Harnessing wind power  The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has chosen Garden State Offshore Energy (GSOE) (a joint venture of PSEG Renewable Generation and Deepwater Wind) as the preferred developer of a 350-megawatt wind farm off the coast of New Jersey.  The 350 MW wind farm will generate clean energy and jobs for New Jersey and is located 16 to 20 miles from the New Jersey coast. The project is expected to have little impact on the environment or ocean views.  As the preferred developer, GSOE will proceed with evaluation of the project’s environmental impacts and wind resources quality as well as begin the permitting process at both the state and federal levels.

Encouraging solar energy  New Jersey has more solar installations than any other state in the nation, except for California. Customer rebates, solar renewable credits (SRECs) plus an innovative net metering billing arrangement supported by PSEG make solar power feasible and appealing to customers such as the Bayonne High School and Bayonne Board of Education in New Jersey. PSE&G also received approval to expand our Solar Loan Program by approximately $143 million to finance the installation of an additional 51 megawatts of solar energy systems on homes, businesses and municipal buildings throughout its electric service area. >>  PSE&G’s Solar 4 All™ program will install, own and operate 80 MW (dc) of solar panels. The program is divided into two segments, pole mounted solar and centralized solar (each segment is 40 MW).  Read more about PSE&G’s Solar 4 All™ Program >>
		PSEG works closely with customers such as the Bayonne Board of Education and High School who want to install solar energy.

Improving energy storage 
Energy storage technologies can improve the economic operation of large wind and photovoltaic energy generation systems by leveling the power output from these inherently variable power sources. That’s a major reason PSEG supports the research by the Electric Power Research Institute in this area. With this knowledge, PSEG expects that renewable energy sources can become a more integral part of the national power grid. 

Biomass power and hydro power
The Bridgewater Generating Station in New Hampshire generates 16 MW of electricity using biomass fuel in the form of wood chips which originate as low value forestry waste from the regional logging industry.  PSEG Global is also a part owner of the Conemaugh 15 MW hydroelectric power plant in Pennsylvania. >>

Biodiesel vehicles
By switching our fleet of 1,700 diesel-powered vehicles to biodiesel fuel four years ago, we have reduced our carbon emissions by 20 percent. In total, we’ve avoided emitting over 9,300 tons of carbon dioxide since 2003.

Wood chips are the main source of fuel for PSEG's Bridgewater biomass plant in New Hampshire. 

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
Through the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), PSE&G is helping fund development and testing of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles manufactured by Ford and General Motors. As a principle advisor to EPRI, PSE&G' s investigation team will then evaluate using these vehicles to reduce carbon emissions from its fleet.

New Jersey's Renewable Energy Incentive Program
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Clean Energy Program offers the new Renewable Energy Incentive Program for 2009.  The program provides incentives and support services needed for participants to build onsite renewable energy projects using solar, wind and biopower technologies.
