01/19/10

  South Jersey Energy Service Plus today announced that the company has been named a preferred contractor for the New Jersey Clean Energy Program’s Direct Install Program.
  “We are proud to help our commercial and industrial customers become more energy efficient,” said SJESP General Manger Jay Beckley. “Initiatives like the Direct Install Program position New Jersey to achieve the ambitious energy goals set forth in the Energy Master Plan and will help ensure a sustainable and reliable energy future for our state.”
  The Direct Install Program is designed to cut energy costs at small- to medium-sized facilities by paying 80 percent of retrofitting costs to replace outdated or obsolete lighting, HVAC and other operational equipment.  
  As one of six preferred contactors in the state, SJESP is the authorized contractor for Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties and can help small-to medium sized businesses occupying a commercial facility take advantage of the Direct Install program. 
  “This program targets the very backbone of our state - small and medium businesses,” SJESP Commercial Sales Representative Robert Senski said. “In addition to demonstrating a commitment to green and efficient operations, companies that participate in the program will see an immediate return on investment through decreased energy costs.”
  To be eligible for the program, commercial and industrial facilities’ peak electrical demand must not have exceeded 200 KW in the past 12 months.
  The program addresses a facility’s lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, natural gas heating equipment, motors and variable frequency drives. Projects typically are completed within 60 days of scheduling an Energy Assessment.

  •   January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
