CSI Extension Policy
Solar facilities conditionally accepted in the CSI Program may be eligible for one 6-month extension. The registrant may apply for an extension for any solar installation that cannot complete the installation and submit a complete Final As-Built (Post Construction Certification) Packet with permission to operate from the Electric Distribution Company in the CSI online registration portal by the expiration date noted in the CSI Acceptance Letter.
CSI Extension Request ChecklistExtension Requests will be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis and should include supporting documentation of extenuating circumstances for the delay in completing the facility, evidence that the facility has made progress towards completion, and demonstrations of the likelihood of timely and successful completion of the solar facility. For all solar facilities, the CSI Program Manager will consider whether the registrant has submitted timely quarterly milestone reporting forms. If the extension is granted, the CSI Program will provide a new registration expiration date six months from the expiration on the original conditional CSI Acceptance Letter.
Any CSI solar facility that would like to submit a request for a second extension must submit a petition to the NJBPU for consideration. Instructions on how to file a petition can be found at How to File A Petition.
Per Board Order dated August 13, 2025, CSI solar facilities that have been conditionally approved as of August 20, 2025 (effective date of the Board Order) will receive an additional 9-months from the date of their original expiration date noted in their conditional acceptance letter.
