Direct Current Fast Charging Per Plug Incentives

The DCFC Incentive Program addresses cost barriers and encourages DCFC deployment by lowering operating costs through demand and capacity charge relief. This short-term solution supports charging stations until usage increases to levels where such support can be lowered or eliminated.

Rockland Electric offers two programs: DCFC Per Plug Incentive and DCFC Per Plug Incentive – Basic Generation Service. Eligible stations may participate in both programs.

How to Get Started

Each plug that meets the requirements of one or both of the programs is eligible for an annual incentive payment.

DCFC Per Plug Incentive Program:

• May offset up to 75% of a participant’s demand charges, subject to the annual cap set forth below.
• Participants are required to take service under a demand-based tariff.
• Payments are made annually through the end of the program --December 18, 2026

DCFC Per Plug Incentive – BGS Program:

• May offset up to 75% of a participant’s capacity charges, subject to the annual cap set forth below.
• Participants are required to take service under the BGS-CIEP tariff and use energy supply from Rockland Electric and not from a third-party supplier.
• Payments are made annually through end of the program – May 31, 2026

What’s Required for Participation in Either Program:

• DCFC plugs must be standard
• DCFC equipment must be connected to an AMI (smart meter) with no other equipment connected
• To receive DCFC incentives, customers must agree to permit Rockland Electric to share their AMI data, related to the meter associated with their DCFC, with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on a confidential basis, as part of program reporting
• Participants must guarantee public accessibility and operational functionality in a manner consistent with the definitions for publicly accessible plug and operational requirements
• The number of plugs eligible for the incentive will be defined as those plugs capable of simultaneously charging at 50 kW or greater
• If development of a DCFC site causes Rockland Electric to incur new business costs greater than the cost that would be incurred to develop a site with a maximum demand of 2MW, the incentive will be lowered and capped at the 2MW new business cost
• Plugs must comply with Federal Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines, and must be listed on the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fueling Station Locator
