The New Jersey DOE has drafted a 10-year master plan aimed at expanding state-wide conservation measures and encouraging the development of more than 2000 MW of cogenerated electricity through a combination of tax incentive and financial assistance programs. Although the plan deals with all sectors of energy use, the focus is on reducing industrial fuel and power costs. The incentives include a five-year exemption of new cogeneration facilities from property taxes, new buy-back rates equal to full avoided costs, and utility tariffs that allow the wheeling of cogenerated power. Part of the relicensing of casino-hotels could be a requirement for investigating the feasibility of installing a cogeneration system.
