Expanding Our Reach into New Jersey

Innovative Partnerships for a Sustainable Future

At LPI Energy, we're proud to announce our new role as a Trade Ally Partner with the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. This collaboration brings our sustainable energy solutions to New Jersey, complementing our long-standing services in New York.

Joining the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's CHP initiative signifies our commitment to innovative energy efficiency. CHP technology optimizes on-site power generation and waste heat utilization, contributing to a more sustainable environment and reducing grid dependency. 

We guide our clients in leveraging New Jersey's generous incentives, including up to $50,000 for Feasibility Studies and 30-40% coverage of project costs through State Incentive Funding. These incentives are a cornerstone in advancing CHP and Fuel Cell technologies in New Jersey. 

As part of our expanded services, we now offer comprehensive solutions in installing and managing various clean energy generation systems under the NJCEP, including:

Fuel Cells

Photovoltaics (Solar Electricity)

Small Wind Systems

Sustainable Biomass Equipment

Leonard Powers pursues public incentives and private financing opportunities to support comprehensive energy improvement packages for its clients.

As an Approved Con Edison Market Partner, we assist building owners and managers to gain maximum rebates and financial incentives from City, State, and Federal sources and leverage matching Utility Incentive Programs. Incentives covering up to 50% of the cost to implement Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) are available if such ECMs reduce per-meter energy usage. 

These incentive programs can offset the cost of new energy-efficient equipment and advanced technologies and even assist with technical studies. Clean Energy Solutions such as Cogeneration can also provide utility heating and cooling as well as the benefit of Utility Reliability during power outages.
