(A)PSE&G has entered into a requirements contract with PSEG Power under which PSEG Power provides the gas supply services needed to meet PSE&G’s BGSS and other contractual requirements. In addition, PSEG Power sold ZECs to PSE&G from its nuclear units under the ZEC program as approved by the BPU. The rates in the BGSS contract and for the ZEC sales were prescribed by the BPU. BGSS sales were billed and settled on a monthly basis. ZEC sales were billed on a monthly basis and settled annually following completion of each energy year. The ZEC program ended effective June 1, 2025, with the final ZEC payment from PSE&G to PSEG Power settled in August 2025. For additional information on ZECs, see Note 2. Revenues. In addition, PSEG Power and PSE&G provide certain technical services for each other generally at cost in compliance with FERC and BPU affiliate rules.
(B)Services provides and bills administrative services to PSE&G at cost. In addition, PSE&G has other payables to Services, including amounts related to certain common costs, which Services pays on behalf of PSE&G.
(C)PSEG pays net wages and payroll taxes and receives reimbursement from its affiliated companies for their respective portions. PSEG and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and PSEG and PSE&G file state income tax returns, some of which are combined or unitary. Income taxes are allocated to PSEG’s subsidiaries in accordance with a tax allocation agreement whereby each PSEG subsidiary’s current and deferred tax expense is computed on a stand-alone basis. Each subsidiary is allocated an amount of tax similar to that which would be paid if it filed a separate income tax return, except for certain tax attributes and state apportionment results. If the result is a net tax liability, such amount shall be paid to PSEG. If there are NOLs and/or tax credits, the subsidiary shall receive payment for the tax savings from PSEG to the extent that PSEG is able to utilize those benefits.
(D)PSE&G has advanced working capital to Services. The amount is included in Other Noncurrent Assets on PSE&G’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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) & Other, primarily comprised of 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), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and other federal and New Jersey state regulators. PSE&G also invests in regulated solar generation projects and regulated energy efficiency (EE) and related programs in New Jersey, which are regulated by the BPU, and
•PSEG Power—which is an energy supply company that consists of the operations of merchant nuclear generating assets and fuel supply functions engaged in 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) and other federal regulators and state regulators in the states in which they operate.
The PSEG Power & Other reportable segment also includes amounts related to the parent company as well as PSEG’s other direct wholly owned subsidiaries, which are: 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); PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (Energy Holdings), which primarily holds legacy lease investments and competitively bid, FERC regulated transmission; and PSEG Services Corporation (Services), which provides certain management, administrative and general services to PSEG and its subsidiaries at cost.
Our business discussion in Item 1. Business of our 2025 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 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 2025 and Future Outlook provided in Item 7 in our Form 10-K by describing significant events and business developments that have occurred during 2026 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 2026 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 nuclear generation business. Our business plan focuses on achieving growth by allocating capital primarily toward regulated investments in an effort to continue to improve the sustainability and predictability of our business and realizing the value of the consistent and reliable carbon-free generation from our nuclear units. We are focused on investing to meet growing energy demand, modernize our energy infrastructure, improve reliability and resilience, increase EE to meet customer expectations and be well aligned with public policy objectives. With these investments and higher working capital recovery approved in the distribution rate case, our regulated rate base increased from approximately $34 billion as of December 31, 2024 to approximately $36 billion as of December 31, 2025. In addition, our nuclear facilities retain the downside price protection of a production tax credit (PTC) from 2024 through 2032.
For the years 2026-2030, our regulated capital investment program is estimated to be in a range of $22.5 billion to $25.5 billion. We expect these capital investments to result in a compound annual growth rate in our regulated rate base in a range of 6.0% to 7.5% from year-end 2025 to year-end 2030. The regulated capital investments represent the majority of PSEG’s total capital investment program of $24 billion to $28 billion. The low end of the range includes an extension of our Gas System
Modernization Program (GSMP) and Clean Energy Future (CEF)-EE program, as these programs are expected to continue beyond their currently approved time frames. The upper end of our capital investment range includes potential incremental investments to address continued demand growth and other investments to meet infrastructure needs and support New Jersey's clean energy goals.
PSE&G
At PSE&G, our focus is on investing capital in T&D infrastructure and clean energy programs to meet growing demand, enhance the reliability and resiliency of our T&D system, meet customer expectations and support public policy objectives.
In 2024, the BPU approved our CEF-EE II filing authorizing approximately $2.9 billion for energy efficiency projects committed between January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, to be completed over an expected six-year period. The Order approved a program investment budget of approximately $1.9 billion, net of administrative expenses, and approximately $1 billion to continue our customer on-bill repayment program.
In November 2025, the BPU issued an Order approving PSE&G’s GSMP III program, authorizing $1.05 billion of capital investment to replace 525 miles of high pressure cast iron gas mains and unprotected steel mains, with cost recovery through three periodic rate adjustments as portions of the investment are put into service. In that Order, the BPU also authorized $360 million of investment to replace an additional 75 miles of gas main, with cost recovery to be requested in a future base rate case. Investment under the GSMP III program began in 2026 and will continue through December 2028, plus trailing services replacement and paving costs into 2029.
PSEG Power
At PSEG Power, we seek to produce low-cost electricity by efficiently operating our nuclear generation assets, mitigate earnings volatility through hedging and the PTC mechanism, and support public policies that preserve these existing carbon-free base load nuclear generating plants. During the first three months of 2026, our nuclear units generated approximately 8 terawatt hours and operated at a capacity factor of 95.5%. Effective April 2025, PSEG Power revised the estimated useful lives for the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants due to our expectation that a 20-year license extension will be approved for these facilities. In 2025, we also completed work to extend the refueling cycle at our Hope Creek facility from 18 months to 24 months. In addition, we are planning power uprates at Salem Units 1 and 2 that will increase generation capacity and reliability and support long-term operation of these units, including through a potential subsequent license renewal.
Our hedging strategy continues to incorporate an estimated range of risk reduction impacts from the PTCs on our nuclear generation portfolio while retaining the ability to benefit when market pricing exceeds the level at which we would receive PTCs. As of December 31, 2025, we expect that our current portfolio position for 2026 will result in the realized value of our nuclear generation output being above the level at which we would receive PTCs. Our strategy will continue to evolve taking into account energy market conditions, PTC guidance uncertainty, and potential incremental changes upon receiving U.S. Treasury guidance. In addition, we continue to explore opportunities for the potential sale of power, capacity and/or emission credits from our nuclear facilities pursuant to long-term agreements.
Climate Strategy and Sustainability Efforts
We remain guided by our vision to power a future where people use energy more efficiently, and it’s safer and delivered more reliably than ever. Our investments remain focused on infrastructure modernization, energy efficiency, and supporting growing customer demand, as well as New Jersey's long-term energy goals.
PSE&G has undertaken a number of initiatives that support the reduction of GHG emissions, including our implementation of New Jersey's EE and related programs that are intended to support New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan (EMP) and Gubernatorial Executive Orders through programs designed to help customers use energy more efficiently, reduce GHG emissions, support the expansion of the EV infrastructure in New Jersey, 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.
We 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. PSE&G is committed to the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to approximately 1.9 million customers throughout New Jersey and we are equally
committed to reducing GHG emissions associated with such operations. The GSMP is designed to improve safety and reliability and significantly reduce natural gas leaks in our distribution system, which would reduce the release of methane, a potent GHG, into the air. From 2018 through 2025 we reduced reported methane emissions by over 34% system wide.
We also continue to focus on working to preserve the economic viability of our nuclear units, which provide over 80% of the carbon-free energy in New Jersey. These efforts include reducing market risk by advocating for state and federal policies, such as the PTC established by the IRA, and capacity market reform and related generator interconnection policies at PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) that recognize the value of our nuclear fleet’s carbon-free generation and its contribution to grid reliability and resource adequacy, and potential long-term contracts that recognize the value of its consistent and reliable carbon-free energy.
Competitively Bid, FERC Regulated Transmission Projects
PSEG continues to evaluate additional investment opportunities in regulated transmission. In December 2023, PJM awarded us an approximately $424 million project to address increasing load and reliability issues in Maryland and northern Virginia as part of its 2022 Window 3 competitive solicitation. PJM has directed that the project be placed in service in 2027. However, based on the procedural timeline established by order of the Maryland Public Service Commission, we do not currently believe a 2027 in-service date for the project is reasonably achievable. We are continuing to take all available steps to obtain approvals for timely project execution. We cannot predict the outcome.
PSEG will continue to evaluate opportunities to participate in transmission solicitation processes and may decide to submit bids for these opportunities, some of which could be material investments.
PSEG LI
PSEG LI has been operating LIPA’s electric T&D system in Long Island, New York since 2014 under a 12-year OSA with LIPA that expired on December 31, 2025. In 2025, a five year extension of the contract was approved. A competitor in the contract bidding process filed litigation against LIPA challenging the process. LIPA filed a motion to dismiss the competitor’s claim as untimely, which was granted by the New York Supreme Court in December 2025. The competitor filed an appeal in January 2026.
Financial Results
The results for PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power & Other for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are presented as follows:

(A)NDT Fund activity includes gains and losses on NDT securities which are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. See Item 1. Note 6. Trust Investments for additional information. NDT Fund activity also includes interest and dividend income and other costs related to the NDT Fund recorded in Net Other Income (Deductions), interest accretion expense on PSEG Power’s nuclear Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) recorded in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense and the depreciation related to the ARO asset recorded in Depreciation and Amortization (D&A) Expense.
(B)Net of tax expense of $1 million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(C)Net of tax benefit of $11 million and $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Our increase in Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus the comparable period in 2025 was driven primarily by continued investment in T&D clause programs at PSE&G and higher gas sales and capacity revenues at PSEG Power, combined with MTM and NDT activity, as shown in the table above.
Regulatory, Legislative and Other Developments
We closely monitor and engage with stakeholders on significant regulatory and legislative developments.
Transmission Rate Proceedings and Return on Equity (ROE)
Under current FERC rules, PSE&G continues to earn a 50 basis point adder to its base ROE for its membership in PJM as a transmission owner. However, certain regulatory or legislative actions could potentially lead to the loss of this adder which, if eliminated, would prospectively reduce PSE&G’s annual Net Income and annual cash inflows by approximately $40 million.
New Jersey Clean Energy Stakeholder Proceedings
In February 2023, the previous governor of New Jersey issued executive orders (EOs) that establish or accelerate previously established 2050 targets for clean-sourced energy, building decarbonization, and EV adoption goals, with new target dates of 2030 or 2035, as applicable. In November 2025 the BPU released the updated Energy Master Plan (EMP) that presents potential pathways toward meeting New Jersey’s clean energy and decarbonization goals. Given the new administration took office in January 2026, it is not clear how the EMP might influence New Jersey’s energy policy and we cannot predict the impact on our business that might result.
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 operations of PSEG companies and the operations of numerous other companies within the Newark Bay Complex are alleged by federal and state agencies to have discharged substantial contamination into the Newark Bay Complex in violation of various statutes. The Newark Bay Complex is a tidal estuary in northern New Jersey that includes Newark Bay, as well as portions of the Passaic River, the Hackensack River and other surrounding waterways. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated various portions of the Newark Bay Complex as federal Superfund sites that must be investigated and remediated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980.
In addition, PSEG Power has retained ownership of certain liabilities excluded from the sale of its fossil generation portfolio, primarily related to obligations under New Jersey and Connecticut state laws to investigate and remediate the sites. 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 8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.
Nuclear
In May 2025, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants zero emission certificate (ZEC) sales concluded. Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, ZECs were purchased from these nuclear plants by the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. As previously noted, the Federal government established a PTC for electricity generated using existing nuclear energy, which began January 2024 and continues through 2032 and impacted PSEG Power's decision not to apply for the ZEC three-year eligibility period which began June 2025. The expected PTC rate is up to $15/MWh subject to adjustment based upon a facility’s gross receipts. The PTC rate and the gross receipts threshold are subject to annual inflation adjustments. ZEC revenue recorded has been reduced by the estimated PTCs generated from these nuclear plants. The PTC amounts recorded to date are subject to change based on several factors, including but not limited to, adjustments to estimated market prices and generation and the issuance of authoritative guidance by the U.S. Treasury/the Internal Revenue Service, including clarification of the definition of “gross receipts” used to determine the phase out. Any adjustments to amounts previously recorded could be material. We continue to analyze the impact of the PTC, including any future guidance from the U.S. Treasury to assess any impact of PTCs on expected ZEC payments and/or any future ZEC application periods. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 2. Revenues.
Demand, Supply and Energy Costs
An increasing demand for power and a lack of sufficient new generation resources in PJM and in New Jersey, has raised resource adequacy concerns and resulted in higher electricity costs for our customers in 2025. Prices from the July 2024 PJM annual capacity market auction, which were approximately 10 times higher than prices from the 2023 auction and which impacted customer bills, provoked concern from state regulators and legislators and have created regulatory uncertainty. Prices from the July 2025 capacity market auction were higher than those produced by the July 2024 auction and PJM indicated that the prices would have been even higher if not for the existence of a FERC-approved ceiling, which remained in effect for the December 2025 auction. In February 2026, PJM filed with FERC a proposal to extend the price cap for another two delivery years (2028/29 and 2029/30) and, in April 2026, FERC issued an order accepting PJM’s proposal. In January 2026, the White House’s National Energy Dominance Council signed an agreement with the governors of all 13 states in the PJM region that memorializes a “statement of principles” intended to prompt PJM to make major changes to its capacity market, including running a “reliability backstop auction” to procure new generation capacity to provide up to 15-year “price certainty”. PJM has committed to run this backstop auction and is targeting a September 2026 date following FERC approval of all needed rule changes. There are outstanding questions associated with this auction, including around the role to be played by electric utilities in both setting the procurement target and purchasing the capacity from PJM during the auction, which could create collection risk for both PSE&G and its customers. In addition, in 2025, FERC both issued an order that will encourage optionality for “large load” customers by facilitating co-location with generation, and initiated a rulemaking to establish definitive rules for future large customer connections intended to ensure reliability and address resource adequacy concerns. We cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings and their impact on our business.
Federal and State Executive Orders and State Legislative and Other Activity
There have been a number of federal executive orders during the past year, including but not limited to orders requiring retiring generating units to stay on-line beyond their retirement date to mitigate system reliability risk and orders imposing widespread and substantial tariffs on imports.
There has been increased New Jersey state legislative activity and executive orders regarding energy affordability, resource adequacy and regulatory topics. In 2025, per direction to EDCs from the BPU, PSE&G took steps to mitigate the impacts of increasing electricity costs resulting from capacity market price increases, including the implementation of extended deferred
payment arrangements. Further, the New Jersey legislature enacted a law prohibiting disconnection for non-payment during the period June 15 through August 31, beginning in 2026, and for such period annually thereafter, for certain qualified electric and gas customers. Both of these actions increased our bad debt expense in 2025, with potential additional increases in the future.
In January 2026, the New Jersey Governor issued executive orders directing the BPU within its legal authority to mitigate electric rate increases through state funding during 2026 as well as other actions, and to advance resource adequacy solutions, in New Jersey. It is not clear how these orders might influence New Jersey’s energy policy.
We cannot predict the impacts on our supply chain, business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition from the federal and state legislative activity and executive orders, certain of which may require regulatory actions to implement.
Interest Rate Matters
PSEG’s long-term financing plan is designed to replace maturities and support funding its capital program. Given our financing needs, the prevailing interest rate environment will be a key factor in determining interest expense on variable-rate debt and long-term rates on future financing plans. In order to increase the predictability of interest expense, we may use interest rate hedges to help limit our exposure to fluctuating interest rates and fix a portion of our interest rate exposure for anticipated long-term financing plans at PSEG and PSEG Power. PSE&G’s interest rate risk is moderated due to annual transmission rate filings and distribution recoveries through periodic rate filings.
Tax Legislation
The enactment, amendment or repeal of federal or state tax legislation and/or the clarification of previously enacted tax laws could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and cash tax position.
In August 2022, the IRA enacted a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT), which is based on adjusted financial statement income, and established a PTC for existing qualified nuclear facilities. However, aspects of the IRA provisions for CAMT and PTCs remain unclear; therefore, the issuance of future authoritative guidance could materially impact PSEG’s and PSE&G’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Future Outlook
Our future success will be influenced by our ability to continue to maintain strong operational and financial performance, address regulatory and legislative developments that impact our business and respond to the issues and challenges described below. In order to do this, we will seek to:
•obtain approval of and execute on our utility capital investment program to meet increasing customer demand, modernize our infrastructure, improve the reliability and resilience of the service we provide to our customers, and align our sustainability and climate goals with New Jersey’s energy policy;
•obtain a fair return for our T&D investments through our transmission formula rate, existing rate incentives, distribution infrastructure and clean energy investment programs and periodic distribution base rate case proceedings;
•focus on controlling costs while maintaining safety, reliability and customer satisfaction and complying with applicable standards and requirements;
•manage the risks and opportunities in federal and state policies related to energy;
•advocate for appropriate regulatory guidance on the PTC to ensure long-term support for New Jersey’s largest carbon-free generation resource, and adapt our hedging program accordingly, and realize the value of our consistent and reliable, carbon-free nuclear output;
•engage constructively with our multiple stakeholders, including regulators, government officials, customers, employees, investors, suppliers and the communities in which we do business or are seeking to do business; and
•deliver on our human capital management strategy to attract, develop and retain a high-performing diverse workforce.
In addition to the risks described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for 2026 and beyond, the key issues and challenges we expect our business to confront include:
•regulatory and political uncertainty with regard to Federal and State energy and related policies, including transmission planning and rates policy, the role of distribution utilities and decarbonization impacts, design of energy and capacity markets, resource adequacy and affordability, tax regulation and environmental regulation, as well as with respect to the outcome of any legal, regulatory or other proceedings;
•performance of the financial markets, including the impact on our pension funding requirements and interest rates on our future financing plans;
•continuing to manage costs and maintain affordable customer rates, which could impact customer collections, investment programs and have other impacts;
•the increasing frequency, sophistication and magnitude of cybersecurity attacks against us and our respective vendors and business partners who may have our sensitive information and/or access to our environment, and the increasing frequency and magnitude of physical attacks on electric and gas infrastructure;
•future changes in federal and state tax laws or any other associated tax guidance; and
•the impact of changes in energy demand, natural gas and electricity prices and PJM’s challenge to ensure resource adequacy to meet demand growth amidst efforts to decarbonize several sectors of the economy.
We continually assess a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term shareholder value and address the interests of our multiple stakeholders. We consider a wide variety of factors when determining how and when to efficiently deploy capital, including the performance and prospects of our businesses; returns and the sustainability and predictability of future earnings streams; the views of investors, regulators, public policy initiatives, rating agencies, customers and employees; our existing indebtedness and restrictions it imposes; and tax considerations, among other things. Strategic options available to us include:
•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, including our EE programs;
•continued operation of our nuclear generation facilities that are expected to be supported by the PTC through 2032, nuclear capacity uprates, such as our planned Salem power uprate supported by a clean energy PTC, as well as obtaining license extensions and energy, capacity and/or emission credit sales with potential customers seeking consistent and reliable carbon-free power;
•opportunities that may arise from our enabling of or involvement in new nuclear projects;
•investments in generation and battery storage through BPU or other similar solicitations;
•investments in competitive, regulated transmission through PJM and other RTO/ISO processes; 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.

(A)Includes amortization of EE programs regulatory expenditures of $50 million and $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Operating Revenues increased $421 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.
Delivery Revenues are primarily derived from revenues recovered on our regulated investments in rate base and costs through periodic filings of distribution rate cases, approved distribution investment recovery programs and the annual filing of transmission formula rates. Due to PSE&G’s electric and gas distribution CIP decoupling mechanism, there is minimal impact
from sales volumes on most distribution delivery revenues. Also included in delivery revenues are revenue credits to customers to flowback tax benefits realized by PSE&G. These revenue credits are offset in Income Tax Expense.
Delivery revenues increased $93 million due primarily to a $53 million increase in delivery volumes, $29 million from increased GPRC revenues and an $18 million increase in transmission revenues due primarily to higher rate base investments. These delivery revenue increases were offset by a $7 million decrease due to an increase in credits flowed back to customers as part of our TAC mechanism.
Clause Revenues are revenues from various pass-through regulatory programs for which PSE&G earns no margin. These revenues are entirely offset by the amortization of related costs in O&M, D&A and Interest and Income Tax Expense, which were originally recognized as regulatory assets.
Clause Revenues increased $62 million due primarily to a $45 million increase in TAC and GPRC deferrals and a $20 million increase in Societal Benefits Clause (SBC) collections.
Commodity Revenues are revenues from customers choosing default electric (basic generation service or BGS) and gas supply (basic gas supply service or BGSS) from PSE&G. PSE&G procures the BGS and BGSS on behalf of these retail customers and earns no margin on this service as all costs are passed back to the BGS and BGSS customers. The changes in Commodity Revenues for both electric and gas are entirely offset by changes in Energy Costs.
Commodity Revenues increased $308 million primarily due to higher electric BGS revenues of $202 million and higher gas BGSS revenues of $106 million, primarily from higher prices.
Other Operating Revenues are primarily comprised of revenues derived from various GPRC programs including Transition Renewable Energy Certificates (TREC) revenues, Community Solar collections and the Successor Solar Incentive Program (SuSI). The revenues from these programs offset costs included in Energy Costs. In addition, other operating revenues include revenues from our Appliance Service Business (ASB) which offers various appliance protection and repair plans to customers.
Other Operating revenues decreased $42 million due primarily to a decrease in Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) as a result of the ZEC collection ending effective May 31, 2025.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs increased $264 million. This is entirely offset by changes in Commodity Revenues and Other Operating Revenues.
Operation and Maintenance increased $61 million due primarily to $52 million in higher clause and renewable expenditures, $4 million in higher distribution and transmission operational expenditures and $5 million in higher other operating and Services expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization increased $15 million due primarily to an increase in depreciation due to higher plant placed in service and increased amortization of software and Regulatory Assets.
Interest Expense increased $18 million due primarily to incremental debt and the replacement of maturing debt at higher rates.
Income Tax Expense increased $35 million due primarily to a decrease in the flowback of historic mixed service cost deductions as an effect of utility ratemaking and higher pre-tax income.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Operating Revenues increased $324 million due primarily to changes in generation and gas supply and other operating revenues.
Gas Supply Revenues increased $183 million due primarily to
•a net increase of $171 million in sales under the BGSS contract due primarily to $142 million from higher sales prices and $29 million from higher sales volumes, and
•a net increase of $16 million related to sales to third parties due primarily to $21 million from higher sales prices, partially offset by $5 million from lower sales volumes.
Generation Revenues increased $146 million due primarily to
•a net increase of $150 million due to lower MTM losses in 2026 as compared to 2025, primarily due to changes in forward prices, and
•a net increase of $64 million in capacity revenue due primarily to higher capacity prices,
•partially offset by a net decrease of $55 million primarily due to the conclusion of ZEC sales in May 2025, and
•a net decrease of $13 million due primarily to lower volumes sold in 2026, partially offset by higher average realized 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 $176 million due to
Gas costs increased $177 million due primarily to
•a net increase of $172 million related to sales under the BGSS contract, of which $143 million was due to higher average cost of gas, and $29 million was due to higher send out volumes, and
•a net increase of $7 million related to sales to third parties due primarily to higher average cost of gas.
Generation costs are flat as compared to the prior year.
Operation and Maintenance decreased $43 million due primarily to a net decrease in various operational expenses and an adjustment to indirect taxes in 2026.
Depreciation and Amortization decreased $6 million due primarily to revised estimated useful lives in April 2025 for the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear plants based on the expectation that a 20-year license extension will be approved for these facilities.
Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments decreased $25 million due primarily to NDT investments with a $38 million increase in net unrealized losses in 2026 on equity securities, partially offset by a $13 million increase in net realized gains in 2026.
Interest Expense increased $12 million due primarily to incremental debt and the replacement of maturing long-term debt at higher rates.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) variance of $44 million due primarily to higher pre-tax income.
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.
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, 2026, our operating cash flow increased $222 million, as compared to the same period in 2025. The net increase was primarily due to an inflow of $1 million in net cash collateral postings in 2026 as compared to an $89 million outflow in 2025 at PSEG Power, combined with higher tax refunds, and a net change at PSE&G, as discussed below.
PSE&G
PSE&G’s operating cash flow increased $70 million from $632 million to $702 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was due primarily to higher earnings and a decrease in net regulatory deferrals.
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 facility.
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.
In March 2026, PSEG, PSEG Power and PSE&G executed a two-year extension to their existing $3.75 billion revolving credit facilities, extending the maturity through March 2031, and removed the sustainability linked pricing mechanism associated with the PSEG sublimit of the Master Credit Facility. The $75 million PSEG Power letter of credit facility was also extended through March 2028.
In February 2026, PSEG entered into a 364-day variable rate term loan agreement for $500 million.
In December 2025, PSEG Power amended its existing $400 million 364-day variable rate term loan, which increased the balance to $500 million and extended the maturity to December 2026.
Our total committed credit facilities and available liquidity as of March 31, 2026 were as follows:

PSEG Power has uncommitted credit facilities totaling $425 million, which can be utilized for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026, PSEG Power had $190 million in letters of credit outstanding under these uncommitted credit facilities.
PSE&G has an uncommitted credit facility totaling $30 million, which can be utilized for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026, PSE&G’s letters of credit outstanding were immaterial under this uncommitted credit facility.
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, 2026, 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. 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 $691 million and $703 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
For additional information, see Item 1. Note 9. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Long-Term Debt Financing
During the next twelve months,
•PSE&G has $425 million of 2.25% Secured Medium-Term Notes Series L, due September 2026.
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. 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 9. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Common Stock Dividends
On April 21, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a $0.67 per share common stock dividend for the second quarter of 2026. This reflects an indicative annual dividend rate of $2.68 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 15. 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
We expect that all of our capital requirements over the next three years will come from a combination of internally generated funds and external debt financing. There were no material changes to our projected capital expenditures as compared to amounts disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
PSE&G
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, PSE&G made capital expenditures of $621 million, primarily for T&D system reliability. In addition, PSE&G had $47 million associated with the CEF-EE II on-bill repayment program included in investing cash flows, as well as cost of removal, net of salvage, of $36 million associated with capital replacements, and expenditures for EE programs of $128 million, which are included in operating cash flows.
PSEG Power & Other
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, PSEG Power & Other made capital expenditures of $66 million, excluding $6 million for nuclear fuel, primarily related to various nuclear projects at PSEG Power and various information technology projects at Services.
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 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, 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 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 2026, MTM VaR varied between a low of $58 million and a high of $314 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was wider for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2025.

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 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
