New Jersey’s major utility companies provide a number of incentives, including rebates for the installation of high efficiency equipment and rate discounts or waivers for businesses that build or expand into targeted urban centers. Electric credits may be available to firms that lease or purchase, and occupy, a minimum amount of vacant space as designated by the utility.
 

To qualify for this special reduced rate a new or existing PSE&G customer with a single service connection must be located within the municipal boundaries one of the following cities:

Each Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) customer will be required to submit a signed Application for Area Development Service to obtain this rate. To be eligible for credits under this special provision, new and existing customers must meet minimum load conditions.

• In the case of existing customers, a base year period consisting of twelve Monthly Peak Demands in kilowatts will be determined by Public Service and must be agreed to by the customer prior to institution of any credits.
   
• For existing customers, the average twelve-month minimum load must be no less than 50 kilowatts of applicable Monthly Peak Demand during the previous twelve months.
   
• To qualify for credits, existing customer Monthly Peak Demands must be at least 125% for three consecutive months after PSE&G’s acceptance of an application.
   
• For existing customers who operate under the minimum load an addition of at least 50 kilowatts of applicable Monthly Peak Demands in comparable months of the previous 36 months is required to qualify for credits.
   
• For new customers, the minimum load must be no less than 25 kilowatts of the applicable Monthly Peak Demand.
   

Credits begin the first month after qualification.
