Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards

New Standards Issued and Adopted

~~Revenue from Contracts With Customers~~Leases—Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Update (ASU) ~~2014-09, updated by ASUs 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20, 2017-13, 2017-14~~

This accounting standard, and related updates, were adopted on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective transition method. There was no effect on net income as a result of adoption. However, certain retrospective adjustments were recorded in accordance with the new standard. At PSE&G, retrospective adjustments increased Operating Revenues by $21 million and $60 million, Energy Costs by $8 million and $33 million, and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense by $13 million and $27 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. At Power, retrospective adjustments reduced Operating Revenues and Energy Costs by $27 million and $53 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. For disclosure requirements under this standard, including Nature of Goods and Services, Disaggregation of Revenues, and Remaining Performance Obligations under Fixed Consideration Contracts, see Note 3. Revenues.

~~Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—ASU 2016-01~~

Power maintains an external master trust fund to provide for the costs of decommissioning upon termination of operations of its nuclear facilities. In addition, PSEG maintains a grantor trust which was established to meet the obligations related to its non-qualified pension plans and deferred compensation plans, commonly referred to as a “Rabbi Trust.”

This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, equity investments in Power’s Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) and PSEG’s Rabbi Trust Funds are measured at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses now recognized through Net Income instead of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The debt securities in these trusts continue to be classified as available-for-sale with the unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Realized gains and losses on both equity and available-for-sale debt security investments are recorded in earnings and are included with the unrealized gains and losses on equity securities in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. Other-than-temporary impairments on NDT and Rabbi Trust securities are also included in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. A cumulative effect adjustment was made to reclassify the net unrealized gains related to equity investments of $342 million ($176 million, net of tax) from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Retained Earnings on January 1, 2018. See Note 16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax and Note 8. Trust Investments for further discussion.

~~Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments—ASU 2016-15~~

~~This accounting standard reduces the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statement of Cash Flows.~~

~~PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method and had no changes in its presentation of its Statement of Cash Flows for each period presented.~~

~~Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash—ASU 2016-18~~

This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. PSEG will continue the current balance sheet classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. PSEG has provided a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted

cash or restricted cash equivalents and has included a description of these amounts in Note 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. The effect of adoption on the September 30, 2018 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows was immaterial.

~~Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (OPEB)—ASU 2017-07~~

This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, entities are required to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by their employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the Statement of Operations separately from the service cost component after Operating Income. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. As a result of adopting this standard, PSE&G reduced its charge to expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 by approximately $15 million and $44 million, respectively. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were recast to show retrospective adjustments of the non-service cost components of net benefit credits (costs) of $(2) million and $(5) million at PSE&G and $2 million and $6 million at Power, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from O&M Expense to a new line item after Operating Income entitled Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs). See Note 9. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB).

~~Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting—ASU 2017-09~~

This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. The standard will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after January 1, 2018. PSEG does not expect a material impact from adoption of this new standard.

~~New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted~~

~~Leases~~—~~ASU~~ 2016-02, updated by ASUs 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and ~~2018-11~~2019-01

This accounting standard, and related updates, replace existing lease accounting guidance and require lessees to recognize ~~all~~ leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet using a right-of-use asset approach. At lease commencement, a lessee will recognize a lease asset and corresponding lease obligation. A lessee will classify its leases as either finance leases or operating leases ~~based on whether control of the underlying assets has transferred to the lessee. A~~and a lessor will classify its leases as operating orleases, direct financing leases, or as sales-type ~~leases based on whether control of the underlying assets has transferred to the lessee. Both the lessee and lessor models require~~leases. The standard requires additional disclosure of key information. The standard allows lessees and lessors to apply either (i) a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, or (ii) a prospective transition approach for leases existing as of January 1, 2019 with a cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded to Retained Earnings. PSEG intends to adopt this standard on a prospective basis. Existing guidance related to leveraged leases does not change.

~~This standard permits an entity to elect an~~PSEG adopted the optional transition method on January 1, 2019. There was no cumulative effect adjustment required to be recorded to Retained Earnings at adoption. The optional transition method requires disclosure under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840—Leases, the previously existing lease guidance for prior periods.

PSEG elected various practical ~~expedient~~expedients allowed by the standard, including the package of three practical expedients related to ~~exclude~~not reassessing existing or expired contracts and initial direct costs; and excluding evaluation of land easements that exist or expired before ~~the~~ adoption ~~of ASU 2016-02 and~~ that were not previously accounted for as leases.

Pending finalization of those activities, PSEG expectsliabilities each increased by $46 million. PSEG’s adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 to impact its consolidated balance sheet by increasing its assets and liabilities by up to $300 million. PSE&G expects its assets and liabilities to each increase by up to $100 million and Power expects its assets and liabilities to each increase by up to $60 million. PSEG doesdid not ~~expect adoption to~~ have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power.

Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities—ASU 2017-12, updated by ASU 2018-16 and 2019-04

This accounting standard’s amendments more closely align hedge accounting with ~~the~~ companies’ risk management activities in the financial ~~statements. The amendments expand hedge accounting for both non-financial~~statements and financial risk components by permitting contractually specified components to be designated as the hedged risk in a cash flow hedge involving the purchase or sale of non-financial assets or variable rate financial instruments. The amendments also permit an entity to measure the interest rate risk on the hedged item in a partial-term fair value hedge assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged. Additionally, the amendments ease the operational burden of applying hedge ~~accounting by allowing more time to prepare hedge documentation, and allowing effectiveness assessments to be performed~~accounting.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities—ASU 2017-08

This accounting standard was issued to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the standard requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. ~~The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.~~

The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the standard in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments—ASU 2016-13, updated by ASU 2018-19, 2019-04 and 2019-05

This accounting standard provides a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial ~~assets carried at amortized cost.~~assets. The new model requires entities to use an estimate of expected credit losses that will be recognized as an impairment allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses is to be based on past events, current conditions and supportable forecasts over a reasonable period. For purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, a similar model is to be used; however, the initial allowance will be added to the purchase price rather than reported as an allowance. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities ~~should~~will be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP; however, this standard requires those credit losses to be presented as an allowance, rather than a write-down. This new standard also requires additional disclosures of the allowance for credit losses by financial asset type, including disclosures of credit quality indicators for each class of financial asset disaggregated by year of origination.

The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, ~~2019; however, entities may adopt early beginning in~~2019. Adoption of the ~~annual or interim periods after December 15, 2018.~~standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the effective date of January 1, 2020. PSEG is currently analyzing its financial statements and determining the appropriate methods for calculating credit losses on its various classes of assets, as well as evaluating the overall impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement—ASU 2018-13

This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Certain current disclosure requirements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements, and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements will be eliminated. The standard will also add certain other disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments in the standard ~~should~~will be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments of the standard ~~should~~will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted.

Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract—ASU 2018-15

This accounting standard aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an ~~internal use~~internal-use software license. The standard follows the guidance in ASC 350—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The standard requires the amortization of capitalized costs to be presented in ~~O&M~~Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense. In addition, the standard also adds presentation requirements for these costs in the statements of cash flows and financial position.

The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. This standard ~~should~~will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (VIE)-ASU 2018-17

This accounting standard improves the VIE guidance in the area of decision-making fees. Consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE, indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements will be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.

This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard is required to be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment—ASU 2017-04

This accounting standard requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.

~~An entity should apply this~~This standard will be applied on a prospective basis and the entity will be required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. The new standard is effective for impairment tests for periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. PSEG does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans—ASU 2018-14

This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including the elimination of certain current disclosure requirements. Certain other disclosure requirements related to interest crediting rates have been added and certain clarifications were made to other disclosure requirements.

The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. ~~An entity should apply the amendments~~Amendments in this standard will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its disclosures.

Note 3. Revenues

Nature of Goods and Services

The following is a description of principal activities by reportable segment from which PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power 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 services are delivered to the customer. The electric and gas commodity and delivery tariffs are recurring contracts in effect until ~~cancellation by~~modified through the ~~customer.~~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 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 ~~FERC tariff.~~tariff using a FERC-approved annual formula rate mechanism. The performance obligation of transmission service is satisfied ~~over time~~and revenue is recognized as it is provided to ~~and consumed by~~ the customer. ~~Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the transmission service. PSE&G’s revenues from the transmission of electricity are recorded based on a FERC-approved annual~~The formula rate ~~mechanism. This~~ mechanism provides for an annual filing of an estimated revenue requirement with rates effective January 1 of each year and a ~~mechanism~~ 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.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of month 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 weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues.

PSEG Power

Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Electricity and Related Products—Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) 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 Power 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.

In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the BPU. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022 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 tables below. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions for additional information.

Gas Contracts—PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based ~~full requirements~~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 ~~which extends through March 2019, will renew year-to-year thereafter~~remains in effect unless terminated by either party with a ~~two year~~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.

Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers

PSEG Power enters into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms range from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations are generally solar power and RECs which are transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue is 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 ~~12.~~13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. PSEG Power is also a party to solar contracts that qualify as leases and are accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance.

Other

Revenues from Contracts with Customers

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.

Contract Balances

PSE&G

PSE&G ~~does~~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 September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. Substantially all of PSE&G’s accounts receivable result from contracts with ~~customers.~~customers that are priced at tariff rates. Allowances represented approximately ~~seven~~7 percent of accounts receivable as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

PSEG Power

PSEG Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, PSEG Power had no material contract balances as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

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. In the wholesale energy markets in which PSEG Power operates, payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of month of delivery. As such, there is little credit risk associated with these receivables and PSEG Power typically records no allowances.

Other

PSEG LI ~~does~~did not have any material contract balances as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations under Fixed Consideration Contracts

PSEG Power and PSE&G primarily record 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:

Note 4. Early Plant ~~Retirements~~

~~Fossil~~

~~On June 1, 2017, Power completed its previously announced retirement of the generation operations of the existing coal/gas units at the Hudson and Mercer generating stations.~~

As of June 1, 2017, Power recognized total Depreciation and Amortization of $964 million for the Hudson and Mercer units to reflect the significant shortening of their expected economic useful lives in 2017. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Power recognized pre-tax charges of $1 million and $10 million, respectively, in Energy Costs primarily for coal inventory lower of cost or market adjustments. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Power also recognized pre-tax charges in O&M of $8 million and $12 million, respectively, of shut down costs and a net increase in the Retirements/Asset Retirement Obligation liability due to settlements and changes in cash flow estimates, partially offset by changes in employee-related severance costs. In 2018, no material costs were recorded. Power is exploring various opportunities with

~~these sites, including using the sites for alternative industrial activity or the disposition of one or both of the sites. If Power~~

~~determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early retirement of the units at such sites would trigger~~

~~obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation. The amounts for any such environmental~~

~~remediation are neither currently probable nor estimable but may be material.~~

PSEG and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations, to assess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives and their continued classification as held for use. The precise timing of a change in useful lives may be dependent upon events out of PSEG’s and Power’s control and may impact their ability to operate or maintain certain assets in the future. These generating stations may be impacted by factors such as environmental legislation, co-owner capital requirements and continued depressed wholesale power prices or capacity factors, among other things. Any early retirement or change in the held for use classification of our remaining coal units may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results.Dispositions

Nuclear

~~Since 2013, several nuclear generating stations in the United States have closed or announced early retirement due to economic reasons, or have announced being at risk for early retirement.~~ In ~~September 2018, Exelon, a co-owner of the~~April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem ~~units, shut down its Oyster~~1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plant located in New Jersey, one year earlier than previously planned for economic reasons. In addition, First Energy announced in March 2018 the early retirement of four nuclear units at the Davis-Besse, Perry Nuclear and Beaver Valley nuclear plants ~~in Ohio and Pennsylvania by 2021. These closures and retirements are generally due to the decline in market prices of energy, resulting from low natural gas prices driven~~were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the ~~growth of shale gas production since 2007,~~BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities, both federal and state-level policies that provide financial incentives to construct renewable energy such as wind and solar and the failure to adequately compensate nuclear generating stations for the attributes they bring similar to renewable energy production. These trends have significantly reduced

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

the revenues of nuclear generating stations while limiting their ability to reduce the unit cost of production. This may result in the electric generation industry experiencing a further shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet.

~~In May 2018, the governor of New Jersey signed legislation that would provide a safety net in order to prevent the loss of environmental attributes~~BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear ~~generating stations referred to as the ZEC (Zero Emissions Certificate) program. The legislation calls for the BPU to establish a collection process for a customer charge, determine eligibility~~plants and certification of need, and potentially select nuclear plants to receive ZECs starting in April 2019. The law mandates each New Jersey electric distribution company (EDC), including PSE&G, to purchase ZECs and recover its procurement of ZECsrecovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge ~~(ZEC charge)~~ in the amount of $0.004 per ~~kilowatt-hour.~~

~~In the ordinary course, management,~~kilowatt-hour (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, and will be obligated to maintain operations, subject to exceptions specified in the ~~case~~ZEC legislation. PSEG Power anticipates it will recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. The ZEC legislation requires nuclear plants to reapply for any subsequent three year periods. The ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU (a) at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source or (b) at certain times specified in the ZEC legislation if the BPU determines that the purposes of the ~~Salem units~~ZEC legislation can be achieved through a reduced charge that will nonetheless be sufficient to achieve the ~~co-owner, each makes a number~~state’s air quality and other environmental objectives by preventing the retirement of ~~decisions that impact the operation of Power’s~~ nuclear units beyond the current year, including whether and to what extent these units participate in RPM capacity auctions, commitments relating to refueling outages and significant capital expenditures, and decisions regarding our hedging arrangements. When considering whether to make these future commitments, management’s decisions will primarily be influencedplants. The BPU’s decision awarding ZECs has been appealed by the Division of Rate Counsel. The financial ~~outlook~~condition of the units, including the progress, timing and continued outlook for selection of the units under the newly enacted legislation in the state of New Jersey. Power and Exelon have agreed to continue to assess and, when appropriate, approve the funding of individual capital projects to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the safe operation of the Salem generating station and that the funding of previously postponed projectsplants may nonetheless be ~~restored as a result of the legislation enacted in New Jersey sufficiently values the attributes of nuclear generation and Salem benefits from such legislation.~~

Power believes it may be unable to cover its costs and would be inadequately compensated for its market and operational risks at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear units, which would result in Power retiring these units early if (i) energy market prices continue to be depressed, (ii) there are adverse impacts frommaterially adversely impacted by potential changes to the capacity market construct being considered by FERC ~~or (iii) Salem and/or Hope Creek are not selected to participate~~(absent sufficient capacity revenues provided under a program approved by the BPU in accordance with a FERC- authorized capacity mechanism), and, in the ZEC program or the ZEC program does not adequately compensate our nuclear generating stations for their attributes. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated depreciation and amortization or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and additional funding of the NDT Fund would be material to both PSEG and Power. If any or allcase of the Salem nuclear plants, decisions by the EPA and ~~Hope Creek units were shut down, it~~state environmental regulators regarding the implementation of Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act and related state regulations, or other factors. Absent a material financial change, these adverse impacts could still result in PSEG Power taking all necessary steps to retire all of these plants following the end of the initial three year term of the ZECs program. Retirement of these plants would ~~significantly alter New Jersey’s energy supply predominately by increasing New Jersey’s reliance~~result in a material adverse impact on ~~natural gas generation.

Note 5. Variable Interest Entity (VIE)

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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 reimbursable 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 reimbursement 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 O&M Expense, respectively. Servco recorded ~~$126~~$124 million and ~~$114~~$126 million for the three months and ~~$355~~$357 million and ~~$338~~$355 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, 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.

Note 6. Rate Filings

This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 6.7. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

In addition to items previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant regulatory orders received and currently pending rate filings with FERC and the BPU by PSE&G are as follows:

~~Electric and Gas Distribution Base~~Transmission Formula Rate Filings—In October 2019, PSE&G filed its 2019 Annual Transmission Formula Rate update with FERC requesting approximately $332 million in increased annual transmission revenue effective January 1, 2020, subject to true-up.

In June 2019, PSE&G filed its 2018 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for 2018. This filing resulted in an additional revenue requirement adjustment of $52 million more than the ~~BPU issued an Order approving~~2018 originally filed revenue requirement. PSE&G had previously recognized the majority of the additional revenue requirement in its 2018 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC)—In September 2019, PSE&G made its initial annual TAC filing following the implementation of the TAC as a result of the settlement of PSE&G’s distribution base rate case ~~with new rates effective November 1,~~in 2018. The settlement resulted in a net reduction in overall annual revenues of approximately $13 million, comprised of a $212 million increase in base revenues, including recovery of deferred storm costs, offset byTAC allows for the ~~return of tax benefits of approximately $225 million. The tax benefits include the flow-back~~flowback to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rates provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) as well as the accumulated deferred income taxes from previously realized tax repair deductions and tax benefits from future tax repair deductions as realized. ~~As a result of the agreement~~The 2019 TAC filing requests BPU approval to flow back tax repair-related accumulated deferred income taxes in the settlement, PSE&G recognized a $581 million regulatory liability and a corresponding regulatory asset as of September 30, 2018. The Order provides for a $9.5 billion rate base, a 9.6% return on equity for PSE&G’s distribution business and a 54% equity component of its capitalization structure. In addition to the $13 million annual revenue reduction, the Order provides for a $28 million one-time refund to customers in November and December 2018 for taxes collected at the higher federal income tax rate for the January 1 to March 31, 2018 period. The BPU approved a rate reduction effective April 1, 2018, to PSE&G’s then currentreduce electric and gas ~~base rates of~~revenues by approximately ~~$71~~$15 million and ~~$43~~$10 million, respectively, on an annual basis ~~to reflect the lower federal income tax rate for the period April 1 and forward.~~

~~Transmission Formula Rate Filings~~—In October 2018, PSE&G made two FERC filings with respect to its Transmission Formula Rate. PSE&G filed its 2019 Annual Transmission Formula Rate update with FERC requesting approximately $100 million in increased annual transmission revenue effectivestarting January 1, 2019, subject to true-up. In addition, PSE&G filed a Section 205 filing that seeks FERC approval to refund approximately $155 million of transmission related “unprotected excess deferred income tax benefits” to transmission customers over the 2019 twelve month period. The amount of unprotected excess deferred taxes is subject to change pending further Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance. FERC approval of PSE&G’s Section 205 filing is required to commence any refund to customers and as such, the Annual Transmission Formula Rate update request does not include the impact of the tax refund. This matter is pending.2020.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

In June 2018, PSE&G filed its 2017 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for 2017. This resulted in an adjustment of $27 million more than the 2017 originally filed revenues, the impact of which PSE&G had primarily recognized in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.

BGSS—In September ~~2018,~~2019, the BPU provisionally approved PSE&G’s request to decrease its BGSS rates which will decrease annual BGSS revenues by ~~$26~~approximately $13 million.

~~Energy Strong Program I (ES I) Recovery Filing~~—In August 2018, the BPU approved recovery of PSE&G’s ES I capital investment petition of an annual revenue requirement increase of $0.6 million and $0.1 million associated with electric and gas investment costs, respectively. This represents the final recovery of electric and gas ES I capital investment costs consistent with the BPU Order of Approval of the Energy Strong Program.

In February 2018, the BPU approved recovery of an annual revenue requirement of $8 million associated with electric ES I capital investment costs placed in service from June 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017.

~~Weather Normalization Clause (WNC)—In October 2018, the BPU approved PSE&G’s 2017-2018~~2019-2020 WNC ~~petition~~rates on a provisional basis allowing an approximate $8 million of overcollections from the colder-than-normal 2018-2019 Winter Period, to be refunded to customers over the 2019-2020 Winter Period, with rates effective October 1, 2019.

In March 2019, the BPU approved the final 2018-2019 WNC rates which allowed a net recovery of $14 million to be collected over the 2018-2019 Winter ~~Period with the new rate effective November 1, 2018.~~Period. The $14 million net recovery iswas the result of $9 million of excess revenues from the colder-than-normal 2017-2018 Winter Period offset by $23 million of remaining prior Winter Period undercollection.

Remediation Adjustment Clause (RAC)—In August 2019, the BPU approved PSE&G’s filing with respect to its RAC 26 petition allowing recovery of $73 million effective September 1, 2019 related to Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) remediation expenditures from August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018.

ZEC Program—In April ~~2018,~~2019, the BPU ~~gave final approval~~authorized the New Jersey EDCs, including PSE&G, to ~~PSE&G’s petition~~purchase ZECs from eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU. In conjunction with this Order, the BPU authorized tariffs to collect ~~$55~~a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour from each EDC’s retail distribution customers to be used to purchase ZECs from the selected plants. Each EDC purchases ZECs on a monthly basis with payment to be made annually following completion of each energy year. Under the program, any revenue collected in excess of the purchase price will be refunded to customers in the following year.

For the energy year ended May 31, 2019, PSE&G purchased approximately $17 million in ~~net deficiency gas~~ZECs, including interest, from the eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU. The payment for $17 million was made in August 2019. In addition, there was approximately $0.2 million, including interest, in overcollected revenues which will be refunded to customers pending BPU approval of the refunding mechanism.

Note 7. Leases

PSEG and its subsidiaries, when acting as lessee or lessor, determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. PSEG assesses contracts to determine if the arrangement conveys (i) the right to control the use of the identified property, (ii) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the property, and (iii) the right to direct the use of the property.

As of September 30, 2019, PSEG and subsidiaries were both a lessee and a lessor in Operating Leases. PSEG and subsidiaries were neither the lessee nor the lessor in any material non-operating leases.

Lessee

The current portion of Operating Lease Liabilities is included in Other Current Liabilities. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities are included as separate captions in Noncurrent Assets and Noncurrent Liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power. PSEG and its subsidiaries have elected an accounting policy to exclude the application of ASC 842 requirements to recognize Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities for leases where the term is twelve months or less.

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and Operating Lease Liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

PSEG and its subsidiaries recognize the lease payments in O&M Expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligations for those payments are incurred.

As lessee, most of the Operating Leases of PSEG and its subsidiaries do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, incremental borrowing rates are used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The implicit rate is used when readily determinable. PSE&G’s incremental borrowing rates are based on secured borrowing rates. PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s borrowing rates are generally unsecured rates. Having calculated simulated secured rates for each of PSEG and PSEG Power, it was determined that the difference between the unsecured borrowing rates and the simulated secured rates had an immaterial effect on their recorded Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Services, PSEG LI and other subsidiaries of PSEG that do not borrow funds or issue debt may enter into leases. Since these companies do not have credit ratings and related incremental borrowing rates, PSEG has determined that it is appropriate for these companies to use the incremental borrowing rate of PSEG, the parent company.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised.

PSEG and its subsidiaries have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For real estate, equipment and vehicle leases, the lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a ~~result~~single lease component.

PSE&G

PSE&G has Operating Leases for office space for customer service centers; rooftops and land for its Solar 4 All^® facilities; equipment; vehicles; and land for certain electric substations. These leases have remaining lease terms through 2039, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to two five-year terms. Some leases have fixed rent payments that have escalations based on certain indices, such as the CPI. Certain leases contain variable payments.

PSEG Power

PSEG Power has Operating Leases for buildings; land leases for its solar generating facilities; merchant transmission; and equipment. These leases have remaining terms through 2052, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 7 5-year terms and certain other leases which include options to extend the leases for 15 to 20 year terms. Some leases have fixed rent payments that have escalations based on certain indices, such as the CPI.

Other

Services has Operating Leases for real estate and office equipment. These leases have remaining terms through 2030. Services’ lease for its headquarters, which ends in 2030, includes options to extend for 2 five-year terms. Energy Holdings has land leases with remaining lease terms through 2027, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 8 five-year terms. Some leases have fixed rent payments that have escalations based on certain indices, such as the CPI. Certain leases contain variable payments.

Operating Lease Costs

The following amounts relate to total Operating Lease costs, including both amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and any amounts capitalized as part of the ~~warmer than normal 2016-2017 Winter Period, which resulted in a deficiency~~cost of ~~$31 million, plus a carryover balance~~another asset, and the cash flows arising from lease transactions.

Property subject to Operating Leases, where PSEG or one of ~~$21 million effective~~its subsidiaries is the lessor, is included in Property, Plant and Equipment and rental income from these leases is included in Operating Revenues.

PSEG and its subsidiaries, as lessors, have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are primarily related to real estate assets and solar generating facilities. PSEG and subsidiaries account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Energy Holdings’ leveraged leases are accounted for in Operating Revenues and in Noncurrent Long-Term Investments. See Note 8. Financing Receivables.

PSEG Power

Certain of PSEG Power’s sales agreements related to its solar generating plants qualify as Operating Leases with remaining terms through 2043 with no extension terms. Lease income is based on solar energy generation; therefore, all rental income is variable under these leases. As of September 30, 2019, PSEG Power’s solar generating plants subject to these leases had a total carrying value of $333 million.

PSE&G

PSE&G sponsors a solar loan program 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 generally paid back with solar renewable energy certificates ~~(SRECs)~~ generated from the installed solar electric system. In the event of a loan default, the basis of the solar loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. None of the solar loans are impaired; however, in the event a loan becomes impaired, the basis of the loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. A substantial portion of these amounts are noncurrent and reported in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s and PSE&G’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Energy Holdings

Energy Holdings, through several of its indirect subsidiary companies, has investments in domestic energy and real estate assets subject primarily 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.

During the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2017, due to continuing liquidity issues facing NRG REMA, LLC (REMA), economic challenges facing coal generation in PJM, and based upon an ongoing~~2019, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of ~~available alternatives as well as certain discussions with REMA management, Energy Holdings recorded a $55 million pre-tax charge for its current best~~estimated residual values embedded in the leveraged leases. The outcome indicated that the updated residual value estimate of ~~loss related to~~ the coal-fired Powerton lease ~~receivables. Additional pre-tax charges of $22 million (including $7 million related to~~was lower than the recorded residual value ~~impairment) were recorded~~and the decline was deemed to be other than temporary as a result of expected future adverse market conditions. As a result, a pre-tax write-down of $58 million was reflected in Operating Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, ~~2017.~~

B~~ased on an ongoing review of (i)~~2019, calculated by comparing the liquidity challenges facing REMA and (ii) available alternatives, Energy Holdings recorded an additional $20 million pre-tax charge in the three months ended June 30, 2018 for its current best estimate of loss related to lease receivables. Pre-tax charges were reflected in Operating Revenues in 2018 and 2017 and are included in Gross Investment in Leases as of September 30, 2018.

In September 2018, certain subsidiaries of Energy Holdings (PSEG Entities) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with REMA. Pursuant to the RSA, the PSEG Entities have agreed to support implementation of restructuring and related transactions with respect to REMA’s indebtedness. Such restructuring transactions will be implemented by REMA on an in-court basis under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The RSA outlines a plan of reorganization under which, in addition to other terms, the ownership interestgross investment in the leases ~~relating to~~before and after the Keystone and Conemaugh investments will be transferred to debtholders of REMA. Upon consummation of the restructuring transactions, the PSEG Entities will receive $31.5 million in cash in exchange for (a) the full satisfaction of all claims asserted against REMA and (b) approval of certain amendments to the Shawville lease. The Shawville lease amendments, among other things, will allow REMA to express tentative interest in a renewal on or after November 24, 2019, with similar changes to the other milestones in the lease renewal procedures. In addition, REMA has agreed to fund qualifying credit support up to $36 million.revised residual estimates.

Energy Holdings will be required upon resolution of this matter to accelerate and pay approximately $40 million of state deferred tax liabilities and accelerate and pay and/or reduce $85 million of a forecasted federal tax loss to the IRS.

As of September 30, 2018, no additional charges were recorded because the anticipated proceeds of $31.5 million from the transactions described above are in excess of the September 30, 2018 recorded amounts for the Keystone and Conemaugh lease investments.

The credit exposure for lessors is partially mitigated through various credit enhancement mechanisms within the lease structures. These credit enhancement features vary from lease to lease. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults, indirect subsidiary companies of Energy Holdings would exercise their rights and seek recovery of their investment, 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. ~~Failure to recover adequate value could ultimately lead to a foreclosure on the assets under lease by the lenders.~~

Additional factors that may impact future lease cash flows include, but are not limited to, new environmental legislation and regulation regarding air quality, water and other discharges in the process of generating electricity, market prices for fuel, electricity and capacity, overall financial condition of lease counterparties and their affiliates and the quality and condition of assets under lease.

PSEG Power periodically assesses individual debt securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are considered to be other-than-temporarily 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 in the value of these securities would be recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) unless the securities are sold, in which case, any gain would be recognized in income. 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.”

Note 9.10. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB)

PSEG sponsors qualified and nonqualified pension plans and OPEB plans covering PSEG’s and its participating affiliates’ current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria.

In late June 2019, PSEG approved a plan amendment to its qualified pension plan, effective July 1, 2019. The amendment involved the spin-off of predominantly active participants from the existing qualified pension plan into a new qualified pension plan. Benefits offered to the plan participants remain unchanged. As a result of the amendment, the existing plan’s pension benefit obligations, as well as the asset values, were remeasured as of July 1, 2019. The weighted average discount rate for the combined plans decreased from 4.41% to 3.65%. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets remains at 7.80%. Actuarial gains and losses associated with the existing plan will be amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants (as opposed to the average remaining service of active participants prior to the plan being split). Actuarial gains and losses associated with the new plan will be amortized over the average remaining service of active participants. The combined remeasured qualified pension plans’ projected benefit obligation as of July 1, 2019 was $6.4 billion.

In December 2018, PSEG amended certain provisions of its OPEB plans applicable to all current and future Medicare-eligible retirees and spouses who receive or will receive subsidized healthcare from PSEG. Effective January 1, 2021, the PSEG-sponsored Medicare-eligible plans will be replaced by a Medicare private exchange. For each Medicare-eligible retiree and spouse, PSEG will provide annual credits to a Health Reimbursement Arrangement, which can be used to pay for medical, prescription drug, and dental plan premiums, as well as certain out-of-pocket costs. The amendment resulted in a $559 million reduction in PSEG’s OPEB obligation as of December 31, 2018.

The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit costs relating to all qualified and nonqualified pension and OPEB plans on an aggregate basis for PSEG, excluding Servco. Amounts shown do not reflect the impacts of capitalization and co-owner allocations. ~~Effective with the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018, only~~Only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. ~~For additional information, see Note 2.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, PSEG contributed its entire 2019 annual planned contribution ~~for the year 2018~~ of ~~$14~~$10 million into its OPEB plan.

Servco Pension and OPEB

At the direction of LIPA, Servco sponsors benefit plans that cover its current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria. Under the OSA, all of these and any future employee benefit costs are to be funded by LIPA. See Note 5. Variable Interest Entity. These obligations, as well as the offsetting long-term receivable, are separately presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PSEG.

Servco amounts are not included in any of the preceding pension and OPEB cost disclosures. Pension and OPEB costs of Servco are accounted for according to the OSA. Servco recognizes expenses for contributions to its pension plan trusts and for OPEB payments made to retirees. Operating Revenues are recognized for the reimbursement of these costs. Servco’s pension-related revenues and costs were $14 million and $28 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, Servco ~~has contributed~~completed its entire 2019 annual planned contribution ~~amount of $40 million~~ into its pension ~~plan trusts during 2018.~~plan.

Note ~~10.~~11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guaranteed Obligations

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 by 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, 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 ~~contractual~~ obligations.

The following table shows the face value of PSEG Power’s outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~

As part of determining credit exposure, PSEG Power nets receivables and payables with the corresponding net fair values of energy contracts. See Note ~~12.~~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

~~Historic operations of PSEG companies and the operations of hundreds of other companies along the~~Lower 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 as discussed as follows.

~~Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA)~~River Study Area

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a 17-mile stretch of the ~~lower~~ Passaic River ~~from Newark to Clifton,~~(Lower Passaic River Study Area (LPRSA)) in New Jersey is a “Superfund” site under ~~CERCLA~~the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and ~~a comprehensive study~~Liability Act of ~~the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River needed to be performed.~~1980 (CERCLA). PSE&G and certain of its predecessors conducted operations at properties in this area, ~~of the Passaic River. The properties included one operating electric generating station (Essex Site), which~~including at 1 site that was transferred to ~~Power, one former generating station and four former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites.~~PSEG Power.

~~In early 2007, certain~~Certain Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), including PSE&G and PSEG Power, formed a Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and agreed to ~~assume responsibility for conducting~~conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study ~~(RI/FS)~~ of the ~~17 miles of the lower Passaic River.~~LPRSA. The CPG ~~has agreed to allocate,~~allocated, on an interim basis, the associated costs ~~of the RI/FS~~ among its ~~members on the basis of a mutually agreed upon formula. For the purpose of this~~members. The interim allocation ~~which has been revised as parties have exited~~is subject to change. In June 2019, the EPA conditionally approved the CPG’s Remedial Investigation. In August 2019, the CPG ~~approximately 7.6 percent~~submitted a draft Feasibility Study to the EPA which evaluated various adaptive management scenarios for the remediation of only the RI/FS costs are currently deemed attributable to PSE&G’s former MGP sites and approximately 1.9 percent is attributable to Power’s generating stations. These interim allocations are not binding on PSE&G or Power in terms of their respective shares of the costs that will be ultimately required to remediate the 17upper 9 miles of the ~~lower Passaic River. PSEG has provided notice to insurers concerning this potential claim.~~LPRSA.

The CPG’s draft FS set forth various alternatives for remediating the lower Passaic River with an estimated cost to remediate the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River ranging from approximately $518 million to $3.2 billion on an undiscounted basis.

~~In March 2016,~~Separately, the EPA has released ~~its~~a Record of Decision (ROD) for the ~~EPA’s own Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) which~~LPRSA’s lower 8.3 miles that requires the removal of ~~3.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Passaic River’s lower 8.3 miles~~sediments at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion ~~on an undiscounted basis~~ (ROD Remedy). ~~The EPA estimated~~An EPA-commenced process to allocate the ~~total project length to be about 11 years, including a one year period of negotiation with~~associated costs is underway and PSEG cannot predict the ~~PRPs, three to four years to design the project and six years for implementation.~~outcome. Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC), one of the PRPs, has commenced ~~performance~~the design of ~~the remedial design required by~~ the ROD Remedy, ~~reserving its right of~~but declined to participate in the allocation process. Instead, it filed suit against PSE&G and others seeking cost recovery and contribution ~~from all other PRPs.~~under CERCLA. The litigation is ongoing and PSEG cannot predict the outcome.

In September 2017, the EPA concluded that an Agency-commenced allocation process for the Passaic River’s lower 8.3 miles should include only certain PRPs. The allocation is intended to lead to a consent decree in which certain of the PRPs agree to perform and pay for the remedial action under EPA oversight. The allocation process has commenced and is scheduled to be completed in late 2019.

In October 2018, the EPA Region 2 issued a Directive to the CPG instructing the CPG to focus the ongoing RI/FS evaluation on various adaptive management scenarios for remediation of the upper 9 miles of the Passaic River, which approach has been agreed to in concept by the EPA and the CPG. The Directive does not contain estimates for anticipated costs. Adaptive management focuses on removing targeted “hot spots” of contaminated sediments rather than removing all of the Passaic River’s sediments as in a “bank to bank” approach.

~~In a separate matter, two~~Two PRPs, Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) and Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), have filed for Chapter 11 ~~bankruptcy in Delaware Federal Bankruptcy Court.

Any damages awarded may be used to fund in part, the remediation costs of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River. The creditor trust has reserved its right to file contribution claims against 28 PRPs, including PSEG. This matter is ongoing.

~~In June 2018, OCC filed a complaint in Federal District Court in Newark against various defendants, including PSE&G, seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA for~~ the remediation of the ~~lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River. The~~LPRSA.

~~complaint does not quantify damages sought.~~

The Complaint alleges that “no single hazardous substance” is to blame for the contamination of the lower Passaic River and lists the eight Contaminants of Concern (COCs) identified by the EPA in the ROD. OCC alleges PSE&G is responsible for a portion of six of the eight COCs. PSE&G cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

~~Based upon the estimated cost of the ROD Remedy and PSEG’s estimate of PSE&G’s and Power’s shares of that cost, as~~As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, PSEG has accrued approximately ~~$57 million.~~$65 million for this matter.

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.

Natural Resource Damage Claims

~~In 2003, the~~ New Jersey ~~Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) directed~~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. PSE&G and 56 other PRPs to arrange for a natural resource damage assessment and interim compensatory restoration of natural resource injuries along the lower Passaic River and its tributaries pursuant to the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act. The NJDEP alleged that hazardous substances had been discharged from the Essex Site and the Harrison Site. The NJDEP estimated the cost of interim natural resource injury restoration activities along the lower Passaic River at approximately $950 million. In 2007, agencies of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of the Interior (the Passaic River federal trustees) sent letters to PSE&G and other PRPs inviting participation in an assessment of injuries to natural resources that the agencies intended to perform. In 2008, PSEG and a number of other PRPs agreed to share certain immaterial costs the trustees have incurred and will incur going forward, and to work with the trustees to explore whether some or all of the trustees’ claims can be resolved in a cooperative fashion. That effort is continuing. PSE&G and Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of ~~the~~any possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.

Newark Bay Study Area

PSEG has participated in and partially funded the second phase of this study. Notices to fund the next phase of the study have been received but PSEG has not consented to fund the third phase.their potential liability. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of ~~the possible~~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 site to a third party purchaser, along with the assumption of the environmental liabilities for the site.

MGP Remediation Program

PSE&G is working with the ~~NJDEP~~New Jersey Department 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, PSE&G has determined that the estimated cost to remediate all MGP sites to completion could range between ~~$343~~$364 million and ~~$388~~$407 million on an undiscounted basis through~~2021,~~2023, including its ~~$46~~$52 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 ~~$343~~$364 million as ofSeptember 30, ~~2018.~~2019. Of this amount, ~~$75~~$69 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and ~~$268~~$295 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a ~~$343~~$364 millionRegulatory Asset with respect to these costs.

Clean Water Act (CWA) ~~Permit Renewals~~Section 316(b) Rule

~~Pursuant to~~The EPA’s CWA Section 316(b) rule establishes requirements for the ~~Federal Water Pollution Control Act,~~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 ~~expire within~~be renewed every five years ~~of their effective date. In order to renew these~~and that each state Permitting Director manage renewal permits ~~but allow~~for its respective power generation facilities on a plant to continue to operate, an owner or operator must file a permit application no later than six months prior to expiration of the permit. States with delegated federal authority for this program manage these permits.case by case basis. The NJDEP manages the permits under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) program. Connecticut and New York also have permits to manage their respective pollutant discharge elimination system programs.

In May 2014, the EPA issued a final cooling water intake rule that 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 has structured the rule so that each state Permitting Director will continue to consider renewal permits for existing power facilities on a case by case basis, based on studies related to impingement mortality and entrainment by the facilities seeking renewal permits.

Several environmental organizations and certain energy industry groups have filed suit under the CWA and the Endangered Species Act. The cases were consolidated at the Second Circuit, and in July 2018 the Second Circuit upheld the EPA’s final cooling water intake rule. The Court’s decision allows Permitting Directors to continue to issue permits in accordance with the flexible, site-specific provisions of the final rule.

In June 2016, the NJDEP issued a final NJPDES permit for Salem. The final permit does not mandate specific service water system modifications, but consistent with Section 316 (b) of the CWA, it requires additional studies and the selection of technology to address impingement for the service water system. In July 2016, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network (Riverkeeper) filed aan administrative hearing request challenging certain conditions of the permit, including the NJDEP’s ~~issuance~~application of the ~~final NJPDES renewal permit for Salem. NJDEP has granted the hearing request, but it has not yet been scheduled. The Riverkeeper’s filing does not change the effective date of the permit.~~316(b) rule. If the Riverkeeper’s challenge ~~were~~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 had granted the hearing request but no hearing date has been established.

State permitting decisions at Bridgeport and ~~possibly~~ New Haven could also have a material impact on PSEG Power’s ability to renew permits at its existing larger once-through cooled plants without making significant upgrades to existing intakes and cooling systems.

PSEG Power is unable to predict the outcome of these permitting decisions and the effect, if any, that they may have on PSEG Power’s future capital requirements, financial condition or results of operations.

Power is actively engaged with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) regarding renewal of the current permit for the cooling water intake structure at Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 3 (BH3). To address compliance with the EPA’s CWA Section 316(b) ~~final~~ rule at Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 3 (BH3), PSEG Power has proposed to continue to operate BH3 without making the capital expenditures for modification to the existing intake structure and retire BH3 in 2021, which is four years earlier than the previously estimated useful life ending in 2025. ~~Power is currently awaiting action by the CTDEEP to issue a draft and then a final permit.~~

PSEG Power has entered into a Community Environmental Benefit Agreement (CEBA) with the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and local community organizations. That CEBA provides that PSEG Power would retire BH3 early if all of its conditions precedent occur, which include receipt of all final permits to build and operate a proposed new combined cycle generating facility on the same site that BH3 currently operates. Absent those conditions being met, and the permit for the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

cooling water intake structure referred to above not being issued, PSEG Power may seek to operate BH3 through the previously estimated useful life.

In February 2016, the proposed new generating facility at Bridgeport Harbor was awarded a capacity obligation. The Connecticut Siting Council issued an order to approve siting ~~Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 5 (BH5). All major environmental permits have been received; however, secondary approvals are still being obtained to allow operations to begin in mid-2019.~~BH5. In June 2019, BH5 began commercial operations. PSEG Power’s obligations under the CEBA are being monitored regularly and carried out as needed.

~~Bridgeport Harbor National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Compliance~~

In April 2015, Power determined that monitoring and reporting practices related to certain permitted wastewater discharges at its Bridgeport Harbor station may have violated conditions of the station’s NPDES permit and applicable regulations and could subject it to fines and penalties. Power has notified the CTDEEP of the issues and has taken actions to investigate and resolve the potential non-compliance. Power cannot predict the impact of this matter.

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,

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

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, with PSE&G owning the portion of the cables located in New Jersey and Con Edison owning the portion of the cables located in New York. The NJDEP declared an emergency and an emergency response action was undertaken to investigate, contain, remediate and stop the fluid discharge; to assess, repair and restore the cables to good working order, if feasible; and to restore the property. The regulatory agencies overseeing the emergency response, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the NJDEP and the Army Corps of Engineers, ~~have~~ issued multiple notices, orders and directives to the various parties related to this matter and the parties may also be subject to the assessment of civil penalties related to the discharge and response. The U.S. Coast Guard transitioned control of the federal response to the EPA in May 2018. In August 2018, the EPA ended the federal response to the matter. The response has now transitioned to the NJDEP site remediation program.

The impacted cable was repaired in late September 2017; however, small amounts of residual dielectric fluid believed to be contained within the marina sediment continue to appear on the surface and response actions related to the fluid discharge are ongoing, although at a significantly reduced scale. PSE&G remains concerned about future leaks and potential environmental impacts as a result of reintroduction of fluid back into these lines and has determined that retirement of the affected facilities is appropriate. PSE&G has been unable to reach an agreement with Con Edison and, as a result, in May 2018, PSE&G filed an action at FERC to resolve the matter. FERC dismissed PSE&G’s Complaint against Con Edison in September ~~2018.~~2018 and PSE&G challenged FERC’s decision. In September 2019, FERC denied PSE&G’s challenge to the order dismissing the Complaint. Also ongoing is the lawsuit in federal court 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 these costs through regulatory proceedings.

~~Steam Electric Effluent Guidelines~~

In September 2015, the EPA issued a new Effluent Limitation Guidelines Rule (ELG Rule) for steam electric generating units. The rule establishes new best available technology economically achievable (BAT) standards for fly ash transport water, bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization and flue gas mercury control wastewater. Power’s Bridgeport Harbor station and the jointly-owned Keystone and Conemaugh stations, have bottom ash transport water discharges that are regulated under the ELG Rule. Keystone and Conemaugh also have flue gas desulfurization wastewaters regulated by the ELG Rule.

Through various orders, the EPA has stayed the compliance dates in the ELG Rule and has announced plans to further revise the requirements and compliance dates of the ELG Rule. Power is unable to determine how this will ultimately impact its compliance requirements or its financial condition and results of operations.

Basic Generation Service (BGS), BGSS and ~~Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS)~~ZECs

PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers who choose not to purchase electric supply from ~~third party~~third-party suppliers. The first category, which represents about 80% of PSE&G’s load requirement, 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 Agreement with the winners of these BGS auctions following the BPU’s approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with winning BGS suppliers, including PSEG Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the auction (including PSEG Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM ~~Load Serving~~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.

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, ~~2018~~2019 is ~~$287.76~~$281.78 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, ~~2018~~2019 of ~~$276.83~~$287.76 per MW-day. Energy for BGS-CIEP is priced at hourly PJM locational marginal prices for the contract period.

PSEG Power seeks to mitigate volatility in its results by contracting in advance for the sale of most of its anticipated electric output as well as its anticipated fuel needs. As part of its objective, PSEG Power has entered into contracts to directly supply PSE&G and other New Jersey EDCs with a portion of their respective BGS requirements through the New Jersey BGS auction process, described above.

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 ~~19.~~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. PSE&G has implemented a tariff to collect a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour 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 2021 and a significant portion through 2022 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. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, PSEG Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey.

In connection with the sale of its ownership interests in the Keystone and Conemaugh generation plants in September 2019, PSEG Power ~~also has various long-term fuel~~transferred the related coal purchase commitments ~~for coal through 2021~~ to ~~support its fossil generation stations.~~the buyers.

Pending FERC Matters

In June 2015, Hudson Power Transmission Developers, LLC (Hudson Power), formerly known as TranSource LLC, a merchant transmission developer, filed a complaint against PJM claiming that PJM wrongfully refused to provide data and a transparent process for evaluating transmission network upgrade requests that the transmission developer had submitted to PJM. Although not named as a respondent, the complaint identifies PSE&G as one of the companies claimed to have been involved. In January 2018, a FERC administrative law judge (ALJ) issued an order generally finding that PJM and transmission owners, including PSE&G, did not engage in wrongful conduct. In addition, the developer’s assertion of an entitlement to monetary damages was expressly denied. However, in a determination disputed by PSE&G, the order found that the PJM process lacked transparency. In August 2019, FERC reversed the ALJ’s decision on the transparency-related findings. FERC did find that PJM violated its Tariff and FERC orders, but found those errors were immaterial and ordered no remedies. Hudson Power filed comments alleging FERC erred in overturning the ALJ’s decision, which was subsequently rejected by FERC. However, Hudson Power has the right to challenge this determination. We are unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings.

PSE&G has also received requests for information and a Notice of Investigation from FERC’s Office of Enforcement concerning a transmission project. PSE&G retained outside counsel to assist with an internal investigation. PSE&G is fully cooperating with FERC’s requests for information and the investigation. 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 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. ~~Based upon~~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.

Newark Customer Incident

On the morning of July 5, 2018, PSE&G discontinued electricity to the home of a customer residing in Newark because of outstanding arrears on that customer’s account. Subsequent to the discontinuation of electricity, that customer died on the afternoon of July 5th. The family of the customer, who was on hospice care, raised allegations in the media regarding PSE&G’s conduct surrounding the discontinuation and restoration of electricity to the home of the customer, claiming that the discontinuation of electric service prevented the customer from using life sustaining medical equipment. The BPU initiated an investigation into the matter and that investigation is ongoing. In addition, PSE&G received a grand jury subpoena from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office (ECPO) for records and correspondence between PSE&G and the customer. PSE&G is fully cooperating with the BPU and the ECPO in both proceedings. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of the pending proceedings regarding this incident at this time.

The PSEG Board of Directors (PSEG Board) retained outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation of the facts surrounding this incident with the full support and cooperation of management. The independent investigation concluded that the disconnection itself was not improper; however, it did identify issues related to PSE&G’s response once it was notified of the disconnection. The PSEG Board reviewed and considered the findings and conclusions of the investigation and PSE&G’s proposed corrective actions. PSE&G’s progress on implementation of the corrective actions will continue to be overseen by the PSEG Board.

Caithness Energy, L.L.C. (Caithness)

In August 2018, Caithness, a Long Island power plant developer, filed a complaint in federal district court in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) against PSEG and PSEG LI alleging violations of state and federal antitrust laws and a claim of intentional interference of prospective business relations. Caithness alleges that PSEG and PSEG LI interfered with LIPA’s consideration of the Caithness proposal for a 750 MW combined cycle generation project that was identified as a finalist for a Request For Proposal issued by LIPA. ~~In addition, Caithness claims that PSEG and PSEG LI induced LIPA to agree to eliminate the proposed project as a potential competitor to other PSEG affiliates with power supply operations.~~ The complaint alleges hundreds of millions of dollars of ~~harm~~harm.

Hudson Power

In January 2019, Hudson Power filed a complaint against PJM, PSE&G and three other transmission owners in Pennsylvania state court. Hudson Power has sued the transmission owner defendants for fraud and intentional misrepresentation relating to information provided to PJM and FERC regarding the costs of upgrades for Hudson Power’s proposed project. These allegations appear to be based on alleged conduct that is the subject of the Hudson Power proceeding discussed under “Pending FERC Matters.” This action was removed to federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in February 2019. In light of the FERC proceeding, the federal court granted a motion to stay the federal proceeding until the conclusion of the FERC proceeding. Based upon the preliminary nature of this matter, a loss is not considered probable nor is the amount of loss, if any, estimable as of September 30, 2019.

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, PSE&G and PSEG Power 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, PSE&G’s or PSEG Power’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, PSE&G’s or PSEG Power’s results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.

Short-Term Liquidity

PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily with cash and through the issuance of commercial paper. 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.

The commitments under the ~~$4.3~~$4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the total available credit capacity was $3.6 billion.

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, no single institution represented more than 9% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, total credit capacity was in excess of the total anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon.

In September 2018, Power amended an existing 3-year $100 million letter of credit facility, extending the expiration date to September 2021. The second letter of credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in March 2020, will be terminated during the fourth quarter of 2018. Power also executed a new 3-year $100 million letter of credit facility that expires in September 2021.

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.

(UNAUDITED)

Note ~~12.~~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, PSEG Power 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 effective 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.

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, fossil fuels 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 ~~10.~~11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Changes in the fair market value of these derivative contracts are recorded in earnings.

Interest Rates

PSEG, PSEG Power and PSE&G 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. In addition, they have used a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swaps.

Fair Value Hedges

PSEG enters into fair value hedges to convert fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are fully offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying forecasted interest payments of the debt. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 or December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

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. As of September 30, 2019, PSEG had interest rate hedges outstanding totaling $700 million. These hedges convert PSEG’s $700 million variable-rate term loan due November 2020 into a fixed-rate loan. PSEG interest rate hedges totaling ~~$500~~$600 million were ~~executed and~~ terminated during the second quarter ~~of 2018~~ and a loss of ~~$(1)~~$(12) million was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) and will amortize to interest expense over the remaining life of ~~Power’s $700~~PSEG’s $750 million of ~~3.85%~~2.875% Senior Notes due June ~~2023.~~2024. For additional information see Note ~~11.~~12. Debt and Credit ~~Facilities. There~~Facilities.

The fair value of these hedges was $(7) million as of September 30, 2019 and there were no outstanding interest rate hedges as of ~~September 30, 2018 and~~ December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to outstanding and terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $(17) million and $(1) million as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~was immaterial as of~~ December 31, ~~2017.~~2018, respectively. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are ~~immaterial.~~$(2) 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 Power and PSEG. For additional information see Note ~~13.~~14. Fair Value Measurements.

~~Table~~Certain of ~~Contents~~

~~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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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 three level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s 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 ~~$23~~$35 million and ~~$30~~$22 million as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $7$6 million and ~~$13~~$7 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 ~~$16~~$29 million and ~~$17~~$15 million as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

The following shows the effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

The effect of interest rate cash flow hedges is recorded in Interest Expense in PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the amount of gain or loss on interest rate hedges reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into income was $(1) million after-tax. The amount of gain or loss on interest rate hedges reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into income for 2018 was immaterial.

The following reconciles the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for derivative activity included in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of PSEG on a pre-tax and after-tax basis.

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 Power’s and 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 September 30, ~~2018.~~2019. 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 September 30, ~~2018, 97%~~2019, 99% 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 September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, collateral held from counterparties where PSEG Power had credit exposure included $2$3 million in cash collateral and ~~$12~~$19 million in letters of credit.

As of September 30, ~~2018~~2019, PSEG Power had ~~137~~127 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 September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, primarily all of the posted collateral was in the form of parental guarantees. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers

represents PSE&G’s net credit exposure. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, PSE&G had no net credit exposure with suppliers, including 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 ~~13.~~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, PSE&G and PSEG Power 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. ~~As of September 30, 2018, these consisted~~These consist primarily of certain electric load contracts and gas 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, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s respective assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, 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 and PSEG Power.

(A)	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

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 ~~Dreyfus~~ 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~~net asset value is priced and published daily. The Rabbi ~~Trust also has an equity~~Trust’s Russell 3000 index fund ~~which~~ is valued based on quoted prices in an active ~~market.~~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. The preferred stocks are not actively traded on a daily basis and therefore, are also priced using an evaluated pricing methodology. 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.


(C)	Interest rate swaps are valued using quoted prices on commonly quoted intervals, which are interpolated for periods different than the quoted intervals, as inputs to a market valuation model. Market inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.

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’s Risk Management Committee (RMC) approves risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The RMC reports to the Corporate Governance and Audit Committees of the PSEG Board ~~of Directors~~ on the scope of the risk management activities and is responsible for approving all valuation procedures at PSEG. Forward price curves for the power market utilized by PSEG Power to manage the portfolio are maintained and reviewed by PSEG’s Enterprise Risk Management market pricing group and used for financial reporting purposes. PSEG considers credit and nonperformance 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 nonperformance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements.

The fair value of PSEG Power’s electric load contracts in which load consumption may change hourly based on demand are measured using certain unobservable inputs, such as historic load variability and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of PSEG Power’s gas physical contracts at certain illiquid delivery locations are measured using average historical basis and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. While these physical gas ~~physical~~ contracts have an unobservable component in their

(B)

Given that these bonds do not trade actively, the fair value amounts of taxable debt securities (primarily Level 2 measurements) are generally determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current market pricing curves. In order to incorporate the credit risk into the discount rates, pricing ~~is obtained~~ (i.e. U.S. Treasury rate plus credit spread) is based on expected new issue pricing across each of the companies’ respective debt maturity spectrum. The credit spreads of various tenors obtained from this information are added to the appropriate benchmark U.S. Treasury rates in order to determine the current market yields for the various tenors. The yields are then converted into discount rates of various tenors that are used for discounting the respective cash flows of the same tenor for each bond or note. The fair value amounts above do not represent the price at which the outstanding debt may be called for redemption by each issuer under their respective debt agreements.

PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 were as follows:

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the differences in PSEG’s ~~effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act~~ and the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions and associated interest in connection with a 2015 claim to carry back tax-defined nuclear decommissioning costs under IRC 172(f) (nuclear carryback claim) and 2011 and 2012 federal tax audit, offset by the New Jersey (NJ) surtax, plant-related items and tax credits. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the differences in PSEG’s effective tax rates as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions and associated interest in connection with the nuclear carryback claim and 2011 and 2012 federal tax audit, plant-related items and tax credits, offset by the NJ surtax.

In August 2018, the IRS completed its audit of PSEG’s nuclear carryback claim and federal tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012. The completion of the IRS’ audit resulted in a settlement agreement with the IRS, which is subject to review by the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). As a result of this new information, PSEG remeasured certain unrecognized tax benefits that impacted the effective tax rate in the amount of $28 million, primarily related to the nuclear carryback claim and the associated interest, in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

~~For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the differences in~~ PSE&G’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year ~~were due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act, offset by changes in uncertain tax positions, plant-related~~ and ~~other flow-through items.

~~Uncertain Tax Positions~~

In August 2018, the IRS completed its audit of PSEG’s nuclear carryback claim and federal tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012. The JCT is required to review all claims over $5 million, and the tax years are not considered concluded until the JCT’s review has been completed. As a result, it is reasonably possible that PSEG’s total unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the range of $50 million to $120 million basedcredits on ~~current estimates within the next 12 months.~~lower pre-tax income.

Tax Act

Effective January 1, 2018, the U.S. federal corporate tax rate was reduced from a maximum of 35% to 21% resulting in a decrease in PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG ~~PSE&G~~Power’s effective income tax rates. To the extent allowed under the Tax Act, PSEG Power’s operating cash flows reflect the full expensing of capital investments for income tax purposes. The Tax Act has led to lower customer rates due to lower income tax expense recoveries and ~~Power recorded~~ the BPU and FERC have approved PSEG’s proposals to refund excess deferred income tax Regulatory Liabilities. The impact of the lower federal income tax rate on PSE&G was reflected in PSE&G’s distribution base rate proceeding and its 2018 transmission formula rate filings. The Tax Act is generally expected to result in ~~their December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements, including certain provisional amounts, in accordance with SEC guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118). PSEG’s accounting~~lower operating cash flows for ~~certain elements~~PSE&G resulting from the elimination of bonus depreciation, partially offset by higher revenues due to the ~~Tax Act remains incomplete.~~higher rate base.

In ~~August~~November 2018, the IRS issued proposed regulations addressing the interest disallowance rules contained in the Tax Act. For non-regulated businesses, these rules set a ~~Notice~~cap on the amount of ~~Proposed Rulemaking (Notice)~~interest that can be deducted in a given year. Any amount that is disallowed can be carried forward indefinitely. For 2019, PSEG and PSEG Power expect that a portion of the interest will be disallowed in the current period but realized in future periods. However, certain aspects of the proposed regulations are unclear. Therefore, PSEG recorded taxes based on its interpretation of the relevant statutes.

In September 2019, the IRS released final and additional proposed regulations regarding the application of tax depreciation rules as amended by the Tax Act. ~~In September 2018, PSEG~~We do not believe the final or proposed regulations materially impact our application of the rules.

Amounts recorded ~~additional provisional adjustments thatincreased plant-related deferred taxes in the amount of $53 million and $35 million to the Regulatory Liability for the associated excess deferred taxes.PSEG continues to analyze the Notice and, as such, the amounts recorded for bonus depreciation for 2017 and 2018 remain provisional.~~

~~Further,~~under the Tax Act, ~~is unclear in certain respects~~including but not limited to depreciation and ~~will require interpretations and implementing regulations by~~interest disallowance, are subject to change based on several factors, including but not limited to, the IRS ~~as well as~~and state ~~tax authorities. The Tax Act could also be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections which~~taxing authorities issuing additional guidance and/or further clarification. Any further guidance or clarification could impact PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements.

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (2015 Tax Act), among other provisions, included an extension of the bonus depreciation rules and the 30% investment tax credit for qualified property placed into service after 2016. Qualified property that is placed into service from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017 is eligible for the 50% bonus depreciation. The provisions of the 2015 Tax Act have generated significant cash tax benefits for PSEG, PSE&G and Power through tax benefits related to the accelerated depreciation.

For the period beginning September 28, 2017, subject to the transition rules, the Tax Act modified the bonus depreciation rules of the 2015 Tax Act. Subject to further review of the Notice, it is expected that Power will be entitled to 100% expensing for qualifying 2018 plant additions and bonus depreciation will no longer apply to PSE&G.

New Jersey State Tax Reform

In ~~July~~ 2018, the State of New Jersey made significant changes to its income tax laws, including imposing a temporary surtax ~~on allocated corporate taxable income~~ of 2.5% effective January 1, 2018 and 2019 and 1.5% in 2020 and 2021, as well as requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. Both provisions include an exemption for public utilities. ~~At this time,~~ PSEG believes PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be impacted by the temporary surtax or be included in the combined reporting group. ~~PSEG expects these new provisions to unfavorably affect its non-utility business. The newly enacted~~

In 2019, the State of New Jersey ~~tax legislation did not have~~issued further guidance regarding the temporary surtax and clarified that New Jersey net operating loss carryovers can be deducted in computing a ~~material impact on PSEG’s deferred income tax balance.~~taxpayer’s entire net income. This guidance has the effect of lowering or eliminating the temporary surtax.

EPS

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding or vesting of restricted stock awards granted under PSEG’s stock compensation plans and upon payment of performance units or restricted stock units. The following table shows the effect of these stock options, performance units and restricted stock units on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted EPS:

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 ~~2017~~ Form 10-K.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF ~~2018~~2019 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

Our business plan is designed to achieve growth while managing the risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices and changes in customer demand.

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 ~~projects that enhance system reliability and resiliency,~~ and clean energy ~~projects to meet customer expectations and support public policy objectives.~~programs. Over the past few years, our investments have altered our business mix to reflect a higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G. ~~Over~~Based upon the ~~next five years, we expect~~settlement of the Energy Strong Program II (ES II) noted below, PSE&G has narrowed its five-year capital expenditure range to ~~invest between~~ $12 billion ~~and $16~~to $14.5 billion, resulting in ~~our business which is~~an expected ~~to provide an~~ annual rate base growth of ~~8%—10%~~7.5% to 8.5%. ~~We have completed our Energy Strong Program I (ES I) and are forecasting completion of our Gas System Modernization Program I (GSMP I) early next year.~~

In ~~May 2018,~~2019, we ~~received approval for the~~commenced our BPU-approved Gas System Modernization Program II (GSMP II), an expanded, five-year program to invest $1.9 billion ~~over five years~~ beginning in 2019 to replace approximately 875 miles of cast iron and unprotected steel mains in addition to other improvements to the gas system. Approximately $1.6 billion will be recovered through periodic rate roll-ins, with the remaining $300 million to be recovered through a future base rate ~~case.~~proceeding. As part of the settlement approved by the BPU, PSE&G agreed to file a base rate ~~case~~proceeding no later than ~~five years from the commencement of the program,~~December 2023, to maintain a base level of gas distribution capital expenditures of $155 million per year and to achieve certain leak reduction targets.

In June 2018, we filed for our ~~Energy Strong Program~~ES II, ~~(ES II),~~ a proposed five-year $2.5 billion program to harden, modernize and ~~make~~improve the resiliency of our electric and gas distribution ~~systems more resilient. The size~~systems. In September 2019, the BPU approved an $842 million program for gas and ~~duration~~electric projects which will begin in the fourth quarter of ~~ES II, as well as certain other elements~~2019 and is expected to be completed at the end of 2023. As part of the settlement agreement, approximately $692 million of the program ~~are subject to BPU approval.~~will be recovered through periodic rate recovery filings,

with the balance to be recovered in our next distribution base rate case, which is required to be filed no later than December 2023.

In October 2018, we filed our proposed Clean Energy Future (CEF) program with the BPU, a six-year estimated ~~$3.6~~$3.5 billion investment covering four programs; (i) an Energy Efficiency (EE) program ~~focused on achieving New Jersey’s~~totaling $2.5 billion of investment designed to achieve energy efficiency targets ~~supporting electric vehicle~~required under New Jersey’s Clean Energy law; (ii) an Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure ~~deploying energy storage, and implementing~~program; (iii) an Energy Storage (ES) program and (iv) an Energy Cloud (EC) program which will include installing ~~2.2~~approximately two million ~~advanced meter infrastructure (AMI)~~electric smart meters and associated infrastructure.

~~Also,~~ The BPU is reviewing the CEF-EE program concurrently with its efforts related to implementing provisions of the Clean Energy Act related to energy efficiency. The BPU is also addressing stakeholder input as it works to finalize New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan, currently scheduled to be released in October 2018, the BPU issued an Order approving the settlement of our distribution base rate case with new rates effective November 1, 2018. The settlement resulted in a net reduction in overall annual revenues of approximately $13 million, comprised of a $212 million increase in base revenues, which includes the recovery of deferred storm costs, and the return of tax benefits largely due to tax reform of approximately $225 million. The Order provides for a distribution rate base of $9.5 billion, a 9.6% return on equity (ROE) for our distribution business and a 54% equity component of our capitalization structure. In addition to the $13 million annual revenue reduction, the Order provides for a one-time refund for taxes collected at the higher federal income tax rate for the January 1 to March 31, 2018 period.December 2019. As a result, the CEF-EE filing remains pending before the BPU. In September 2019, the BPU approved a settlement reached with the parties in the CEF-EE that extends the matter into March 2020, and that authorizes, in the interim, an additional $27 million investment for PSE&G ~~will refund $28 million~~ to ~~customers~~continue delivering four of its existing EE programs for an additional year.

In November 2018, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (Rate Counsel) filed a motion to dismiss the CEF-EC filing on the basis that the BPU announced a moratorium on electric distribution companies’ advanced meter infrastructure programs. In December 2018, Rate Counsel filed a motion to stay the CEF-EV/ES filing, arguing that the BPU should conclude other regulatory proceedings addressing EVs and ES, including the new Energy Master Plan and initiatives required by the Clean Energy Act, before it rules on PSE&G’s program. We opposed Rate Counsel’s motions, asking for the BPU to permit these filings to proceed. There is no timetable for the BPU to decide on Rate Counsel’s motions. We continue to pursue procedural schedules to initiate the BPU’s review of our proposed CEF-EV/ES and CEF-EC programs.

We also continue to invest in ~~November~~transmission infrastructure in order to (i) maintain and ~~December 2018.~~enhance system integrity and grid reliability, grid security and safety, (ii) address an aging transmission infrastructure, (iii) leverage technology to improve the operation of the system, (iv) reduce transmission constraints, (v) meet growing demand and (vi) meet environmental requirements and standards set by various regulatory bodies. Our planned capital spending for transmission in 2019-2021 is $3.6 billion.

PSEG Power

At PSEG Power, we strive to improve performance and reduce costs in order to optimize cash flow generation from our fleet in light of low wholesale power and gas prices, environmental considerations and competitive market forces that reward efficiency and reliability. PSEG Power continues to move its fleet ~~towards~~toward improved efficiency and believes that its recently completed investment program enhances its competitive position with the addition of efficient, clean, reliable combined cycle gas turbine capacity. Our commitments for load, such as basic generation service (BGS) in New Jersey and other bilateral supply contracts, are backed by this generation or may be combined with the use of physical commodity purchases and financial instruments from the market to optimize the economic efficiency of serving our obligations. PSEG Power’s hedging practices and ability to capitalize on market opportunities help it to balance some of the volatility of the merchant power business. ~~More than half~~Approximately 75% of PSEG Power’s expected gross margin in ~~2018~~2019 relates to hedging of our ~~hedging strategy,~~energy margin, our expected revenues from the capacity market mechanisms, Zero Emission Certificate revenues that commenced in April 2019 and certain ancillary service payments such as reactive power.

~~Our investments in~~We commenced commercial operations of Keys Energy Center (Keys), and Sewaren 7 ~~and~~in mid-2018. Upon the start of commercial operation of Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 5 (BH5) ~~reflect our recognition of the value of opportunistic growth~~ in ~~the~~June 2019, PSEG Power ~~business.~~completed its 1,800 MW combined cycle gas turbine construction program. These additions to our fleet both expand our geographic diversity and adjust our fuel mix and ~~are expected to~~ enhance the environmental profile and overall efficiency of PSEG Power’s generation fleet.

Operational Excellence

We emphasize operational performance while developing opportunities in both our competitive and regulated businesses. Flexibility in our generating fleet has allowed us to take advantage of opportunities in a rapidly evolving market as we remain diligent in managing costs. In the first nine months of 2019, our

utility continued its efforts to control costs while maintaining strong operational performance, including ranking in the top quartile among large utilities in the East in JD Power’s 2019 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study,

diverse fuel mix and dispatch flexibility allowed us to generate approximately 43 terawatt hours while addressing fuel availability and price volatility, and

total nuclear fleet achieved a capacity factor of 91.0%.

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 nine months of 2019 as we

maintained sufficient liquidity,

maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and

increased our indicative annual dividend for 2019 to $1.88 per share.

We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements, as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources, and the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) without the issuance of new equity. For additional information on the impacts of the Tax Act, see Tax Legislation below.

Financial Results

As a result of the settlement of PSE&G’s distribution base rate proceeding in October 2018, with new rates effective November 1, 2018, PSE&G’s overall annual revenues were reduced by approximately $13 million, comprised of a $212 million increase in base revenues, including recovery of deferred storm costs, offset by the return of tax benefits of approximately $225 million. The tax benefits include the flowback to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rates provided in the Tax Act as well as the accumulated deferred income taxes from previously realized tax repair deductions and tax benefits from future tax repair deductions as realized.

PSE&G also filed a revised 2019 Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update to include the refund of the approved excess deferred income tax benefits. The revised 2019 Annual Transmission Formula Rate, as filed with FERC in January 2019, decreases overall annual transmission revenues by approximately $54 million, subject to true-up.

The results for PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power for the three months and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 are presented as follows:

(A)

NDT Fund Income (Expense) includes gains and losses on NDT securities which are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. See Item 1. Note 8.9. Trust Investments for additional information. NDT Fund Income (Expense) also includes interest and dividend income and other costs related to the NDT Fund recorded in 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.

Our ~~$17~~$9 million ~~increase~~decrease in Net Income for the three months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 was driven largely by


•	unrealizedlosses in 2019 as compared to unrealized gains in 2018 on equity securities on the NDT Fund at PSEG Power,

lower volumes of electricity sold at lower average prices in the PJM region and under the BGS contracts as well as a decrease in capacity revenue at PSEG Power, and

an income tax benefit in 2018 resulting from the reserve for uncertain tax positions in connection with a nuclear carryback claim and closure of the 2011 and 2012 federal tax audit at PSEG Power, partially offset by

higher earnings due to ~~continued investment~~investments in ~~transmission~~T&D programs and the favorable impact of new rates effective November 1, 2018 as a result of the BPU’s approval of our distribution ~~clause programs,~~base rate proceeding at PSE&G,

the favorable impact ~~at Power from the lower federal tax rate effective January 1, 2018 and remeasurement~~ of ~~uncertain tax positions and associated interest~~retiree medical plan benefit changes implemented in ~~connection with the nuclear carryback claim and 2011 and 2012 federal tax audit,~~2019, and

~~higher volumes of electricity sold~~revenue from Zero Emissions Certificates (ZECs) starting in ~~the PJM region generated by our new Keys and Sewaren combined cycle facilities,~~

~~largely offset by higher MTM net losses in 2018, and~~

~~higher generation costs driven by increased volumes of gas purchased~~mid-April 2019 at ~~higher average prices in the PJM region.~~PSEG Power.

Our ~~$621~~$17 million increase in Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 was driven ~~largely~~primarily by

~~accelerated depreciation~~MTM gains in ~~2017 related~~2019 as compared to ~~early retirement of our Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation units,~~MTM losses in 2018 at PSEG Power,

net gains in 2019 on equity securities in the NDT Fund at PSEG Power,

~~higher volumes~~revenue from ZECs starting in mid-April 2019 at PSEG Power, largely offset by

a loss related to the sale of ~~electricity sold under wholesale load contracts~~PSEG Power’s ownership interests in the ~~PJM region,~~Keystone and

~~lower charges~~ Conemaugh generation plants in ~~2018 related to leveraged lease investments (see Item 1. Note 7. Financing Receivables),~~

~~partially offset by MTM losses in 2018,~~

~~higher fuel generation costs,~~

~~and lower volumes of electricity sold at lower prices under our BGS contracts.~~2019.

The greater emphasis on capital spending in recent years for projects on which we receive contemporaneous returns at PSE&G has yielded strong results, which when combined with the cash flow generated by PSEG Power, has allowed us to increase our dividend annually. These actions to meet customer needs, market conditions and investor expectations reflect our long-term

approach to managing our company. We continue our focus on operational excellence, financial strength and disciplined investment. These guiding principles have provided the base from which we have been able to execute our strategic initiatives.

~~Operational Excellence~~

~~utility achieved continued strong reliability and customer satisfaction results, as well as comprehensive storm preparation and restoration efforts, and ongoing cost control,~~

~~diverse fuel mix and dispatch flexibility allowed us to generate approximately 42 terawatt hours while addressing fuel availability and price volatility, and~~

~~total nuclear fleet achieved a capacity factor of 92.9%.~~

~~Financial Strength~~

~~maintained sufficient liquidity,~~

~~maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and~~

We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements and manage the impacts of the Tax Act without the issuance of new equity. For additional information on the impacts of the Tax Act, see Item 1. Note 6. Rate Filings and Note 15. Income Taxes.

Disciplined Investment

We utilize rigorous ~~investment~~ criteria when deploying capital and seek to invest in areas that complement our existing business and provide reasonable risk-adjusted returns. These areas include upgrading our energy infrastructure ~~responding~~and improving our environmental footprint to ~~trends in environmental protection and providing new energy supplies in domestic markets~~align with ~~growing demand.~~public policy objectives. In the first nine months of ~~2018,~~2019, we

made additional investments in T&D infrastructure projects,

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 ~~the company,~~us, see Part I, Item 1. Business—Regulatory Issues in our ~~2017 Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K and Item 5. Other Information in our ~~Forms~~Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and June 30, ~~2018~~2019 (first and second quarter 2019 10-Qs) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Transmission Planning

There are several matters pending before FERC ~~and the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit)~~ that may impact the allocation of costs associated with transmission projects, including those being constructed by PSE&G. Regardless of how these proceedings are resolved, PSE&G’s ability to recover the costs of these projects will not be affected. However, the result of these proceedings could ultimately impact the amount of costs borne by customers in New Jersey. In addition, as a BGS supplier, PSEG Power provides services that include specified transmission costs. If the allocation of the costs associated with the transmission projects were to increase these BGS-related transmission costs, BGS suppliers would be entitled to recovery, subject to BPU approval. We do not believe that these matters will have a material effect on PSEG Power’s business or results of operations.

Several complaints have been filed and several remain pending at FERC against transmission owners around the country, challenging those transmission owners’ base ~~ROE.~~return on equity (ROE). Certain of those complaints have resulted in decisions and others have been settled, resulting in reductions of those transmission owners’ base ROEs. The results of these other proceedings could set precedents for other transmission owners with formula rates in place, including PSE&G.

In October 2018, FERC issued an order establishing a new framework for determining whether a company’s ROE is unjust and unreasonable. FERC proposes to rely on financial models to establish a composite zone of reasonableness that will be used to determine whether an ROE complaint should be dismissed. If FERC determines that an ~~existing~~ ROE for a company is ~~unjust~~not just and ~~unreasonable,~~reasonable, it intends to reset the ROE based on averaging the results of various financial models. We ~~are still analyzing~~continue to analyze the potential impact of these methodologies and cannot predict the outcome of ~~this proceeding. See Part II, Item 5. Other Information~~ongoing ROE proceedings.

In March 2019, FERC issued two Notices of Inquiry (NOI) that could affect a company’s ROE: (i) an NOI seeking comment on improvements to FERC’s electric transmission incentives policy to ensure that it appropriately encourages the development of the infrastructure needed to ensure grid reliability and reduce congestion to lower the cost of power for ~~additional information.~~consumers (Incentive NOI), and (ii) an NOI seeking comments whether, and if so how, FERC should change its policies for establishing just and reasonable ROEs. The Incentive NOI is intended to examine whether existing incentives, such as the 50 basis point adder for Regional Transmission Organization membership, should continue to be granted and whether new incentives should be established.

Wholesale Power Market Design

In June 2018, FERC issued an order finding that PJM’s current capacity market is ~~unjust~~not just and ~~unreasonable~~reasonable because it ~~allows~~enabled state-supported resources ~~supported by out-of-market payments~~ to ~~suppress capacity~~bid below their costs which resulted in suppressed clearing prices. In particular, FERC ~~established a proceeding to consider an alternative capacity market design. FERC’s potential action in this proceeding could cause~~found that nuclear generating units that receive zero ~~emissions certificates (ZEC)~~emission certificate payments ~~to lose capacity market revenues if states do not take steps to address this potential loss~~were of ~~capacity revenues. In addition, depending~~concern. Depending on the outcome of this matter, our ~~fossil~~ generating stations could ~~also~~ be impacted.

In late July 2019, FERC issued an order directing PJM to delay its capacity auction until it can approve replacement auction rules and provide greater certainty to the market than conducting the auction under existing rules. FERC also denied PJM’s request to clarify that any just and reasonable replacement auction rules ultimately adopted would operate prospectively. FERC held that it would not rule prematurely on the issue of an appropriate remedy prior to rendering a determination on the merits of the replacement auction rules. Since one of the Commissioners is recused from this matter, FERC does not have a quorum to issue an order. We do not anticipate an order in this matter until the earlier of either the end of Commissioner Glick’s recusal on November 29, 2019 or when James Danly is confirmed by the Senate and sworn in as a Commissioner. We cannot predict when FERC will issue replacement auction rules and what impact those rules will have on the ~~outcome~~capacity market or our generating stations.

In October 2018, PJM filed with FERC to revise the shape of ~~this matter.~~

The PJM Board directed PJM staff to work with stakeholders to implement a series of price formation reforms, including a 30-minute reserve product in real-time, more dynamic reserve requirements to better capture operator actions taken to maintain reliability, and improvement to the ~~curves used to price reserves during reserve shortage conditions. The PJM Board letter directs PJM staff to submit some of these reforms for FERC’s approval so~~Variable Resource Requirement (VRR) curve that ~~they can~~will be implemented in ~~early 2019. If placed into effect,~~the next capacity auction. The VRR curve is the administratively determined demand curve that serves as one of the key elements for establishing the amount of generation capacity to be procured in the auction. PJM’s proposed tariff revisions will result in lower Cost of New Entry values as compared to the currently effective VRR curve. PSEG protested PJM’s proposal on the grounds that it would result in understated prices for capacity relative to the cost of constructing a new reference generating unit and will result in prices that are unjust and unreasonable. In April 2019, FERC issued an Order approving PJM’s filing without modification and these ~~reforms should improve energy and reserve prices by ensuring that when operators commit resources~~changes are expected to ~~ensure reliability,~~be in place for the ~~commitments are reflected in market clearing prices. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.~~

Under these regulations, utilities can seek authority to make specified infrastructure investments in programs extendingbeen delayed until FERC approves new auction rules. In mid-May 2019, PSEG filed a request for up to five years with accelerated cost recovery mechanisms. The BPU characterized the IIP regulations as a regulatory initiative intended to create a financial incentive for utilities to accelerate the level of investment needed to promote the timely rehabilitation and replacement of certain traditional utility infrastructure that enhances reliability, resiliency, and/or safety.rehearing which remains pending before FERC.

Environmental Regulation

We continue to advocate for the development and implementation of fair and reasonable rules by the EPA and state environmental regulators. In particular, section 316(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act requires that cooling water intake structures, which are a significant part of the generation of electricity at steam-electric generating stations, reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Implementation of Section 316(b) and related state regulations could adversely impact future nuclear and fossil operations and costs.

In August 2018, the EPA released the proposed Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as a replacement for the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. The proposed ACE rule gives states great flexibility to evaluate specific heat rate improvement technologies and practices to be applied at coal-fired electric generating units. States have three years from the date of finalization to submit a plan that establishes a standard of performance that reflects the degree of emission limitation through the application of heat rate improvement technologies and practices. We cannot estimate the impact of this action on our business or results of operations at this time.

~~We are also~~ subject to liability under environmental laws for the costs of remediating environmental 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 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 variousstatutes. 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 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 ~~10.~~11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

~~Early Plant Retirements~~

~~Fossil~~

On June 1, 2017, Power completed its previously announced retirement of the generation operations of the existing coal/gas units at the Hudson and Mercer generating stations. The decision to retire the Hudson and Mercer units had a material effect on PSEG’s and Power’s results of operations in 2016 and continued to adversely impact their results of operations in 2017. As of June 1, 2017, Power completed recognition of the incremental D&A Expense of $938 million ($964 million in total) due to the significant shortening of the expected economic useful lives of Hudson and Mercer. See Item 1. Note 4. Early Plant Retirements for additional information.

~~Power is exploring various opportunities with these sites, including using the sites for alternative industrial activity or the~~

~~disposition of one or both of the sites. If Power determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early~~

~~retirement of the units at such sites would trigger obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible~~

~~remediation. The amounts for any such remediation are neither currently probable nor estimable but may be material.~~Nuclear

In ~~addition,~~April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations, to assess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives and their continued classification as held for use. The precise timing of a change in useful lives may be dependent upon events out of PSEG’s and Power’s control and may impact their ability to operate or maintain certain assets in the future. These generating stations may be impacted by factors such as environmental legislation, co-owner capital requirements and continued depressed wholesale power prices or capacity factors, among other things. Any early retirement or change in the classification as held for use of our remaining coal units may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results.

~~Nuclear~~

Since 2013, several nuclear generating stations in the United States have closed or announced early retirement due to economic reasons, or have announced being at risk for early retirement. In September 2018, Exelon, a co-owner of the Salem units, shut down its OysterHope Creek nuclear plant located in New Jersey one year earlier than previously planned for economic reasons. In addition, First Energy announced in March 2018 the early retirement of four nuclear units at the Davis-Besse, Perry Nuclear and Beaver Valley nuclear plants ~~in Ohio and Pennsylvania by 2021. These closures and retirements are generally due to the decline in market prices of energy, resulting from low natural gas prices driven~~were awarded ZECs by the ~~growth of shale gas production since 2007,~~BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities, both federal and state-level policies that provide financial incentives to construct renewable energy such as wind and solar and the failure to adequately compensate nuclear generating stations for the attributes they bring similar to renewable energy production. These trends have significantly reduced the revenues of nuclear generating stations while limiting their ability to reduce the unit cost of production. This may result in the electric generation industry experiencing a further shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet.

~~In May 2018, the governor of New Jersey signed legislation that would provide a safety net in order to prevent the loss of environmental attributes~~BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear ~~generating stations referred to as the ZEC program. The legislation calls for the BPU to establish a collection process for a customer charge, determine eligibility~~plants and certification of need, and potentially select nuclear plants to receive ZECs starting in April 2019. The law mandates each New Jersey electric distribution company, including PSE&G, to purchase ZECs and recover its procurement of ZECsrecovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge ~~(ZEC charge)~~ in the amount of $0.004 per ~~kilowatt-hour.~~

~~In the ordinary course, management,~~kilowatt-hour (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, and will be obligated to maintain operations, subject to exceptions specified in the ~~case~~ZEC legislation. PSEG Power anticipates it will recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. The ZEC legislation requires nuclear plants to reapply for any subsequent three year periods. The ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU (a) at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source or (b) at certain times specified in the ZEC legislation if the BPU determines that the purposes of the ~~Salem units~~ZEC legislation can be achieved through a reduced charge that will nonetheless be sufficient to achieve the ~~co-owner, each makes a number~~state’s air quality and other environmental objectives by preventing the retirement of ~~decisions that impact the operation of our~~ nuclear units beyond the current year, including whether and to what extent these units participate in Reliability Pricing Model capacity auctions, commitments relating to refueling outages and significant capital expenditures, and decisions regarding our hedging arrangements. When considering whether to make these future commitments, management’s decisions will primarily be influencedplants. The BPU’s decision awarding ZECs has been appealed by ~~the~~Rate Counsel. The financial ~~outlook~~condition of the units, including the progress, timing and continued outlook for selection of the units under the newly enacted legislation in the state of New Jersey. Power and Exelon have agreed to continue to assess and, when appropriate, approve the funding of individual capital projects to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the safe operation of the Salem generating station and that the funding of previously postponed projectsplants may nonetheless be ~~restored as a result of the legislation enacted in New Jersey sufficiently values the attributes of nuclear generation and Salem benefits from such legislation.~~

Power believes it may be unable to cover its costs and would be inadequately compensated for its market and operational risks at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear units, which would result in Power retiring these units early, if (i) energy market prices continue to be depressed, (ii) there are adverse impacts frommaterially adversely impacted by potential changes to the capacity market construct being considered by FERC ~~or (iii) Salem and/or Hope Creek are not selected to participate~~(absent sufficient capacity revenues provided under a program approved by the BPU in accordance with a FERC authorized capacity mechanism), and, in the ZEC program or the ZEC program does not adequately compensate our nuclear generating stations for their attributes. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated depreciation and amortization or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and additional fundingcase of the ~~NDT Fund~~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. Absent a material financial change, these adverse impacts could still result in PSEG Power taking all necessary steps to retire all of these plants following the end of the initial three year term of the ZECs program. Retirement of these plants would beresult in a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s financial results.

Fossil

In September 2019, PSEG Power completed the sale of its ownership interests in the Keystone and Conemaugh generation plants and related assets and liabilities. PSEG Power recorded a pre-tax loss on disposition of approximately $400 million in the second quarter of 2019 as the sale price was less than book value.

California Solar Facilities

As part of its solar production portfolio, PSEG Power owns and operates two California-based solar facilities with an aggregate capacity of approximately 30 MW direct current whose output is sold to ~~both~~Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) under power purchase agreements (PPAs) with twenty year terms. The net book value of these solar facilities was approximately $56 million as of September 30, 2019. In January 2019, PG&E and its parent company PG&E Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. PSEG ~~and Power. If~~

The Shawville lease amendments, among other things, will allow REMA to express tentative interest in a renewal on or after November 24, 2019, with similar changes to the other milestones in the lease renewal procedures. In addition, REMA has agreed to fund qualifying credit support up to $36 million. Energy Holdings will be required upon resolution of this matter to accelerate and pay approximately $40 million of state deferred tax liabilities and accelerate and pay and/or reduce $85 million of a forecasted federal tax loss to the Internal Revenue Service.contents

Offshore Wind

In June 2019, the BPU selected Ørsted US Offshore Wind’s Ocean Wind project as the winning bid in New Jersey’s initial solicitation for 1,100 MW of offshore wind generation. In connection with the Ocean Wind bid, PSEG agreed to provide energy ~~supply predominately by increasing New Jersey’s reliance~~management services and the potential lease of land for use in project development.

Leveraged Leases

In ~~September~~December 2018, certain subsidiaries of Energy Holdings (PSEG Entities) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with REMA. Pursuant to the RSA, the PSEG Entities have agreed to support the implementation of restructuring and related transactions with respect to REMA’s indebtedness. Such restructuring transactions will be implemented byNRG REMA, ~~on an~~LLC emerged from its in-court ~~basis~~proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. ~~The RSA outlines~~As a ~~plan~~result of ~~reorganization under which, in addition to other terms,~~ the ~~ownership interest in~~restructuring, the ~~leases relating~~remaining deferred tax liabilities related to the Keystone and Conemaugh lease investments were reclassified to current tax liabilities.

Additional facilities in our leveraged lease portfolio include the Shawville, Joliet and Powerton generating facilities. Converted natural gas units such as Shawville and Joliet may have higher operating costs and fuel consumption, as well as longer start-up times, compared to newer combined cycle gas units. Powerton is a coal-fired generating facility in Illinois. Each of these three facilities may not be as economically competitive as newer combined cycle gas units and could continue to be adversely impacted by the same economic conditions experienced by other less efficient natural gas and coal generation facilities, which could require Energy Holdings to write down the residual value of the leveraged lease receivables associated with these facilities.

During the second quarter of 2019, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of estimated residual values embedded in the leveraged leases. The outcome indicated that the updated residual value estimate of the coal-fired Powerton lease was lower than the recorded residual value and the decline was deemed to be other than temporary as a result of expected future adverse market conditions. As a result, a pre-tax write-down of $58 million was reflected in Operating Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, calculated by comparing the gross investment in the leases before and after the revised residual estimates.

Tax Legislation

~~In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (Tax Act), which,~~The Tax Act, among other things, decreased the statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, and made certain changes to the bonus depreciation and interest disallowance rules.

~~As a result of~~In November 2018, the ~~enacted reduction~~IRS issued proposed regulations addressing the interest disallowance rules contained in the ~~statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate, as well as other~~Tax Act. For non-regulated businesses, these rules set a cap on the amount of interest that can be deducted in a given year. Any amount that is disallowed can be carried forward indefinitely. For 2019, PSEG and PSEG Power expect that a portion of their interest will be disallowed in the current period but realized in future periods. However, certain aspects of the ~~Tax Act, in December 2017 PSE&G~~proposed regulations are unclear. Therefore, we recorded ~~excess deferred~~ taxes based on our interpretation of ~~approximately $2.1 billion and~~the relevant statute. Amounts recorded ~~an approximate $2.9 billion revenue impact of these excess deferred taxes as Regulatory Liabilities.~~

Beginning in 2018, PSEG, on a consolidated basis, is incurring lower income tax expense resulting in a decrease in its projected effective income tax rate. This has increased PSEG’s and Power’s net income. To the extent allowed under the Tax Act, ~~Power’s operating cash flows will reflect~~including but not limited to depreciation and interest disallowance, are subject to change based on several factors, including but not limited to, the ~~full expensing of capital investments for income tax purposes. PSEG~~IRS and Power expect that the interest on their debt will continue to be fully tax deductible albeit at a lower tax rate.

The Tax Act is generally expected to result in lower operating cash flows for PSE&G resulting from the elimination of bonus depreciation, partially offset by higher revenues due to the higher rate base.PSEG Power’s financial statements. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 16. Income Taxes.

In ~~August 2018,~~September 2019 the ~~Internal Revenue Service issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice)~~IRS released final and additional proposed regulations regarding the application of tax depreciation rules as amended by the Tax Act. ~~While~~We do not believe the ~~Notice provides some guidance as to the~~final or proposed regulations materially impact our application of the changes made by the Tax Act to the bonus depreciation rules, certain aspects still remain unclear. Until clarity is provided, the amounts recorded for bonus depreciation for 2017 and 2018 remain provisional and are based on a reasonable interpretation of the Notice.

The impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions PSEG has made, guidance that may be issued and actions PSEG may take as a result of the Tax Act. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 15. Income Taxes.

As a result of the enactment of the Tax Act, various state regulatory authorities, including the BPU, have taken action to ensure that excess federal income taxes previously collected in rates are returned to customers. We have made filings to adjust the revenue requirement in certain of our rate matters as a result of the change in the federal income tax rate.

In addition, FERC continues to assess whether, and if so how, it will address changes and flow-backs to customers relating to accumulated deferred income taxes and bonus depreciation. See Item 1. Note 6. Rate Filings for additional information.rules.

In July 2018, the State of New Jersey made ~~significant~~ changes to its income tax laws, including imposing a temporary surtax ~~on allocated corporate taxable income~~ of 2.5% effective January 1, 2018 and 2019 and 1.5% in 2020 and 2021, as well as

table of ~~our BH5 and other generation projects,~~contents

requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. Both provisions include an exemption for public utilities. We believe PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be impacted by the temporary surtax or be included in the combined reporting group. We expect these new provisions to unfavorably affect our non-utility business. In accordance with ~~GAAP~~ accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for income taxes, deferred taxes are required to be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred taxes are expected to settle. The newly enacted New Jersey tax legislation did not have a material impact on PSEG’s deferred income tax balance.

Future Outlook

For more than a century, our mission has been to provide universal access to an around-the-clock supply of reliable, affordable power. Building on this mission, we believe in a future where customers universally use less energy, the energy they use is cleaner, and its delivery is more reliable and more resilient.In July 2019, we announced that we expect to cut carbon emissions at PSEG Power’s generation fleet by 80% by 2046, from 2005 levels. We have also announced our vision of attaining net-zero CO₂emissions by 2050, assuming advances in technology and public policy.

Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to maintain strong operational and financial performance in an environment with low gas prices, to capitalize on or otherwise address ~~appropriately~~ regulatory and legislative developments that impact our business and to respond to the issues and challenges described below. In order to do this, we must continue to:

focus on controlling costs while maintaining safety, reliability and ~~reliability~~customer satisfaction and complying with applicable standards and requirements,

successfully manage our energy obligations and re-contract our open supply positions in response to changes in prices and demand,

obtain approval of and execute our utility capital investment program, including ES II, GSMP II, our CEF program and transmission and other investments ~~for growth~~ that yield contemporaneous and reasonable risk-adjusted returns, while enhancing the resiliency of our infrastructure and maintaining the reliability of the service we provide to our customers,

~~effectively manage construction~~

advocate for the continuation of the ZEC program and measures to ensure the implementation by PJM and FERC of market design and transmission planning rules that continue to promote fair and efficient electricity markets, including recognition of the cost of emissions,

engage multiple stakeholders, including regulators, government officials, customers and investors, and

successfully operate the LIPA T&D system and manage LIPA’s fuel supply and generation dispatch obligations.

In addition to the risks ~~describe~~described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the first and second quarter 2019 10-Qs and in our Form 10-K, for ~~the year ended December 31, 2017, for 2018~~2019 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 and environmental regulation, as well as with respect to the outcome of any legal, regulatory or other proceedings,

~~applying to the BPU to select our New Jersey nuclear generation units to receive payments under the ZEC program,~~

the continuing impacts of the Tax Act and changes in state tax laws, and

the impact of reductions in demand and lower natural gas and electricity prices and increasing environmental compliance costs.

We continually assess a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term stockholder value. In assessing our options, we consider a wide variety of factors, including the performance and prospects of our businesses; the views of investors, regulators, customers and rating agencies; our existing indebtedness and restrictions it imposes; and tax considerations, among other things. Strategic options available to us include:

the acquisition, construction or disposition of T&D facilities, clean energy investments and/or generation projects, ~~in each case~~ including offshore wind opportunities,

the disposition or reorganization of our merchant generation business or other existing businesses or the acquisition or development of new businesses,

the expansion of our geographic footprint, including the operation of T&D facilities outside of our traditional service territory, and

investments in capital improvements and additions, including the installation of environmental upgrades and retrofits, improvements to system resiliency, modernizing existing infrastructure and participation in transmission projects through FERC’s “open window” solicitation process.

~~Power has stopped taking new customers in its retail energy business. Power will continue to meet all of its obligations to our existing customers through the end of their current contracts.~~

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PSEG

Our results of operations are primarily comprised of the results of operations of our principal operating subsidiaries, PSE&G and PSEG Power, excluding charges related to intercompany transactions, which are eliminated in consolidation.

Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 as Compared to ~~2017~~2018

Operating Revenues increased ~~$65~~$9 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.

Delivery Revenues increased $8 million due ~~primarily~~ to


•	Transmission revenues were $32 million higher due to increased 2019 revenue requirements primarily attributable to higher rate base investment.


•	Electric distribution revenues increased $26 million due to a $26 million increase resulting from the favorable impact of the distribution base rate tariff and a $6 million increase in Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC) revenues, partially offset by a $6 million decrease due to lower sales volumes.


•	Gas distribution revenues increased $22 million due primarily to a $19 million increase from the favorable impact of the distribution base rate tariff effective November 2018 and a $2 million increase in revenues from GSMP I.


•	Gas, Electric and Transmission revenue requirements were reduced by $72 million due to the flowback of excess deferred tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income tax benefits as a result of settlements with the BPU and FERC. This reduction is offset in Income Tax Expense.

~~Transmission, electric distribution and gas distribution revenue requirements were $78~~Commodity Revenues decreased$23 million ~~lower~~ as a result of ~~rate reductions due to the Tax Act which reduced the corporate income tax rate. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense.~~

~~Gas distribution~~lower Electric revenues, ~~decreased $1 million due primarily to a $2 million decrease from lower sales volumes and a $1 million decrease from ES I investments, partially~~partly offset by ~~a $2 million increase from the inclusion of the GSMP I in base rates.~~

~~Electric distribution revenues increased $45 million due to $33 million in~~ higher ~~sales volumes, a $10 million increase from higher ES I investments in base rates and higher Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC) of $2 million.~~

~~Transmission revenues were $42 million higher due to revenue requirements calculated through our transmission formula rate, primarily to recover increased investments.~~

~~Commodity Revenues~~ ~~increased $50 million as a result of higher Electric and~~ Gas revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both electric and gas are entirely offset by ~~the~~ changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of BGS and basic gas supply service (BGSS) to retail customers.


•	Electric commodity revenues decreased$26 million due primarily to a $205 million decrease in BGS prices, partially offset by $178 million in higher sales volumes.


•	Gas commodity revenues increased$3 million due primarily to higher BGSS prices.

Clause Revenuesdecreased$31 million due primarily to $22 million of lower Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC) deferrals, a $5 million reduction in GPRC deferrals and lower Societal Benefit Charge (SBC) revenues of $3 million. The changes in TAC and GPRC deferrals 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 and Interest Expenses. PSE&G does not earn margin on TAC or GPRC deferrals or on SBC revenues.

Other Operating Revenues increased$55 million due primarily to ZEC revenues billed after the ZEC program was approved by the BPU in April 2019. See Item 1. Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. These revenues are entirely offset by changes to Energy Costs.

Operating Expenses

Energy Costs increased $25 million. This is entirely offset by changes in Commodity Revenues and Other Operating Revenues.

Operation and Maintenance decreased $1 million due primarily to a $5 million reduction in distribution preventative and corrective maintenance expenditures, a $3 million reduction in transmission expenditures, a $3 million decrease in injuries and damages and a $5 million net reduction in other operating expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a net $11 millionincrease in clause and renewable-related expenditures and a $5 million increase in storm costs.

Depreciation and Amortization increased $14 million due primarily to additional plant and software placed into service.

Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs) increased $32 million due primarily toa $26 million increase in the amortization of the prior service credit mainly related to the December 2018 OPEB plan amendment, a $4 million decrease in interest cost and a $3 million decrease in the amortization of the net unrecognized loss, partially offset by a reduction of $2 million in the long-term expected return on plan assets.

Interest Expense increased $9 million due primarily to increases of $7 million from net debt issuances in the second and third quarters of 2019 and $2 million from net debt issuances in 2018.

Income Tax Expense decreased $71 million due primarily to the flowback to ratepayers of excess deferred income tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income taxes.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 as Compared to 2018

Operating Revenues increased $192 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.

Delivery Revenues decreased $30 million due primarily to

Gas, Electric and Transmission revenue requirements were reduced by $277 million due to the flowback of excess deferred tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income tax benefits as a result of settlements with the BPU and FERC. This reduction is offset in Income Tax Expense.

Gas distribution revenues increased $92 million due primarily to an $89 million increase from the favorable impact of the distribution base rate tariff effective November 2018.

Transmission revenues were $90 million higher due to increased 2019 revenue requirements primarily attributable to higher rate base investment.

Electric distribution revenues increased $65 million due to a $67 million increase resulting from the favorable impact of the distribution base rate tariff and a $14 million increase in GPRC revenues. These increases were partially offset by a $16 million decrease due to lower sales volumes.

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 expect our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities to be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and shareholder dividend payments.

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019, our operating cash flow ~~decreased~~increased$~~241~~217 million as compared to the same period in ~~2017.~~2018. The net ~~change was~~changes were primarily due ~~primarily~~ to the net ~~change~~changes from ~~Power~~our subsidiaries as discussed ~~below.~~below, partially offset by tax payments at PSEG and its other subsidiaries in 2019 compared to tax refunds in 2018.

PSE&G

PSE&G’s operating cash flow increased$584 million from ~~$1,392 million~~ to $1,397 million to $1,481 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019, as compared to the same period in ~~2017~~2018, due primarily to tax refunds in 2019 as compared to tax payments in 2018, and an increase of ~~$86~~$89 million ~~due to~~from a change in regulatory deferrals, ~~higher earnings, and an increase of $48 million due primarily to a reduction in unbilled revenues resulting from lower prices and volumes in 2018,~~partially offset by a ~~tax refund~~decrease of $79 million relating to a lower reduction in ~~2017.~~accounts receivable and unbilled revenues in 2019, and $70 million in increased vendor payments.

PSEG Power

PSEG Power’s operating cash flow ~~decreased$244~~increased $357 million from ~~$1,249~~$1,005 million to ~~$1,005~~$1,362 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~,2019, as compared to the same period in ~~2017,~~2018, due to ~~an increase~~a $378 million higher reduction in margin deposit requirements, ~~of $141 million,~~ and ~~higher generation costs, offset by lower~~tax refunds in 2019 compared to tax payments in 2018, ~~compared to 2017, a $23 million~~partially offset by an increase ~~from net collections~~ of ~~counterparty receivables, and a decrease of $10~~$40 million in payments to counterparties.

Short-Term Liquidity

We continually monitor our liquidity and seek to add capacity as needed to meet our liquidity requirements. 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.

Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 were as follows:

PSEG Power	2,100		176		1,924
Total	$	4,200	$	551	$	3,649

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, our credit facility capacity was in excess of our projected maximum liquidity requirements over our 12 month planning horizon. Our maximum liquidity requirements are based on stress scenarios that incorporate 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 three level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s 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 ~~$888~~$872 million and ~~$848~~$857 million as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

For additional information, see Item 1. Note ~~11.~~12. Debt and Credit Facilities.

Long-Term Debt Financing

During the next twelve months,, PSEG has ~~a $700 million floating rate term loan maturing in June 2019, PSE&G has $250~~$400 million of ~~1.80% Medium-Term Notes maturing in June 2019 and $250 million of 2.00% Medium-Term Notes maturing in August 2019 and Power has $250 million of 2.45%~~1.60% Senior Notes maturing in November ~~2018.~~2019. PSE&G has $250 million of 3.50% Medium Term Notes maturing in August 2020 and PSEG Power has $406 million of 5.13% Senior Notes maturing in April 2020.

For additional information see Item 1. Note ~~11.~~12. Debt and Credit Facilities.

Common Stock Dividends

On July ~~17, 2018,~~16, 2019, our Board of Directors ~~approved~~declared a ~~$0.45~~$0.47 dividend per share of common stock for the third quarter of ~~2018. These declarations reflect~~2019. This reflects an indicative annual dividend rate of ~~$1.80~~$1.88 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. ~~Note17.~~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 Issuer Credit Ratings (Moody’s) and Corporate Credit Ratings (S&P) ~~and Issuer Credit Ratings (Moody’s)~~ 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.

(B)	S&P ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) for long-term securities and A1 (highest) to D (lowest) for short-term securities.

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 ~~2017~~ Form ~~10-K other than the inclusion of GSMP II, which was approved in May 2018.~~10-K. See Executive Overview of ~~2018~~2019 and Future Outlook for additional information.

PSE&G

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, PSE&G made capital expenditures of ~~$2,228~~$1,866 million, primarily for T&D system reliability. This does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of ~~$121~~$87 million, which are included in operating cash flows.

PSEG Power

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, PSEG Power made capital expenditures of ~~$679~~$406 million, excluding $~~121~~101 million for nuclear fuel, primarily related to our ~~Keys, Sewaren 7,~~ BH5 and other generation projects.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

For information related to recent accounting matters, see Item 1. Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.


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.~~Notes. 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 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 July through September ~~2018,~~2019, MTM VaR was relatively stable between a low of $6$10 million and a high of ~~$11~~$26 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrower for the three months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 as compared with the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power

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, PSE&G and PSEG Power. The committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The CFO and CEO of each of PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power 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, PSE&G and PSEG Power

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of ~~2018~~2019 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 ~~2017 Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K, see Part I, Item 1. Note ~~10.~~11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities and Item 5. Other ~~Information.~~Information in the first and second quarter 2019 10-Qs and in this Quarterly Form 10-Q.


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 ~~2017 Annual Report on~~ 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. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced ~~filings~~filing as of September 30, ~~2018.~~2019.


ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In December ~~2017,~~2018, we entered into a share repurchase plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act, ~~of 1934,~~ as amended, solely with respect to the repurchase of shares to satisfy obligations under equity compensation awards that are expected to vest or be exercised in ~~2018 and under PSEG’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan for expected employee purchases in 2018.~~2019. There were no common share repurchases in the open market during the third quarter of ~~2018~~.2019.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Certain information reported in the ~~2017 Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K is updated below. Additionally, certain information is provided for new matters that have arisen subsequent to the filing of the ~~2017 Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K and ~~the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018~~first and ~~June 30, 2018.~~second quarter 2019 10-Qs.

In ~~June 2018,~~April 2019, FERC issued an order ~~finding~~directing PJM and New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) to change their rules governing pricing for fast-start resources. In its Order FERC found that ~~PJM’s~~ current ~~capacity market is~~fast-start pricing practices are unjust and unreasonable because they do not allow prices to reflect the marginal cost of serving load. FERC required PJM and ~~established a~~NYISO to make various changes to their respective tariffs to allow the start-up costs of fast-start resources to be reflected in prices, among other things. In August 2019, PJM stated that new ~~proceeding to address an alternative approach in which PJM would: (1) modify PJM’s Minimum Offer Price Rule so that it~~tariff provisions would apply fast-start pricing to all eligible fast-start resources; however, the new ~~and existing resources that receive out-of-market payments, regardless of resource type; and (2) establish~~rules would not be implemented until FERC issues an ~~option that would allow, on a resource-specific basis, resources receiving out-of-market support~~order approving them. We will continue to be removed from the PJM capacity market, along with a commensurate amount of load, for some period of time. In response, PJM proposed a two-settlement auction mechanism in which the first stage would set the resource commitment and the second stage would establish the clearing price. During the second stage, the resources receiving out-of-market support would be removed from the auction before the price is established. We generally support PJM’s proposal, but have some concerns about aspects of it that could reduce payments to nuclear units that receive out-of-market support payments. FERC’s potential actionparticipate in this ~~proceeding could cause nuclear units that receive ZEC payments to lose capacity market revenues if states do not take steps to address~~process before FERC.

~~Transmission Regulation~~-~~Transmission Policy Developments~~

~~March~~December 31, 2018 Form 10-K page 21 and June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q on page ~~80.~~ 89. In February 2018, FERC issued an order finding that the transmission planning procedures used by the PJM transmission owners, a group that includes PSE&G, for supplemental projects do not adhere to the coordination and transparency principles of FERC’s Order No. 890. FERC determined that certain terms and conditions in the PJM governing documents are unjust and unreasonable. FERC directed PJM and the PJM transmission owners to submit certain revisions to the manner in which the stakeholder process for supplemental projects is conducted. PSE&G participated in the PJM transmission owners’ compliance filing, which was approved by FERC.

~~Transmission Regulation~~—~~Return on Equity (ROE)~~

In October 2018, FERC issued an order establishing a new framework for determining whether a company’s ROE is unjust and unreasonable. The order was issued in a proceeding that was remanded to FERC from D.C. Circuit concerning the establishment of the New England Transmission Owners’ ROE. FERC’s order proposes a new method for evaluating whether an existing ROE remains just and reasonable. Under FERC’s approach, FERC will determine a composite zone of reasonableness based on the results of three financial models, and if the targeted utility’s existing ROE falls within the range of just and reasonable ROEs for its risk profile, FERC will dismiss the complaint. However, if FERC determines that an existing ROE is unjust and unreasonable, it proposes to rely on four financial models: a discounted cash flow, a risk premium analysis, a capital-asset pricing model analysis and an expected earnings analysis. We are still analyzing the potential impact of these methodologies and cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
