West Orange Commercial Energy Efficiency
Outreach Campaign
PSE&G Business Energy Saver Program
Direct Install Program
“The Township participated in the Direct Install Program a few years ago to upgrade equipment with energy-efficient features in our municipal buildings. These upgrades helped the Township realize over $100,000 in energy and cost savings. Moving forward, I’ve assembled a framework of community leaders who will be instrumental in this new commercial outreach campaign offering PSE&G’s Business Energy Saver Program, which includes Direct Install. We are excited to work with Sustainable Jersey and PSE&G to make these programs and incentives more accessible to local West Orange businesses. Participation in a free energy audit through this collaborative effort will help the local business community focus on effective energy- and cost-saving measures. Businesses may also be eligible to receive low-interest loans on qualifying Energy Star appliances and equipment”
— Susan McCartney, Mayor
In addition to commercial energy-efficiency outreach, West Orange recently worked with Sustainable Jersey and Montclair State University on a PSE&G Residential Energy Efficiency Savings Program.

About West Orange’s Campaign and PSE&G’s Business Energy Saver Program
West Orange’s energy efficiency campaign, in collaboration with Sustainable Jersey and PSE&G, provides essential resources and guidance to help business owners reduce their energy consumption and implement sustainable practices effectively. This program, which includes the Direct Install Program and incentives for small businesses, can help identify energy-saving opportunities.
PSE&G’s Direct Install Program can uncover hidden facility energy savings that can cut energy costs by as much as 30%. When the work is complete, customers repay as little as 20% of the total project cost—interest-free—over 60 months on their monthly PSE&G bill (or in one lump-sum payment, if preferred).
Financial incentives are available to reduce the upfront cost of installing energy-saving equipment.

About the Sustainable Jersey — PSE&G Energy Efficiency Partnership Program
Sustainable Jersey and PSE&G have launched a partnership to help New Jersey business owners take advantage of state-supported programs. These programs can help lower energy costs by installing energy-efficient equipment and create a safer, more comfortable environment for customers and employees.
In 2018 the New Jersey Clean Energy Act became law. In addition to setting new targets for renewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions, the Act mandated that New Jersey’s public electric and gas utilities implement energy-efficiency programs and meet specific greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
