Government Energy Aggregation Program
Welcome to the City of Hoboken’s Renewable Energy Program web page. In May 2018, the City of Hoboken adopted Ordinance #18-294 authorizing the establishment of the Renewable Energy Program for the purpose providing more clean, green energy at a lower electricity price than what PSE&G is currently offering. This program is a major step toward achieving the City’s goal of reaching net-zero energy by 2030, as established by Hoboken’s Climate Action Plan.
On August 18, 2021, an electricity supply auction was held and the City of Hoboken signed a contract with Direct Energy to provide an additional 10% renewable electricity (like solar and wind) as the Standard Offering. In this program, PSE&G will continue to distribute residents’ electricity and will remain their utility, but residents will buy their electricity supply through the Hoboken Renewable Energy Program. The program also offers residents the option to choose to have 100% of their electricity derived from renewable sources.
Program Options & Pricing
Residents who decide to participate in Hoboken’s Renewable Energy Program have access to an online savings tool which will provide each participating resident with their monthly usage total, comparison of charges through the program versus PSE&G’s Basic Generation Service price, and usage trends. Residents also have the ability to opt-in and opt-out of the program online and can switch between the different renewable energy options available through the program. More information about how to access these online features is provided in the video posted below under “Communications”. A program information packet is also posted under “Communications”.
Residents can call 866-688-5197 with questions about the program and for additional information about the City of Hoboken’s Renewable Energy Program.
