Jersey City Public Schools

Jersey City Public Schools (JCPS) selected DCO Energy to develop and implement the largest Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP) Project in NJ State history. The total project value equaled $120,126,248. The ESIP project will provide substantial sustainable improvements and most importantly enhance the learning environments for its students. The project will deliver new LED lighting, improved ventilation and cooling to 4 High Schools, a 10MW solar system with roof restoration, 11 boiler replacements with 6 of those eliminating the need for oil, a districtwide Energy Management System (EMS) and water conservation measures. The execution of these facility improvements will support over 1,100 local, well-paying jobs in the Jersey City area.

As an additional benefit, DCO and its team are implementing a districtwide Competitive Edge program to provide educational and career advancements opportunities to students and residents.
