yes, Virginia, YOu Can Get There From Here:~1 New Jersey's New Policy Framework For Guiding Ratepayer-Funded Efficiency Programs

摘要

Several states have recently enacted utility restructuring legislation that requires electric and gas utilities to collect a system benefit charge (SBC) to fund energy-efficiency and renewable energy programs for several years or longer. New Jersey is one of the first states to develop a comprehensive plan for how to invest these funds int he newly competitive energy industry. In the course of developing this plan, efficinecy advocates have begun to work with utilities and utility regulators to craft a new policy framework in which to set energy-efficiency program priorities and guide program planning. implementation, and evaluation.
