AI Summary

  • Allows New Jersey boards of education to include the current value of SREC-IIs (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates II) in cost-benefit calculations when determining whether energy savings improvement programs (ESIPs) will generate sufficient savings to cover program costs.

  • Amends P.L.2009, c.4 (C.18A:18A-4.6), which governs energy savings improvement programs for school districts, charter schools, county vocational schools, and other educational boards.

  • Maintains the existing prohibition on including original SRECs in energy savings calculations, as those certificates had fluctuating values based on supply and demand, while SREC-IIs provide a fixed price.

  • Applies to all qualifying boards of education seeking to implement energy conservation measures through ESIPs, including renewable energy facilities, combined heat and power systems, and building efficiency improvements.
