Honeydew in New Jersey

Everything we manage for a New Jersey building.

Compliance is how most clients meet us. Verification, supply where the market allows it, solar screening and bill auditing are why they stay.

No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
What we run in New Jersey
Compliance Annual benchmarking 25,000 sq ft and up, filed with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
Deadline July 1, annual Statewide date, same for every covered building.
Verification Not required today We still verify floor area, because every metric here is per square foot.
Energy supply and procurement Deregulated Electricity and natural gas are both competitive in New Jersey, so supply can be bid.

Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.

How the pieces fit together in New Jersey.

A covered building in New Jersey is dealing with an annual filing, a set of local rules that change more often than anyone expects, and a capital plan that has to satisfy an owner or a board. Handled separately, those generate vendors who do not talk to each other.

We are the accountable partner across all of it. We are not engineers and we do not pretend to be. We make sense of the rules, verify the data, bring in the right specialists, and give the building a plan it can act on.

The practical benefit is that the data gets built once. The same verified floor area and clean utility record that drives your compliance position also drives a supply bid, an incentive application, or a solar screening.

Local detail that changes the answer
Tax class drives coverage
New Jersey looks at MOD-IV class rather than how the building is owned, which is why condominiums and cooperatives are out.
No fines today
The Board currently imposes no penalties, so nobody should be selling you New Jersey filings on fear. The obligation still stands and non-filing still shows in the record.
Supply is the upside
With both fuels competitive, most New Jersey clients get more measurable value from procurement than from the filing itself.
The services behind this page

How we start

Deadline work first. Everything else on your schedule.

1
Position review
Coverage, current data, floor area, and what is outstanding.
2
Close the compliance gap
Filings, verification where it applies, and any notice response.
3
Review energy supply and procurement
Rate class, contract end dates, and whether competitively bidding your energy supply makes sense this year.
4
Screen the opportunities
Incentives, solar, audits, and measures that also improve the compliance position.
5
Manage it forward
One point of contact, one set of numbers, and reminders that arrive before the deadline.
Why now

No fines today, but the record still matters.

New Jersey is unusual in that the Board currently imposes no penalties for non-filing. We will not pretend otherwise to create urgency.

What accumulates instead is a gap in the record. Lenders, buyers and appraisers ask for benchmarking history, and a building with none is answering that question from scratch at the worst possible moment.

Received a letter?

What a New Jersey letter usually means.

The Board currently imposes no fines, so a New Jersey letter is about the record rather than money.

Send us the letter
Covered building outreach
You are on the state list and a filing is outstanding. Condominiums and cooperatives are not covered, so the first check is whether the list is simply wrong.
Data request or utility notice
Usually about aggregate data access rather than a violation. It is the easy kind.

Send us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.

Questions about each of these services

With whatever has a date on it. Usually that is the filing or the standard, and the supply and advisory work follows once the compliance position is clean. We would rather earn the second engagement than bundle it.

Yes, and we do it constantly. A clear thirty-minute presentation is often what unlocks a decision.

Not in New Jersey. Coverage is driven by MOD-IV tax class rather than ownership form, and condominiums and cooperatives are not covered. If you have received something that suggests otherwise, send it to us and we will read it.

Nothing binding is in force today. Benchmarking is the obligation, and the data you file now is what any future standard would be measured against.

No. The utility still delivers the energy and still sends the bill in most arrangements. What changes is who supplies the commodity and at what price.
