Order Issued Granting ADI Waiver Requests
In its order the New Jersey BPU ruled on ADI petition requests.
As background this proceeding was initiated to consider waivers related to the Administratively Determined Incentive (ADI) program, the part of the 2021 Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) program was open to residential projects, net metered non-residential projects 5MW or less, and community solar projects.
In the most recent Order the NJ BPU: (1) granted petitions for waivers for 348 projects to participate in ADI despite having received permission to operate prior to receipt of the ADI notice of conditional registration; (2) reiterated the end of EY24 “as an appropriate end point for waiving [these requirements] without a rationale that goes beyond the launch of the ADI Program, COVID-19-related delays, or developer error”; (3) granted petitions for waivers for 13 projects to participate in ADI despite having begun construction prior to ADI registration portal opening; (4) for the same 13 projects, waived SREC-II statutes “to the extent necessary to permit the [15]-year SREC-II qualification life for these projects to commence on [8/28/21], the first day of ADI Program registration opening; and (5) denied petitions for 20 projects seeking “a waiver of the prohibition on exceeding their approved registration capacity by” the lesser of 20% or 25kW, encouraging the petitioners “to withdraw their existing registrations and reregister their projects at their increased size.”
