Certain of the matters discussed in this report about our and our subsidiaries’ future performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies, prospects, consequences and all other statements that are not purely historical constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used herein, the words “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “should,” “hypothetical,” “potential,” “forecast,” “project,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements made by us herein are discussed in filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. These factors include, but are not limited to:
any inability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, or construct transmission and distribution, and solar and wind generation projects;
the physical, financial and transition risks related to climate change, including risks relating to potentially increased legislative and regulatory burdens, changing customer preferences and lawsuits;
any equipment failures, accidents, critical operating technology or business system failures, severe weather events, acts of war, terrorism, sabotage, cyberattack or other incidents that may impact our ability to provide safe and reliable service to our customers;
any inability to recover the carrying amount of our long-lived assets;
disruptions or cost increases in our supply chain, including labor shortages;
any inability to maintain sufficient liquidity or access sufficient capital on commercially reasonable terms;
the impact of cybersecurity attacks or intrusions or other disruptions to our information technology, operational or other systems;
the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic;
failure to attract and retain a qualified workforce;
inflation, including increases in the costs of equipment, materials, fuel and labor;
the impact of our covenants in our debt instruments on our business;
adverse performance of our nuclear decommissioning and defined benefit plan trust fund investments and changes in funding requirements;
the failure to complete, or delays in completing, the Ocean Wind 1 offshore wind project and the failure to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits of this project;
fluctuations in wholesale power and natural gas markets, including the potential impacts on the economic viability of our generation units;
our ability to obtain adequate nuclear fuel supply;
market risks impacting the operation of our nuclear generating stations;
changes in technology related to energy generation, distribution and consumption and changes in customer usage patterns;
third-party credit risk relating to our sale of nuclear generation output and purchase of nuclear fuel;
any inability to meet our commitments under forward sale obligations;
reliance on transmission facilities to maintain adequate transmission capacity for our nuclear generation fleet;
the impact of changes in state and federal legislation and regulations on our business, including PSE&G’s ability to recover costs and earn returns on authorized investments;
ii


Table of Contents


PSE&G’s proposed investment programs may not be fully approved by regulators and its capital investment may be lower than planned;
the absence of a long-term legislative or other solution for our New Jersey nuclear plants that sufficiently values them for their carbon-free, fuel diversity and resilience attributes, or the impact of the current or subsequent payments for such attributes being materially adversely modified through legal proceedings;
adverse changes in and non-compliance with energy industry laws, policies, regulations and standards, including market structures and transmission planning and transmission returns;
risks associated with our ownership and operation of nuclear facilities, including increased nuclear fuel storage costs, regulatory risks, such as compliance with the Atomic Energy Act and trade control, environmental and other regulations, as well as financial, environmental and health and safety risks;
changes in federal and state environmental laws and regulations and enforcement;
delays in receipt of, or an inability to receive, necessary licenses and permits; and
changes in tax laws and regulations.
All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by management will be realized or even if realized, will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in making any investment decision. Forward-looking statements made in this report apply only as of the date of this report. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even in light of new information or future events, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Note 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG) is a public utility holding company that, acting through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a predominantly regulated electric and gas utility and a carbon-free generation and infrastructure company. PSEG’s two reportable segments are:
Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G)—which is a public utility engaged principally in the transmission of electricity and distribution of electricity and natural gas in certain areas of New Jersey. PSE&G is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PSE&G also invests in regulated solar generation projects and energy efficiency and related programs in New Jersey, which are regulated by the BPU.
PSEG Power LLC (PSEG Power)—which is an energy supply company that integrates the operations of its merchant nuclear generating assets with its fuel supply functions through competitive energy sales via its principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries. PSEG Power’s subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states in which they operate.
PSEG’s other direct wholly owned subsidiaries are: PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (Energy Holdings), which holds investments in offshore wind ventures and a legacy portfolio of lease investments; PSEG Long Island LLC (PSEG LI), which operates the Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) electric transmission and distribution (T&D) system under an Operations Services Agreement (OSA); and PSEG Services Corporation (Services), which provides certain management, administrative and general services to PSEG and its subsidiaries at cost.
In August 2021, PSEG entered into two agreements to sell PSEG Power’s 6,750 megawatts (MW) fossil generating portfolio to newly formed subsidiaries of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P., a fund controlled by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC. In February 2022, PSEG completed the sale of this fossil generating portfolio. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for more details on the transactions.

In February 2022, the NRC issued an order related to its review of the subsequent license renewal (SLR) application for the Peach Bottom nuclear units. While the NRC had previously granted the SLR to the Peach Bottom units, the NRC was responding to pending motions that had not previously been adjudicated. In its decision, the NRC concluded that the previous environmental review required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was incomplete because it did not adequately address environmental impacts resulting from extending the units’ licenses by 20 years. As a result, at the direction of the NRC, the NRC staff changed the expiration dates for the licenses back to 2033 and 2034, until the completion of the NEPA analysis. The NRC directed, however, that the subsequently renewed licenses themselves remain in effect. The NRC also stated that it fully expects that the staff will complete its update of the NEPA analysis before 2033. As such, at this time, PSEG has not adjusted the useful lives or the assumed shutdown probabilities assigned to the Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO) of the units as PSEG believes that the licenses will be updated to reflect the approved 2053 and 2054 expiration dates within the current license period. PSEG will continue to monitor this matter for further developments and any change to the estimated useful lives and ARO probabilities could have an adverse financial statement impact, which may be material.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards
New Standards Issued and Adopted
Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call OptionsAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-04
This accounting standard clarifies an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange. It provides guidance on how an issuer would determine whether it should recognize the modification or exchange as an adjustment to equity or an expense.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G.
Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease PaymentsASU 2021-05
This accounting standard improves an area of the lease guidance related to a lessor’s accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments. It amends the lessor lease classification requirements and, as a result, a lessor is now required to classify and account for a lease with variable payments as an operating lease if (i) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and (ii) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. A day-one loss or profit is not recognized under operating lease accounting.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G.

Government Assistance Disclosures by Business Entities about Government AssistanceASU 2021-10
This accounting standard increases transparency in financial reporting by requiring business entities to disclose, in notes to financial statements, certain information when they (i) have received government assistance and (ii) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G.
New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted as of March 31, 2022
Business CombinationsAccounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with CustomersASU 2021-08
This accounting standard amends the business combination guidance by requiring entities to apply the revenue recognition standard to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this standard will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Derivative and Hedging: Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method—ASU 2022-01
This accounting standard amends the derivative and hedging guidance on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets. The standard allows entities to expand their use of the portfolio layer method (previously known as the last of layer method) for fair value hedges of interest rate risk. Under this guidance, entities can now hedge all financial assets under the portfolio layer method and designate multiple hedged layers within a single closed portfolio. The standard also clarifies the accounting for fair value hedge basis adjustments in portfolio layer hedges and how these adjustments should be disclosed.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this standard will be applied: (i) prospectively to designation of multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio, (ii) on a modified retrospective basis for amendments related to hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method, and (iii) on a prospective or retrospective basis for the amendments related to disclosures. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures—ASU 2022-02
This accounting standard eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses guidance and enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. It also amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this standard will be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings where there is an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Note 3. Revenues
Nature of Goods and Services
The following is a description of principal activities by which PSEG and its subsidiaries generate their revenues.
PSE&G
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electric and Gas Distribution and Transmission Revenues—PSE&G sells gas and electricity to customers under default commodity supply tariffs. PSE&G’s regulated electric and gas default commodity supply and distribution services are separate tariffs which are satisfied as the product(s) and/or service(s) are delivered to the customer. The electric and gas commodity and delivery tariffs are recurring contracts in effect until modified through the regulatory approval process as appropriate. Revenue is recognized over time as the service is rendered to the customer. Included in PSE&G’s regulated revenues are unbilled electric

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents                    

and gas revenues which represent the estimated amount customers will be billed for services rendered from the most recent meter reading to the end of the respective accounting period.
PSE&G’s transmission revenues are earned under a separate tariff using a FERC-approved annual formula rate mechanism. The performance obligation of transmission service is satisfied and revenue is recognized as it is provided to the customer. The formula rate mechanism provides for an annual filing of an estimated revenue requirement with rates effective January 1 of each year and a true-up to that estimate based on actual revenue requirements. The true-up mechanism is an alternative revenue which is outside the scope of revenue from contracts with customers.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Other revenues from contracts with customers, which are not a material source of PSE&G revenues, are generated primarily from appliance repair services and solar generation projects. The performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of products is delivered or services are rendered.
Payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due on average within 30 days of delivery.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Other PSE&G revenues unrelated to contracts with customers are derived from alternative revenue mechanisms recorded pursuant to regulatory accounting guidance. These revenues, which include the Conservation Incentive Program (CIP), green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues.
Other
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electricity and Related Products—Wholesale load contracts have been executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits and ancillary services representing PSEG Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. PSEG Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. PSEG generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity.
PSEG Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, PSEG Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is reported on a gross basis and recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity.
PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants have been awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the BPU through May 2025. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the units generate electricity, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are included in PJM Sales in the following tables. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for additional information.
Gas Contracts—PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full-requirements Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) contract with PSE&G to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s customers. The BGSS contract remains in effect unless terminated by either party with a two-year notice. The performance obligation is primarily delivery of gas which is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized as gas is delivered. Based upon the availability of natural gas, storage and pipeline capacity beyond PSE&G’s daily needs, PSEG Power also sells gas and pipeline capacity to other counterparties under bilateral contracts. The performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time upon delivery of the gas or capacity, and revenue is recognized accordingly.
PSEG LI Contract—PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Prior to the sale of Solar Source in June 2021, PSEG Power entered into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) from its solar facilities. Contract terms ranged from 15 to 30 years. The performance

obligations were generally solar power and SRECs which were transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue was recognized upon generation of the solar power.
PSEG Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
PSEG Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. Prior to the sale of Solar Source, PSEG Power was also a party to solar contracts that qualified as leases and were accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments.
Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance.

Contract Balances
PSE&G
PSE&G did not have any material contract balances (rights to consideration for services already provided or obligations to provide services in the future for consideration already received) as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Substantially all of PSE&G’s accounts receivable and unbilled revenues result from contracts with customers that are priced at tariff rates. Allowances represented approximately 20% and 21% of accounts receivable (including unbilled revenues) as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Accounts ReceivableAllowance for Credit Losses
PSE&G’s accounts receivable, including unbilled revenues, is primarily comprised of utility customer receivables for the provision of electric and gas service and appliance services, and are reported in the balance sheet as gross outstanding amounts adjusted for an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses reflects PSE&G’s best estimate of losses on the account balances. The allowance is based on PSE&G’s projection of accounts receivable aging, historical experience, economic factors and other currently available evidence, including the estimated impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on the outstanding balances as of March 31, 2022. PSE&G’s electric bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause mechanism. As of March 31, 2022, PSE&G has a deferred balance of $145 million from electric bad debts recorded as a Regulatory Asset. In addition, PSE&G has deferred incremental gas bad debt expense of $66 million as a Regulatory Asset for future regulatory recovery due to the impact of the ongoing pandemic. See Note 6. Rate Filings for additional information.

Other
PSEG Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, PSEG Power had no material contract balances as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
PSEG Power’s accounts receivable include amounts resulting from contracts with customers and other contracts which are out of scope of accounting guidance for revenues from contracts with customers. The majority of these accounts receivable are subject to master netting agreements. As a result, accounts receivable resulting from contracts with customers and receivables unrelated to contracts with customers are netted within Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
PSEG Power’s accounts receivable consist mainly of revenues from wholesale load contracts and capacity sales which are executed in the different ISO regions. PSEG Power also sells energy and ancillary services directly to ISOs and other counterparties. In the wholesale energy markets in which PSEG Power operates, payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of delivery. As such, there is little credit risk associated with these receivables. PSEG Power did not record an allowance for credit losses for these receivables as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. PSEG Power monitors the status of its counterparties on an ongoing basis to assess whether there are any anticipated credit losses.
PSEG LI did not have any material contract balances as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Remaining Performance Obligations under Fixed Consideration Contracts
PSEG primarily records revenues as allowed by the guidance, which states that if an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, the entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. PSEG has future performance obligations under contracts with fixed consideration as follows:
As previously stated, capacity transactions with ISOs are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs.
Capacity Revenues from the PJM Annual Base Residual and Incremental Auctions—The Base Residual Auction is generally conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. The 2022/2023 auction was held in June 2021 and the 2023/2024 auction will be held in June 2022. PSEG Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices resulting from the base and incremental auctions, including unit specific bilateral contracts for previously cleared capacity obligations.
Delivery Year$ per MW-DayMW Cleared
June 2021 to May 2022$1423,700 
June 2022 to May 2023$973,300 
Bilateral capacity contracts—Capacity obligations pursuant to contract terms through 2029 are anticipated to result in revenues totaling $56 million.
Amended OSA—In April 2022, PSEG LI entered into an amended OSA with LIPA. The OSA remains a 12-year services contract ending in 2025 with annual fixed and variable components. The fixed fee for the provision of services thereunder in 2022 is approximately $40 million and is updated each year based on the change in the Consumer Price Index.

Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments
Nuclear
In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs by the BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear plants and recovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour (KWh) used (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) generated in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). Each nuclear plant is receiving ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022.
In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs for the three-year eligibility period starting June 2022 at the same approximate $10 per MWh received during the current ZEC period through May 2022 referenced above. As a result, each nuclear plant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for an additional three years starting June 2022. The terms and conditions of this April 2021 ZEC award are the same as the current ZEC period as discussed above.
The award of ZECs attaches certain obligations, including an obligation to repay the ZECs in the event that a plant ceases operations during the period that it was awarded ZECs, subject to certain exceptions specified in the ZEC legislation. PSEG Power has and will continue to recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. Further, the ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source. For instance, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (New Jersey Rate Counsel), in written comments filed with the BPU, has advocated for the BPU to offset market benefits resulting from New Jersey’s rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative from the ZEC payment. PSEG intends to vigorously defend against these arguments. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In May 2021, the New Jersey Rate Counsel filed an appeal with the New Jersey Appellate Division of the BPU’s April 2021 decision. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In the event that (i) the ZEC program is overturned or is otherwise materially adversely modified through legal process; or (ii) any of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants is not sufficiently valued for its environmental, fuel diversity or resilience attributes in future periods and does not otherwise experience a material financial change that would remove the need for such attributes to be sufficiently valued, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Alternatively, even with sufficient valuation of these attributes, if the financial condition of the plants is materially adversely impacted by changes in commodity prices, FERC’s changes to the capacity market construct (absent sufficient capacity revenues provided under a program approved by the BPU in accordance with a FERC-authorized capacity mechanism), or, in the case of the Salem nuclear plants, decisions by the EPA and state environmental regulators regarding the implementation of Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and related state regulations, or other factors, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants and will incur associated costs and accounting charges. These may include, among other things, one-time impairment charges or accelerated Depreciation and Amortization Expense on the remaining carrying value of the plants, potential penalties associated with the early termination of capacity obligations and fuel contracts, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and, in certain circumstances potential additional funding of the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund, which would result in a material adverse impact on PSEG’s results of operations.
Non-Nuclear
In August 2021, PSEG entered into two agreements to sell PSEG Power’s 6,750 MW fossil generating portfolio, one agreement for the sale of assets in New Jersey and Maryland and another agreement for the sale of assets located in New York and Connecticut, to newly formed subsidiaries of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P., a fund controlled by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC for aggregate consideration of approximately $1,920 million. In February 2022, PSEG completed the sale of this fossil generating portfolio. PSEG Power has retained ownership of certain assets and liabilities excluded from the transactions primarily related to obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation obligations under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act and the Connecticut Transfer Act. The amounts for any such environmental remediation are not currently estimable, but may be material.
In 2021, PSEG had recorded a pre-tax impairment loss on sale of approximately $2,691 million as the purchase price was lower than the carrying value. As defined in each agreement, further adjustments were required as a result of purchase price and working capital adjustments, including an adjustment for positive or negative cash flow of the fossil generating assets based on actual performance starting after December 31, 2021 through the respective closing dates. As a result, in 2022, PSEG Power recorded an additional pre-tax impairment of approximately $43 million. Further amounts may be recorded as a result of any

additional purchase price or working capital adjustments as defined in each agreement; however, these adjustments are not expected to be material.

Note 5. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
VIE for which PSEG LI is the Primary Beneficiary
PSEG LI consolidates Servco, a marginally capitalized VIE, which was created for the purpose of operating LIPA’s T&D system in Long Island, New York as well as providing administrative support functions to LIPA. PSEG LI is the primary beneficiary of Servco because it directs the operations of Servco, the activity that most significantly impacts Servco’s economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of Servco that could potentially be significant to Servco. Such losses would be immaterial to PSEG.
Pursuant to the OSA, Servco’s operating costs are paid entirely by LIPA, and therefore, PSEG LI’s risk is limited related to the activities of Servco. PSEG LI has no current obligation to provide direct financial support to Servco. In addition to payment of Servco’s operating costs as provided for in the OSA, PSEG LI receives an annual contract management fee. PSEG LI’s annual contractual management fee, in certain situations, could be partially offset by Servco’s annual storm costs not approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, limited contingent liabilities and penalties for failing to meet certain performance metrics.
For transactions in which Servco acts as principal and controls the services provided to LIPA, such as transactions with its employees for labor and labor-related activities, including pension and OPEB-related transactions, Servco records revenues and the related pass-through expenditures separately in Operating Revenues and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense, respectively. Servco recorded $123 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 of O&M costs, the full reimbursement of which was reflected in Operating Revenues. For transactions in which Servco acts as an agent for LIPA, it records revenues and the related expenses on a net basis, resulting in no impact on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
VIE for which PSEG is not the Primary Beneficiary
PSEG holds a 25% equity interest in Ocean Wind JV HoldCo, LLC (OWH), which holds the Ocean Wind 1 project that is expected to achieve full commercial operation in 2025. OWH is considered a VIE since its equity investments at risk are not sufficient to permit this entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Since PSEG does not have voting control or the power to direct the activities of OWH that most significantly impact its economic performance, PSEG has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for this investment under the equity method. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PSEG’s carrying amount of its investment in OWH was $124 million and $111 million, respectively, which is included in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. PSEG’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount of its investment and additional planned funding of approximately $250 million to support continued project development to its final investment decision.

Note 6. Rate Filings
This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 7. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In addition to items previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant regulatory orders received and currently pending rate filings with the BPU are as follows:
Basic Generation Service (BGS)In January 2022, the BPU approved changes to BGS rates as a result of the FERC-approved changes to transmission charges, primarily as a result of the decrease in PSE&G’s transmission formula rate return on equity. PSE&G’s BGS customers are being credited over a 12-month period effective February 1, 2022.
BGSS—In April 2022, the BPU gave final approval to PSE&G’s request to maintain the current BGSS rate of approximately 41 cents per therm which had been provisionally approved effective February 1, 2022.
Clean Energy Future (CEF)-Energy Cloud (EC) or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) InitiativeAs a result of PSE&G’s approved CEF-EC filing in 2021 to provide smart meters to its electric customers, PSE&G expects to retire most of its current solid state electric meters by the end of 2024. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the net book value of these meters was $188 million and $192 million, respectively. The filing also approved the recovery of and on the stranded costs associated with the retirement of the existing meters.

COVID-19 Deferral—PSE&G continues to make quarterly filings as required by the BPU and has recorded a Regulatory Asset as of March 31, 2022 of approximately $120 million for net incremental costs, including $66 million for incremental gas bad debt expense associated with customer accounts receivable, which PSE&G expects are probable of recovery under the BPU order.
Energy Strong II—In April 2022, PSE&G updated its pending Energy Strong II petition to request a change in its previously filed electric revenue requirement. The updated petition seeks annual electric and gas revenue increases of $17 million and $1 million, respectively, with rates effective no earlier than May 1, 2022. This matter is pending.
Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP II)—In March 2022, PSE&G updated its petition previously filed in December 2021 seeking BPU approval to recover in gas base rates an annual revenue increase of approximately $25 million effective June 1, 2022 representing the return on and of GSMP II investments placed in service through February 2022.
Remediation Adjustment Charge (RAC)—In March 2022, PSE&G filed its RAC 29 petition with the BPU seeking recovery of $44 million of net Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) remediation expenditures incurred from August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021. This matter is pending.
ZEC Program—In April 2022, the BPU approved PSE&G’s petition to refund a total of $4 million, including interest, for overcollections resulting from the ZEC program for the energy year ended May 31, 2021.

Note 7. Leases
PSEG and its subsidiaries are both a lessor and a lessee in operating leases. As of March 31, 2022, PSEG and its subsidiaries were lessors for leases classified as operating leases or leveraged leases. See Note 8. Financing Receivables. There was no significant change in amounts reported in Note 8. Leases in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for operating leases in which PSEG and its subsidiaries are lessees.
PSEG and its subsidiaries, as lessors, have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are primarily related to generating facilities and real estate assets. Rental income from these leases is included in Operating Revenues.
PSEG Nuclear, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, is the lessor in an operating lease for certain parcels of land with terms of 28 years from commencement, plus five optional renewal periods of ten years.
Prior to the sale in June 2021 of PSEG Solar Source LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, certain of PSEG Power’s sales agreements related to its solar generating plants qualified as operating leases. Lease income was based on solar energy generation; therefore, all rental income recorded under these leases was variable.
Energy Holdings is the lessor in leveraged leases. See Note 8. Financing Receivables.
Energy Holdings is the lessor in two operating leases for domestic energy generation facilities with remaining terms through 2036, one of which has an optional renewal period and real estate assets with remaining terms through 2049. As of March 31, 2022, Energy Holdings’ property subject to these leases had a total carrying value of $123 million.
The following is the operating lease income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Note 8. Financing Receivables
PSE&G
PSE&G’s Solar Loan Programs are designed to help finance the installation of solar power systems throughout its electric service area. Interest income on the loans is recorded on an accrual basis. The loans are paid back with SRECs generated from the related installed solar electric system. PSE&G uses collection experience as a credit quality indicator for its Solar Loan Programs and conducts a comprehensive credit review for all prospective borrowers. As of March 31, 2022, none of the solar loans were impaired; however, in the event of a loan default, the basis of the solar loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. Therefore, no current credit losses have been recorded for Solar Loan Programs I, II and III. A substantial portion of these loan amounts are noncurrent and reported in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s and PSE&G’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table reflects the outstanding loans by class of customer, none of which would be considered “non-performing.”

Total $118 
The average life of loans paid in full is eight years, which is lower than the loan terms of 10 to 15 years due to the generation of SRECs being greater than expected and/or cash payments made to the loan. Payments on all outstanding loans were current as of March 31, 2022 and have an average remaining life of approximately four years. There are no remaining residential loans outstanding under the Solar Loan 1 program.
Energy Holdings
Energy Holdings, through its indirect subsidiaries, has investments in assets subject to leveraged lease accounting. A leveraged lease is typically comprised of an investment by an equity investor and debt provided by a third-party debt investor. The debt is recourse only to the assets subject to lease and is not included on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As an equity investor, Energy Holdings’ equity investments in the leases are comprised of the total expected lease receivables over the lease terms plus the estimated residual values at the end of the lease terms, reduced for any income not yet earned on the leases. This amount is included in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The more rapid depreciation of the leased property for tax purposes creates tax cash flow that will be repaid to the taxing authority in later periods. As such, the liability for such taxes due is recorded in Deferred Income Taxes on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Leveraged leases outstanding as of March 31, 2022 commenced in or prior to 2000. The following table shows Energy Holdings’ gross and net lease investment as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

PSEG recorded no credit losses for the leveraged leases existing on March 31, 2022. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults, indirect subsidiaries of Energy Holdings would exercise their rights and seek recovery of their investments, potentially including stepping into the lease directly to protect their investments. While these actions could ultimately protect or mitigate the loss of value, they could require the use of significant capital and trigger certain material tax obligations which could, for certain leases, wholly or partially be mitigated by tax indemnification claims against the counterparty. A bankruptcy of a lessee would likely delay and potentially limit any efforts on the part of the lessors to assert their rights upon default and could delay the monetization of claims.

Note 9. Trust Investments
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) Fund
PSEG Power maintains an external master NDT to fund its share of decommissioning costs for its five nuclear facilities upon their respective termination of operation. The trust contains two separate funds: a qualified fund and a non-qualified fund. Section 468A of the Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of money that can be contributed into a qualified fund. The funds are managed by third-party investment managers who operate under investment guidelines developed by PSEG Power.

PSEG Power does not intend to sell these securities nor will it be more-likely-than-not required to sell before recovery of their amortized cost. PSEG Power did not recognize credit losses for U.S. Treasury obligations and Federal Agency mortgage-backed securities because these investments are guaranteed by the U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government. PSEG Power did not recognize credit losses for municipal bonds because they are primarily investment grade securities.
(C)Debt Securities (Corporate)—Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Unrealized losses were due to market declines. It is not expected that these securities would settle for less than their amortized cost.

PSEG Power periodically assesses individual debt securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are impaired. For these securities, management considers its intent to sell or requirement to sell a security prior to expected recovery. In those cases where a sale is expected, any impairment would be recorded through earnings. For fixed income securities where there is no intent to sell or likely requirement to sell, management evaluates whether credit loss is a component of the impairment. If so, that portion is recorded through earnings while the noncredit loss component is recorded through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Any subsequent recoveries of the noncredit loss component of the impairment would be recorded through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Any subsequent recoveries of the credit loss component would be recognized through earnings. The assessment of fair market value compared to cost is applied on a weighted average basis taking into account various purchase dates and initial cost of the securities.
Rabbi Trust
PSEG maintains certain unfunded nonqualified benefit plans to provide supplemental retirement and deferred compensation benefits to certain key employees. Certain assets related to these plans have been set aside in a grantor trust commonly known as a “Rabbi Trust.”

PSEG Power’s activities primarily involve the purchase and sale of energy and related products under transportation, physical, financial and forward contracts at fixed and variable prices. These transactions are with numerous counterparties and brokers that may require cash, cash-related instruments or guarantees as a form of collateral.

PSEG Power has unconditionally guaranteed payments to counterparties on behalf of its subsidiaries in commodity-related transactions in order to
support current exposure, interest and other costs on sums due and payable in the ordinary course of business, and
obtain credit.
PSEG Power is subject to
counterparty collateral calls related to commodity contracts of its subsidiaries, and
certain creditworthiness standards as guarantor under performance guarantees of its subsidiaries.
Under these agreements, guarantees cover lines of credit between entities and are often reciprocal in nature. The exposure between counterparties can move in either direction.
In order for PSEG Power to incur a liability for the face value of the outstanding guarantees,
its subsidiaries would have to fully utilize the credit granted to them by every counterparty to whom PSEG Power has provided a guarantee, and
the net position of the related contracts would have to be “out-of-the-money” (if the contracts are terminated, PSEG Power would owe money to the counterparties).
PSEG Power believes the probability of this result is unlikely. For this reason, PSEG Power believes that the current exposure at any point in time is a more meaningful representation of the potential liability under these guarantees. Current exposure consists of the net of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the forward value on open positions, less any collateral posted.
Changes in commodity prices can have a material impact on collateral requirements under such contracts, which are posted and received primarily in the form of cash and letters of credit. PSEG Power also routinely enters into futures and options transactions for electricity and natural gas as part of its operations. These futures contracts usually require a cash margin deposit with brokers, which can change based on market movement and in accordance with exchange rules.
In addition to the guarantees discussed above, PSEG Power has also provided payment guarantees to third parties and regulatory authorities on behalf of its affiliated companies. These guarantees support various other non-commodity related obligations.
The following table shows the face value of PSEG Power’s outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As part of determining credit exposure, PSEG Power nets receivables and payables with the corresponding net fair values of energy contracts. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. In accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, where it is applicable, cash (received)/deposited is allocated against derivative asset and liability positions with the same counterparty on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining balances of net cash (received)/deposited after allocation are generally included in Accounts Payable and Receivable, respectively.

In addition to amounts for outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions, PSEG and PSEG Power have posted letters of credit to support PSEG Power’s various other non-energy contractual and environmental obligations. See the preceding table.
Environmental Matters
Passaic River
Lower Passaic River Study Area    
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River (Lower Passaic River Study Area (LPRSA)) in New Jersey is a “Superfund” site under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). PSE&G and certain of its predecessors conducted operations at properties in this area, including at one site that was transferred to PSEG Power.
Certain Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), including PSE&G and PSEG Power, formed a Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study of the LPRSA. The CPG allocated, on an interim basis, the associated costs among its members. The interim allocation is subject to change. In June 2019, the EPA conditionally approved the CPG’s Remedial Investigation. In September 2021, the EPA approved the CPG’s Feasibility Study (FS), which evaluated various adaptive management scenarios for the remediation of only the upper 9 miles of the LPRSA. In October 2021, the EPA announced a Record of Decision (ROD) outlining its selection of an adaptive management scenario for the upper 9 miles from the options presented in the FS (the Upper 9 ROD Remedy). Specifically, the Upper 9 ROD Remedy calls for dredging and capping contaminated sediments from certain areas of the upper 9 miles at an estimated cost of $550 million, and then assessing the results. Based on the results, the EPA may determine that additional remediation work will be required in the future.
Separately, the EPA has released a ROD for the LPRSA’s lower 8.3 miles that requires the removal of sediments at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion (the Lower 8.3 ROD Remedy). An EPA-commenced process to allocate the associated costs is underway and PSEG cannot predict the outcome. The allocation does not address certain costs incurred by the EPA for which they may be entitled to reimbursement and which may be material. The allocation currently involves settlement discussions among various parties and the EPA. Certain parties have announced a settlement in principle with the EPA, but the identity of the parties and the terms of the settlement in principle are unknown. It is also unknown whether the settlement in principle will be successfully consummated. PSE&G and PSEG Power were not included in the settlement in principle, but the EPA sent PSE&G, Occidental Chemical Corporation, and several other PRPs a letter in March 2022 inviting them to submit to the EPA individually or jointly an offer to fund or participate in the next stages of the remediation. Depending on the parties’ response, the EPA may commence the remediation itself and seek to recover the costs from PSE&G or others, or it may take enforcement action to compel PSE&G or others to fund or participate in the remediation. PSE&G is currently evaluating its response, and cannot predict the EPA’s actions or their impact on PSE&G.
Occidental Chemical Corporation has commenced the design of the Lower 8.3 ROD Remedy, but declined to participate in the allocation process. Instead, it filed suit against PSE&G and others seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA but has not quantified alleged damages. The litigation is ongoing and PSEG cannot predict the outcome.
Two PRPs, Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) and Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The trust representing the creditors in this proceeding has filed a complaint asserting claims against Tierra’s and Maxus’ current and former parent entities, among others. Any damages awarded may be used to fund the remediation of the LPRSA.
As of March 31, 2022, PSEG has approximately $66 million accrued for this matter. Of this amount, PSE&G has an Environmental Costs Liability of $53 million and a corresponding Regulatory Asset based on its continued ability to recover such costs in its rates. PSEG Power has an Other Noncurrent Liability of $13 million.
The outcome of this matter is uncertain, and until (i) a final remedy for the entire LPRSA is selected and an agreement is reached by the PRPs to fund it, (ii) PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s respective shares of the costs are determined, and (iii) PSE&G’s ability to recover the costs in its rates is determined, it is not possible to predict this matter’s ultimate impact on PSEG’s financial statements. It is possible that PSE&G and PSEG Power will record additional costs beyond what they have accrued, and that such costs could be material, but PSEG cannot at the current time estimate the amount or range of any additional costs.
Newark Bay Study Area
The EPA has established the Newark Bay Study Area, which is an extension of the LPRSA and includes Newark Bay and portions of surrounding waterways. The EPA has notified PSEG and 11 other PRPs of their potential liability. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of any loss or possible range of loss related to this matter. In

December 2018, PSEG Power completed the sale of the site of the Hudson electric generating station. PSEG Power contractually transferred all land rights and structures on the Hudson site to a third-party purchaser, along with the assumption of the environmental liabilities for the site.
Natural Resource Damage Claims
New Jersey and certain federal regulators have alleged that PSE&G, PSEG Power and 56 other PRPs may be liable for natural resource damages within the LPRSA. In particular, PSE&G, PSEG Power and other PRPs received notice from federal regulators of the regulators’ intent to move forward with a series of studies assessing potential damages to natural resources at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, which includes the LPRSA and the Newark Bay Study Area. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of any possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
Hackensack River
In March 2022, the EPA announced it had nominated the Hackensack River for inclusion on the list of federal Superfund sites. The EPA’s nomination is subject to public review and comment. The ultimate impact of this action on PSE&G and PSEG Power is currently unknown, but could be material.
MGP Remediation Program
PSE&G is working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to assess, investigate and remediate environmental conditions at its former MGP sites. To date, 38 sites requiring some level of remedial action have been identified. Based on its current studies, sites requiring some level of remedial action have been identified. Based on its current studies, PSE&G has determined that the estimated cost to remediate all MGP sites to completion could range between $221 million and $249 million on an undiscounted basis, including its $53 million share for the Passaic River as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $221 million as of March 31, 2022. Of this amount, $40 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $181 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $221 million Regulatory Asset with respect to these costs. PSE&G periodically updates its studies taking into account any new regulations or new information which could impact future remediation costs and adjusts its recorded liability accordingly. PSE&G completed sampling in the Passaic River in 2020 to delineate coal tar from certain MGP sites that abut the Passaic River Superfund site. PSEG cannot determine at this time the magnitude of any impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy.
CWA Section 316(b) Rule
The EPA’s CWA Section 316(b) rule establishes requirements for the regulation of cooling water intakes at existing power plants and industrial facilities with a design flow of more than two million gallons of water per day. The EPA requires that National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits be renewed every five years and that each state Permitting Director manage renewal permits for its respective power generation facilities on a case by case basis. The NJDEP manages the permits under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) program. 
In June 2016, the NJDEP issued a final NJPDES permit for Salem. In July 2016, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network (Riverkeeper) filed an administrative hearing request challenging certain conditions of the permit, including the NJDEP’s application of the 316(b) rule. If the Riverkeeper’s challenge is successful, PSEG Power may be required to incur additional costs to comply with the CWA. Potential cooling water and/or service water system modification costs could be material and could adversely impact the economic competitiveness of this facility. The NJDEP granted the hearing request but no hearing date has been established.
Jersey City, New Jersey Subsurface Feeder Cable Matter
In October 2016, a discharge of dielectric fluid from subsurface feeder cables located in the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, was identified and reported to the NJDEP. The feeder cables are located within a subsurface easement granted to PSE&G by the property owners, Newport Associates Development Company (NADC) and Newport Associates Phase I Developer Limited Partnership. The feeder cables are subject to agreements between PSE&G and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) and are jointly owned by PSE&G and Con Edison. The impacted cable was repaired in September 2017. A federal response was initially led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard transitioned control of the federal response to the EPA, and the EPA ended the federal response to the matter in 2018. The investigation of small amounts of residual dielectric fluid believed to be contained with the marina sediment is ongoing as part of the NJDEP site remediation program. In August 2020, PSE&G finalized a settlement with the federal government regarding the reimbursement of costs associated with the federal response to this matter and payment of civil penalties of an immaterial amount.
A lawsuit in federal court is pending to determine ultimate responsibility for the costs to address the leak among PSE&G, Con Edison and NADC. In addition, Con Edison filed counter claims against PSE&G and NADC, including seeking injunctive relief

and damages. Based on the information currently available and depending on the outcome of the federal court action, PSE&G’s portion of the costs to address the leak may be material; however, PSE&G anticipates that it will recover its costs, other than civil penalties, through regulatory proceedings.
BGS, BGSS and ZECs
Each year, PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers that choose not to purchase electric supply from third-party suppliers. The first category is residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers (BGS-Residential Small Commercial Pricing (RSCP)). The second category is larger customers that exceed a BPU-established load (kW) threshold (BGS-Commercial and Industrial Energy Pricing (CIEP)). Pursuant to applicable BPU rules, PSE&G enters into the Supplier Master Agreements with the winners of these RSCP and CIEP BGS auctions to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the RSCP and CIEP auctions have been responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM load-serving entity including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards. Beginning with the 2021 BGS auction, transmission became the responsibility of the New Jersey EDCs, and is no longer a component of the BGS auction product for either the RSCP or CIEP auctions. BGS suppliers serving load from the 2018, 2019 and 2020 BGS auctions had the option to transfer the transmission obligation to the New Jersey EDCs as of February 2021. Suppliers that did so had their total BGS payment from the EDCs reduced to reflect the transfer of the transmission obligation to the EDCs.
The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 2022 is $276.26 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2022 of $351.06 per MW-day. Energy for BGS-CIEP is priced at hourly PJM locational marginal prices for the contract period.
PSE&G contracts for its anticipated BGS-RSCP load on a three-year rolling basis, whereby each year one-third of the load is procured for a three-year period. The contract prices in dollars per MWh for the BGS-RSCP supply, as well as the approximate load, are as follows:

(A)Prices set in the 2022 BGS auction will become effective on June 1, 2022 when the 2019 BGS auction agreements expire.
PSE&G has a full-requirements contract with PSEG Power to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s gas customers. PSEG Power has entered into hedges for a portion of these anticipated BGSS obligations, as permitted by the BPU. The BPU permits PSE&G to recover the cost of gas hedging up to 115 billion cubic feet or 80% of its residential gas supply annual requirements through the BGSS tariff. Current plans call for PSEG Power to hedge on behalf of PSE&G approximately 70 billion cubic feet or 50% of its residential gas supply annual requirements. For additional information, see Note 20. Related-Party Transactions.
Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, New Jersey EDCs, including PSE&G, are required to purchase ZECs from eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU. In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were selected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022. In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs for the three-year eligibility period starting June 2022. PSE&G has implemented a tariff to collect a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per KWh from its retail distribution customers to be used to purchase the ZECs from these plants. PSE&G will purchase the ZECs on a monthly basis with payment to be made annually following completion of each energy year. The legislation also requires nuclear plants to reapply for any subsequent three-year periods and allows the BPU to adjust prospective ZEC payments.
Minimum Fuel Purchase Requirements
PSEG Power’s nuclear fuel strategy is to maintain certain levels of uranium and to make periodic purchases to support such levels. As such, the commitments referred to in the following table may include estimated quantities to be purchased that deviate from contractual nominal quantities. PSEG Power’s nuclear fuel commitments cover approximately 100% of its

estimated uranium, enrichment and fabrication requirements through 2022 and a significant portion through 2023 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom.
PSEG Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G.
As of March 31, 2022, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows:

Pending FERC Matter
FERC has been conducting a non-public investigation of the Roseland-Pleasant Valley transmission project. In November 2021, FERC staff presented PSE&G with its non-public preliminary findings, alleging that PSE&G violated a FERC regulation. PSE&G disagrees with FERC staff’s allegations and believes it has factual and legal defenses that refute these allegations. PSE&G has the opportunity to respond to these preliminary findings. The matter is pending and the investigation is ongoing. We are unable to predict the outcome or estimate the range of possible loss related to this matter; however, depending on the success of PSE&G’s factual and legal arguments, the potential financial and other penalties that PSE&G may incur could be material to PSEG’s and PSE&G’s results of operations and financial condition.
Pending Tropical Storm Matter
In December 2020, LIPA filed a complaint against PSEG LI in New York State court alleging multiple breaches of the OSA in connection with PSEG LI’s preparation for and response to Tropical Storm Isaias seeking specific performance and $70 million in damages. In June 2021, LIPA and PSEG LI executed a non-binding term sheet, which is expected to guide amendments to the OSA. The term sheet includes several changes to the OSA, including shifting a portion of PSEG LI’s fixed revenues to incentive compensation and subjecting a portion of revenue to the potential imposition of penalties by the Department of Public Service (DPS) within the New York State Public Service Commission due to certain performance failures by PSEG LI, and resolves all of LIPA’s claims related to Tropical Storm Isaias and the DPS investigation. An amended OSA based on the term sheet was agreed to by both parties and approved by the LIPA Board in December 2021. In January 2022, the New York Attorney General approved the amended OSA and on April 1, 2022 the New York Comptroller approved the amended OSA. As a result, the amended OSA is effective and is of retroactive effect to January 1, 2022 for purposes of compensation. The OSA contract term continues through 2025, but can be extended for five years subject to a mutual agreement of the parties.
BPU Audit of PSE&G
In September 2020, the BPU ordered the commencement of a comprehensive affiliate and management audit of PSE&G. It has been more than ten years since the BPU last conducted a management and affiliate audit of this kind of PSE&G, which is initiated periodically as required by New Jersey statutes/regulations. Phase 1 of the planned audit will review affiliate relations and cost allocation between PSE&G and its affiliates, including an analysis of the relationship between PSE&G and PSEG Energy Resources & Trade, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power over the past ten years, and between PSE&G and PSEG LI. Phase 2 will be a comprehensive management audit, which will address, among other things, executive management, corporate governance, system operations, human resources, cyber security, compliance with customer protection requirements and customer safety. The audit officially began in late May 2021 and is in the data collection phase. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.
Litigation
Sewaren 7 Construction
In June 2018, a complaint was filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey against PSEG Fossil LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that PSEG Power withheld money

Table of Contents                    

owed to Durr and that PSEG Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. PSEG Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. In January 2021, the court partially granted PSEG Power’s motion to dismiss certain claims, reducing the amount claimed to $68 million. In December 2018, Durr filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the federal court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The SDNY bankruptcy court has allowed the New Jersey litigation to proceed. PSEG Power has accrued an amount related to outstanding invoices which does not reflect an assessment of claims and potential counterclaims in this matter. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG Power cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Other Litigation and Legal Proceedings
PSEG and its subsidiaries are party to various lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters, PSEG and PSE&G generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a liability is accrued when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. PSEG will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, other than the matters described herein, could have a material adverse effect on PSEG’s or PSE&G’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond PSEG’s control, and the large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to PSEG’s or PSE&G’s results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.
Ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic
The ongoing coronavirus ( COVID-19) pandemic and associated government actions and economic effects continue to impact our businesses. PSEG and its subsidiaries have incurred additional expenses to protect our employees and customers, and PSE&G is experiencing significantly higher bad debts and lower cash collections from customers due to the moratorium on shutoffs for residential customers that was extended through March 15, 2022. Although collections and shut-offs re-commenced in mid-March 2022, in late March 2022, New Jersey passed legislation that provides protection from shut-offs to customers who apply for payment assistance programs by June 15, 2022. Those applying for assistance will be protected from shut-offs while awaiting their application determination. PSE&G has deferred the impact of the COVID-19 costs for future recovery. The potential future impact of the pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, could have risks that drive certain accounting considerations. The ultimate impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Note 12. Debt and Credit Facilities
Long-Term Debt Financing Transactions
The following long-term debt transactions occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022:
PSE&G
issued $500 million of 3.10% Secured Medium-Term Notes (Green Bond), Series P, due March 2032.
PSEG Power
entered into a $1.25 billion variable rate term loan agreement due March 2025.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
In March 2022, PSEG and PSEG Power amended and consolidated revolving credit agreements with total borrowing capacity of $3.4 billion into a single revolving credit agreement (Master Credit Facility). The Master Credit Facility extends the maturity of the existing credit agreements through March 2027 and provides for $2.75 billion of credit capacity, with an initial PSEG sub-limit of $1.5 billion and an initial PSEG Power sub-limit of $1.25 billion. Sub-limits can be adjusted subject to the terms of

the Master Credit Facility. The PSEG sub-limit includes a sustainability linked pricing based mechanism with potential increases or decreases, which are not expected to be material, depending on performance relative to targeted methane emission reductions. In March 2022, PSE&G amended its existing $600 million revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity through March 2027 and provide for $1.0 billion of credit capacity.
The commitments under the $3.9 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of March 31, 2022, the total available credit capacity was $3.2 billion.
As of March 31, 2022, no single institution represented more than 8% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2022, PSEG’s liquidity position, including credit facilities and access to external financing, was expected to be sufficient to meet its projected stressed requirements over a 12 month planning horizon.
Each of the credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed in the following table; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support its subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.

In April 2022, PSEG Power entered into two $100 million letter of credit facilities expiring in April 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Net Cash Collateral Postings
During the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022, forward energy prices have demonstrated considerable price volatility and have increased dramatically. This has led to significantly higher variation in PSEG Power’s daily collateral requirements which have also increased substantially over that time period for hedge positions that are out-of-the money. PSEG Power’s net cash collateral postings related to these hedge positions increased from $343 million at the end of June 2021 to $1.5 billion at the end of March 2022. Subsequent to March 2022, collateral postings continued to increase and PSEG Power continued to experience significantly higher variation in its daily collateral requirements. Net cash collateral postings were $2.6 billion at the end of April 2022. The majority of this collateral relates to hedges in place through the end of 2023 and is expected to be returned as PSEG Power satisfies its obligations under those contracts. Proceeds from the sale of Fossil and the closing of a $1.25 billion term loan at PSEG Power have increased PSEG Power’s available liquidity to help support its current collateral requirements in 2022.

Short-Term Loans
PSEG
In March and May 2021, PSEG entered into two 364-day variable rate term loan agreements for $500 million and $750 million, respectively. In August 2021, PSEG entered into a $1.25 billion, 364-day variable rate term loan agreement. In March 2022, the $500 million term loan matured and PSEG repaid the $750 million term loan due in May 2022.
In April 2022, PSEG entered into a 364-day variable rate term loan agreement for $1.5 billion.

Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities
Derivative accounting guidance requires that a derivative instrument be recognized as either an asset or a liability at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings each period. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation provided that the derivative instrument meets specific, restrictive criteria, both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible treatments include normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS), cash flow hedge and fair value hedge accounting. PSEG and PSE&G have applied the NPNS scope exception to certain derivative contracts for the forward sale of generation, power procurement agreements and fuel agreements. PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and qualifying as cash flow or fair value hedges. PSEG Power enters into additional contracts that are derivatives, but are not designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. These transactions are economic hedges and are recorded at fair market value with changes recognized in earnings.
Commodity Prices
Within PSEG and its affiliate companies, PSEG Power has the most exposure to commodity price risk. PSEG Power is exposed to commodity price risk primarily relating to changes in the market price of electricity, natural gas and other commodities. Fluctuations in market prices result from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market conditions, weather, state and federal regulatory policies, environmental policies, transmission availability and other factors. PSEG Power uses a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments, such as financial options, futures, swaps, fuel purchases and forward purchases and sales of electricity, to manage the exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and optimize the value of PSEG Power’s expected generation. PSEG Power also uses derivatives to hedge a portion of its anticipated BGSS obligations with PSE&G. For additional information see Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Changes in the fair market value of these derivative contracts are recorded in earnings.
Interest Rates
PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Exposure to this risk is managed by targeting a balanced debt maturity profile which limits refinancing in any given period or interest rate environment. PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power may use a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swaps.
Cash Flow Hedges
PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and effective as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to variable-rate debt instruments. There were no outstanding interest rate hedges as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $(5) million and $(6) million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are $(3) million.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
The following are the fair values of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables also include disclosures for offsetting derivative assets and liabilities which are subject to a master netting or similar agreement. In general, the terms of the agreements provide that in the event of an early termination the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. Accordingly, and in accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, these positions are offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of PSEG. For additional information see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.
Substantially all derivative instruments are contracts subject to master netting agreements. Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following tabular disclosure does not include the offsetting of trade receivables and payables.

(A)Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral (received) posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PSEG Power had net cash collateral (receipts) payments to counterparties of $1,527 million and $844 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral (receipts) payments, $1,321 million and $615 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $1,321 million as of March 31, 2022, $(22) million was netted against current assets, $(15) million was netted against noncurrent assets, $830 million was netted against current liabilities and $528 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities. Of the $615 million as of December 31, 2021, $(30) million was netted against current assets, $(13) million was netted against noncurrent assets, $323 million was netted against current liabilities and $335 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities.
Certain of PSEG Power’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require PSEG Power to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon PSEG Power’s credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit risk-related contingent features stipulate that if PSEG Power were to be downgraded to a below investment grade rating by S&P or Moody’s, it would be required to provide additional collateral. A below investment grade credit rating for PSEG Power would represent a two level downgrade from its current Moody’s and S&P ratings. This incremental collateral

requirement can offset collateral requirements related to other derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master agreements. PSEG Power also enters into commodity transactions on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as counterparties to each trade. Transactions on the NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margin requirements.
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the NYMEX and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $206 million as of March 31, 2022 and $75 million as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $28 million and $29 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under master agreements and net of margin posted. If PSEG Power had been downgraded to a below investment grade rating, it would have had additional collateral obligations of $178 million and $46 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

Credit Risk
Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that PSEG Power would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. PSEG has established credit policies that it believes significantly minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
The following table provides information on PSEG Power’s credit risk from wholesale counterparties, net of collateral, as of March 31, 2022. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, which is determined by the lowest rating from S&P, Moody’s or an internal scoring model. In addition, it provides guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the quality of PSEG Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties.
As of March 31, 2022, 96% of the net credit exposure for PSEG Power’s wholesale operations was with investment grade counterparties. Credit exposure is defined as any positive results of netting accounts receivable/accounts payable and the forward value of open positions (which includes all financial instruments including derivatives, NPNS and non-derivatives).

As of March 31, 2022, collateral held from counterparties where PSEG Power had credit exposure included $11 million in letters of credit.
As of March 31, 2022, PSEG Power had 102 active counterparties.
PSE&G’s supplier master agreements are approved by the BPU and govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts. These agreements define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements and allow a supplier to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day the procurement transaction is executed, compared to the forward price curve for energy on the valuation day. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post a parental guaranty or other security instrument such as a letter of credit or cash, as collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. As of March 31, 2022, PSEG held parental guaranties, letters of credit and cash as security. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of March 31, 2022, PSE&G had credit exposure of $179 million with its suppliers. PSE&G had no credit exposure with PSEG Power.
PSE&G is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the BPU-approved BGS tariffs. PSE&G’s counterparty credit risk is mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance for fair value measurement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from independent sources and those based on an entity’s own assumptions. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement into three levels:
Level 1—measurements utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PSEG and PSE&G have the ability to access. These consist primarily of listed equity securities and money market mutual funds, as well as natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX.
Level 2—measurements include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. These consist primarily of non-exchange traded derivatives such as forward contracts or options and most fixed income securities.
Level 3—measurements use unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities, based on the best information available and might include an entity’s own data and assumptions. In some valuations, the inputs used may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In these cases, the financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These consist primarily of certain electric load contracts.
Certain derivative transactions may transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 if inputs become unobservable and internal modeling techniques are employed to determine fair value. Conversely, measurements may transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 if the inputs become observable.
The following tables present information about PSEG’s and PSE&G’s respective assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, including the fair value measurements and the levels of inputs used in determining those fair values. Amounts shown for PSEG include the amounts shown for PSE&G.

(A)Represents money market mutual funds.
(B)Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange.
Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts based on market prices, basis adjustments and other premiums where adjustments and premiums are not considered significant to the overall inputs.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs are used for the valuation of certain contracts. See “Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements” below for more information on the utilization of unobservable inputs.
(C)The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency of $2 million in the NDT Fund as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The NDT Fund maintains investments in various equity and fixed income securities. The Rabbi Trust maintains investments in a Russell 3000 index fund and various fixed income securities. These securities are generally valued with prices that are either exchange provided (equity securities) or market transactions for comparable securities and/or broker quotes (fixed income securities).
Level 1—Investments in marketable equity securities within the NDT Fund are primarily investments in common stocks across a broad range of industries and sectors. Most equity securities are priced utilizing the principal market close price or, in some cases, midpoint, bid or ask price. Certain other equity securities in the NDT and Rabbi Trust Funds consist primarily of investments in money market funds which seek a high level

of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. To pursue its goals, the funds normally invest in diversified portfolios of high quality, short-term, dollar-denominated debt securities and government securities. The funds’ net asset value is priced and published daily. The Rabbi Trust’s Russell 3000 index fund is valued based on quoted prices in an active market and can be redeemed daily without restriction.
Level 2—NDT and Rabbi Trust fixed income securities include investment grade corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and certain government and U.S. Treasury obligations or Federal Agency asset-backed securities and municipal bonds with a wide range of maturities. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, they are priced using an evaluated pricing methodology that varies by asset class and reflects observable market information such as the most recent exchange price or quoted bid for similar securities. Market-based standard inputs typically include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads. Certain short-term investments are valued using observable market prices or market parameters such as time-to-maturity, coupon rate, quality rating and current yield.
(D)Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for additional detail.
Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements
For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations for contracts with tenors that extend into periods with no observable pricing. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 because the model inputs generally are not observable. PSEG considers credit and non-performance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Levels 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data, in its assessment of credit and non-performance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and non-performance risk were not material to the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2022, PSEG carried $4.3 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which $7 million of net liabilities were measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and are considered immaterial.
As of March 31, 2021, PSEG carried $3.4 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which $1 million of net liabilities were measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and are considered immaterial.
There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 18. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends
EPS
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus dilutive potential shares related to PSEG’s stock based compensation. The following table shows the effect of these dilutive potential shares on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted EPS:

Approximately 3 million potentially dilutive shares were excluded from total shares used to calculate the diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as their impact was antidilutive.
In 2021, the Board of Directors authorized senior management to implement a $500 million share repurchase program. In December 2021, under this authorization PSEG entered into an open market share repurchase plan for $250 million of our common shares that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There were no common share repurchases during the fourth quarter of 2021. During January and through February 16, 2022, PSEG purchased the full $250 million of common shares under the open market share repurchase plan.
In March 2022, PSEG entered into a Master Confirmation and Supplemental Confirmation with an investment banking firm to effect an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR Agreement) of $250 million of shares of PSEG’s outstanding Common Stock. The share repurchases pursuant to the ASR Agreement will be completed under PSEG’s current share repurchase authorization. Under the ASR Agreement, PSEG received initial delivery of approximately 3.0 million shares of Common Stock in mid-March, representing approximately 80% of the total number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $65.72 on March 11, 2022. The total number of shares that PSEG will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount, and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. The ASR Agreement provides that final settlement of the shares of Common Stock repurchased under the ASR Agreement will generally occur in June 2022, unless the scheduled termination date of the ASR Agreement is accelerated. If the final settlement is in PSEG’s favor, the obligations to PSEG will be satisfied by delivery of additional shares of PSEG’s Common Stock and cash payment for any fractional shares. If final settlement is in the investment banking firm’s favor, PSEG’s obligations will be satisfied by delivery of either cash or shares of PSEG’s Common Stock at PSEG’s election.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)
This combined MD&A is separately filed by Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG) and Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G). Information contained herein relating to any individual company is filed by such company on its own behalf.
PSEG’s business consists of two reportable segments, PSE&G and PSEG Power LLC (PSEG Power), our principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries, which are:
PSE&G—which is a public utility engaged principally in the transmission of electricity and distribution of electricity and natural gas in certain areas of New Jersey. PSE&G is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PSE&G also invests in regulated solar generation projects and energy efficiency and related programs in New Jersey, which are regulated by the BPU, and
PSEG Power—which is an energy supply company that integrates the operations of its merchant nuclear generating assets with its fuel supply functions through competitive energy sales via its principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries. PSEG Power’s subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states in which they operate.
PSEG’s other direct wholly owned subsidiaries are: PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (Energy Holdings), which holds our investments in offshore wind ventures and legacy portfolio of lease investments; PSEG Long Island LLC (PSEG LI), which operates the Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) transmission and distribution (T&D) system under an Operations Services Agreement (OSA); and PSEG Services Corporation (Services), which provides certain management, administrative and general services to PSEG and its subsidiaries at cost.
Our business discussion in Part I, Item 1. Business of our 2021 Annual Report on 10-K (Form 10-K) provides a review of the regions and markets where we operate and compete, as well as our strategy for conducting our businesses within these markets, focusing on operational excellence, financial strength and making disciplined investments. Our risk factor discussion in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of Form 10-K provides information about factors that could have a material adverse impact on our businesses. The following supplements that discussion and the discussion included in the Executive Overview of 2021 and Future Outlook provided in Item 7 in our Form 10-K by describing significant events and business developments that have occurred during 2021 and changes to the key factors that we expect may drive our future performance. The following discussion refers to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Statements) and the Related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes). This discussion should be read in conjunction with such Statements, Notes and the Form 10-K.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF 2022 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
We are a public utility holding company that, acting through our wholly owned subsidiaries, is a predominantly regulated electric and gas utility and a carbon-free generation and infrastructure company. We are focused on meeting customer expectations and being well aligned with public policy objectives by investing to modernize our energy infrastructure, improve reliability, increase energy efficiency and deliver cleaner energy. Our business plan focuses on achieving growth by allocating capital toward regulated and contracted investments in an effort to improve the sustainability and predictability of our business and reduce the impact of fluctuating commodity prices. In furtherance of these goals, over the past few years, our investments have altered our business mix to reflect a higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G, which improves the sustainability and predictability of our earnings and cash flows. In February 2022, we completed the sale of PSEG Power’s 6,750 MW of fossil generation located in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York and Maryland, which represented an important milestone in our strategy and has further altered our business mix, resulting in an even higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G going forward and provides more financial flexibility.
The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and associated government actions and economic effects continue to impact our businesses as discussed further below.
PSE&G
At PSE&G, our focus is on enhancing reliability and resiliency of our T&D system, meeting customer expectations and supporting public policy objectives by investing capital in T&D infrastructure and clean energy programs. For the years 2021-2025, PSE&G’s capital investment program is estimated to be in a range of $14 billion to $16 billion, resulting in an expected compound annual growth in rate base of 6.5% to 8%. The low end of this range assumes an extension of our Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP) and Clean Energy Future (CEF)-Energy Efficiency (EE) program at their average annual investment levels, as these programs are expected to continue at least at those current rates beyond their currently approved timeframe of 2023. The upper end of the range is driven by certain unapproved investment programs, including an
54


Table of Contents

Infrastructure Advancement Program (IAP) which we filed in November 2021. The IAP is a proposed $848 million investment program made over four years to improve the reliability of the “last mile” of our electric distribution system, address aging substations and gas metering and regulating stations, and invest in electric vehicle charging infrastructure at our facilities to support the electrification of our fleet over the coming years. The upper end of the range also includes an extension of our Energy Strong program, which otherwise concludes in 2023, as well as the remaining portion of our CEF proposal (portion of Electric Vehicle (EV) and Energy Storage (ES) programs) and a potentially higher amount of investment for GSMP and CEF-EE beyond current levels. During 2022, we expect to file for extensions of our GSMP and CEF-EE program, which we expect will conclude in the first half of 2023. A remaining component of our CEF-EV program related to medium and heavy duty charging infrastructure is the subject of a stakeholder process that the BPU began in 2021. We currently anticipate that this effort will conclude with PSE&G submitting a filing later in 2022 targeting infrastructure investments for the medium and heavy duty EV market. Our CEF-ES program is being held in abeyance pending future policy guidance from the BPU.
We also continue to invest in transmission infrastructure in order to maintain and enhance reliability and resiliency, as well as to support the achievement of state energy policy objectives. As part of a solicitation by the BPU, we proposed two transmission projects to support the development of offshore wind which are being evaluated by the BPU and PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM), with project awards expected in late 2022.
PSEG Power
In July 2020, we announced that we were exploring strategic alternatives for PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet with the intention of accelerating the transformation of our business into a predominantly regulated electric and gas utility, with a significantly contracted generation business.
In May 2021, PSEG Power Ventures LLC (Power Ventures), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, entered into a purchase agreement with Quattro Solar, LLC, an affiliate of LS Power, relating to the sale by Power Ventures of 100% of its ownership interest in PSEG Solar Source LLC (Solar Source) including its related assets and liabilities. The transaction closed in June 2021.
In August 2021, PSEG entered into two agreements to sell PSEG Power’s 6,750 MW fossil generating portfolio to newly formed subsidiaries of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P., a fund controlled by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC. In February 2022, PSEG completed the sale of this fossil generating portfolio. These transformative transactions have reduced overall business risk and earnings volatility, improve PSEG’s financial flexibility and are consistent with PSEG’s climate strategy and sustainability efforts, which are to focus on clean energy investments, methane reduction, and the transition to carbon-free generation.
We have sought to achieve operational excellence and manage costs in order to optimize cash flow generation from our nuclear fleet in light of low wholesale power and gas prices, environmental considerations and competitive market forces that reward efficiency and reliability. During the first three months of 2022, our nuclear units generated 8.4 terawatt hours and operated at a capacity factor of 100%. PSEG Power’s hedging practices help to manage a significant amount of the volatility of the merchant nuclear power business. More than 90% of PSEG Power’s expected gross margin in 2022 relates to hedging of our energy margin, our expected revenues from the capacity market mechanisms, Zero Emission Certificate (ZEC) revenues and, certain gas operations and ancillary service payments such as reactive power. While this limits our exposure to decreasing prices, our ability to realize benefits from rising market prices is also limited. During the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022, forward energy prices have demonstrated considerable price volatility and have increased dramatically. This has led to significantly higher variation in our daily collateral requirements which have also increased substantially over that time period for hedge positions that are out-of-the money. PSEG Power’s net cash collateral postings related to these hedge positions increased from $343 million at the end of June 2021 to $1.5 billion at the end of March 2022. Subsequent to March 2022, collateral postings continued to increase and we continued to experience significantly higher variation in our daily collateral requirements. Net cash collateral postings were $2.6 billion at the end of April 2022. The majority of this collateral relates to hedges in place through the end of 2023 and is expected to be returned as we satisfy our obligations under those contracts. PSEG continues to maintain sufficient liquidity as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
PSEG LI
Following the effects of Tropical Storm Isaias, LIPA issued a report with recommendations for improvements to PSEG LI’s structure and processes and recommended that LIPA either renegotiate or terminate the OSA. LIPA and PSEG LI agreed to an amended OSA which received final approval by the New York Comptroller on April 1, 2022. As a result, the amended OSA is effective and of retroactive effect to January 1, 2022 for purposes of compensation. The OSA contract term continues through 2025, but can be extended for five years subject to a mutual agreement of the parties. For additional information, see Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

Climate Strategy and Sustainability Efforts
For more than a century, our mission has been to provide safe access to an around-the-clock supply of reliable, affordable energy. Building on this mission, we are working toward a future where customers universally use less energy, and it’s cleaner, safer and delivered more reliably than ever. We have established a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 goal that includes direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) and indirect GHG emissions from operations (Scope 2) at both PSEG Power and PSE&G (covering our electric and natural gas utility operations), assuming advances in technology, public policy and customer behavior. Scope 1 emissions include power generation, methane leaks, vehicle fleet emissions, sulfur hexafluoride and refrigerant leaks. Scope 2 emissions include both gas and electric purchased energy for our PSE&G facilities and line losses. We have also committed to the United Nations-backed Race to Zero campaign. We have agreed to develop and submit science-based emission reduction targets following the criteria and recommendations of the Science Based Targets Initiative by September 2023. Targets will encompass Scopes 1, 2, and 3 (which includes downstream/customer use of energy products as well as purchased goods and services for our own operations) and must be in line with 1.5oC emissions scenarios.
PSE&G has undertaken a number of initiatives that support the reduction of GHG emissions and the implementation of energy efficiency initiatives. PSE&G’s recently approved CEF-EE, CEF-Energy Cloud and CEF-EV programs and the proposed CEF-ES program are intended to support New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan through programs designed to help customers increase their energy efficiency, support the expansion of the EV infrastructure in the State, install energy storage capacity to supplement solar generation and enhance grid resiliency, install smart meters and supporting infrastructure to allow for the integration of other clean energy technologies and to more efficiently respond to weather and other outage events.
In addition, PSE&G is committed to the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to almost two million customers throughout New Jersey and we are equally committed to reducing GHG emissions associated with such operations. The first phase of our GSMP replaced approximately 450 miles of cast-iron and unprotected steel gas main infrastructure, and the second phase of this program is expected to replace an additional 875 miles of gas pipes through 2023. The GSMP is designed to significantly reduce natural gas leaks in our distribution system, which would reduce the release of methane, a potent GHG, into the air. Through GSMP II, from 2018 through 2023 we expect to reduce methane leaks by approximately 22% system wide and assuming a continuation of GSMP, we expect to achieve an overall reduction in methane emissions of approximately 60% over the 2011 through 2030 period. As noted previously, later in 2022 we will file for an extension of GSMP which would continue and accelerate these methane reductions. We also continue to assess physical risks of climate change and adapt our capital investment program to improve the reliability and resiliency of our system in an environment of increasing frequency and severity of weather events, notably through our investments in our Energy Strong program. These investments have proven effective in recent severe weather events, including Tropical Storm Ida in August 2021, which brought significant flooding to our service territory but did not result in the loss of any of our electric distribution substations.
We also continue to focus on providing cleaner energy for our customers. Our priority is to preserve the economic viability of our nuclear units, which provide over 90% of the carbon-free energy in New Jersey, by advocating for state and federal policies that recognize the value of emission-free generation and reduce market risk. We also continue to explore investment opportunities in offshore wind, both generation and transmission to support the cost-efficient connection of offshore wind generation projects to the New Jersey electric system.
Offshore Wind
In April 2021, PSEG completed its acquisition of a 25% equity interest in Ørsted North America Inc.’s (Ørsted) Ocean Wind 1 project which is currently in development. Ocean Wind 1 was selected by New Jersey to be the first offshore wind farm as part of the State’s intention to add 7,500 MW of offshore wind generating capacity by 2035. The Ocean Wind 1 project is expected to achieve full commercial operation in 2025.
Additionally, PSEG and Ørsted each owns 50% of Garden State Offshore Energy LLC (GSOE) which holds rights to an offshore wind lease area just south of New Jersey. In December 2021, the Maryland Public Service Commission awarded Ørsted’s 846 MW Skipjack 2 project Offshore Renewable Energy Credits under Maryland’s second round of offshore wind solicitations. Skipjack 2 utilizes a portion of the GSOE lease area, and PSEG has an option to purchase 50% of Skipjack 2 and the previously awarded 120 MW Skipjack 1 project, which will be constructed concurrently. PSEG expects to determine whether to exercise this option during 2022. PSEG and Ørsted are also exploring further opportunities to develop the remaining GSOE lease area.
In April 2021, PJM announced the opening of the first public policy Order 1000 bid window that would utilize the state agreement approach for transmission projects to support New Jersey’s planned offshore wind generation. The state agreement approach requires customers in the requesting state - in this case New Jersey - to pay for the costs of these public policy transmission projects. In September 2021, PSEG and Ørsted jointly submitted several proposals in response to the solicitation, including multi-spur options and an offshore network proposal. If awarded, the projects would be developed through a 50/50 joint venture with Ørsted. The BPU has announced that it will select the winning proposals in the second half of 2022 with likely in-service dates by 2030.

Ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have incurred additional expenses to protect our employees and customers. The pandemic has also impacted PSE&G’s sales, with a reduction in demand from its commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, largely offset by increases in residential sales volumes. As a result, there has been no substantive net margin impact and changes are now largely addressed through the Conservation Incentive Program (CIP) that became effective in 2021. The most substantive impact of the pandemic has been adverse changes to residential and C&I payment patterns as the State of New Jersey has imposed a moratorium on non-safety related service disconnections for non-payment since March 2020 through mid-March 2022. While collections and shut-offs re-commenced after the moratorium ended, the State passed legislation that provides protection from shut-offs to customers who apply for payment assistance programs by June 15, 2022. Those applying for assistance will be protected from shut-offs while awaiting their application determination. As a result, since March 2020, PSE&G experienced a significant decrease in cash inflow and higher Accounts Receivable aging and an associated increase in bad debt expense, which we expect will take the next several years to fully return to normal levels. Over that time, PSE&G’s allowance for credit losses has increased by approximately $291 million. PSE&G’s electric distribution bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause (SBC) mechanism. PSE&G has deferred its incremental gas distribution bad debt expense as a result of COVID-19 as a Regulatory Asset and will seek recovery of that cost, as well as other net incremental COVID-19 costs, in its next base rate case.
The BPU has authorized regulated utilities in New Jersey, including PSE&G, to defer prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 through December 31, 2022 for recovery in a future rate case. Deferred costs are to be offset by any federal or state assistance that the utility may receive as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2022, PSE&G has recorded a Regulatory Asset related to COVID-19 to defer incremental costs of $120 million, which PSE&G believes are recoverable under the BPU Order.
The potential future impact of the pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, will depend on a number of factors outside of our control. These include the duration and severity of the outbreaks as well as third-party actions taken to contain their spread and mitigate their public health effects, and governmental or regulatory actions regarding customer collections, potential limitations on rate increases, recovery of incremental costs, and other matters. We cannot estimate the ultimate impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Operational Excellence
We emphasize excellence in operational performance while developing opportunities in both our regulated and competitive businesses. In 2022, our utility continued its efforts to control costs while maintaining strong operational performance.
Financial Strength
Our financial strength is predicated on a solid balance sheet, positive operating cash flow and reasonable risk-adjusted returns on increased investment. Our financial position remained strong during the first three months of 2022 as we
maintained sufficient liquidity, including the extension of the expiration of our revolving credit facilities from March 2024 to March 2027,
completed the sale of PSEG Power’s 6,750 MW portfolio of fossil generation assets,
maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and
increased our indicative annual dividend per share for 2022 to $2.16.
In 2021, the Board of Directors authorized senior management to implement a $500 million share repurchase program. In December 2021, under this authorization, we entered into an open market share repurchase plan for $250 million of our common shares. During January and through February 16, 2022, we purchased the full $250 million of common shares under the open market share repurchase plan. In March 2022, under this authorization, PSEG entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement for $250 million of our common shares. See Note 18. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends for additional information.
We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements, as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources without the issuance of new equity. Our planned capital requirements, which are driven by growth in our regulated utility, and the sale of our fossil generating fleet enhances our business profile and underpins solid investment grade credit ratings with improved financial flexibility. In conjunction with the announced sale of our Fossil business, in October 2021 we redeemed all of PSEG Power’s remaining debt. In March 2022, PSEG Power entered into a variable-rate three-year term loan agreement for $1.25 billion.

(B)Net of tax (expense) benefit of $26 million and $(23) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(C)Net of tax (expense) benefit of $237 million and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Our Net Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was driven primarily by
higher MTM losses at PSEG Power due to rising energy prices,
unrealized losses on equity securities in 2022 in the NDT Fund as compared to realized gains in 2021, and
an impairment loss on the sale of the Fossil generation assets at PSEG Power (see Item 1. Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for additional information),
partially offset by higher earnings due to continued investments in T&D programs at PSE&G, and
the favorable impact of the CIP in 2022 at PSE&G.

Disciplined Investment
We utilize rigorous criteria and consider a number of external factors, focusing on the value for our stakeholders, as well as other impacts, when determining how and when to efficiently deploy capital. We principally explore opportunities for investment in areas that complement our existing business and provide reasonable risk-adjusted returns and continuously assess and optimize our business mix as appropriate. In the first three months of 2022, we
made additional investments in T&D infrastructure projects on time and on budget,
continued to execute our Energy Efficiency and other existing BPU-approved utility programs, and
continued to evaluate potential additional offshore wind opportunities, including submitting a number of proposals in response to an offshore transmission solicitation.
Regulatory, Legislative and Other Developments
In our pursuit of operational excellence, financial strength and disciplined investment, we closely monitor and engage with stakeholders on significant regulatory and legislative developments. Transmission planning rules and wholesale power market design are of particular importance to our results and we continue to advocate for policies and rules that promote fair and efficient electricity markets. For additional information about regulatory, legislative and other developments that may affect us, see Part I, Item 1. Business—Regulatory Issues in our Form 10-K and Item 5. Other Information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Transmission Rate Proceedings and Return on Equity (ROE)
In October 2021, FERC approved a settlement agreement effective August 1, 2021 that we reached with the BPU and the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (New Jersey Rate Counsel) about the level of PSE&G’s base transmission ROE and other formula rate matters. The settlement reduces PSE&G’s base ROE from 11.18% to 9.9% and makes several other changes regarding the recovery of certain costs. The agreement provides that the settling parties will not seek changes to our transmission formula rate for three years. We have implemented the terms of the agreement and PJM issued refunds to customers in January 2022.
Wholesale Power Market Design
In July 2021, PJM submitted to FERC a proposal to replace the extended Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) with new provisions that accommodate state public policy programs that do not attempt to set the price of capacity. Under the PJM proposal, PSEG Power’s New Jersey nuclear plants that receive ZEC payments would not be subject to the MOPR. In September 2021, FERC issued a notice that it was not able to act on PJM’s proposed changes to the MOPR because of a split among the Commissioners on the lawfulness of PJM’s proposal. Therefore, PJM’s rules became automatically effective as of September 29, 2021 and will apply to the next base residual auction in June 2022. Under current FERC rules, we continue to earn a 50 basis point adder to that base ROE for our membership in PJM. Elimination of the adder for Regional Transmission Organization membership could reduce PSE&G’s annual Net Income and annual cash inflows by approximately $30 million-$40 million.
In November 2021, a group of generators challenged the new MOPR rules in the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on the grounds that FERC’s inaction was unlawful. PSEG has intervened in the proceeding in support of the new MOPR rules. We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
In another order related to the auction, FERC found that the current rules related to the Market Seller Offer Cap were unjust and unreasonable and ultimately eliminated the default offer cap. In its place, FERC adopted a unit-specific approach to reviewing certain capacity market offers. These new rules could result in lower capacity prices since market offers for many resource types will need to be approved by the Independent Market Monitor and PJM.
In July 2021, the BPU issued a report on its investigation related to whether New Jersey can achieve its long-term clean energy and environmental objectives under the current resource adequacy procurement paradigm. The report found that participating in the regional market is the most efficient way for New Jersey to achieve its clean energy goals and therefore consideration of leaving the regional market is paused while important market reforms are being considered at the regional and national level. However, the report recommends that New Jersey continue to explore a New Jersey-only or regional competitive auction design if potential reforms at the regional and national level are not sufficient to allow New Jersey to achieve its clean energy goals. We cannot predict whether the BPU will take any measures in the future that will have an impact on the capacity market or our generating stations.
Environmental Regulation
We are subject to liability under environmental laws for the costs and penalties of remediating contamination of property now or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances that we generated. In particular, the historic
59


Table of Contents

operations of PSEG companies and the operations of numerous other companies along the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers are alleged by Federal and State agencies to have discharged substantial contamination into the Passaic River/Newark Bay Complex in violation of various statutes. In addition, PSEG Power has retained ownership of certain assets and liabilities excluded from the sale of its fossil generation business, primarily related to obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation obligations under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act and the Connecticut Transfer Act. The amounts for any such environmental remediation are not estimable, but may be material. We are also currently involved in a number of proceedings relating to sites where other hazardous substances may have been discharged and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future, and the costs and penalties of any such remediation efforts could be material.
For further information regarding the matters described above, as well as other matters that may impact our financial condition and results of operations, see Item 1. Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.
Nuclear
In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs by the BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear plants and recovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour used (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) generated in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). Each nuclear plant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022.
In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs for the three-year eligibility period starting June 2022 at the same approximate $10 per MWh received during the current ZEC period through May 2022 referenced above. As a result, each nuclear plant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for an additional three years starting June 2022. The terms and conditions of this April 2021 ZEC award are the same as the current ZEC period as discussed above. While the ZEC program has preserved these units to date, PSEG will simultaneously seek long-term legislative or other solutions for our New Jersey nuclear plants that sufficiently values them for their carbon-free, fuel diversity and resilience attributes. No assurances can be given regarding future ZEC awards or other long-term solutions.
The award of ZECs attaches certain obligations, including an obligation to repay the ZECs in the event that a plant ceases operations during the period that it was awarded ZECs, subject to certain exceptions specified in the ZEC legislation. PSEG Power has and will continue to recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. Further, the ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source. For instance, the New Jersey Rate Counsel, in written comments filed with the BPU, has advocated for the BPU to offset market benefits resulting from New Jersey’s rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative from the ZEC payment. PSEG intends to vigorously defend against these arguments. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In May 2021, the New Jersey Rate Counsel filed an appeal with the New Jersey Appellate Division of the BPU’s April 2021 decision. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In the event that (i) the ZEC program is overturned or is otherwise materially adversely modified through legal process; or (ii) any of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants is not sufficiently valued for its environmental, fuel diversity or resilience attributes in future periods and does not otherwise experience a material financial change that would remove the need for such attributes to be sufficiently valued, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Alternatively, even with sufficient valuation of these attributes, if the financial condition of the plants is materially adversely impacted by changes in commodity prices, FERC’s changes to the capacity market construct (absent sufficient capacity revenues provided under a program approved by the BPU in accordance with a FERC-authorized capacity mechanism), or, in the case of the Salem nuclear plants, decisions by the EPA and state environmental regulators regarding the implementation of Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act and related state regulations, or other factors, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Ceasing operations of these plants would result in a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s results of operations.
Tax Legislation
A prolonged coronavirus pandemic, further economic stimulus, or future federal and state tax legislation could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and cash tax position.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA), enacted in late December 2020, provides a 30% investment tax credit (ITC) for offshore wind projects that begin construction before December 31, 2025. In addition, on December 31, 2020, Notice 2021-05 was issued. For qualifying offshore wind projects, the notice extends the four year continuity safe harbor to ten calendar years commencing the calendar year after which construction of the project begins. Subject to potential additional legislation, the CAA and the associated Notice will impact our offshore wind investment.
In July 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final and proposed regulations addressing the limitation on deductible business interest expense contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These regulations retroactively allow depreciation to be
60


Table of Contents

added back in computing the 30% adjusted taxable income (ATI) cap, increasing the amount of interest that can be deducted by unregulated businesses in years before 2022. For 2022 and after, the regulations continue to disallow the addback of depreciation in the computation of ATI, effectively lowering the cap on the amount of deductible business interest. The portion of PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s business interest expense that was disallowed in 2018 and 2019 will now be deductible in those respective years.
In March 2020, the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted. The CARES Act allows a five-year carryback of any net operating loss (NOL) generated in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. The CARES Act allowed us to carry back the 2018 tax NOL generated by the final Section 163(j) regulations, which will provide a future tax benefit, subject to approval by the IRS and the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Future Outlook
Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to maintain strong operational and financial performance to capitalize on or otherwise address regulatory and legislative developments that impact our business and to respond to the issues and challenges described below. In order to do this, we will continue to:
obtain approval of and execute on our utility capital investment program to modernize our infrastructure, improve the reliability of the service we provide to our customers, and align our sustainability and climate goals with New Jersey’s energy policy,
manage the risks and opportunities in environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, which is an integral part of our long-term strategy to be a clean energy leader for the benefit of all stakeholders,
focus on controlling costs while maintaining safety, reliability and customer satisfaction and complying with applicable standards and requirements,
deliver on our human capital management strategy to attract, develop and retain a diverse, high-performing workforce,
successfully manage our energy obligations and re-contract our open supply positions in response to changes in prices and demand,
advocate for federal and state programs to properly value New Jersey’s largest carbon-free generation resource in nuclear and measures that promote fair and efficient electricity markets, including recognition of the cost of emissions,
engage constructively with our multiple stakeholders, including regulators, government officials, customers, employees, investors, suppliers and the communities in which we do business,
seek a fair return for our T&D investments through our transmission formula rate, distribution infrastructure and clean energy investment programs and periodic distribution base rate case proceedings, and
successfully operate the LIPA T&D system and manage LIPA’s fuel supply and generation dispatch obligations.
In addition to the risks described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K, for 2022 and beyond, the key issues and challenges we expect our business to confront include:
regulatory and political uncertainty, both with regard to future energy policy, design of energy and capacity markets, transmission policy, the role of distribution utilities and decarbonization impacts, and environmental regulation, as well as with respect to the outcome of any legal, regulatory or other proceedings,
the continuing impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the associated regulations and economic impacts, including continued supply chain constraints and increases in the cost of goods and services, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic,
increases in commodity prices and customer rates, which may adversely affect customer collections and future regulatory proceedings,
future changes in federal and state tax laws or any other associated tax guidance, and
the impact of changes in demand, natural gas and electricity prices, and expanded efforts to decarbonize several sectors of the economy.
We continually assess a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term stockholder value and address the interests of our multiple stakeholders. In assessing our options, we consider a wide variety of factors, including the performance and prospects of our businesses; the views of investors, regulators, rating agencies, customers and employees; our existing indebtedness and restrictions it imposes; and tax considerations, among other things. Strategic options available to us include:
61


Table of Contents

investments in PSE&G, including T&D facilities to enhance reliability, resiliency and modernize the system to meet the growing needs and increasingly higher expectations of customers, and clean energy investments such as CEF-EE, CEF-EV, CEF-ES and Solar,
investments in regional offshore wind with long-term contracts or regulated transmission returns that provide revenue predictability and a reasonable risk-adjusted return,
continued operation of our nuclear generation facilities, to the extent there is sufficient certainty that their operation will render an acceptable risk-adjusted return, and
acquisitions, dispositions, development and other transactions involving our common stock, assets or businesses that could provide value to customers and shareholders.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will successfully develop and execute any of the strategic options noted above, or any additional options we may consider in the future. The execution of any such strategic plan may not have the expected benefits or may have unexpected adverse consequences.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 as Compared to 2021
Operating Revenues increased $211 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.
Delivery Revenues increased $93 million due primarily to
Gas distribution revenues increased $63 million due primarily to increases of $28 million from CIP decoupling, $26 million in GSMP II collections, $7 million due to higher sales volumes and $2 million in Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC) collections.
Electric distribution revenues increased $20 million due primarily to $16 million from CIP decoupling, $3 million from higher sales volumes and $1 million in GPRC collections.
Electric and Gas distribution revenues also increased $14 million due to a net decrease in the flowback to customers of excess deferred tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income tax benefits resulting from rate reductions, which is offset in Income Tax Expense.
Transmission revenues were $4 million lower due primarily to the estimated impact of the ROE settlement, partially offset by an increase in revenue requirements attributable to higher rate base investment.
Commodity Revenues increased $122 million as a result of higher Gas revenues and higher Electric revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both gas and electric are entirely offset by the changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of basic gas supply service (BGSS) and basic generation service (BGS) to retail customers.
Gas commodity revenues increased $120 million due primarily to $115 million from higher BGSS prices and $5 million from higher BGSS sales volumes.
Electric commodity revenues increased $2 million due primarily to a $16 million increase from higher sales volumes, partially offset by $13 million in lower BGS prices.
Clause Revenues decreased $10 million due primarily to a $14 million decrease in Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC) deferrals and a $2 million decrease in GPRC deferrals, partially offset by higher SBC revenues of $6 million. The changes in TAC and GPRC deferral amounts and SBC revenues are entirely offset by changes in the amortization of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities and related costs in O&M, D&A, Interest and Income Tax Expenses. PSE&G does not earn margin on TAC and GPRC deferrals or SBC revenue.
Other Operating Revenues increased $6 million due primarily to a $7 million increase in appliance service revenues, partially offset by a $3 million decrease in Transition Renewable Energy Certificate (TREC) revenues. Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) and ZEC revenues were unchanged. The TREC, SREC and ZEC components of other operating revenues are entirely offset by changes to Energy Costs.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs increased $119 million. This is entirely offset by changes in Commodity Revenues and Other Operating Revenues.
63


Table of Contents

Operation and Maintenance increased $39 million due primarily to increases of $18 million in clause and renewable-related expenses, $5 million in distribution expenditures, $4 million in injuries and damages, $2 million in transmission expenditures, $2 million in appliance service costs and $8 million in other operating expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization was unchanged due primarily to a $16 million increase related to additional plant in service offset by a $12 million decrease due to new transmission depreciation rates that became effective in August 2021 and a $5 million decrease in the amortization of Regulatory Assets.
Other Income (Deductions) decreased $9 million primarily due to an $8 million decrease in the equity portion of the allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) and a $1 million decrease in solar loan interest.
Net Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs) increased $4 million due primarily to a $13 million decrease in the amortization of the net actuarial loss, partially offset by a $5 million decrease in the expected return on plan assets and a $4 million increase in interest cost.
Interest Expense increased $5 million due primarily to a $2 million increase in AFUDC in 2022, a $1 million increase from the Green Bond issuance in 2022 and a $1 million increase from net debt issuances in 2021.
Income Tax Expense increased $10 million due primarily to higher pre-tax income.

Operating Revenues decreased $707 million due primarily to changes in generation and gas supply revenues.
Generation Revenues decreased $885 million due primarily to
a net decrease of $781 million due to higher MTM losses in 2022 as compared to 2021. Of this amount, there was a $919 million decrease due to changes in forward prices, partially offset by a $138 million increase due to lower losses on positions reclassified to realized upon settlement in 2022,
a net decrease of $68 million due primarily to lower volumes of electricity sold under the BGS contracts,
a net decrease of $21 million due primarily to lower volumes sold in the PJM, New England (NE) and New York (NY) regions primarily due to the sale of the fossil generating plants, partially offset by higher average realized prices in the NE and NY regions, and
a net decrease of $11 million in solar revenues due to the sale of the solar plants in June 2021.
Gas Supply Revenues increased $179 million due primarily to
an increase of $147 million in sales under the BGSS contract due primarily to higher prices of $139 million and higher sales volumes of $8 million, and
64


Table of Contents

a net increase of $42 million related to sales to third parties, primarily due to higher average sales prices,
partially offset by a decrease of $10 million due to higher MTM losses in 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to changes in forward prices.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs represent the cost of generation, which includes fuel costs for generation as well as purchased energy in the market, and gas purchases to meet PSEG Power’s obligation under its BGSS contract with PSE&G. Energy Costs increased $179 million due to
Gas costs increased $175 million due mainly to
an increase of $150 million in costs primarily related to sales under the BGSS contract, of which $146 million was due to the higher average cost of gas and $4 million to higher send out volumes, and
a net increase of $26 million related to sales to third parties, primarily due to an increase in the average cost of gas.
Generation costs increased $4 million due primarily to
a net increase of $31 million in fuel costs, reflecting higher gas prices in the PJM, NY, and NE regions, partially offset by lower gas volumes caused by the sale of the fossil generating plants. Additionally, there was a decrease in coal costs in the NE region due to the retirement of the Bridgeport Harbor 3 (BH3) plant effective May 31, 2021, and
a net increase of $8 million due to net MTM losses in 2022 as compared to net MTM gains in 2021 reclassified to realized upon settlement in 2022,
partially offset by a net decrease of $19 million in energy purchases due primarily to lower renewable energy credit requirements caused by decreases in load served in the PJM and NE regions,
a net decrease of $11 million in transmission costs due primarily to the impact from transfer of responsibility for firm transmission services under BGS contracts from BGS suppliers to the electric distribution companies, and
a net decrease of $6 million due primarily to lower ancillary costs caused by decreases in load served in PJM.
Operation and Maintenance decreased $18 million due primarily to the sale of the fossil generating plants in February 2022 and the sale of our ownership interest in the solar plants in June 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization decreased $58 million due primarily to ceasing depreciation expense on the then pending sales of the solar and fossil generating plants since May and August 2021, respectively, and the retirement of BH3 in 2021.
(Gains) Losses on Asset Dispositions and Impairments reflects a $43 million impairment loss due to the sale of the fossil generating plants in February 2022. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments.
Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments decreased $124 million due primarily to $5 million of net realized losses in 2022 as compared to $64 million of net realized gains in 2021 on NDT Fund investments and a $54 million increase in net unrealized losses on equity investments in the NDT Fund.
Other Income (Deductions) decreased $11 million due primarily to higher purchases of NOL tax benefits under the New Jersey Technology Tax Benefit Transfer Program in 2022.
Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs) increased $5 million due to an increase in the expected return on plan assets and a decrease in the amortization of net unrecognized loss, partially offset by an increase in interest cost and co-owner charges.
Interest Expense decreased $22 million due primarily to the early redemption of all outstanding Senior Notes in 2021.
Income Tax Expense decreased $280 million due primarily to lower pre-tax income in 2022 and the purchase of more New Jersey NOL tax benefits in 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is on a consolidated basis, noting the uses and contributions, where material, of our two direct major operating subsidiaries.
65


Table of Contents

Operating Cash Flows
We continue to expect our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities to be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and shareholder dividends.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our operating cash flow decreased $555 million as compared to the same period in 2021. The net decrease was primarily due to a $639 million reduction related to net cash collateral posting requirements at PSEG Power and a net change at PSE&G, as discussed below. In addition, in 2021, there were lower tax refunds at the parent company.
Current economic conditions have adversely impacted residential and C&I customer payment patterns. During the moratorium, as previously discussed, PSE&G has experienced a significant decrease in cash inflow and higher Accounts Receivable aging and an associated increase in bad debt expense, which we expect will extend beyond the duration of the coronavirus pandemic.
PSE&G
PSE&G’s operating cash flow increased $218 million from $518 million to $736 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to higher cash collateral postings received from BGS suppliers, decreases in electric energy and vendor payments, higher tax payments in 2021 and higher earnings in 2022, partially offset by a net increase in regulatory deferrals in 2022 and higher accounts receivable reflecting lower collections due to the economic impacts of the pandemic.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
Each of our credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed below; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.
During the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022, forward energy prices have demonstrated considerable price volatility and have increased dramatically. This has led to significantly higher variation in our daily collateral requirements which have also increased substantially over that time period for hedge positions that are out-of-the money. PSEG Power’s net cash collateral postings related to these hedge positions increased from $343 million at the end of June 2021 to $1.5 billion at the end of March 2022. Subsequent to March 2022, collateral postings continued to increase and we continued to experience significantly higher variation in our daily collateral requirements. Net cash collateral postings were $2.6 billion at the end of April 2022. The majority of this collateral relates to hedges in place through the end of 2023 and is expected to be returned as we satisfy our obligations under those contracts. Proceeds from the sale of Fossil and the closing of a $1.25 billion term loan at PSEG Power have increased our available liquidity to help support our current collateral requirements in 2022.
In March and May 2021, PSEG entered into two 364-day variable rate term loan agreements for $500 million and $750 million, respectively. In August 2021, PSEG entered into a $1.25 billion, 364-day variable rate term loan agreement. In March 2022, the $500 million term loan matured and PSEG prepaid the $750 million term loan due in May 2022. These term loans are not included in the credit facility amounts presented in the following table.
In April 2022, PSEG entered into a 364-day variable rate term loan agreement for $1.5 billion.
Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of March 31, 2022 were as follows:

Table of Contents

In April 2022, PSEG Power entered into two $100 million letter of credit facilities expiring in April 2024 and 2025, respectively.
We continually monitor our liquidity and seek to add capacity as needed to meet our liquidity requirements, including to satisfy any additional collateral requirements. As of March 31, 2022, our liquidity position, including our credit facilities and access to external financing, was expected to be sufficient to meet our projected stressed requirements over our 12 month planning horizon. PSEG analyzes its liquidity requirements using stress scenarios that consider different events, including changes in commodity prices and the potential impact of PSEG Power losing its investment grade credit rating from S&P or Moody’s, which would represent a two level downgrade from its current Moody’s and S&P ratings. In the event of a deterioration of PSEG Power’s credit rating, certain of PSEG Power’s agreements allow the counterparty to demand further performance assurance. The potential additional collateral that we would be required to post under these agreements if PSEG Power were to lose its investment grade credit rating was approximately $1,270 million and $1,151 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
For additional information, see Item 1. Note 12. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Long-Term Debt Financing
During the first quarter of 2022,
PSE&G issued $500 million of 3.10% Secured Medium-Term Notes (Green Bond), Series P, due March 2032, and
PSEG Power entered into a $1.25 billion variable rate term loan agreement due March 2025.
During the next twelve months,
PSEG has $700 million of 2.65% Senior Notes maturing in November 2022.
PSEG, PSEG Power, Energy Holdings, PSEG LI and Services participate in a corporate money pool, an aggregation of daily cash balances designed to efficiently manage their respective short-term liquidity needs, which are accounted for as intercompany loans. Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) does not participate in the corporate money pool. Servco’s short-term liquidity needs are met through an account funded and owned by LIPA.
For additional information see Item 1. Note 12. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Common Stock Dividends
On April 19, 2022, PSEG’s Board of Directors approved a $0.54 per share common stock dividend for the second quarter of 2022. This reflects an indicative annual dividend rate of $2.16 per share. We expect to continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock; however, the declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our businesses, alternate investment opportunities, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. For additional information related to cash dividends on our common stock, see Item 1. Note 18. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends.
Credit Ratings
If the rating agencies lower or withdraw our credit ratings, such revisions may adversely affect the market price of our securities and serve to materially increase our cost of capital and limit access to capital. Credit Ratings shown are for securities that we typically issue. Outlooks are shown for the credit ratings at each entity and can be Stable, Negative, or Positive. There is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised by the rating agencies, if in their respective judgments, circumstances warrant. Each rating given by an agency should be evaluated independently of the other agencies’ ratings. The ratings should not be construed as an indication to buy, hold or sell any security.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

PSE&G
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PSE&G made capital expenditures of $628 million, primarily for T&D system reliability. This does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of $30 million, which are included in operating cash flows.
Other
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PSEG made capital expenditures of $25 million, excluding $33 million for nuclear fuel, primarily related to various nuclear projects.
ACCOUNTING MATTERS

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The risk inherent in our market-risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, equity security prices and interest rates as discussed in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. It is our policy to use derivatives to manage risk consistent with business plans and prudent practices. We have a Risk Management Committee comprised of executive officers who utilize a risk oversight function to ensure compliance with our corporate policies and risk management practices.
Additionally, we are exposed to counterparty credit losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment. We have a credit management process, which is used to assess, monitor and mitigate counterparty exposure. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
Commodity Contracts
The availability and price of energy-related commodities are subject to fluctuations from factors such as weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies, market rules and other events. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter into supply contracts and derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps
68


Table of Contents

and options with approved counterparties. These contracts, in conjunction with physical sales and other services, help reduce risk and optimize the value of owned electric generation capacity.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) Models
VaR represents the potential losses, under normal market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. We estimate VaR across our commodity businesses.
MTM VaR consists of MTM derivatives that are economic hedges. The MTM VaR calculation does not include market risks associated with activities that are subject to accrual accounting, primarily our generating facilities and some load-serving activities.
The VaR models used are variance/covariance models adjusted for the change of positions with 95% and 99.5% confidence levels and a one-day holding period for the MTM activities. The models assume no new positions throughout the holding periods; however, we actively manage our portfolio.
From January through March 2022, MTM VaR varied between a low of $70 million and a high of $112 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrower for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
PSEG and PSE&G
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported and is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of each respective company, as appropriate, by others within the entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a disclosure committee which includes several key management employees and which reports directly to the CFO and CEO of each of PSEG and PSE&G. The committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The CFO and CEO of each of PSEG and PSE&G have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and, based on this evaluation, have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures at each respective company were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.
Internal Controls
PSEG and PSE&G
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to various lawsuits and environmental and regulatory matters, including in the ordinary course of business. For information regarding material legal proceedings, including updates to information reported in Item 3 of Part I of the Form 10-K, see Part I, Item 1. Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, which describes various risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial position, results of operations or cash flows and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed elsewhere in this report. We expect that the risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K will be further adversely impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and any related, sustained economic downturn, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic.

(A)On September 27, 2021, PSEG announced a $500 million share repurchase program to be implemented upon the close of the sale of the fossil generation assets. In November 2021, the Board of Directors authorized senior management to implement the $500 million share repurchase program at such time as senior management deemed appropriate in its discretion, without expiration.
(B)On December 13, 2021, under this $500 million share repurchase program authorization, PSEG entered into an open market share repurchase plan for $250 million of our common shares that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There were no common share repurchases during the fourth quarter of 2021. During January and through February 16, 2022, we purchased the full $250 million of common shares under the open market share repurchase plan and there were no remaining shares available for repurchase under the open market share repurchase plan.
(C)On March 14, 2022, PSEG entered into a Master Confirmation and Supplemental Confirmation with an investment banking firm to effect an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR Agreement) of $250 million of shares of PSEG’s outstanding Common Stock. The share repurchases pursuant to the ASR Agreement will be completed under PSEG’s current $500 million share repurchase program authorization. Under the ASR Agreement, PSEG paid $250 million and received initial delivery of the shares of Common Stock reported in the above table in mid-March, representing approximately 80% of the total number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $65.72 on March 11, 2022. The total number of shares that PSEG will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be determined at the end of the applicable purchase period and will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount, and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. The ASR Agreement provides that termination of the ASR agreement and final settlement of the shares of Common Stock repurchased under the ASR Agreement will generally occur in June 2022, unless the scheduled

termination date of the ASR Agreement is accelerated. If the final settlement is in PSEG’s favor, the obligations to PSEG will be satisfied by delivery of additional shares of PSEG’s Common Stock and cash payment for any fractional shares. If final settlement is in the investment banking firm’s favor, PSEG’s obligations will be satisfied by delivery of either cash or shares of PSEG’s Common Stock at PSEG’s election.
