PSEG POWER ANNOUNCES EXCHANGE OFFER

(August 10, 2009—Newark, NJ) – PSEG Power LLC (“PSEG Power”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (NYSE: PEG), announced today that it has commenced an offer to eligible holders to exchange any and all of the outstanding 8.50% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Energy Holdings notes”) of its affiliate, PSEG Energy Holdings, L.L.C. (“Energy Holdings”), held by them for newly-issued PSEG Power Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Power notes”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PSEG Power’s three principal operating subsidiaries (the “subsidiary guarantees”), plus a cash payment plus a cash early participation payment, if eligible, in each case, as further described below.

The complete terms and conditions of the exchange offer are set forth in a confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated August 10, 2009 and the related letter of transmittal and consent. The following is a brief summary of certain key elements of the exchange offer:

• The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on September 4, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “expiration date”).

• The “total exchange consideration” will be, for each $1,000 principal amount of Energy Holdings notes tendered and accepted, $1,070.00 of consideration comprised of:

P $802.50 principal amount of Power notes, plus

P a cash payment equal to $237.50, plus

P a cash “early participation payment” equal to $30.00.

• Eligible holders who validly tender and who do not validly withdraw Energy Holdings notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 20, 2009, unless extended (the “early participation payment date”), and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by PSEG Power, will receive the total exchange consideration.

• Eligible holders who validly tender Energy Holdings notes after the early participation date but at or prior to the expiration date, and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by PSEG Power, will receive the total exchange consideration minus the early participation payment.

• Tenders of Energy Holdings notes in the exchange offer may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the early participation date provided that PSEG Power may extend the early participation date without extending the deadline by which Energy Holdings notes tendered in the Exchange Offer may be validly withdrawn, unless required by law. Energy Holdings notes tendered after the early participation date

may not be withdrawn, except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by PSEG Power in its sole discretion).

• Consummation of the exchange offer is subject to a number of conditions, including the absence of certain adverse legal and market developments and the receipt of sufficient consents to adopt the amendments to the indenture under which the Energy Holdings Notes were issued as described below.

• The Power notes will mature on September 15, 2016 and will bear interest at a fixed annual rate, which will be determined at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2009.

• Neither PSEG Power nor Energy Holdings will receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

If and when issued, the Power notes and the subsidiary guarantees will not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws. The Power notes and subsidiary guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. PSEG Power will enter into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Power notes.

The exchange offer is only made, and copies of the exchange offer documents will only be made available, to a holder of Energy Holdings notes who has certified in an eligibility letter certain matters to PSEG Power, including its status as a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 or that it is a person other than a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act of 1933.

Eligible holders who exchange their Energy Holdings notes for Power notes will be deemed to have consented to the adoption of certain amendments to the indenture under which the Energy Holdings notes were issued, as described in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement. The consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Energy Holdings notes is required to adopt the proposed amendments.

This press release does not constitute an offer or an invitation by PSEG Power to participate in the exchange offer in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
