Per N.J.A.C. 14:8-9.6(l), local governments are also permitted to create and manage “municipal community solar automatic enrollment projects”, in which the Local Unit will identify and enroll LMI subscribers who reside within the municipality for the projects without affirmative consent of the customer. As opposed to affirmative consent, subscribers are given the opportunity to “opt-out” before being automatically enrolled. To serve these residents, the Local Unit must subscribe them to a CSEP-eligible solar project to generate Community Solar credits to be provided to the residents in the form of discounts on their electricity costs.[1] [1]https://cleanenergy.nj.gov/programs/solar/community-solar-energy-program-csep
