--- Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) is soliciting proposals for emerging energy-saving technologies that have the potential to come to market quickly. Nearly $8 million is available in this solicitation for grants that could pay the total cost of establishing a demonstration project.

PSE&G is partnering with the New Jersey Sustainable State Institute at Rutgers University (NJSSI) on this new Technology Demonstration program, which is part of a $190 million initiative that was approved last summer by the NJ Board of Public Utilities to support the state's economic development goals and bring energy efficiency to utility customers.

The Technology Demonstration Program is open to any organization based in PSE&G's electric and/or gas service area. Energy-saving concepts and technologies in the following areas are eligible for consideration:

--- Green Building and Design
--- Materials Science and Nano-technology
--- Information Systems
--- Process and Manufacturing Technology
--- Industrial Ecology
--- Consumer and Behavioral Psychology

If a proposed product or technology does not fall into one of these categories but would satisfy the goal of the program, applicants should address the eligibility issue in their initial application/letter of intent.

Proposals are due June 4, 2010

--- Connecticut Clean Energy Fund - Geothermal Heat Pump Incentive Program - Residential. Using funds received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) has established a geothermal heat pump incentive program to stimulate the development of renewable energy and green jobs in Connecticut. This program is designed to encourage homeowners, commercial building owners, and real estate developers to consider geothermal heat pumps when planning their HVAC requirements.

There will be a total of $4.5 million in grant funds available for the program between December 2009 and April 2012, when the funds must be fully expended. CCEF anticipates that this level of funding will support the installation of approximately 600 residential and commercial geothermal heat pump systems.
