  2. Extensions The market manager be given authority to grant: • 2nd extensions for private projects • 1st extensions for projects <10kW For active REIP and SRP projects only, not CORE.

  3. Energy Efficiency Requirements

  4. Energy Efficiency • Proof required with final paperwork not before expiration date • Permissible exclusions from Step 2: - where health and safety remediations are required prior to commencing Step 2 as noted on audit - for homes already deemed efficient as noted on audit • No commercial new construction EE program required

  5. Training RequirementsNew Installers • New installers must take program training in 2010 in order to be deemed the payee for a rebate. • “New” installers are defined as those who have completed fewer than 3 installations in NJ. • Customers can still receive rebates if working with a new installer who has not taken the training in 2010. Payee needs to the customer. • The installer needs to send 1 representative, at its option, to the training. The program prefers this individual be the person who will be interfacing most with the NJCEP. If that person leaves the company, a new representative of the company should be sent to the training as soon as possible.

  6. Training RequirementsExisting Installers • Existing installers must attend training in 2010 in order to stay in QA and to be listed as trade ally, but are eligible to be rebate payees regardless of QA/QC status. • Training must be completed by the anniversary date of their attendance in 2009. • Training will begin in Early April 2010

  7. Inspection Fees • Assessed for any 2nd inspection required and any inspections thereafter at a rate of $200 • Treated as a reduction in the rebate payout but not a reduction in the rebate rate • Rebate payments avoided through fees charged will be credited to the relevant program budget • Non-rebated projects not affected.

  8. Non-solar • No custom incentives for biopower projects • Feasibility studies under review • NJREMI eligible equipment under review

  9. Existing FacilitiesMulti-Units

  10. Residential PPA’s • A number of residential PPA providers have entered the NJ market • Current program rules require that residential PPA’s are given $1.00 per watt • Reflect commercial economies of scale and accelerated depreciation • Why should this rate • be increased to $1.75 ? • Should leases be treated • the same as PPA’s ?
