupling Symposium and future activities.
