Economic Impacts of Proposed 20% Renewable Energy Standards
In April 2003, New Jersey's Renewable Energy Task Force issued a recommendation that by 2020 the state should acquire 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind, renewable biomass, landfill gas, geothermal, or tidal sources. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities asked CEEEP to analyze the economic impact of this proposed Renewable Portfolio Standard, examine whether the 20 percent goal was a viable standard, and determine an appropriate mix of renewable sources. The analysis was published at the end of 2004.
New Jersey and the Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen is playing a central role in future energy policy at the federal and state levels. The Fund for New Jersey and New Jersey Board of Public Utilities asked CEEEP to explore opportunities and options for New Jersey so policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders can make informed decisions about what role, if any, hydrogen should play in New Jersey energy policy. The report was published on July 21, 2004.
Electric Distribution Company Reliability Standards
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities engaged CEEEP to undertake research regarding state policy to establish reliability standards for electric distribution companies.
Support for Clean Energy Council
The Council advises the BPU on applying more than $100 million collected annually from New Jersey utility ratepayers to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities asked CEEEP to support the Clean Energy Council by providing meeting space, logistical support and administrative assistance as needed.
Distributed Energy Resources Study
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, CEEEP is contributing to a study of distributed energy resources in New Jersey and the surrounding region.
