What happened
New Jersey regulators proposed an initial procurement of up to 150 MW of behind-the-meter battery storage, with a maximum annual incentive of $200 per kW for qualifying resources over a ten-year period.
What this means for homeowners
If implemented, the program could add a meaningful new revenue stream for qualifying home batteries in New Jersey. It should be evaluated alongside installation cost, utility-specific programs and the private backup value of the battery.
Key points
- The first block targets up to 150 MW of customer-sited storage.
- The proposal includes a maximum annual incentive of $200/kW over ten years.
- Future blocks may use different compensation and operating frameworks based on early program results.
