Basis of Presentation
The financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes) should be read in conjunction with, and update and supplement matters discussed in, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards
New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This accounting standard clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and removes inconsistencies in revenue recognition requirements; improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets; and provides improved disclosures.
The guidance provides a five-step model to be used for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
The standard was originally to beis effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance deferring the effective date by one year to periods beginning after December 31, 2017. Early application will be permitted asis permitted. PSEG expects the new guidance to result in more detailed disclosures of the original effective date.revenue compared to current guidance, and possible changes in presentation. PSEG is currently analyzing the impactcontinues to evaluate all of this standard on its financial statementsrevenue streams and disclosures as well as the transition method to use to adopt the guidance. PSEG is considering the impacts of outstanding industry relatedits contracts. Certain implementation issues are currently being addressedfinalized by the AICPA’s Revenue Recognition Working Group and the FASB’s Transition Resource Group, including itsthe ability to recognize revenue for certain contracts where there is uncertainty regarding
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents


certain contracts where there is uncertainty regarding collection bundled price sales contractsfrom customers and accounting for contributions in aid of construction. Upon formal resolution of the implementation issues noted above, PSEG will elect its transition method.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
This accounting standard will change how entities measure equity investments that are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. Under the new guidance, equity investments (other than those accounted for using the equity method) will be measured at fair value through Net Income instead of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Entities that have elected the fair value option for financial liabilities will present changes in fair value due to a change in their own credit risk through Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). For equity investments which do not have readily determinable fair values, the impairment assessment will be simplified by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairments. The new standard also changes certain disclosures.
The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on ourits financial statements; however, PSEG expects increased volatility in Net Income due to changes in fair value of ourits equity securities within the Nuclear Decommissioning Trustnuclear decommissioning (NDT) and Rabbi Trust Funds.
Leases
This accounting standard replaces existing lease accounting guidance and requires 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 lessor will classify its leases as operating or 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 additional disclosure of key information. The standard requires lessees and lessors to apply 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. However, existing guidance related to leveraged leases will not change.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with retrospective application to previously issued financial statements for 2018 and 2017. Early application is permitted. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Stock Compensation-Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
This accounting standard was issued to simplify aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.
Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recognized in income tax expense rather than recognized in additional paid in capital. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity rather than a financing activity as currently classified. In addition, the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements were simplified in order to facilitate equity classification of the award.
The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period; however, the amendments within this update require different adoption methods. PSEG is evaluating early adoption of the standard in the fourth quarter of 2016; however, PSEG does not expect adoption to materially affect its financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
This accounting standard provides a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost. 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 securities should 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 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 the annual or interim periods after December 15, 2018. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
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.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, entities may adopt early, including in an interim period. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash
This accounting standard requires entities to explain the change during the period in the total of cash and cash equivalents and include amounts described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in their reconciliation of beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts in the Statement of Cash Flows.

The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, entities may adopt early, including in an interim period. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements including its future disclosure requirements.
Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business
This accounting standard was issued mainly to provide more consistency in how the definition of a business is applied to acquisitions or dispositions. The new guidance will generally reduce the number of transactions that will require treatment as a business combination. The definition of a business now includes a filter that would consider whether substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this condition is met, the transaction would not qualify as a business.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, entities may adopt it for transactions that have closed before the effective date but have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. PSEG does not have any current transactions impacted by this guidance and expects future acquisitions of individual solar plants will not qualify as business combinations. PSEG does not expect this guidance to materially impact its financial statements upon adoption.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
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 standard on a prospective basis and 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 is currently assessing the impact of this guidance upon its financial statements.
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (OPEB)
This accounting standard was issued to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic OPEB cost.
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 will be eligible for capitalization, when applicable.
The standard requires the amendments to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other cost components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic OPEB cost in the Statement of Operations and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB costs.
The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
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 of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply this standard on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle.
PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Note 3. Early Plant Retirements
OnFossil
In October 3, 2016, Power determined that it willwould cease generation operations of the existing coal/gas units at the Hudson and Mercer generating stations on June 1, 2017. Power has filed deactivation notices with PJM for these existing units at both stations and final must-offer exception requests for the 2020-2021 PJM capacity auction to the PJM Independent Market Monitor. Power expects the units to continue to be available to generate electricity and receive previously cleared capacity payments through the date the units cease operations. The exact timing of the early retirement of these units will be reviewed for reliability impacts by PJM, the regional transmission organization that controls the area where these units are located, and may be impacted by operational and other conditions that could subsequently arise. 
PSEG and Power undertake their annual five year strategic planning process primarily during the third and fourth quarters of each year. The primary factors considered during this process that contributed to the decision to retire these units early include significant declines in revenues and margin caused by a sustained period of depressed wholesale power prices and reduced capacity factors caused by lower natural gas prices making coal generation less economically competitive than natural gas-fired generation. Despite experiencing recent warmer than normal weather in PJM this summer, Power did not experience the usual increase in electricity prices in PJM as it had in past hot summers. This trend has a further adverse economic impact to these units because they generally dispatch and earn energy margin on peak hot and cold days. In addition, the upcoming PJM capacity auction in May 2017 for the capacity period from June 2020 to May 2021 will be the first to require all generating units to meet the increased operating performance standards of PJM’s new capacity performance regulations. During the current annual five-year strategic planning process, Power determined, on October 3, 2016, that the costs to upgrade the existing units at the Hudson and Mercer stations to comply with these higher reliability standards to be too significant and not economic given current market conditions, including anticipated future capacity prices, current forward energy prices and past operational performance results of the units. While these units have the capability to run on both coal and natural gas, they have higher operating costs and fuel consumption as well as longer start-up times compared to newer combined cycle gas units.
The decision to retire the Hudson and Mercer units early will have a material effect on PSEG’s and Power’s results of operations. In the third quarterlatter half of 2016, PSEG and Power recognized the following one-time pre-tax charges in Energy Costs and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of $62 million and Depreciation expense:

$53 million, respectively, related to coal inventory adjustments, capacity penalties, materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments for parts that cannot be used at other generating units, employee-related severance benefits costs and construction work in progress impairments, among other shut down items. In addition to these one-time charges, Power will recognize incrementalrecognized Depreciation and Amortization (D&A) during the remainder of 2016 of $568$571 million and $946 million into 2017 due to the significant shortening of the expected economic useful lives of Hudson and Mercer.

Power also be incurred during the period prior to retirement. Finally,recognized pre-tax charges in Energy Costs of $7 million primarily for coal inventory lower of cost or market adjustments. Power currently anticipates using the sites for alternative industrial activity. However, if Power determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early retirement of the units at thesesuch sites would trigger investigation andobligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation of identified environmental contamination.remediation. The amounts for any such environmental investigation or remediation are neither currently probable nor estimable but may be material.
PSEG andAs of December 31, 2016, Power evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as significant adverse changes in regulation, business climate or market conditions, including a current expectation that a long-lived asset will be sold or disposed of significantly beforehad reduced the end of its previously estimated useful life could potentially indicate an asset’s or asset group’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. In such an event, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine if an impairment exists. When a long-lived asset’s or asset group’s carrying amount exceeds the associated undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the asset/asset group is considered impairedof Bridgeport Harbor Station unit 3 (BH3) from 2025 to the extent that its fair value is lesssummer of 2021 as it was more likely than its carrying amount. As disclosed for Power, cash flows for long-lived assets and asset groups are determined atnot it will retire the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent ofunit by this time. The change in the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The cash flows from the generation units are generally evaluated at a regional portfolio level (PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE) along with cash flows generated from the customer supply and risk management activities, inclusive of cash flows from contracts, including those that are accounted for as derivatives or that meet the normal purchases and normal sales exemption. An impairment would result in a reduction of the value of the long-lived asset/asset group through a noncash charge to earnings.
Because the Hudson and Mercer generating units will cease operations significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful lives, Power performedlife is not expected to have a recoverability test for its portfolio of generating assets in the PJM region to determine if an impairment exists. As of September 30, 2016, the estimated undiscountedmaterial impact on Power’s future cash flows of the PJM asset group exceeded the carrying amount and no impairment was identified.financial results.
In addition, PSEG and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone Conemaugh and Bridgeport HarborConemaugh generating stations, to ensureassess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives.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 otherremaining coal units before the end of their current estimated useful lives 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. This situation is generally due to low natural gas prices, and the related decline in market prices of energy, resulting from the growth of shale gas production since 2007, the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities and both federal and state-level policies that provide financial incentives to renewable energy such as wind and solar, but generally do not apply to nuclear generating stations. 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 shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet and greater reliance on natural gas pipelines for fuel delivery.
If trends noted above continue or worsen, Power’s nuclear generating units could cease being economically competitive which may cause Power to retire such units prior to the end of their useful lives. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated D&A or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs, and additional funding of the NDT Fund will likely have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results. PSEG and Power continue to advocate for sound policies that recognize nuclear power as a source of reliable and clean energy and an important part of a diverse and reliable energy portfolio.

The precise timing of any potential early retirement and resulting financial statement impact may be affected by a number of factors, including co-owner considerations, the results of any transmission system reliability study assessments and decommissioning trust fund requirements and other commitments, as well as future energy prices. Power maintains a NDT Fund that funds its decommissioning obligations. See Note 7. Available-for-Sale Securities.

Note 4. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
VIEs for which PSE&G is the Primary Beneficiary
PSE&G is the primary beneficiary and consolidates two marginally capitalized VIEs, PSE&G Transition Funding LLC (Transition Funding) and PSE&G Transition Funding II LLC (Transition Funding II), which were created for the purpose of issuing transition bonds and purchasing bond transitional property of PSE&G, which was pledged as collateral to a trustee. PSE&G acted as the servicer for these entities to collect securitization transition charges authorized by the BPU. These funds were remitted to Transition Funding and Transition Funding II and were used for interest and principal payments on the transition bonds and related costs. During 2015, Transition Funding and Transition Funding II paid their final securitization bond payments and as of December 31, 2015, no further debt or related costs remained with these VIEs. Effective January 1, 2016, PSE&G commenced refunding the overcollections from customers associated with these VIEs and expects to fully refund these liabilities in 2016.Entity (VIE)
VIE for which PSEG LI is the Primary Beneficiary
PSEG LI consolidates Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco), a marginally capitalized VIE, which was created for the purpose of operating LIPA’s T&D system in Long Island, New York as well as providing administrative support functions to LIPA. PSEG LI is the primary beneficiary of Servco because it directs the operations of Servco, the activity that most significantly impacts Servco’s economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of Servco that could potentially be significant to Servco. Such losses would be immaterial to PSEG.
Pursuant to the OSA, Servco’s operating costs are 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, such as transactions with its employees for labor and labor-related activities, including pension and OPEB-related transactions, Servco records revenues and the related pass-through expenditures separately in Operating Revenues and Operation and Maintenance (O&M)O&M Expense, respectively. Servco recorded $116$112 million and $96$98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $315 million and $262 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, 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 5. Rate Filings
This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 5.6. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016.
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:
Transmission Formula Rate Filings—In June 2016, PSE&G filed its 2015 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for 2015. This resulted in an adjustment of $34 million less than the 2015 originally filed revenues primarily due to the impact of bonus depreciation legislation enacted after PSE&G filed its 2015 formula rate requirement in October 2014. PSE&G had recognized the majority of this adjustment in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.
In October 2016, the 2017 Annual Formula Rate Update was filed with FERC and requests approximately $121 million in increased annual transmission revenues effective January 1, 2017, subject to true-up.
Energy Strong Recovery Filing—In March and September of each year, PSE&G files with the BPU for base rate recovery of Energy Strong investments which include a return of and on its investment. In June 2016, PSE&G updated its March cost recovery petition to include Energy Strong investments in service as of May 31, 2016 which represents estimated annual increases in electric and gas revenues of $16 million and $23 million, respectively. In August 2016, the BPU approved these rate increases effective September 1, 2016.
In September 2016,2017, PSE&G filed its Energy Strong electric and gas cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover the revenue requirements associated with Energy Strong capitalized investment costs placedassociated with electric and gas plant investments under the program that is anticipated to be in service from June 1, 2016 through November 30, 2016.by May 31, 2017. The petition requests rates to be effective MarchSeptember 1, 2017, consistent with the BPU Order of approval of the Energy Strong Program. The annualized requested increase in electric revenue requirement is approximately $15 million.$22 million for electric and $3 million for gas. This matter is pending.
Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS)—In June 2016, PSE&G made its annual BGSS filing with the BPU requesting a reduction of $87 million in annual BGSS revenues. In September 2016, the BPU approved a Stipulation in this matter on a provisional basis and the BGSS rate was reduced from approximately 40 cents to 34 cents per therm effective October 1, 2016. The rate is subject to final settlement.
Weather Normalization Clause—On July 1, 2016, PSE&G filed a petition requesting approval to collect $54 million in net deficiency gas revenues as a result of the warmer than normal 2015-2016 Winter Period. The deficiency gas revenues would be collected from customers over the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 Winter Periods (October 1 through May 31). In September 2016, the BPU approved PSE&G’s filing on a provisional basis with respect to the $54 million in deficiency revenues to be collected from customers effective October 1, 2016.

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 partythird-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 on its investments 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 third quarter of 2016, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of estimated residual values embedded in the
NRG REMA, LLC (REMA) leveraged leases. The outcome indicated that the revised residual value estimates were lower than
the recorded residual values and the decline was deemed to be other than temporary due to the adverse economic conditions
experienced by coal generation in PJM, as discussed in Note 3. Early Plant Retirements, negatively impacting the economic

quarter ended September 30, 2016, calculated by comparing the gross investment in the leases before and after the revised residual estimates. During the fourth quarter of 2016, Energy Holdings recorded a $10 million pre-tax charge for its best estimate of loss related to the leveraged leases as a result of the current liquidity issues facing REMA, which was reflected in Operating Revenues and is included in Gross Investments in Leases as of December 31, 2016.

(B)(A)On May 24,REMA’s parent company, GenOn Energy Inc. (GenOn), reported in August 2016 that GenOn did not expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay its senior unsecured notes due in June 2017. In January 2017, S&P further lowered its corporate credit rating on REMA’s parent company, GenOn Energy Inc. (GenOn) and its affiliates (including REMA) to “CCC-” from “CCC” from “CCC+” due toreflecting the primary credit concern of the near-term maturity of GenOn’s senior unsecured notes in June 2017 and expressed a weaker forward power curve, milder weather patterns and weakeningnegative outlook reflecting the continuing pressure on financial measures. OnIn October 7, 2016, Moody’s downgraded the GenOn Corporate Family Rating to Caa3“Caa3” to reflect its high debt burden relative to cash flow. GenOn reported in August 2016 that it did not expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay the senior unsecured notes due in June 2017.
The credit exposure for lessors is partially mitigated through various credit enhancement mechanisms within the lease transactions.structures. These credit enhancement features vary from lease to lease and may include letters of credit or affiliate guarantees. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults, indirect subsidiary companies of Energy Holdings would exercise their rights and attempt to 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 investments and trigger certain material tax obligations which could wholly or partially be mitigated by tax indemnification claims withagainst 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. Although all lease payments are current, PSEG cannot predict the outcome of GenOn’s efforts to restructure its portfolio and improve its liquidity and the possible related impact on REMA. PSEG continues to monitor any changes to REMA’s and GenOn’s status and potential impacts on Energy Holdings’ lease investments. If lease rejections or foreclosures were to occur, Energy Holdings could potentially record aadditional pre-tax write-offwrite-offs up to its gross investment in these facilities and may also be required to pay significantmaterial cash tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service.
Although all lease payments are current, no assurances can be givenAdditional factors that future payments in accordance with the lease contracts will continue. Factors which 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.

The cost of these securities was determined on the basis of specific identification.
Power periodically assesses individual securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For equity securities, management considers the ability and intent to hold for a reasonable time to permit recovery in addition to the severity and duration of the loss. For fixed income 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). For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016, other-than-temporary impairmentsMarch 31, 2017, Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (OTTI) of $251 million were recognized on securities in the NDT Fund. 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.

The cost of these securities was determined on the basis of specific identification.
PSEG periodically assesses individual securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For equity securities, the Rabbi Trust is invested in a commingled indexed mutual fund. Due to the commingled nature of this fund, PSEG does not have the ability to hold these securities until expected recovery. As a result, any declines in fair market value below cost are recorded as a charge to earnings. For fixed income 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). For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, no other-than-temporary impairmentsOTTIs were recognized on securities in the Rabbi Trust. 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.

Note 8. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB)
PSEG sponsors several qualified and nonqualified pension plans and OPEB plans covering PSEG’s and its participating affiliates’ current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria.
Effective January 1,As of December 31, 2016, PSEG changed the approach used to measure future service and interest costs formerged its three qualified defined benefit pension benefits. For 2015 and prior, PSEG calculated service and interest costs utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure theplans (excluding Servco plans) into one plan, obligations. For 2016 and beyond, PSEG has elected to calculate service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along that yield curve to the plans’ liability cash flows. PSEG believes the new approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timingthereby also merging all of the pension plans’ liability cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. This change does not affect the measurement of the plan obligations.assets. As a change in accounting estimate, this change is being reflected prospectively. Pension and OPEBresult, as of March 31, 2017, the total net periodic benefit costs decreased by approximately $12 million, net of amounts capitalized, were reduced by $9 million and $3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $26 million and $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the 20162017 amounts that would have been derived from applying PSEG’s 2015recognized had the plans not been merged. This is due to the amortization period for gains and prior years’ methodology.

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 4. Variable Interest Entities.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 benefit 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 has contributed its entire planned contribution of $28plans to contribute $35 million into its pension plan trusts during 2016.2017.

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.
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 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 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, Power would owe money to the counterparties).
Power believes the probability of this result is unlikely. For this reason, 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.
Power is subject to
counterparty collateral calls related to commodity contracts, and
certain creditworthiness standards as guarantor under performance guarantees of its subsidiaries.
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. 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, Power has also provided payment guarantees to third parties on behalf of its affiliated companies. These guarantees support various other non-commodity related contractual obligations.

As part of determining credit exposure, Power nets receivables and payables with the corresponding net energy contract balances. See Note 11. 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 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 Power had posted letters of credit to support Power’s various other non-energy contractual and environmental obligations. See preceding table. PSEG also issued a $106 million guarantee to support Power’s payment obligations related to its equity interest in the PennEast natural gas pipeline and a $21 million guarantee to support Power’s payment obligations related to construction of a 755 MW gas-fired combined cycle generating station in Maryland. As previously announced, Power is currently in the process of selling its minority equity interest in PennEast and upon disposition, PSEG’s $106 million guarantee would terminate. In the event that PSEG were to be downgraded to below investment grade and failed to meet minimum net worth requirements, these guarantees would each have to be replaced by a letter of credit.

Environmental Matters
Passaic River
Historic operations of PSEG companies and the operations of hundreds of other companies along the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers are alleged by Federal and State agencies to have discharged substantial contamination into the Passaic River/Newark Bay Complex in violation of various statutes as discussed as follows.
Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA)
In 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that a 17-mile stretch of the lower Passaic River from Newark to Clifton, New Jersey is a “Superfund” site under CERCLA. This designation allows the EPA to clean up such sites and to compel responsible parties to perform cleanups or reimburse the government for cleanups led by the EPA.
The EPA determined that there was a need to perform a comprehensive study of the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River. 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 was transferred to Power, one former generating station and four former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites.
In early 2007, 73 Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), including PSE&G and Power, formed a Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and agreed to assume responsibility for conducting a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) of the 17
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

miles of the lower Passaic River. At such time, the CPG also agreed to allocate, 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 interim allocation, which has been revised as parties have exited the CPG, approximately seven percent of the RI/FS costs are currently deemed attributable to PSE&G’s former MGP sites and approximately one 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 17 miles of the lower Passaic River. PSEG has provided notice to insurers concerning this potential claim.
In June 2008, the EPA and Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) and Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus) entered into an early action agreement whereby Tierra/Maxus agreed to remove a portion of the heavily dioxin-contaminated sediment located in the lower Passaic River. The portion of the Passaic River identified in this agreement was located immediately adjacent to Tierra/Maxus’ predecessor company’s (Diamond Shamrock) facility. Pursuant to the agreement between the EPA and Tierra/Maxus, the estimated cost for the work to remove the sediment in this location was $80 million. Phase I of the removal work has been completed. Pursuant to this agreement, Tierra/Maxus have reserved their rights to seek contribution for these removal costs from the other PRPs, including Power and PSE&G.
In 2012, Tierra/Maxus withdrew from the CPG and refused to participate as members going forward, other than with respect to their obligation to fund the EPA’s portion of its RI/FS oversight costs. At such time, the remaining members of the CPG, in agreement with the EPA, commenced the removal of certain contaminated sediments at Passaic River Mile 10.9 at an estimated cost of $25 million to $30 million. Construction is complete. The CPG is awaiting EPA approval of the construction report, long-term monitoring plan and confirmatory sampling plan. PSE&G’s and Power’s combined share of the cost of that effort is approximately three percent. The remaining CPG members, PSE&G and Power included, have reserved their rights to seek reimbursement from Tierra/Maxus for the costs of the River Mile 10.9 removal.
On April 11, 2014, the EPA released its revised draft “Focused Feasibility Study” (FFS) which contemplatedcontemplates the removal of 4.3 million cubic yards of sediment from the bottom of the lower eight miles of the 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River. The revised draft FFS setsets forth various alternatives for remediating this portion of the Passaic River.
The CPG, which consisted of 52 members as of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, provided a draft RI and draft FS, both relating to the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River, to the EPA on February 18, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively. The estimated total cost for the preparation of the RI/FS is approximately $167$190 million, which the CPG continues to incur. Of the estimated $167$190 million, as of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the CPG had spent approximately $156$160 million, of which PSE&G’s and Power’s combinedPSEG’s total share was approximately $10$11 million.
The CPG’s draft FS set forth various alternatives for remediating the lower Passaic River. It set forth the CPG’s estimated costs to remediate the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River which range from approximately $518 million to $3.2 billion on an undiscounted basis. The CPG identified a targeted remedy in the draft FS which would involve removal, treatment and disposal of contaminated sediments taken from targeted locations within the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River. The estimated cost in the draft FS for the targeted remedy ranged from approximately $518 million to $772 million. Based on (i) the low end of the range of the current estimates of costs to remediate, (ii) PSE&G’s and Power’s estimated share of those costs, and (iii) the continued ability of PSE&G to recover such costs in its rates, PSE&G accrued a $10 million Environmental Costs Liability and a corresponding Regulatory Asset and Power accrued a $3 million Other Noncurrent Liability and a corresponding O&M Expense in the first quarter of 2015.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


In March 2016, the EPA released its Record of Decision (ROD) for the FFS which requires the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Passaic River’s lower 8.3 miles at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion on an undiscounted basis (ROD Remedy). The ROD Remedy requires a bank-to-bank dredge ranging from approximately 5 to 30 feet deep in the federal navigation channel from River Mile 0 to River Mile 1.7 and an approximately 2.5 foot deep dredge everywhere else in the lower 8.3 miles of the river. An engineered cap approximately two feet thick will be placed over the dredged areas. Dredged sediments will be transported to facilities and landfills out-of-state. The EPA estimates the total project length to be about 11 years, including a one year period of negotiation with the PRPs, three to four years to design the project and six years for implementation.
Based upon the estimated cost of the ROD Remedy, PSEG’s estimate of PSE&G’s and Power’s shares of that cost, and the continued ability of PSE&G to recover such costs in its rates, PSE&G accrued an additional $36 million Environmental Costs Liability and a corresponding Regulatory Asset and Power accrued an additional $8 million Other Noncurrent Liability and a corresponding O&M Expense in the first quarter of 2016. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, these accruals bring the total liability to approximately $57 million, $46 million applicable to PSE&G and $11 million applicable to Power.
Also in March 2016, the EPA sent a notice letter to 105 PRPs, including PSE&G, all other past and present members of the CPG, including Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC), and the towns of Newark, Kearny and Harrison and the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission stating that the EPA wants to determine whether OCC, a successor company to Diamond
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Shamrock, would voluntarily perform the remedial design for the ROD Remedy. On September 30, 2016, OCC and the EPA executed an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Remedial Design under which OCC agreed to conduct the remedial design for the ROD. With OCC’s commitment to perform the remedial design, it is anticipated that the EPA will begin negotiation of a remedial action consent decree, under which OCC and the other “major PRPs” will implement and/or pay for the EPA’s ROD Remedy for the lower 8.3 miles. The EPA has not defined “major PRP.PRPs.
OnIn June 16, 2016, Tierra and Maxus, successors to Diamond Shamrock, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although PSEG does not currently anticipateMaxus and Tierra are subsidiaries of YPF Holdings, Inc. (YPF Holdings). YPF Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of YPF S.A. (YPF), a company controlled by the Argentinian government. Neither YPF Holdings nor YPF is a party to the bankruptcy proceedings. However, Tierra and Maxus have filed a plan of liquidation that may allow the filingparties to assert one or more causes of action to hold YPF responsible for bankruptcycertain amounts owed by Tierra and Maxus. PSEG cannot currently determine the impact, if any, that the bankruptcy of Tierra and Maxus will affector any related proceeding might have on its allocable share or total liability for the Passaic River matter, and therefore, PSEG, through the CPG and independently, will continue to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings to identify any potential impact on PSEG’s share of the costs.
In March 2017, the EPA sent a letter to 20 PRPs, that are considered by the EPA to have minimal responsibility for the Passaic River’s contamination, offering “cash-out” settlements in return for payments by each PRP of $280,600. The PRPs that settle will be released from their CERCLA remediation liability for the lower 8.3 miles of the lower Passaic River. It is unclear how the EPA made that determination or how many PRPs will accept the proposal. The settlement is subject to a 30 day public comment period that has not yet commenced. The impact of this settlement on PSEG’s responsibility for the remediation of the lower 8.3 miles is not material.
The EPA has broad authority to implement its selected remedy through the ROD and PSEG cannot at this time predict how the implementation of the ROD might impact PSE&G’s and Power’s ultimate liability. Until (i) the RI/FS, which covers the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River, is finalized either in whole or in part, (ii) an agreement by the PRPs to perform either the ROD Remedy as issued, or an amended ROD Remedy determined through negotiation or litigation, and an agreed upon remedy for the remaining 8.7 miles of the river, are reached, (iii) PSE&G’s and Power’s respective shares of the costs, both in the aggregate as well as individually, are determined, and (iv) PSE&G’s continued ability to recover the costs in its rates is determined, it is not possible to predict this matter’s ultimate impact on PSEG’s financial statements. It is possible that PSE&G and 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 PSEG, 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
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


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 possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.                        
Newark Bay Study Area
The EPA has established the Newark Bay Study Area, which it defines as Newark Bay and portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull. In August 2006, the EPA sent PSEG and 11 other entities notices that it considered each of the entities to be a PRP with respect to contamination in the Study Area. The notice letter requested that the PRPs fund an EPA-approved study in the Newark Bay Study Area. The notice stated the EPA’s belief that hazardous substances were released from sites owned by PSEG companies and located on the Hackensack River, including two operating electric generating stations (Hudson and Kearny sites) and one former MGP site. 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. PSE&G and Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of the possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
MGP Remediation Program
PSE&G is working with the 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 $424$386 million and $481$443 million through 2021, including its $46 million share for the Passaic River accrued as of September 30, 2016, as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $424$386 million as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. Of this amount, $70$74 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $354$312 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $424$386 million Regulatory Asset with respect to these costs. PSE&G periodically updates its studies taking into account any new regulations or new information which could impact future remediation costs and adjusts its recorded liability accordingly. NJDEP, PSEG and EPA representatives have had discussions regarding whether sampling in the Passaic River is required to delineate coal tar from MGP sites that abut the Passaic River Superfund site. PSEG cannot determine at this time whether this will have an impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy.

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)/New Source Review (NSR)
The PSD/NSR regulations, promulgated under the Clean Air Act (CAA), require major sources of certain air pollutants to obtain permits, install pollution control technology and obtain offsets, in some circumstances, when those sources undergo a “major modification,” as defined in the regulations. The federal government may order companies that are not in compliance with the PSD/NSR regulations to install the best available control technology at the affected plants and to pay monetary penalties ranging from $25,000 to $37,500 per day for each violation, depending upon when the alleged violation occurred.
In 2009, the EPA issued a notice of violation to Power and the other owners of the Keystone coal-fired plant in Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, that various capital improvement projects were completed at the plant which are considered modifications (or major modifications) causing significant net emission increases of PSD/NSR air pollutants, beginning in 1985 for Keystone Unit 1 and in 1984 for Keystone Unit 2. The notice of violation states that none of these modifications underwent the PSD/NSR permitting process prior to being put into service, which the EPA alleges was required under the CAA. The notice of violation states that the EPA may issue an order requiring compliance with the relevant CAA provisions and may seek injunctive relief and/or civil penalties. Power owns approximately 23% of the plant. Power cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Clean Water Act Permit Renewals
Pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits expire within five years of their effective date. In order to renew these permits, but allow 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. 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.
OnIn May 19, 2014, the EPA issued a final rule that establishes new requirements for the regulation of cooling water intake structures at existing power plants and industrial facilities with a design flow of more than two million gallons of water per day. On August 15, 2014,

In June 10, 2016, the NJDEP issued a final NJPDES permit for Salem with an effective date of August 1, 2016. The final permit does not require installation of cooling towers and allows Salem to continue to operate utilizing the existing once-through cooling water system. The final permit does not mandate specific service water system modifications, but consistent with Section 316 (b) of the Clean Water Act, it requires additional studies and the selection of technology to address impingement for the service water system. OnIn July 8, 2016, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network (Riverkeeper) filed a request challenging the NJDEP’s issuance of the final permit for Salem. The Riverkeeper’s filing does not change the effective date of the permit. If the Riverkeeper’s challenge were successful, Power may be required to incur additional costs to comply with the Clean Water Act. Such service water system modification costs could be material and could adversely impact the economic competitiveness of this facility.
State permitting decisions at Bridgeport and possibly New Haven could also have a material impact on Power’s ability to renew permits at its existing larger once-through cooled plants without making significant upgrades to existing intake structures and cooling systems.
Power is unable to predict the outcome of these permitting decisions and the effect, if any, that they may have on 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).BH3. To address compliance with the EPA’s Clean Water Act Section 316(b) final rule, the current proposal under consideration is that, if a final permit is issued, Power would 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 currentpreviously estimated useful life ending in 2025. Based on current discussions with the CTDEEP, if the proposal is accepted, a final permit could be issued in late 2016.2017. See Note 3. Early Plant Retirements.
Separately, Power has also negotiated a Community Environmental Benefit Agreement (CEBA) with the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut.Connecticut and local community organizations. That CEBA provides that Power would retire BH3 early if all its precedent conditions occur, which include receipt
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

of all final permits to build and operate a proposed new combined cycle generating facility on the same site that BH3 currently operates. The receipt of permits to allow construction and operation of the new facility could occur in 2017. Absent those conditions being met, and the permit for the cooling water intake structure referred to above not being issued, Power willmay seek to operate BH3 through the currentpreviously 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 BH5. All major environmental permits have been obtained. Operations are expected to begin in mid-2019.
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 early October 2016, a discharge of mineral oil dielectric fluid from subsurface feeder cables located in the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, was identified and reported to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).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 has declared an emergency and an emergency response action has been undertaken to investigate, contain, remediate and stop the fluid discharge; to assess, repair and restore the cables to good working order; and to restore the property. The regulatory agencies overseeing the emergency response, including the U.S. Coast Guard, hasthe NJDEP and the Army Corps of Engineers, have issued Notices of Federal Interest for an Oil Pollution Incident,multiple notices, orders and directives to the property owners, PSE&G and Con Edison, and the NJDEP has issued a Field Directivevarious parties related to both PSE&G and Con Edison.this matter. The investigation and response actions related to the fluid discharge are ongoing. The investigation of the discharge and its potential cause is in the preliminary

stages, making it difficult to determine the timing and potential costs to resolve this matter, as well as responsibility for such costs between PSE&G, Con Edison and NADC; however, basedNADC. Based on currently available information and the potential scope of the necessary repair and remediation work, the costs couldwill likely be material. In addition, the timeline for completing the repairs has been extended due to the presence of debris within PSE&G’s easement. In November 2016, PSE&G filed an action in New Jersey Federal Court seeking an order requiring NADC to remove its debris from PSE&G’s easement so that PSE&G and Con Edison may comply with NJDEP and U.S. Coast Guard directives and complete the necessary repairs. NADC subsequently informed PSE&G that it would comply with the U.S. Coast Guard’s order and undertake debris removal activities so that PSE&G and Con Edison can complete the necessary repairs. NADC’s debris removal activities are ongoing.

OnIn September 30, 2015, the EPA issued a new Effluent Limitation Guidelines Limitation 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. The EPA provides an implementation period for currently existing discharges of three years or up to eight years if a facility needs more time to implement equipment upgrades and provide supporting information to its permitting authority. In the intervening time period, existing discharge standards continue to apply. Power’s Bridgeport Harbor station and the jointly-owned Keystone and Conemaugh stations, have bottom ash transport water discharges and that are regulated under this rule. Keystone and Conemaugh also have flue gas desulfurization wastewaters regulated by the rule. Power is unable to predict if this rule will have a material impact on its future capital requirements, financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2017, the EPA announced that it had granted a petition for reconsideration of the ELG Rule and is acting promptly to issue an administrative stay of the compliance dates in the rule that have not yet passed pending judicial review. The deadlines that are expected to be stayed include the BAT limitations and pretreatment standards for each of the following waste streams:  fly ash transport water, bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization wastewater, flue gas mercury control wastewater, and gasification wastewater. Power is unable to determine how this will ultimately impact compliance requirements or the financial impact it may have on the company.
Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs)
On December 19, 2014, the EPA issued a final rule whichthat regulates CCRs as non-hazardous and requires that facility owners implement a series of actions to close or upgrade existing CCR surface impoundments and/or landfills. It also establishes new provisions for the construction of new surface impoundments and landfills. Power’s Hudson and Mercer generating stations, along with its co-owned Keystone and Conemaugh stations, are subject to the provisions of this rule. On April 17, 2015, the final rule was published with an effective date of October 19, 2015. Accordingly in June 2015, Power recorded an additional asset retirement obligation to comply with the final CCR rule which was not material to Power’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Basic Generation Service (BGS) and Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS)
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 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 Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the auction (including Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM Load Serving Entity

including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards.
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, 2016 is $335.33$276.83 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2016 of $272.78$335.33 per MW-day. Energy for BGS-CIEP is priced at hourly PJM locational marginal prices for the contract period.

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, Power has entered into contracts to directly supply PSE&G and other New Jersey electric distribution companies (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 Power to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s gas customers. 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 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 18. Related-Party Transactions.
Minimum Fuel Purchase Requirements
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. Power’s nuclear fuel commitments cover approximately 100% of its estimated uranium, enrichment and fabrication requirements through 20172018 and a significant portion through 20202021 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom.
Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm pipeline transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess deliverypipeline capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, Power can use the gas to make third-party sales and if excess volume remains after the third-party sales, supply its fossil generating stations.stations in New Jersey.
Power also has various long-term fuel purchase commitments for coal through 20182019 to support its fossil generation stations.
As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows:

Regulatory Proceedings
FERC Compliance
PJM Bidding Matter
In the first quarter of 2014, Power discovered that it incorrectly calculated certain components of its cost-based bids for its New Jersey fossil generating units in the PJM energy market. Upon discovery of the errors, PSEG retained outside counsel to assist
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


in the conduct of an investigation into the matter and self-reported the errors. As the internal investigation proceeded, additional pricing errors in the bids were identified. It was further determined that the quantity of energy that Power offered into the energy market for its fossil peaking units differed from the amount for which Power was compensated in the capacity market for those units. PSEG informed FERC, PJM and the PJM Independent Market Monitor (IMM) of these additional issues, corrected the identified errors, and modified the bid quantities for Power’s peaking units. Power continues to implementhas implemented procedures to help mitigate the risk of similar issues occurring in the future.
During the three month periodmonths ended March 31, 2014, based upon its best estimate available at the time, Power recorded a pre-tax charge to income in the amount of $25 million related to this matter. No additional charges to income have been recorded for this matter since that time.
Since September 2014, FERC Staff has been conducting a preliminary, non-public staff investigation into these matters. While considerable uncertainty remains as to the final resolution of these matters, based upon recent developments in the investigation, Power believes the disgorgement and interest costs related to the cost-based bidding matter may range between approximately $35 million and issued data requests covering a period from 2002 through$135 million, depending on the datelegal interpretation of the self-report. This investigationprinciples under the PJM Tariff, plus penalties. Since no point within this range is ongoing. Since that time,more likely than any other, Power has respondedaccrued the low end of this range of $35 million by recording an additional pre-tax charge to data requests from FERC Staff, including recent data requests in whichincome of $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Power has recalculated certain of its energy bids in PJM for a five year period, and may receive additional data requests or other fact finding. The FERC Staff investigation is still in the fact finding stage and there is considerable uncertainty around FERC’s response to PSEG’s legal arguments and the amount of disgorgement or other remedies FERC may ultimately seek.
PSEG is unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible loss, if any, for this matter; however, the amountsquantity of potential disgorgement and other potentialenergy offered matter or the penalties that FERC would impose relating to either the cost-based bidding or quantity of energy matter. However, any of these amounts could be individually material to PSEG and Power.
Power continues to believe that it has legal defenses that it may incur spanassert in a wide range depending onjudicial challenge, including the success of PSEG’s legal arguments. These arguments includedefense that Power’s energy market bidsits cost-based bidding in a substantial majority of the hours werewas below the allowed rate under the Tariff and therefore any errors in those hours did not violate the Tariff or were immaterial and thatimmaterial. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the quantity of the bidsenergy offered violated any legal requirement. If PSEG’s legal arguments do not prevailAs a result, PSEG and Power cannot predict the final outcome of these matters.
Financial Transmission Rights (FTR) Auction Matter
In January 2017, ER&T received requests from the FERC Office of Enforcement relating to the planning and implementation of ER&T’s participation in whole orthe annual FTR auction in partPJM for the 2016-2017 planning year and the monthly FTR auctions in PJM for February, March and April 2016. PSEG is cooperating with FERC or in ajudicial challenge thatthis matter. PSEG may choose to pursue, it is likely that Power would record additional losses and that such additional losses would be material to PSEG’s and Power’s Consolidated Statementscannot predict the outcome of Operations in the quarterly and annual periods in which they are recorded.
Nuclear Insurance Coverages
The following should be read in conjunction with Note 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Based upon a review of its nuclear insurance, Power made changes to its Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) insurance coverage of the excess layer for property damage which became effective on April 1, 2016. The excess layer provides coverage above the primary layer of NEIL insurance coverage for property damage of $1.5 billion. For the excess layerthis matter at the Salem/Hope Creek site, Power purchased coverage for property damage of $300 million due to a nuclear event and $300 million due to a non-nuclear event. For the excess layer at the Peach Bottom site, Power purchased coverage for its ownership interest for property damage of $300 million due to a nuclear event. For the excess layer at the Peach Bottom site, Exelon purchased coverage for property damage of $600 million due to a non-nuclear event which covers the ownership interest of Power. this time.

Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of 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.
In March 2017, PSEG, Power and PSE&G amended their credit agreements, extending the expiration dates to March 2022. Concurrently, PSEG increased its existing $1 billion in credit facilities to $1.5 billion, Power decreased its existing $2.6 billion in credit facilities to $2.1 billion, which includes two new 3-year $100 million letter of credit facilities that expire in March 2020.
The commitments under PSEG’sthe $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group withgroup. As of March 31, 2017, the total available credit capacity was $3.6 billion.
As of March 31, 2017, no single institution representingrepresented more than 7%8% of the total commitments in PSEG’sthe credit facilities.

Note 11. Financial Risk Management Activities
The operations of PSEG, Power and PSE&G are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity prices that could affect their results of operations and financial condition. Exposure to these risks is managed through normal operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through hedging transactions. Hedging transactions use derivative instruments to create a relationship in which changes to the value of the assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions exposed to market risks are expected to be offset by changes in the value of these derivative instruments.
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 purchasepurchases and normal salesales (NPNS), cash flow hedge and fair value hedge accounting. 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. Transactions receiving NPNS treatmentPSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are accounted for upon settlement. For a derivative instrument that qualifiesdesignated and is designatedeffective as a cash flow hedge, the changes in theor fair value of such a derivative that are highly effective are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. For a derivative instrument that qualifies and is designated as a fair value hedge, the gains or losses on the derivative as well as the offsetting losses or gains on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings each period.hedges. Power and PSE&G enter 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, Power has the most exposure to commodity price risk. 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. Power uses a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments, to manage the commodity price risk of its electric generation facilities, including physical and financial transactions in the wholesale energy markets to mitigate the effects of adverse movements in fuel and electricity prices. The fair value for the majority of these contracts is obtained from quoted market sources. Modeling techniques using assumptions reflective of current market rates, yield curves and forward prices are used to interpolate certain prices when no quoted market exists. PSEG had no commodity derivative transactions designatedsuch as cash flow or fair value hedges as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Economic Hedges
Power enters into derivative contracts that are not designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges. Power enters into financial options, futures, swaps, fuel purchases and forward purchases and sales of electricity. These transactions are economic hedges, intendedelectricity, to mitigatemanage the exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and optimize the value of Power’s expected generation. Changes in the fair market value of thesethe derivative contracts are recorded in earnings. PSE&G is a party to a long-term natural gas sales derivative contract tooptimize its pipeline capacity utilization. Changes in the fair market value of the contract are recorded in Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities.
Interest Rates
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.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


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 the changes in the fair value of the underlying forecasted interest payments of the debt. Interest rate swaps totaling $550 million that converted the retired Power’s Senior Notes due September 2016 into variable-rate debt matured in the third quarter. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2016. As ofMarch 31, 2017 or December 31, 2015, the2016. The fair value of all the underlying hedges was $6 million. The effect of these hedges reduced interest expense by $2 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $6 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

March 31, 2016.
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,March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, PSEG had interest rate hedges outstanding totaling $500 million. These hedges convert PSEG’s $500 million variable rate term loan due November 2017 into a fixed rate loan. TheAs of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of these hedges was $2 million and the related$1 million, respectively. There was no ineffectiveness were immaterial as of September 30, 2016. PSEG interest rate hedges totaling $400 million were terminated during the second quarterMarch 31, 2017 and a gain of $2 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 million of 3% Senior Notes due June 2021. For additional information see Note 10. Debt and Credit Facilities. There were no outstanding interest rate cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2015. 2016.
The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to existing and terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $2 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and was immaterial as of December 31, 2015.2016. The after-tax unrealized gains on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are immaterial. The expiration date of the longest-dated interest rate hedge is in May 2021.$1 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 have beenare offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Power PSE&G and PSEG.

(A)Substantially all of Power’s and PSEG’s derivative instruments are contracts subject to master netting agreements. Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016. PSE&G does not have any derivative contracts subject to master netting or similar agreements.
(B)
Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral received or posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 net cash collateral (received) paid was netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions with $(4) million of cash collateral netted against noncurrent assets, and $4 million netted against current liabilities. As of December 31, 2015,2016, net cash collateral (received) paid of $(18)$1 million and $(55) million, respectively, werewas netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(18)$1 million as of September 30,December 31, 2016, $(13)$(3) million and $(14) million of cash collateral werewas netted against currentnoncurrent assets and noncurrent assets, respectively, and $9$4 million was netted against current liabilities. Of the $(55) million as of December 31, 2015, $(53) million and $(16) million were netted against current assets and noncurrent assets, respectively, and $12 million and $2 million were netted against current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, respectively.
Certain of Power’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require Power to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon Power’s credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit risk-related contingent features stipulate that if 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 Power would represent a three level downgrade from its current S&P andor 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. 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, and contracts designated as NPNS)collateralized) was $42$13 million and $78$19 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, Power had the contractual right of offset of $11$7 million and $12$9 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under agreements and net of margin posted. If Power had been downgraded to a below investment grade rating, it would have had additional collateral obligations of $31$6 million and $66$10 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

Credit Risk
Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that wePower would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. We havePSEG has established credit policies that we believeit 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 Power’s and PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
As of September 30, 2016, 92%March 31, 2017, 98% of the net credit exposure for Power’s 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 and normal purchases/normal sales)non-derivatives).
The following table provides information on Power’s credit risk from others, net of collateral, as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, andwhich 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 Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties.

(A)Represents net exposure of $114$202 million with PSE&G. The remaining net exposure of $33 million is with a non-affiliated power purchaser which is an investment grade counterparty.
As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, collateral held from counterparties where Power had credit exposure included $3$1 million in cash collateral and $133$94 million in letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, Power had 135159 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
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


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, 2016,March 31, 2017, 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, 2016,March 31, 2017, PSE&G had no net credit exposure with suppliers, including 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 12. 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 Power have the ability to access. These consist primarily of listed equity securities and money market mutual funds.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, 2016,March 31, 2017, these consisted primarily of long-term gas supply contracts and 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 Power’s respective assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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 Power.

(A)Represents money market mutual funds.
(B)Level 2—Fair values for1— During 2016 a net fair value of $1 million relating to energy-related contracts was transferred from Level 2 into Level 1. These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) arebeing valued usingsolely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the average of the bid/askexchange.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

midpointsLevel 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 multiple broker or dealer quotesan exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts based on market prices, basis adjustments and other premiums where adjustments and premiums are not considered significant to the overall inputs.
Level 3—For energy-related contracts, which include more complex agreements where limited observable inputs or pricing information are available, modeling techniques are employed using assumptions reflective of contractual terms, current market rates, forward price curves, discount rates and risk factors, as applicable. Fair values of other energy contracts may be based on broker quotes that we cannot corroborate with actual market transaction data.
(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.
(D)The fair value measurement tables exclude an immaterial amount of cash as of March 31, 2017 and $1 million as of December 31, 2016, which is part of the NDT Fund. The NDT Fund maintains investments in various equity and fixed income securities classified as “available for sale.” The Rabbi Trust maintains investments in an S&P 500a Russell 3000 index fund and various fixed income securities classified as “available for sale.”sale” as of March 31, 2017. The Rabbi Trust maintained investments in a S&P 500 index fund and various securities classified as “available for sale” as of December 31, 2016. These securities are generally valued with prices that are either exchange provided (equity securities) or market transactions for comparable securities and/or broker quotes (fixed income securities).
Level 1—Investments in marketable equity securities within the NDT Fund are primarily investments in common stocks across a broad range of industries and sectors. Most equity securities are priced utilizing the principal market close price or, in some cases, midpoint, bid or ask price. Certain open-ended mutual funds with mainly short-term investments are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The Rabbi Trust equity index fund is valued based on quoted prices in an active market.
Level 2—NDT and Rabbi Trust fixed income securities are limited toinclude investment grade corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset backed securities and certain government and US 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.
(E)Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral received or posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30,March 31, 2017, $(4) million of cash collateral was netted against assets, and $4 million was netted against liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, net cash collateral (received) paid of $(18)$1 million was netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(18) million as of September 30, 2016, $(27) million of cash collateral was netted against assets, and $9 million was netted against liabilities. As of December 31, 2015, net cash collateral (received) paid of $(55) million was netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(55)$1 million of cash collateral as of December 31, 2015, $(69)2016, $(3) million was netted against assets, and $14$4 million was netted against liabilities.
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 approves risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The Risk Management Committee reports to the Corporate Governance and Audit CommitteeCommittees 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 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.

For PSE&G, the natural gas supply contracts arecontract is measured at fair value using modeling techniques taking into account the current price of natural gas adjusted for appropriate risk factors, as applicable, and internal assumptions about transportation costs, and accordingly, the fair value measurements are classified in Level 3. The fair value of 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.

Significant unobservable inputs listed above would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above Level 3 instruments if they were adjusted. For gas supply contracts where PSE&G is a seller, an increase in gas transportation cost would increase the fair value. For energy-related contracts in cases where Power is a seller, an increase in the load variability would decrease the fair value.

(A)Fair value includes a $500 million floating rate term loan and net offsets to debt resulting from adjustments from interest rate swaps entered into to hedge certain debt at Power.offsets. The fair value of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) was considered to be equal to the carrying value because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly. Carrying amount includes such fair value reduced by the unamortized premium resulting from a debt exchange entered into between Power and Energy Holdings.
(B)Given that most bonds do not trade, 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) 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.
(C)Non-recourse project debt is valued as equivalent to the amortized cost and is classified as a Level 3 measurement.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the overall decreasesdecrease in PSEG’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year as well as to the statutory tax rate of 40.85%, werewas primarily due primarily to changes in uncertain tax positions and plant related items.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the overall decreases in PSE&G’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year as well as to the statutory tax rate of 40.85%, were due primarily to changes in uncertain tax positions and plant and other flow through items.
The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 extended the 50% bonus depreciation rules for qualified property placed in service before January 1, 2015 and for long production property placed in service in 2015.interest on a New Jersey State refund.
The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (Tax Act) extended the 50% bonus depreciation rules for qualified property placed in service from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. The rate is reduced to 40% and 30% for eligible property placed in service in 2018 and 2019, respectively. In addition, long production property placed in service in 2020 will also qualify for 30% bonus depreciation. The Tax Act also extended the 30% ITC for qualified property placed in service starting January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019 but reduces the ITC rate to 26% and 22% for projects commenced in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The financial impact of the extensions of the ITC rate will depend upon future transactions.
These provisions haveThis provision has generated significant cash tax benefits for PSEG, PSE&G and Power through tax benefits related to the accelerated depreciation. These tax benefits would have otherwise been received over an estimated average 20 year period. However, these tax benefits will have a negative impact on the rate base of several of PSE&G’s programs.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends
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:

(A)PSE&G has entered into a requirements contract with Power under which Power provides the gas supply services needed to meet PSE&G’s BGSS and other contractual requirements. Power has also entered into contracts to supply energy, capacity and ancillary services to PSE&G through the BGS auction process. In addition, Power and PSE&G provide certain technical services for each other generally at cost in compliance with FERC and BPU affiliate rules.
(B)Services provides and bills administrative services to PSE&G and Power at cost. In addition, PSE&G and Power have other payables to Services, including amounts related to certain common costs, such as pension and OPEB costs, which Services pays on behalf of each of the operating companies.
(C)PSEG files a consolidated federal income tax return with its affiliated companies. A tax allocation agreement exists between PSEG and each of its affiliated companies. The general operation of these agreements is that the subsidiary company will compute its taxable income on a stand-alone basis. If the result is a net tax liability, such amount shall be paid to PSEG. If there are net operating losses and/or tax credits, the subsidiary shall receive payment for the tax savings from PSEG to the extent that PSEG is able to utilize those benefits.
(D)PSE&G and Power have advanced working capital to Services. The amounts are included in Other Noncurrent Assets on PSE&G’s and Power’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(E)Power’s short-term loans with PSEG are for working capital and other short-term needs. Interest Income and Interest Expense relating to these short-term funding activities were immaterial.

(A)NDT Fund Income (Expense) includes the realized gains and losses, interest and dividend income and other costs related to the NDT Fund which are recorded in Other Income and Deductions, and impairments on certain NDT securities recorded as Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. Interest accretion expense on Power’s nuclear Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) is recorded in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense and the depreciation related to the ARO asset is recorded in Depreciation and Amortization (D&A) Expense.
(B)Net of tax (expense) benefit of $(2) million, $10 million, $0$(9) million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively.
(C)Net of tax (expense) benefit of $(24) million, $(34) million, $37$(4) million and $(40)$(10) million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively.
Our $112$357 million decrease in Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was driven primarily by
an impairment related to investments in certain leveraged leases at Energy Holdings (See Item 1. Note 6. Financing Receivables),
chargesaccelerated depreciation related to the early retirement of twoour Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation units at Power (See(see Item 1. Note 3. Early Plant Retirements),
a decrease in energy sales due primarily to lower average realized sales prices, and
a charge for estimated losses related to leveraged lease investments (see Item 1. Note 6. Financing Receivables).
These decreases were partially offset by:
higher transmission revenues, and
increased gas distribution revenues.



lower volumes of energy sold at lower average realized prices and lower capacity revenues, primarily in the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) region.
These decreases were partially offset by
higher revenues due to increased investments in transmission projects,
higher electricity sales under non-BGS wholesale load contracts in PJM and New England (NE) and higher volumes of electricity sold at higher prices under our Basic Generation Service (BGS) contracts, and
lower other-than-temporary impairments of the NDT Fund.
Our $385 million decrease in Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was driven primarily by
the aforementioned charges in the 2016 third quarter for the early retirement of the two coal/gas generation units at Power,
MTM losses in 2016 as compared to MTM gains in 2015,
lower volumes of energy sold at lower average realized sales prices,
lower capacity and operating reserve revenues in PJM,
higher 2016 congestion costs in PJM as a result of credits received in 2015 due to extremely colder weather,
lower volumes of gas sold at lower average prices under the Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) contract,
insurance recoveries received primarily by Power in 2015 related to Superstorm Sandy, and
the aforementioned third quarter 2016 impairment on leveraged leases at Energy Holdings.
These decreases were partially offset by
lower generation costs driven by lower fuel costs, particularly for natural gas, and reduced generation output at Power,
higher costs incurred at Power for planned outages in 2015, and
higher revenues due to increased investments in transmission projects.
During the first ninethree months of 2016,2017, we maintained a strong balance sheet. We continued to effectively deploy capital without the need for additional equity, while our solid credit ratings aided our ability to access capital and credit markets. The greater emphasis on capital spending for projects on which we receive contemporaneous returns at PSE&G, our regulated utility, in recent years has yielded strong results, which when combined with the cash flow generated by Power, our merchant generator and power marketer, has allowed us to increase our dividend. These actions to transition our business to meet market conditions and investor expectations reflect our multi-year, long-term approach to managing our company. Our focus has been to invest capital in T&D and other infrastructure projects aimed at maintaining service reliability to our customers and bolstering our system resiliency. At Power, our merchant generator, we strive to improve performance and reduce costs in order to enhance the value of our generation fleet in light of low gas prices, environmental considerations and competitive market forces that reward efficiency and reliability.
At PSE&G, we continue to invest in 2016 wetransmission projects that focus on reliability improvements and replacement of aging infrastructure. We also continue to make investments to improve the resiliency of our gas and electric distribution system as part of our Energy Strong program that was approved by the BPU in 2014 and to seek recovery on such investments. We also commenced modernizingcontinue to modernize PSE&G’s gas distribution systems as part of our Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP) that was approved by the BPU in late 2015. Over the past few years, these types of investments have altered our business mix to reflect a higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G. In 2017, asAs a result of our Energy Strong Order from the BPU, we will be required to file a Distributiondistribution base rate case proceeding.proceeding by no later than November 1, 2017. We cannot predict the impact such proceeding will have on our distribution business.
DespiteAlthough the unseasonable warm winter weather patterns in 2016,the first quarter of 2017 was warmer than normal, Power’s results benefitedsaw a continuing benefit from access to natural gas supplies through existing firm pipeline transportation contracts. Power manages these contracts for the benefit of PSE&G’s customers through the BGSS arrangement. The contracts are sized to provide for delivery of a reliable gas supply to PSE&G customers on peak winter days. When pipeline capacity beyond the customers’ needs is available, Power can use it to make third partythird-party sales and if excess volume remains after the third-party sales, supply gas to its generating units in New Jersey. Alternatively, gas supply and pipeline capacity constraints could adversely impact our ability to meet the needs of our utility customers and generating units. Power’s strategic 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 of Power’s expected gross margin in 2017 relates to our hedging strategy, our expected revenues from the capacity market mechanisms and certain ancillary service payments such as reactive power.
Our recent investments in the latter half of 2015 and early 2016 in Keys Energy Center (Keys), Sewaren 7 and Bridgeport Harbor Station 5 (BH5) reflect our recognition of the value of opportunistic growth in the Power business. These additions to



our fleet both expand our geographic diversity and adjust our fuel mix and are expected to contribute to the overall efficiency of operations.
Since 2013, eightseveral nuclear generating stations in the United States have closed or announced early retirement due to economic reasons, and four additional stationsor have been announced as being at risk for early retirement. This situation is generally due to low natural gas prices, and the related decline in market prices of energy, resulting from the growth of shale gas production since 2007, the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities and both federal and state-level policies that provide creditsfinancial incentives to renewable energy such as wind and solar, but generally do not apply to nuclear generating stations. These trends have significantly reduced the revenues toof nuclear generating stations while simultaneously raisinglimiting their ability to reduce the unit cost of production. This may result in the electric generation industry experiencing a shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet and greater reliance on natural gas pipelines for delivery and less diversity of the generation fleet.fuel delivery.
If trends noted above continue or worsen, our nuclear generating units could cease being economically competitive which may cause us to retire such units prior to the end of their useful lives. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated depreciation and amortizationD&A or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, and environmental remediation costs, could be material.and additional funding of nuclear decommissioning trust funds will likely have a material adverse impact on future financial results. We continue to advocate for sound policies that recognize nuclear power as a source of reliable and clean energy and an important part of a diverse and reliable energy portfolio. See Item 1. Note 3. Early Plant Retirements for additional information.
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.



Transmission
In April 2013,2017, the PJM initiated its first “open window” solicitation process to allow both incumbents and non-incumbents the opportunity to submit transmission project proposals to address identified high voltage issues in New Jersey. In February 2016, FERC issued an order granting PSE&G’s request that it be permitted to seek recovery of 100% of its portion of prudently incurred Artificial Island project costs if the project is cancelled for reasons beyond PSE&G’s control. In April 2016, PSE&G accepted construction responsibility for three components of the Artificial Island project that PJM assigned to us. On August 5, 2016, PJMBoard announced that it has suspendedwould be lifting the previously disclosed suspension of the Artificial Island transmission project and is performing a comprehensive analysisapproved the award to determine a future course of action, which is expected to be completed by February 2017. We may also from time to time have opportunities to submit transmission project proposals in regions where we are not the incumbent. However, there can be no assurance that any such proposals would be successful.
In April 2016, PJM filed at FERC to incorporate a voltage threshold into PJM’s Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) process to exempt, except under certain circumstances, reliability violations on facilities below 200 kV from PJM’s proposal window process. We generally support this reform as a measure to improve the efficiencyPSE&G of the open window procedure that will permit transmission developers to focus on the projects most likely to benefit fromconstruction of necessary upgrade work in Hope Creek at a competitive process.cost of approximately $130 million. 
There are several matters pending before FERC that concern the allocation of costs associated with transmission projects 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 ratepayers in New Jersey and may cause increased scrutiny regarding PSE&G’s future capital investments.Jersey. In addition, as a basic generation service (BGS) supplier, 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 may be entitled to an adjustment, subject to BPU approval. We do not believe that these matters will have a material effect on 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 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. While we are not the subject of a challenge to the ROE employed in PSE&G’s transmission formula rate, the results of these other proceedings could set precedents for other transmission owners with formula rates in place, including PSE&G.

Wholesale Power Market Design
Capacity market design, including the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) in PJM, remains an important focus for us. In JuneDuring 2015, FERC conditionally acceptedPJM implemented a proposal from PJMnew “Capacity Performance” (CP) mechanism that created a more robust capacity product with enhanced incentives for a capacity performance product to include generators, Demand Response and energy efficiency providers, which will be required to perform during emergency conditions as a supplementand significant penalties for non-performance. The CP product is expected to be implemented fully for the 2020-2021 Delivery Year. Subsequent to its implementation, FERC approved changes to the CP construct that will enhance the participation of intermittent and demand response resources (“seasonal resources”). However, two complaints remain pending that ask FERC to investigate the rules governing the participation of seasonal resources and extend the participation of the base capacity product. The proposal included enhanced performance-based incentives and penalties.resources for future auctions. We believe that the auction pricing adequately reflects the increased costs that could result from operating under more stringent rules for generation availability. Baseddo not expect action on the complaints before the upcoming 2020/2021 base residual auction results, the capacity performance mechanism appears to have provided the opportunity for enhanced capacity market revenue streams for Power, but future impacts cannot be assured. Further, there may be requirements for additional investment and there are additional performance and financial risks. Appeals of FERC’s capacity performance orders are pending.
Inin May 2016, PJM announced the results of the RPM capacity auction for the 2019-2020 delivery year. Power cleared 8,895 MW of its generating capacity at an average price of $116 per MW-day for the 2019-2020 delivery period. Of the cleared capacity, Power believes that nearly all is compliant with PJM’s capacity performance requirements. In the two prior capacity auctions covering the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 delivery years, Power cleared approximately 8,700 MW at average prices of $177 per MW-day and $215 per MW-day, respectively. Prices in the most recent auction reflect PJM’s downwardly-revised demand forecast, changes in the emergency transfer limits due to transmission expansion and the effects of both the new generation and uncleared generation from the prior year’s auction.2017.
As a result of the efforts of certain entities in PJM to obtain financial support arrangements from their state commission,commissions, a group of suppliers requested that FERC direct PJM to expand the currently effective “minimum offer price rule” to apply to certain existing units seeking subsidies. The suppliers’ request was intended to avoid a scenario where the subsidized generators would submit bids into the PJM capacity market that did not reflect their actual costs of operation and could artificially suppress capacity market prices. We are currently awaiting FERC action on the suppliers’ request and cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding. See Part II, Item 5. Other Information—Federal Regulation—Capacity Market Issues—PJM for additional information.
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 (FWPCA) 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. See Item 1. Note 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for further information.
In October 2015,March 2017, the President of the United States issued an Executive Order that instructed the EPA publishedto review the New Source Performance Standards, which establish emissions standards for CO2 for certain new fossil power plants, and the Clean Power Plan, (CPP), a greenhouse gas emissions regulation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for existing power plants. The regulationplants that establishes state-specific emission rate targets based on implementation of the best systemssystem of emission reduction. We continue to work with FERC and other federal and state regulators, as well as industry partners, to determine the potential impact of these regulations.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s February 2016 decision to stay the implementationUpon completion of the CPP will delay deadlines for submission of state requests for extensions and final plans. Ifreview, the CPPEPA is upheld, new deadlines will needexpected to be established andsuspend, revise or rescind the effective date of the compliance period may be impacted.rules as appropriate. 
We are 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 various statutes. 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 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.Liabilities.



FERC Compliance
Since September 2014, FERC Staff has been conducting a preliminary non-public investigation regarding errors in the calculation of certain components of Power’s cost-based bids for its New Jersey fossil generating units in the PJM energy market and the quantity of energy that Power offered into the energy market for its fossil peaking units compared to the amounts for which Power was compensated in the capacity market for those units. ThisWhile considerable uncertainty remains as to the final resolution of these matters, based upon recent developments in the investigation, is ongoing. The amounts of potentialPower believes the disgorgement and other potential penalties that weinterest costs related to the cost-based bidding matter may incur span a wide range between approximately $35 million and $135 million, depending on the successlegal interpretation of our legal arguments. If our legal arguments do not prevail, in wholethe principles under the PJM Tariff, plus penalties. Since no point within this range is more likely than any other, Power has accrued the low end of this range of $35 million by recording an additional pre-tax charge to income of $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. PSEG is unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible loss, if any, for the quantity of energy offered matter or in part withthe penalties that FERC would impose relating to either the cost-based bidding or in a judicial challenge that we may

We cannot predict the final outcome of operations in the quarterly and annual periods in which they are recorded.these matters. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.
Early Retirement of Hudson and Mercer Units
In October 2016, Power determined it will cease generation operations of the existing coal/gas units at the Hudson and Mercer generating stations on June 1, 2017. The exact timing of the early retirement of these units will be reviewed for reliability impacts by PJM, and may be impacted by operational and other conditions that could subsequently arise. The decision to retire the Hudson and Mercer units will havehad a material effect on PSEG’s and Power’s results of operations. Inoperations in 2016 and continues to adversely impact their results of operations in 2017. During the third quarterfirst three months of 2016, PSEG and2017, Power recognized one-time pre-tax chargesincremental D&A of $558 million ($574 million in Energy Costs, Operationtotal) and Maintenance and Depreciation and Amortization of $62expects to recognize an additional incremental $379 million $48($389 million and $4 million, respectively, related to coal inventory adjustments, capacity penalties, materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments for parts that cannot be used at other generating units, employee-related severance benefits costs, construction work in progress impairments, and asset retirement obligation (ARO) adjustments, among other shut down items. In addition to these one-time charges, Power will recognize incremental Depreciation and Amortization during the remainder of 2016 of $568 million and $946 million intototal) in 2017 due to the significant shortening of the expected economic useful lives of Hudson and Mercer. Additional employee-related salary continuanceDuring the first quarter of 2017, Energy Costs of $7 million for coal inventory adjustments was also incurred and severanceother costs and various miscellaneous costs may also be incurred during the remaining period in 2017 prior to retirement. Finally, See Item 1. Note 3. Early Plant Retirements for additional information.
Power currently anticipates using the sites for alternative industrial activity. However, if Power determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early retirement of the units at such sites would trigger investigation andobligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation of identified environmental contamination.remediation. The amounts for any such environmental investigation or remediation are notneither currently probable ornor estimable but may be material. For additional information, including our estimated costs through 2017, see Item 1. Note 3. Early Plant Retirements.
The primary factors considered during our annual five-year strategic planning process that contributed to the decision to retire these units early include significant declines in revenues and margin caused by a sustained period of depressed wholesale power prices and reduced capacity factors caused by lower natural gas prices making coal generation less economically competitive than natural gas-fired generation. Despite experiencing recent warmer than normal weather in PJM this summer, Power did not experience the usual increase in electricity prices in PJM as it had in past hot summers. This trend has a further adverse economic impact to these units because they generally dispatch and earn energy margin on peak hot and cold days. In addition, the upcoming PJM capacity auction in May 2017 will be the first to require all generating units to meet the increased operating performance standards of PJM’s new capacity performance construct. Power determined that the costs to upgrade the existing units at the Hudson and Mercer stations to be able to comply with these higher reliability standards are too significant and not economic given current market conditions. 
In addition, PSEG and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone Conemaugh and Bridgeport HarborConemaugh generating stations, to ensureassess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives.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 ourtheir 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 otherremaining coal units before the end of their current estimated useful lives may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results.
Leveraged Lease ImpairmentsPortfolio
DuringGenOn Energy, Inc. (GenOn), the third quarterparent company of 2016, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of estimated residual values embedded in the NRG REMA LLC, (REMA) leveraged leases. The, reported in August 2016 that it did not expect to have sufficient liquidity to repay their senior unsecured notes due in June 2017. Although all lease payments are current, PSEG cannot predict the outcome indicated that the revised residual value estimates were lower than the recorded residual valuesof GenOn’s efforts to restructure its portfolio and improve its liquidity and the decline was deemed to be other than temporarypossible related impact on REMA.
During the first quarter of 2017, due to the adversecontinuing liquidity issues facing REMA, economic conditions experienced bychallenges facing coal generation in PJM, and based upon an ongoing review of available alternatives as discussedwell as certain recent discussions with REMA management, Energy Holdings recorded an additional $55 million pre-tax charge for its current best estimate of loss relating to its investments in Note 3. Early Plant Retirements, negatively impacting the economic outlook of the leased assets. As a result, a pre-tax write-down of $137 millionREMA leases, which was reflected in Operating Revenues inRevenues. PSEG continues to monitor any changes to REMA’s and GenOn’s status and potential impacts on Energy Holdings’ lease investments, which could include further write-downs of the quarter ended September 30, 2016, calculated by comparing the gross investment in the leases before and after the revised residual estimates.values of Energy Holdings’ leveraged leases. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 6. Financing Receivables. There can be no assurance that a continuation or worsening of the adverse economic conditions would not lead to additional write-downs at any of our other generation units in our leveraged lease portfolio, and such write-downs could be material.
Additional facilities in our leveraged lease portfolio include the Joliet facility, which has converted to natural gas. The coal-fired units at theand Shawville generating facility are expected to return to service in the fall of 2016 with the abilityfacilities, which were converted to use natural gas.gas, and Powerton, a coal facility. However, these units may have higher operating costs and fuel consumption as well as longer start-up times compared to newer combined cycle gas units. As a result, these 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 coal generation facilities, which could require Energy Holdings to write down the residual value of the leveraged leases associated with these facilities.

PSEG continues to monitor any changes to REMA’s and GenOn’s status and potential impacts on Energy Holdings’ lease investments, which could include further write-downs of the values of Energy Holdings’ leveraged leases.
Salem Operations
The previously announced bolt replacement at Salem Unit 1 was completed and the unit returned to service on July 30, 2016. We expect to continue2017, we intend to inspect and replace degraded baffle bolts as part of our multi-year project to replace baffle bolts at both Salem units over the next several refueling outage cycles. We are participating with the Electric Power Research Institute, the Nuclear Energy Institute and other operators of similarly-designed pressurized water reactors in developing a strategy to maintain the long-term health of the reactor vessel internals. 
Extension of the Salem Unit 1 outage into July and an unplanned outage at Salem Unit 2 due to transformer issues reduced output from the Salem units in the third quarter, which was partially offset by increased production at our Hope Creek and Peach Bottom units. station.As a result, we expect the duration of this outage to be modestly longer than our typical refueling outage, which will reduce production and lower the nuclear capacity factor for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 88%.second quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

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. For the first ninethree months of 2016,2017, our
our utility continued top decile performance in electric reliability,
total nuclear fleet achieved an average capacity factor of 100%,
diverse fuel mix and dispatch flexibility allowed us to generate approximately 40 terra-watt13 terawatt hours while addressing fuel availability and price volatility, and compensating for the extended outages at our Salem units, and
combined cycle fleet produced 13three terawatt hours at an average capacityequivalent availability factor of 63%94%.
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 ninethree months of 20162017 as we
had cash on hand of $450 million as of September 30, 2016,maintained sufficient liquidity,
maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and
increased our indicative annual dividend for 20162017 to $1.64$1.72 per share.
We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources, without the issuance of new equity.
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 to trends in environmental protection and providing new energy supplies in domestic markets with growing demand. In the first ninethree months of 2016,2017, we
made additional investments in transmission infrastructure projects,
began executingcontinued to execute our GSMP, and continued executing Energy Strong and other existing BPU-approved utility programs, and
commencedcontinued construction of our Keys and Sewaren 7 generation projects for targeted commercial operation in 2018 and announced our plan to constructbegan construction of BH5 and commencefor targeted commercial operations in mid-2019, and
acquired three solar energy projects totaling 100 MW-direct current. Two of these projects are already in service in North Carolina and Colorado. The third project is in Colorado and expected to be in service by year end.mid-2019.
Future Outlook    
Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to maintain strong operational and financial performance in a slow-growing economy and a cost-constrained 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 and reliability and complying with applicable standards and requirements,

successfully manage our energy obligations and re-contract our open supply positions in response to changes in demand,
execute our utility capital investment program, including our Energy Strong program, GSMP 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 and start-up of our Keys Energy Center (Keys) , Sewaren 7, BH5(BH5) and other generation projects,



advocate for 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,
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.
For 20162017 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 proceeding, settlement, investigation or claim, applicable to us and/or the energy industry,
fair and timely rate relief from the BPU and FERC for recovery of costs and return on investments, including with respect to our distribution base rate case which mustproceeding to be filed with in 2017,
the BPU no later than November 1, 2017,potential for comprehensive tax reform, particularly in light of public statements by the current U.S. administration and key members of Congress,
uncertainty in the slowly improving national and regional economic recovery,performance, continuing customer conservation efforts, changes in energy usage patterns and evolving technologies, which impact customer behaviors and demand,
the potential for continued reductions in demand and sustained lower natural gas and electricity prices, both at market hubs and the locations where we operate,
the impact of lower natural gas prices and increasing environmental compliance costs on the competitiveness of our nuclear and remaining coal-fired generation plants, and the potential for retirement of such plants earlier than their current useful lives,
delays and other obstacles that might arise in connection with the construction of our T&D, generation and other development projects, including in connection with permitting and regulatory approvals,
maintaining a diverse mix of fuels to mitigate risks associated with fuel price volatility and market demand cycles, and
FERC Staff’s continuing investigation of certain of Power’s New Jersey fossil generating unit bids in the PJM energy market.
Our primary investment opportunities are in two areas: our regulated utility business and our merchant power business. 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 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 transmission and distribution facilities and/or generation units,
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,
continued or expanded participation in solar, demand response and energy efficiency programs, 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.
We continueIn 2016, Power announced its intention to actively explore opportunities in thedevelop a retail energy marketing business,platform to sell physical electricity and natural gas, which we believe would begin to complement our existing wholesale marketing business. Our entry intoPower was granted licenses in 2016 to sell both electricity and gas in the retail energy marketing business is subject to market conditionsstates of New Jersey and regulatory approval, among other things.



Pennsylvania.
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.

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 planned capital expenditures and shareholder dividend payments.
For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, our operating cash flow decreased $46718 million as compared to the same period in 2015.2016. The net change was primarily due primarily to the net changes from PSE&G and Power as discussed below.below largely offset by higher tax refunds in 2017 at Energy Holdings.
PSE&G
PSE&G’s operating cash flow decreased $11754 million from $1,518568 million to $1,401514 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 20152016, due primarily to a decreaselower tax refunds, partially offset by higher earnings, and an increase of $113$45 million due to a change in regulatory deferrals, a $64 million decrease due to higher vendor payments and a decrease due to the completion of securitization collections in 2015. These amounts were partially offset by higher earnings and higher tax refunds in 2016.deferrals.
Power
Power’s operating cash flow decreased $29883 million from $1,558663 million to $1,260580 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2015,2016, primarily due to tax payments in 2017 as compared to tax refunds in 2016 and lower earnings, partially offset by a $140$65 million decreaseincrease from net collection of counterparty receivables and a $12 million increase from fuels, materials and supplies, and a $146 million increase in margin deposit requirements, partially offset by a reduction in tax payments.supplies.

Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of 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.
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.
In March 2017, PSEG, Power and PSE&G amended their credit agreements, extending the expiration dates to March 2022. Concurrently, PSEG increased its existing $1 billion in credit facilities to $1.5 billion, Power decreased its existing $2.6 billion in credit facilities to $2.1 billion, which includes two new 3-year $100 million letter of credit facilities that expire in March 2020.
Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, 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 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 andor Moody’s ratings. In the event of a deterioration of Power’s credit rating certain of 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 Power were to lose its investment grade credit rating was approximately $807$801 million and $864$783 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The early retirement of Power’s Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation units is not expected to have a material impact on Power’s debt covenant ratios or its ability to obtain credit facilities. See Item 1. Note 3. Early Plant Retirements.
As of September 30, 2016, PSEG’s credit facilities are primarily available to back-stop its Commercial Paper Program under which PSEG had $255 million outstanding. PSE&G’s credit facility primary use is to support its Commercial Paper Program under which as of September 30, 2016, no amounts were outstanding. Most of our credit facilities expire in 2019 and 2020.
For additional information, see Item 1.Note1. Note 10. Debt and Credit Facilities.

Common Stock Dividends
On July 19, 2016,February 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly$0.43 dividend of $0.41 per share of common stock for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2017. On April 18, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a $0.43 dividend per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2017. This reflects an indicative annual dividend rate of $1.64$1.72 per share. We expect to continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock; however, the declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our businesses, alternate investment opportunities, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. For additional information related to cash dividends on our common stock, see Item 1. Note 16.Note16. 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 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.
In January 2016,April 2017, S&P published updated research reports onand affirmed the ratings and outlooks of PSEG and PSE&G and the existing ratings and outlooks were unchanged. In June 2016, Moody’s published credit opinions on Power and PSE&G and the existing ratings and outlooks were

unchanged. In June 2016, S&P published an updated research report on Power and the existing&G. PSEG Power’s rating and outlook were unchanged. In September 2016, Moody’s published an updated research report on PSEG and the existing rating and outlook werealso remain unchanged.

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 at PSE&G, Power and Services as compared to amounts disclosed in our 20152016 Form 10-K.
PSEG
In July 2016, PSEG partnered with Vectren Corporation on a FERC 1000 proposal to construct, own and operate a twenty mile, 345 kilovolt transmission line in the midwest region served by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO). MISO estimated the project would cost approximately $60 million and would go in service in 2021. MISO is expected to select a proposal in December 2016. This project is not included in PSEG’s projected capital expenditures.    
PSE&G
PSE&G increased its estimate of its capital expenditure program as reported in our 2015 Form 10-K by approximately $300 million from $8.3 billion to $8.6 billion primarily to address new business requests and replace aging equipment and infrastructure.   
In August 2016, PSE&G filed a petition with the BPU requesting approval of the $268 million investment and an associated cost recovery mechanism to develop a project where PSE&G would rebuild New Jersey Transit’s Mason substation and related facilities in Kearny, NJ. This is not included in PSE&G’s projected capital expenditures.
On October 20, 2016, PSE&G submitted a settlement agreement to the BPU providing for an extension of the existing landfill/brownfield solar program to construct up to 33 MW of grid connected facilities with projected capital expenditures of approximately $80 million through May 2020. This extension is pending approval by the BPU. This is not included in PSE&G’s projected capital expenditures.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, PSE&G made capital expenditures of $2,035$752 million, primarily for transmission and distribution system reliability. This does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of $109$24 million, which are included in operating cash flows.
Power
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, Power made capital expenditures of $767$274 million, excluding $15633 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. 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, some of which qualify for hedge accounting.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 JulyJanuary through September 2016,March 2017, MTM VaR remained relatively stable between a low of $11$7 million toand a high of $16$25 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrower for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
PSEG, PSE&G and 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 Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated, Public Service ElectricPSEG, PSE&G and Gas Company and PSEG Power LLC.Power. The committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The CFO and CEO of each of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated, Public Service ElectricPSEG, PSE&G and Gas Company and PSEG Power LLC 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 Power
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 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 regulatory matters in the ordinary course of business. For additional information regarding material legal proceedings, including updates to information reported in Item 3 of Part I of the 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, see Part I, Item 1. Note 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities and Item 5. Other Information.
Ewing Explosion
In February 2014, pursuant to an existing contract, PSE&G assigned Henkels and McCoy (Henkels) to replace the electrical service at a home in the South Fork Townhouse Community in Ewing Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. In March 2014, after Henkels began work to install new electric service, a gas explosion occurred in the townhouse community resulting in damage to numerous properties, personal injuries and one fatality.
Twenty-two lawsuits have been filed to date relating to the gas explosion, of which PSE&G was named as a defendant in nineteen cases. To date, six of these cases have resolved through private negotiations and/or mediation. In one of the remaining pending matters, plaintiffs representing the estate of the decedent are seeking damages under the New Jersey Wrongful Death Act and the New Jersey Survivors Act as well as punitive damages. PSE&G has denied all allegations of liability. We intend to continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits. At this stage of the litigation, we are unable to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the remaining lawsuits.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
There are no additional Risk Factors toThe discussion of our business and operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be added to those disclosedread together with the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K, which describe 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. Except as follows, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced filing as of March 31, 2017.


We may be unable to obtain an adequate fuel supply in the future.
We obtain substantially all of our physical natural gas, coal and nuclear fuel supply from third parties pursuant to arrangements that vary in term, pricing structure, firmness and delivery flexibility. Our fuel supply arrangements must be coordinated with transportation agreements, balancing agreements, storage services, financial hedging transactions and other contracts to ensure that the natural gas, coal and nuclear fuel are delivered to our power plants at the times, in the quantities and otherwise in a manner that meets the needs of our generation portfolio and our customers. We must also comply with laws and regulations governing the transportation of such fuels.
Additionally, the PJM power market has recently experienced an increase in natural gas-fired generation assets that supply electricity to the region. As a result, there has been a corresponding increase in the need for natural gas transportation assets to serve power generation assets. When extreme cold temperatures significantly increase the demand for natural gas used for residential heating, it can also create constraints on natural gas pipelines that serve power generation assets. When these conditions exist, it could interrupt the fuel supply to our natural gas-fired power plants in the PJM power market.
We are exposed to increases in the price of natural gas, coal and nuclear fuel, and it is possible that sufficient supplies to operate our generating facilities profitably may not continue to be available to us. Significant changes in the price of natural gas, coal and nuclear fuel could affect our future results and impact our liquidity needs. In addition, we face risks with regard to the delivery to, and the use of natural gas, coal and nuclear fuel by, our power plants including the following:
transportation may be unavailable if pipeline infrastructure is damaged or disabled;
pipeline tariff changes may adversely affect our ability to, or cost to, deliver such fuels;
creditworthiness of third-party suppliers, defaults by third-party suppliers on supply obligations and our ability to replace supplies currently under contract may delay or prevent timely delivery;
market liquidity for physical supplies of such fuels or availability of related services (e.g. storage) may be insufficient or available only at prices that are not acceptable to us;
variation in the quality of such fuels may adversely affect our power plant operations;
legislative or regulatory actions or requirements, including those related to pipeline integrity inspections, may increase the cost of such fuels;
fuel supplies diverted to residential heating may limit the availability of such fuels for our power plants; and
the loss of critical infrastructure, terrorist attacks (including cybersecurity breaches) or catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods, severe storms or other similar occurrences could impede the delivery of such fuels.
Our nuclear units have a diversified portfolio of contracts and inventory that provide a substantial portion of our fuel raw material needs over the next several years. However, each of our nuclear units has contracted with a single fuel fabrication services provider, and transitioning to an alternative provider could take an extended period of time. Certain of our other generation facilities also require fuel or other services that may only be available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The availability and price of this fuel may vary due to supplier financial or operational disruptions, transportation disruptions and force majeure. At times, such fuel may not be available at any price, or we may not be able to transport it to our facilities on a timely basis. In this case, we may not be able to run those facilities even if it would be profitable. If we had sold forward the power from such a facility, we could be required to supply or purchase power from alternate sources, perhaps at a loss. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, the financial results of specific plants and on our results of operations.
In March 2017, Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York. WEC provides nuclear fuel fabrication services for Salem Units 1 and 2. In the event that WEC is unable to continue to provide fabrication services, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to find alternative providers of such services in a timely manner or on acceptable terms. As a result, a failure by WEC to perform its obligations during the pendency of, or following its emergence from, bankruptcy could have a material adverse impact on our business, the financial results of specific plants and on our results of operations.
Although our fuel contract portfolio provides a degree of hedging against these market risks, such hedging may not be effective and future increases in our fuel costs could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. While our generation runs on a mix of fuels, primarily natural gas and nuclear fuel, an increase in the cost of any particular fuel ultimately used could impact our results of operations.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Certain information reported in the 20152016 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 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016.10-K. References are to the related pages on the Forms 10-K and 10-Q as printed and distributed.

Capacity Market Issues-PJMIssues
December 31, 20152016 Form 10-K page 17, March 31, 2016 Form 10-Q page 7016. PJM, NYISO and June 30, 2016 Form 10-Q page 80. Over the past several years, certain entities in PJM, namely, FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) and American Electric Power (AEP)ISO-NE each have capacity markets that have been lookingapproved by FERC. FERC regulates these markets and continues to examine whether the Ohio Public Utility Commission (PUCO) to provide financialmarket design for each of these three capacity markets is working optimally. Issues presented in various forums include consideration of whether the competitive market framework can be reconciled with state public policies that support arrangements for their coal plants and a nuclear plant (FE). FE and AEP originally proposed to enter into power purchase agreements (PPAs) with their non-utility generation affiliates providing for above-market purchases from certain coal plants and a nuclear plant (in FE's case). The PUCO Staff proposed a payment to support modernization of the distribution system (distribution modernization rider) in the FE case which was ultimately accepted by the PUCO. The Dayton Power and Light Company also recently filed for a distribution modernization rider for the generating plants that it owns.  
The PUCO proceedings created a concern that subsidized units within the PJM footprint would submit bidsparticular resources or resource attributes, whether generators are being sufficiently compensated in the capacity market and whether subsidized resources may be adversely affecting capacity market prices. We cannot predict what action, if any, FERC might take with regard to capacity market designs.
Capacity Market Issues—PJM
December 31, 2016 Form 10-K page 16. During 2015, PJM implemented a new “Capacity Performance” (CP) mechanism that created a more robust capacity product with enhanced incentives for performance during emergency conditions and significant penalties for non-performance. However, aspects of FERC’s order are currently pending appeal in the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (D.C. Circuit). The CP product will be implemented fully for the 2020-2021 Delivery Year. FERC has approved changes to the CP construct that will enhance the participation of intermittent and DR resources (“seasonal resources”). Specifically, FERC approved PJM’s modifications to the aggregation rules to improve the ability of seasonal resources to participate. However, two complaints remain pending that ask FERC to investigate the rules governing the participation of seasonal resources and extend the participation of the base resources for future auctions. We do not reflectiveexpect action on the complaints before the upcoming base residual auction in May 2017.
Capacity Market Issues—ISO-NE
December 31, 2016 Form 10-K page 17. ISO-NE’s market for installed capacity in New England provides fixed capacity payments for generators, imports and DR. The market design consists of a forward-looking auction for installed capacity that is intended to recognize the locational value of resources on the system and contains incentive mechanisms to encourage availability during stressed system conditions. ISO-NE also employs a mechanism, similar to PJM’s CP mechanism, that provides incentives for performance and that imposes charges for non-performance during times of system stress. We view this mechanism as generally positive for generating resources as providing more robust income streams. However, it also imposes additional financial risk for non-performance. One aspect of the current market design that we do not support and are currently challenging in the D.C. Circuit is the exemption from the MOPR in the capacity market afforded for up to 200 MW annually (600 MW cumulatively) of renewable resources.
Price Formation Initiatives
December 31, 2016 Form 10-K page 18. Power has been actively involved both through stakeholder processes and through filings at FERC in seeking improvements to the rules for setting prices for energy in the day-ahead and real-time markets administered by PJM and other system operators. FERC recently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) proposing that RTOs/ISOs modify their actualrules governing fast-start resources. Fast-start resources typically are committed in real-time, very

close to the interval when needed and can respond quickly to unforeseen system needs. However, without fast-start pricing, some fast-start resources are ineligible to set prices due to inflexible operating costs and would, in turn, artificially suppress capacity prices.limits. As a result, prices may not reflect the marginal cost of serving load. In a separate proceeding, PJM has submitted a proposal at FERC’s request to modify its rules to allow market sellers to submit day-ahead offers that vary by hour and to allow market sellers to update their offers in real time on an hourly basis under certain parties requestedcircumstances. FERC has accepted PJM’s proposal which will become effective on November 1, 2017. We believe that FERC should direct PJM to expandboth changes will improve price formation in the “minimum offer price rule” to apply to existing units.   
We are unable to predict the results of these pending proceedings or any future related proceedings or to calculate the potential impacts on our business.
Transmission Regulation
December 31, 2015 Form 10-K page 19energy and June 30, 2016 Form 10-Q page 80. In October 2016,PSE&G filed its 2017 Annual Formula Rate Update with FERC which requests approximately $121 million in increased annual transmission revenues effective January 1, 2017, subject to true-up. For additional information about our transmission formula rate, see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Information—Note 5. Recent Rate Filings.ancillary services markets.

FERC concluded in Order 1000 that the incumbent transmission owner should not always have a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) to construct and own transmission projects in its service territory. We and other companies appealed various aspects of the FERC order approving PJM’s implementation of Order 1000, including the elimination of the ROFR from the PJM Tariff. In July 2016, the D.C. Court dismissed the case, thus upholding FERC’s determination. We have decided not to pursue further action on this decision.
In April 2016, PSE&G accepted construction responsibility for the three components of the transmission project involving upgrades at Artificial Island in New Jersey. On August 5, 2016, PJM announced that it hashad suspended the Artificial Island transmission project and iswould be performing a comprehensive analysis to determinesupport a future course of action, whichaction. In March 2017, PJM staff made its final recommendation to the PJM Board with respect to the project. Under the recommended project, PSE&G will construct necessary upgrade work in Hope Creek, at a cost of approximately $130 million. In April 2017, the PJM Board announced that it would be lifting the suspension and approved the staff recommended project. The PJM Board also stated that it would be analyzing project beneficiaries from an alternate perspective to potentially devise an alternative cost allocation methodology for stability projects.
Transmission RegulationCon Edison Wheeling Agreement
December 31, 2016 Form 10-K page 19. In April 2016, Con Edison informed PJM that it would allow its Wheeling Agreement to expire effective as of May 1, 2017. The Wheeling Agreement enables Con Edison to move 1,000 MW of power from southeastern New York across the PSE&G system for delivery into New York City. NYISO and PJM submitted proposed tariff provisions in January 2017. The proposal concerns future operational procedures and transmission planning assumptions associated with the affected transmission lines. FERC accepted the proposal, subject to refund, effective May 1, 2017. We cannot predict the impact of the proposal on energy prices or transmission planning at this time. Both PSE&G and the BPU protested certain aspects of the proposal. In a related filing, PJM submitted a proposal to FERC revising the cost responsibility assigned to certain entities, including PSE&G, due to the termination of the Wheeling Agreement. Also, PSE&G will continue to recover the costs associated with the new arrangement through its formula rate. We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
State Regulation
Energy Efficiency Program (Energy Efficiency 2017)
In March 2017, we filed a petition with the BPU for our Energy Efficiency 2017 program, requesting extension of three Energy Efficiency Economic sub-programs (multi-family, direct install and hospital efficiency) and the addition of two new sub-programs (smart thermostat and residential data analytics). The petition requested additional capital expenditures of approximately $74 million, additional administrative and other costs of $22 million and information technology system enhancement costs of $3 million. We proposed to recover our investment in these sub-programs under the same clause recovery process as currently approved. This matter is pending.

Steam Electric Effluent Guidelines
December 31, 2016 Form 10-K page 23. 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. The EPA provides an implementation period for currently existing discharges of three years or up to eight years if a facility needs more time to implement equipment upgrades and provide supporting information to its permitting authority. In the intervening time period, existing discharge standards continue to apply. Power’s Bridgeport Harbor station and the jointly-

Keystone and Conemaugh also have flue gas desulfurization wastewaters regulated by the PJM Transmission Owners with respect to their compliance with a previous FERC order (Order 890) that requires transparency in the transmission planning process. The order directs PJM and PJM Transmission Owners to propose revisions to the PJM governing documents to ensure compliance with Order 890 or show cause why they should not do so. The PJM Transmission Owners jointly filed for rehearing of the order to show cause and jointly responded to FERC’s directives. FERCrule. Power is also evaluating issues related to competitive transmission development processes, including the use of cost containment provisions.

In April 2017, the EPA announced that it had granted a petition for reconsideration of the ELG Rule and is acting promptly to issue an administrative stay of the compliance dates in the rule that have not yet passed pending judicial review. The deadlines that are expected to be stayed include the BAT limitations and pretreatment standards for each of the following waste streams:  fly ash transport water, bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization wastewater, flue gas mercury control wastewater, and gasification wastewater.

December 31, 20152016 Form 10-K page 24.In September 2016,April 2014, the EPA Administrator and the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) jointly published a proposed rule to clarify the definition of waters of the United States under the CWA programs in order to protect the streams and wetlands that form the foundation of the nation’s water resources. This definition will have broad application to all areas of compliance under the CWA, including permitted discharges and construction activities. The final rule was published in June 2015 and various states, industry coalitions and environmental organizations have initiated legal action related to the provisions of the final CSAPR Updating Rulerule as well as which court has jurisdiction over the rule.
