The SAVEGREEN Project® by New Jersey Natural Gas Earns 2023 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award

New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) is pleased to announce its energy-efficiency program, The SAVEGREEN Project®, has received the 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

“Energy efficiency is an important first step to creating a clean energy future,” said Steve Westhoven, president and chief executive officer of New Jersey Natural Gas. “Last year alone, The SAVEGREEN Project helped achieve energy savings of nearly 3.5 million therms and reduced CO2 emissions by over 18,500 metric tons. To have SAVEGREEN recognized by the EPA and DOE as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year is a testament to our team and ongoing comment to energy efficiency.”

“As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change, public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of our ambition,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “I applaud this year’s ENERGY STAR award winners for working with the EPA to deliver a clean energy future that saves American consumers and businesses money and creates jobs.”

Each year, the ENERGY STAR program honors a select group of businesses and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the transition to a clean energy economy. ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in the production, sale and adoption of energy-efficient products, homes, buildings, services and strategies. These efforts are essential to fighting the climate crisis, protecting public health and creating a cleaner energy future for everyone.

Winners are selected from a network of thousands of ENERGY STAR partners. For a complete list of 2023 winners and more information about ENERGY STAR’s awards program, visit energystar.gov/awardwinners.

Since 2009, NJNG has invested nearly $295 million in energy-efficiency programs through The SAVEGREEN Project®, including on-bill repayment and whole house solutions, and helped over 86,500 customers save energy and money, while reducing emissions.
