To align with the pending New Jersey Assembly Bill A-5267 that would require the BPU to establish a transmission-scale energy storage procurement and incentive program, the BPU limited Phase 1 incentives to transmission-scale energy storage systems, directly interconnected to the bulk transmission system.
Total Phase 1 goal is 1,000 MW of transmission-scale storage. The prequalification review for deficiencies for Phase 1 applications opens on June 25, 2025, with a deadline for guaranteed review of July 23, 2025. Final bids are due by August 20, 2025. The BPU will announce awards in October 2025.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved Phase 1 of the Garden State Energy Storage Program (GSESP) after two years of stakeholder engagement. Rules related to the GSESP were also approved for publishing in a future New Jersey Register.
Phase 1 targets transmission-scale, front-of-the-meter energy storage systems. Distributed storage incentives will follow in Phase 2 (expected in 2026). Below is a comprehensive breakdown of what developers need to know.
The Energy Storage Incentive Program described in the Straw Proposal will build a critical foundation for a long-term, cost-effective energy storage effort in the State.
“The Garden State Energy Storage Program is part of our commitment to addressing the causes of rising electric rates, ultimately putting more money back into the pockets of New Jersey families.
