The program provides funding for energy efficiency projects which serve industrial and commercial customers. Created specifically for existing small to medium-sized facilities, Direct Install is a turnkey solution that makes it easy and affordable to upgrade to high efficiency equipment. Direct Install is designed to cut your facility’s energy costs by replacing lighting, HVAC and other outdated operational equipment with energy efficiency alternatives.

Buildings must be located in New Jersey and served by one of the state’s public, regulated electric or natural gas utility companies.
