New Jersey Energy Storage Policy and Market Overview

New Jersey has taken significant strides in stimulating a competitive energy storage market and has foundational policy, programs, and funding partners to reach energy storage milestones. Despite recent lags in progress, state legislators are finalizing the critical scaffolding supporting the energy storage through robust BTM and FTM incentives.

New Jersey became the 4^th state to adopt an energy storage procurement policy with a mandate set at 2,000 MW by 2030 (A.B. 3723). The state is making progress towards this goal and has about 90 MW of storage. In 2022, the state proposed the New Jersey Energy Storage Incentive Program (SIP). As of 2024, the state BPU is actively navigating program rate design, adders, and utility feasibility for BTM and FTM incentives. Externally offered energy storage funding opportunities are available in New Jersey but have limited funds, narrow scopes, and asymmetrical funding windows.

New Jersey’s energy storage market has the optimal foundation to expand and attain the procurement mandate. The establishment of incentives programs will shift the market into a competitive atmosphere and aid both utilities and residential customers in successful deployment.
