Atlantic City Electric expands energy efficiency programs

Atlantic City Electric is expanding its energy efficiency programs to help customers continue to reduce their energy use and save money.

In January 2025, new programs will be added to the company’s current offerings, providing customers no-cost energy assessments, incentives for efficiency upgrades and a range of other tools to lower energy costs and consumption, AC Electric officials said.

“These energy efficiency programs are one of the many ways we are helping our customers take control of their energy usage and save money,” Atlantic City Electric Region President Phil Vavala said. “In the face of rising costs across the board, we recognize the important role we play in keeping bills as manageable as possible, while offering equitable access to essential services and programs.”

New next-generation programs build on the Atlantic City Electric’s existing energy efficiency programs, including expanding opportunities to limited- and moderate-income households. The enhanced programs include:

  • Building carbon reduction: Provides rebates to residential, multi-family, commercial and industrial customers who choose to switch to electric from fossil fuel-based equipment;
  • Time of use rate pilot: In coordination with our Smart Energy Network initiative, this program helps customers reduce their energy bill by conserving energy during peak energy-use periods;
  • New demand response programs: New programs will provide bill credits to customers that help reduce energy demand during peak energy-use periods;
  • Business energy manager pilot: This program focuses on commercial and industrial customers and offers guidance on low- and no-cost energy-saving strategies and motivates C&I customers to engage in energy-saving behavior through personalized energy reports and a microsite that they can access anytime;
  • HVAC workforce development program: Offers new career opportunities and job training for residents and students across South Jersey, part of Atlantic City Electric’s commitment to develop a diverse energy workforce of the future.
