PSE&G is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PSE&G also invests in regulated solar generation projects and energy efficiency and related programs in New Jersey, which are regulated by the BPU.

Fuel Inventory
Fuel inventory at PSEG Power is valued at the lower of average cost or market and includes stored natural gas, coal, fuel oil and propane used to generate power and to satisfy obligations under PSEG Power’s gas supply contracts with PSE&G. The costs of fuel, including initial transportation costs, are included in inventory when purchased and charged to Energy Costs when used or sold.
In the first quarter of 2020, PSEG Power recorded a $20 million lower of cost or market (LOCOM) adjustment to its fuel oil inventory due to the significant decline in market pricing. In the second quarter of 2020, PSEG Power reversed $9 million of the LOCOM adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2020 due to recovery in the market price of oil. No adjustment was recorded in the third quarter of 2020. PSEG Power may continue to reverse the LOCOM adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2020, limited to the adjustment recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020, if oil market pricing has additional recovery within the 2020 calendar year. However, downward adjustments in future quarters may be required if the market price of oil declines.
Property, Plant and Equipment
PSEG Power capitalizes costs, including those related to its jointly-owned facilities that increase the capacity, improve or extend the life of an existing asset; represent a newly acquired or constructed asset; or represent the replacement of a retired asset. The cost of maintenance, repair and replacement of minor items of property is charged to appropriate expense accounts as incurred. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination or if the costs improve existing assets’ environmental safety or efficiency. All other environmental expenditures are expensed as incurred. PSEG Power also capitalizes spare parts that meet specific criteria. Capitalized spares are depreciated over the remaining lives of their associated assets.
In March 2020,April 2021, the NRC approved Peach Bottom’s second license extensionBPU awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) to PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants for both units.an additional three years through May 2025. Concurrent with the license extensions,BPU’s decision, PSEG Power has extended the useful life of the asset to match the 80-year life expectation and reassessed the related Asset Retirement Cost (ARC) and Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) assumptions.assumptions related to the Salem and Hope Creek units. This resulted in an increase to the ARC asset and ARO liability of $74$51 million, primarily due to lower discount rates offset by a longer discounting period as a result of the Peach Bottom units’ longer expected useful life.

and higher inflation. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for additional information on ZECs.

for-sale debt securities are measured in a manner similar to current GAAP; however, this standard requires those credit losses be presented as an allowance, rather than a write-down. This new standard also requires additional disclosures of the allowance for credit losses by financial asset type, including disclosures of credit quality indicators for each class of financial asset disaggregated by year of origination.interim tax reporting.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2020. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 20202021. PSEG has elected to allocate the consolidated tax expense to all eligible entities that are included in a consolidated tax filing on a modified retrospectiveprospective basis. Upon adoption, PSE&G recorded an increase of $8 million toThis election is consistent with PSEG’s Tax Sharing Agreements with its allowance for credit losses, offset by a $6 million increase to Regulatory and Other Assets, and a $2 million cumulative effect charge to Retained Earnings. See Note 3. Revenues. There was no impact from adoption of this standard on the financial statements of PSEG Power.
Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value MeasurementASU 2018-13
This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Certain current disclosure requirements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements, and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements have been eliminated. The standard also adds certain other disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. Certain amendments in the standard have been applied prospectively in 2020. All other amendments of the standard were applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service ContractASU 2018-15
This accounting standard aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. The standard follows the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 350—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The standard requires the amortization of capitalized costs to be presented in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense. In addition, the standard also adds presentation requirements for these costs in the statements of cash flows and financial position.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2020. PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power do not expect a material impact on their respective financial statements.
Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (VIE)ASU 2018-17
This accounting standard improves the VIE guidance in the area of decision-making fees. Consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE, indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements are considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.
This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard is required to be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2020.affiliated subsidiaries. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG, PSE&G, and PSEG Power.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentASU 2017-04
This accounting standard requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
This standard requires application on a prospective basis and disclosure of 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. PSEG early adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2019, and recorded an impairment loss of $16 million in O&M Expense.
Codification Improvements to Financial InstrumentsASU 2020-03
This accounting standard provides clarification of guidance for financial instruments and makes narrow scope amendments related to various issues. PSEG adopted this standard effective upon issuance. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power.

Clarifying the Interactions between Investments-Equity Securities, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and HedgingASU 2020-01
This accounting standard clarifies that an entity should consider transaction prices for purposes of measuring the fair value of certain equity securities immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own EquityASU 2020-06
This accounting standard simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the ASU eliminates certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. The ASU also revises the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets.

Note 3. Revenues
Nature of Goods and Services
The following is a description of principal activities by reportable segment from which PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power generate their revenues.
PSE&G
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electric and Gas Distribution and Transmission Revenues—PSE&G sells gas and electricity to customers under default commodity supply tariffs. PSE&G’s regulated electric and gas default commodity supply and distribution services are separate tariffs which are satisfied as the product(s) and/or service(s) are delivered to the customer. The electric and gas commodity and delivery tariffs are recurring contracts in effect until modified through the regulatory approval process as appropriate. Revenue is recognized over time as the service is rendered to the customer. Included in PSE&G’s regulated revenues are unbilled electric and gas revenues which represent the estimated amount customers will be billed for services rendered from the most recent meter reading to the end of the respective accounting period.
PSE&G’s transmission revenues are earned under a separate tariff using a FERC-approved annual formula rate mechanism. The performance obligation of transmission service is satisfied and revenue is recognized as it is provided to the customer. The formula rate mechanism provides for an annual filing of an estimated revenue requirement with rates effective January 1 of each year and a true-up to that estimate based on actual revenue requirements. The true-up mechanism is an alternative revenue which is outside the scope of revenue from contracts with customers.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Other revenues from contracts with customers, which are not a material source of PSE&G revenues, are generated primarily from appliance repair services and solar generation projects. The performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of products is delivered or services are rendered.
Payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due on average within 30 days of delivery.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Other PSE&G revenues unrelated to contracts with customers are derived from alternative revenue mechanisms recorded pursuant to regulatory accounting guidance. These revenues, which include the Conservation Incentive Program, weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues.
PSEG Power
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electricity and Related Products—Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) and ancillary services representing PSEG Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. PSEG Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. PSEG Power generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity.
PSEG Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, PSEG Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is reported on a gross basis and recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity.
In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs)ZECs by the BPU. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs by the BPU for the three year eligibility period starting June 2022. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the

2022, from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the units generate electricity, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are included in PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) Sales in the following tables. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for additional information.
Gas Contracts—PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full-requirements Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) contract with PSE&G to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s customers. The BGSS contract remains in effect unless terminated by either party with a two-year notice. The performance obligation is primarily delivery of gas which is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized as gas is delivered. Based upon the availability of natural gas, storage and pipeline capacity beyond PSE&G’s daily needs, PSEG Power also sells gas and pipeline capacity to other counterparties under bilateral contracts. The performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time upon delivery of the gas or capacity, and revenue is recognized accordingly.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Prior to the sale of PSEG Solar Source LLC (Solar Source), PSEG Power entersentered into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms rangeranged from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations arewere generally solar power and RECs which arewere transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue iswas recognized upon generation of the solar power. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments.
PSEG Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
PSEG Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. Prior to the sale of Solar Source, PSEG Power iswas also a party to solar contracts that qualifyqualified as leases and arewere accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments.
Other
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance.

Contract Balances
PSE&G
PSE&G did not have any material contract balances (rights to consideration for services already provided or obligations to provide services in the future for consideration already received) as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Substantially all of PSE&G’s accounts receivable and unbilled revenues result from contracts with customers that are priced at tariff rates. Allowances represented approximately 12%18% and 6%14% of accounts receivable (including unbilled revenues in 2020)revenues) as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there was no allowance for unbilled revenues. Effective January 1, 2020, PSE&G adopted ASU 2016-13 and recorded an allowance for unbilled revenues. See Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.
Accounts ReceivableAllowance for Credit Losses
PSE&G’s accounts receivable, including unbilled revenues, is primarily comprised of utility customer receivables for the provision of electric and gas service and appliance services, and are reported in the balance sheet as gross outstanding amounts adjusted for an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses reflects PSE&G’s best estimate of losses on the account balances. The allowance is based on PSE&G’s projection of accounts receivable aging, historical experience, economic factors and other currently available evidence, including the estimated impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on the outstanding balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. PSE&G’s electric bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause mechanism. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSE&G deferred approximately $19 million of incremental gas bad debt expense for future regulatory recovery due to the impact of the ongoing pandemic. See Note 6. Rate Filings for additional information.

PSEG Power
PSEG Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, PSEG Power had no material contract balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.
PSEG Power’s accounts receivable include amounts resulting from contracts with customers and other contracts which are out of scope of accounting guidance for revenues from contracts with customers. The majority of these accounts receivable are subject to master netting agreements. As a result, accounts receivable resulting from contracts with customers and receivables unrelated to contracts with customers are netted within Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
PSEG Power’s accounts receivable consist mainly of revenues from wholesale load contracts and capacity sales which are executed in the different ISO regions. PSEG Power also sells energy and ancillary services directly to ISOs and other counterparties. In the wholesale energy markets in which PSEG Power operates, payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of delivery. As such, there is little credit risk associated with these receivables. PSEG Power did not record an allowance for credit losses for these receivables as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. PSEG Power monitors the status of its counterparties on an ongoing basis to assess whether there are any anticipated credit losses.
Other
PSEG LI did not have any material contract balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.
Remaining Performance Obligations under Fixed Consideration Contracts
PSEG Power and PSE&G primarily record revenues as allowed by the guidance, which states that if an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, the entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. PSEG has future performance obligations under contracts with fixed consideration as follows:

Nuclear
In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs by the BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear plants and recovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour (KWh) used (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) generated in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). TheseEach nuclear plants areplant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022.
In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs for the three-year eligibility period starting June 2022 at the same approximate $10 per MWh received during the current ZEC period through May 2022 referenced above. As a result, each nuclear plant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for an additional three years starting June 2022. The terms and will be obligatedconditions of this April 2021 ZEC award are the same as the current ZEC period as discussed above.
The award of ZECs attaches certain obligations, including an obligation to maintainrepay the ZECs in the event that a plant ceases operations during the period that period,it was awarded ZECs, subject to certain exceptions specified in the ZEC legislation. PSEG Power has and will continue to recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. TheFurther, the ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU (a) at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source or (b) at certain times specified in the ZEC legislation if the BPU determines that the purposes of the ZEC legislation can be achieved through a reduced charge that will nonetheless be sufficient to achieve the state’s air quality and other environmental objectives by preventing the retirement of nuclear plants.source. For instance, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (New Jersey Rate Counsel), in written comments filed with the BPU, has advocated for the BPU to offset market benefits resulting from New Jersey’s rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative from the ZEC payment. PSEG intends to vigorously defend against these arguments. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

In October 2020, PSEG Power filed with the BPU its ZEC applications for Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek for the three-year eligibility period starting in June 2022. No other plants applied for ZECs for this eligibility period. The BPU’s schedule to consider these applications includes the BPU Staff issuing their preliminary findings regarding ZEC eligibility and the value of ZEC payments for this period in December 2020, followed by public and evidentiary hearings and a final BPU decision by April 2021. PSEG Power is not aware of any changes from its ZEC application for the first eligibility period that would materially affect its ability to establish eligibility to be awarded ZECs during the second eligibility period.

performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of Servco that could potentially be significant to Servco. Such losses would be immaterial to PSEG.
Pursuant to the OSA, Servco’s operating costs are paid entirely by LIPA, and therefore, PSEG LI’s risk is limited related to the activities of Servco. PSEG LI has no current obligation to provide direct financial support to Servco. In addition to payment of Servco’s operating costs as provided for in the OSA, PSEG LI receives an annual contract management fee. PSEG LI’s annual contractual management fee, in certain situations, could be partially offset by Servco’s annual storm costs not approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, limited contingent liabilities and penalties for failing to meet certain performance metrics.
For transactions in which Servco acts as principal and controls the services provided to LIPA, such as transactions with its employees for labor and labor-related activities, including pension and OPEB-related transactions, Servco records revenues and the related pass-through expenditures separately in Operating Revenues and O&MOperation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense, respectively. Servco recorded $145$129 million and $124$125 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $397 million2020, respectively, and $357$252 million for each of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019, respectively,2020, of O&M costs, the full reimbursement of which was reflected in Operating Revenues. For transactions in which Servco acts as an agent for LIPA, it records revenues and the related expenses on a net basis, resulting in no impact on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 6. Rate Filings
This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 7. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
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 are as follows:
COVID-19 Deferral—BGSS—In July 2020,March 2021, the BPU authorized regulated utilitiesgave final approval to PSE&G’s request to maintain the current BGSS rate of 32 cents per therm which had been provisionally approved effective October 1, 2020.
In June 2021, PSE&G made its annual BGSS filing with the BPU requesting to maintain the current BGSS rate of 32 cents. If approved, the BGSS rate would remain in the Stateplace beginning October 1, 2021. This matter is pending.
Community Solar Energy Pilot (CSEP) Program—In May 2021, PSE&G made its initial filing for recovery of New Jersey to create a COVID-19-related Regulatory Asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the CSEP program. New Jersey governor determinesJersey’s Clean Energy Act provided for the establishment of a "Community Solar Energy Pilot Program” which permits electric customers to participate in a solar energy project that is remotely located from their properties but is within their electric public utility service territory. The program allows for a credit to the Public Health Emergency is no longer in effect, orcustomer's utility bill equal to the electricity generated attributable to the customer's participation in the absencesolar energy project. PSE&G’s filing proposes to recover an initial revenue requirement of such a determination, 60 days from$0.4 million associated with the time the Public Health Emergency automatically terminates by law, whichever is later. Deferred costs should be offset by any federal or state assistance that the utility may receiveCSEP Program as a direct resultnew component of the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilities must file quarterly reports of the costs incurred and offsets. In October 2020, the BPU broadened the scope of the docket to include all pandemic issues in a generic proceeding that will include submission of public comments and consideration of, among other things, the timing and scope of current and planned clean energy programs. other utility filings and mechanisms; utility financial strength; customer concerns; regulatory compliance and priorities; and ensuring the continued provision of safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates, while recognizing the ramifications from the COVID-19 pandemic.PSE&G’s existing electric Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC). This matter is pending.
Each New Jersey utility regulated by the BPU must file a petition documenting its prudently incurred incremental COVID-19 costs by December 31, 2021, or within 60 days of the close of the Regulatory Asset period as described above, whichever is later. Any potential rate recovery, including any prudency determinations and the appropriate period of recovery, will be addressed through that filing, or in the alternative, the utility may request that the BPU defer consideration of rate recovery for a future base rate case.
Deferral—PSE&G has made twocontinues to make quarterly filings as required by the BPU and has recorded a Regulatory Asset as of June 30, 2021 of approximately $82 million for net incremental costs, including $42 million for incremental gas bad debt expense associated with customer accounts receivable, which PSE&G expects are probable of recovery under the BPU order. In July2021, PSE&G, joined by other New Jersey gas distribution companies, made a filing with the BPU noting that the current deferral period, which ends on September 30, 2021, does not allow for proper consideration and inclusion of all incremental COVID-19 related expenses in the Regulatory Asset, and requesting that the Board extend the deferral period through the end of 2023.This matter is pending.
Energy Strong (ES) II—In April 2021, the BPU approved PSE&G’s filing for a $13 million revenue increase under this investment program, effective May 2021. This increase represents the return on and of ES II electric investments placed in service through January 2021.
GPRC—In June 2021, the BPU approved as final the GPRC rates approved by the Board on a provisional basis in January 2021. In July 2021, PSE&G filed its 2021 GPRC cost recovery petition requesting BPU approval to recover a $2 million increase in each of electric and gas base rates annual revenues. This matter is pending.
Gas System Modernization ProgramII (GSMP II)—In May 2021, the BPU approved PSE&G’s December 2020 cost recovery petition to recover in gas base rates an annual revenue increase of approximately $21 million effective June 1, 2021. This increase represents the return on and of GSMP II investments placed in service through February 2021.
In June 2021, PSE&G filed a GSMP II cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover in gas base rates an estimated annual revenue increase of $34 million effective December 1, 2021. This increase represents the return on and of GSMP II investments expected to be in service through August 31, 2021. This request will be updated in September 2021 for actual costs.
Remediation Adjustment Charge (RAC)—In July 2021, the BPU approved PSE&G’s RAC 28 filing requesting recovery of approximately $35 million in the third quarter of 2020 for net incremental costs which PSE&G believes are recoverable under the BPU order.manufactured gas plant remediation expenditures incurred from August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020.
Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency (CEF-EE), a New Component of the Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC)Transmission Formula RatesIn SeptemberJune 2021, PSE&G filed its 2020 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for 2020. This filing resulted in an additional annual revenue requirement of $13 million more than the 2020
originally filed revenue.
In July 2021, PSE&G filed for FERC’s approval of a settlement agreement effective August 1, 2021 reached with the BPU approvedStaff and the Rate Counsel with respect to the level of PSE&G’s CEF-EE filing which provides for energy efficient investments of $1 billion over a three-year period. Costs will be recovered through the GPRC, with returns aligned with PSE&G’s most recent base rate casetransmission return on equity (ROE) and a ten-year amortization period.
The approval also included a Conservation Incentive Program (CIP), amechanism that will provide for recovery of lost electric and gas variable margin revenues. The CIP is effective in June 2021 for electric and October 2021 for gas. PSE&G will suspend its gas Weather Normalization Charge (WNC) when the gas CIP deferral period begins.
Transition Incentive Program, a New Component of the GPRC—In 2019, the BPU approved an order establishing a Transition Incentive Program to serve as a bridge between the existing Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program and a to-be-established successor program and created a new incentive mechanism known as the Transition Renewable Energy Certificate (TRECs) Program. TRECs will be awarded to qualifying solar projects under the new program. In the TREC Order, the BPU directed the New Jersey EDCs to engage a TREC Administrator to acquire, on behalf of the EDCs, TRECs producedother formula

The settlement reduces PSE&G’s base ROE from 11.18% to 9.9% and provides that the settling parties will be funded through a TREC chargenot seek changes to electric customers collected by the EDCs. The order allows the EDCs to recover their costs associated with the TREC program in an annual filing, subject to approval by the BPU. 
In August 2020, the BPU approved PSE&G’s request for increased rates of approximately $23 million annually for recovery of its expected share of TREC costs. These costs will be recovered as a new component of PSE&G’s existing electric GPRC, which is updated on an annual basis.
GPRC—In June 2020, PSE&G filed its 2020 GPRC cost recovery petition requesting recovery of approximately $67 million and $20 million in electric and gas revenues, respectively, on an annual basis. This matter is pending.
Transmission Formula Rates—In October 2020, PSE&G filed its 2020 Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update with FERC which will result in $119 million in increased annual transmission revenue effective January 1, 2021, subject to true-up.
In June 2020, PSE&G filed its 2019 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effectrate for 2019. This filing resulted in an additional annual revenue requirement of $24 million more than the 2019 originally filed revenue.
In April 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a Private Letter Ruling (PLR) to PSE&G concluding that certain excess deferred taxes previously classified as protected should be classified as unprotected. Unprotected excess deferred income taxes are not subject to the normalization rules allowing them to be refunded to customers sooner as agreed to with FERC and the BPU. In July 2020, FERC approved PSE&G’s request to allow the entire amount of these unprotected excess deferred income taxes be returned to customers in the 2019 true-up filing. As a result of the FERC approval, PSE&G recorded a revenue reduction of approximately $38 million in the third quarter of 2020, fully offset by a reduction in Income Tax Expense. The refund will be provided to transmission ratepayers as a reduction to the 2021 transmission rates.
Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS)—In September 2020, the BPU provisionally approved PSE&G’s request to maintain the current BGSS rate of 32 cents. This rate is subject to final approval.
Gas System Modernization Program II (GSMP II)—In July 2020, the BPU approved PSE&G’s GSMP II cost recovery petition requesting approximately $18 million in gas revenues on an annual basis, which included GSMP II investments in service as of February 29, 2020. The increase was effective July 16, 2020.
In September 2020, PSE&G updated its GSMP II cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover in gas base rates an estimated annual revenue increase of approximately $20 million effective December 1, 2020. This increase represents the return on and of GSMP II investments placed in service through August 31, 2020.three years. This matter is pending.
Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC)Weather Normalization Charge (WNC)In October 2020,June 2021, PSE&G madefiled its annual 2020 TAC filing. The TAC allows for the flowback2021-2022 WNC petition seeking to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rates provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) as well as the accumulated deferred income taxes from previously realized tax repair deductions and tax benefits from future tax repair deductions as realized. The 2020 TAC filing requests BPU approvalrefund $2 million to reduce electric revenues by approximately $23 million and increase gas revenues by $49 million on an annual basis starting January 1, 2021. This matter is pending.
In July 2020, the BPU gave final approval to PSE&G’s 2019TAC filing that had been approved on a provisional basis in January 2020, with additional credits included in the final ruling. The final approval resulted in a reduction to electric and gas revenues of $25 million and $29 million, respectively, on an annual basis, effective July 16, 2020.
As discussed above, PSE&G received a PLR from the IRS in April 2020 that concluded thatcertain excess deferred taxes previously classified as protected should be classified as unprotected. Unprotected excess deferred income taxes are not subject to the tax normalization rules allowing them to be refunded to customers sooner as agreed to with the BPU. As part of a procedural discovery to obtain the BPU’s final approval, PSE&G proposed that it change its current provisional TAC rates to increase the credit and start flowing back these unprotected amounts starting in July 2020 through December 31, 2024, which the BPU approved. This resulted in a total additional credit to electric and gas customers of $50 million and $46 million, respectively, of which $10 million and $19 million will be flowed back in 2020 for electric and gas, respectively.
WNC—In September 2020, the BPU approved a provisional rate effective October 1, 2020 for the collection of $10 million from customers over the 2020-2021 Winter Period forPeriod. The overcollection will be refunded to PSE&G gas customers during the estimated undercollection resulting from the warmer-than-normal 2019-20202021-2022 Winter Period. This matter is pending.
Remediation Adjustment Charge (RAC)—In September 2020, the BPU approved PSE&G’s RAC 27 filing requesting recovery of approximately $53 million in net manufactured gas plant remediation expenditures from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019.

PSE&G
PSE&G’s Solar Loan Programs are designed to help finance the installation of solar power systems throughout its electric service area. Interest income on the loans is recorded on an accrual basis. The loans are paid back with SRECs generated from the related installed solar electric system. PSE&G uses collection experience as a credit quality indicator for its Solar Loan Programs and conducts a comprehensive credit review for all prospective borrowers. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, none of the solar loans were impaired; however, in the event of a loan default or if a loan becomes impaired, the basis of the solar loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, none of the solar loans were delinquent and no loans are currently expected to become delinquent in light of the payment mechanism. Therefore, no current credit losses have been recorded for Solar Loan Programs I, II and III. A substantial portion of these amounts are noncurrent and reported in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s and PSE&G’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table reflects the outstanding loans by class of customer, none of which would be considered “non-performing.”

The average life of loans paid in full is eight years, which is lower than the loan terms of 10 to 15 years due to the generation of SRECs being greater than expected and/or cash payments made to the loan. Payments on all outstanding loans were current as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and have an average remaining life of approximately four years.
Energy Holdings
Energy Holdings, through several of its indirect subsidiaries, has investments in domestic energy and real estate assets subject primarily to leveraged lease accounting. A leveraged lease is typically comprised of an investment by an equity investor and debt provided by a third-party debt investor. The debt is recourse only to the assets subject to lease and is not included on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As an equity investor, Energy Holdings’ equity investments in the leases are comprised of the total expected lease receivables over the lease terms plus the estimated residual values at the end of the lease terms, reduced for any income not yet earned on the leases. This amount is included in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The more rapid depreciation of the leased property for tax purposes creates tax cash flow that will be repaid to the taxing authority in later periods. As such, the liability for such taxes due is recorded in Deferred Income Taxes on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the second quarterLeveraged leases outstanding as of 2020, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of estimated residual values embeddedJune 30, 2021 commenced in domestic energy leveraged leases and determined no impairments were necessary.

market conditions. As a result, a pre-tax write-down of $58 million was reflected in Operating Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, calculated by comparing the gross investment in the leases before and after the revised residual estimates.
In September 2020, wholly owned subsidiaries of PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (the Sellers) completed the sale to Midwest Generation, LLC (the Buyer) of the Sellers’ ownership interests in the Powerton and Joliet generation facilities and related assets, including the assumption by the Buyer of related liabilities.

The Shawville Units, wholly owned by PSEG, are 596 MW gas-fired assets located in Pennsylvania and Shawville Power, LLCMerrill Creek Reservoir. Metropolitan Edison Company (a subsidiary of First Energy) is the lease counterparty. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the gross investment in thethis lease of Shawville assets, net of non-recourse debt, was $72$24 million ($419 million, net of deferred taxes). The credit exposure for that lease is partially mitigated through a letter of credit supporting the lease payments that are required within the lease structure.
PSEG believesrecorded no credit losses are necessary for the leveraged leases existing on SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults, indirect subsidiaries of Energy Holdings would exercise their rights and seek recovery of their investment, potentially including stepping into the lease directly to protect their investments. While these actions could ultimately protect or mitigate the loss of value, they could require the use of significant capital and trigger certain material tax obligations which could, for certain leases, wholly or partially be mitigated by tax indemnification claims against the counterparty. A bankruptcy of a lessee would likely delay and potentially limit any efforts on the part of the lessors to assert their rights upon default and could delay the monetization of claims.
Additional factors that may impact future lease cash flows include, but are not limited to, new environmental legislation and regulation regarding air quality, water and other discharges in the process of generating electricity, market prices for fuel, electricity and capacity, overall financial condition of lease counterparties and their affiliates and the quality and condition of assets under lease.

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

PSEG Power periodically assesses individual debt securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are impaired. For these securities, management considers its intent to sell or requirement to sell a security prior to expected recovery. In those cases where a sale is expected, any impairment would be recorded through earnings. For fixed income securities where there is no intent to sell or likely requirement to sell, management evaluates whether credit loss is a component of the impairment. If so, that portion is recorded through earnings while the noncredit loss component is recorded through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Any subsequent recoveries of the noncredit loss component of the impairment would be recorded through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Any subsequent recoveries of the credit loss component would be recognized through earnings. The assessment of fair market value compared to cost is applied on a weighted average basis taking into account various purchase dates and initial cost of the securities.

Rabbi Trust
PSEG maintains certain unfunded nonqualified benefit plans to provide supplemental retirement and deferred compensation benefits to certain key employees. Certain assets related to these plans have been set aside in a grantor trust commonly known as a “Rabbi Trust.”

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

PSEG does not plan to contribute to its pension and OPEB plans in 2020. IRS minimum funding requirements for pension plans are determined based on the fund’s assets and liabilities at the end of a calendar year for the subsequent calendar year. As a result, the market downturn associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not expected to impact PSEG’s pension contributions in 2020.2021.
Servco Pension and OPEB
At the direction of LIPA, Servco sponsors benefit plans that cover its current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria. Under the OSA, all of these and any future employee benefit costs are to be funded by LIPA. See Note 5. Variable Interest Entity.Entities. These obligations, as well as the offsetting long-term receivable, are separately presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PSEG.
Servco amounts are not included in any of the preceding pension and OPEB cost disclosures. Pension and OPEB costs of Servco are accounted for according to the OSA. Servco recognizes expenses for contributions to its pension plan trusts and for OPEB payments made to retirees. Operating Revenues are recognized for the reimbursement of these costs. As of September 30, 2020, Servco completed its entire 2020 annual planned contributionplans to contribute $37 million into its pension plan. IRS minimum funding requirements for pension plans are determined based on the fund’s assetsplan during 2021.Servco’s pension-related revenues and liabilities at the end of a calendar yearcosts were $10 million and $7 million for the subsequent calendar year.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Guaranteed Obligations
PSEG Power’s activities primarily involve the purchase and sale of energy and related products under transportation, physical, financial and forward contracts at fixed and variable prices. These transactions are with numerous counterparties and brokers that may require cash, cash-related instruments or guarantees as a form of collateral.
PSEG Power has unconditionally guaranteed payments to counterparties on behalf of its subsidiaries in commodity-related transactions in order to
support current exposure, interest and other costs on sums due and payable in the ordinary course of business, and
obtain credit.
PSEG Power is subject to
counterparty collateral calls related to commodity contracts of its subsidiaries, and
certain creditworthiness standards as guarantor under performance guarantees of its subsidiaries.
Under these agreements, guarantees cover lines of credit between entities and are often reciprocal in nature. The exposure between counterparties can move in either direction.
In order for PSEG Power to incur a liability for the face value of the outstanding guarantees,
its subsidiaries would have to fully utilize the credit granted to them by every counterparty to whom PSEG Power has provided a guarantee, and
the net position of the related contracts would have to be “out-of-the-money” (if the contracts are terminated, PSEG Power would owe money to the counterparties).
PSEG Power believes the probability of this result is unlikely. For this reason, PSEG Power believes that the current exposure at any point in time is a more meaningful representation of the potential liability under these guarantees. Current exposure consists of the net of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the forward value on open positions, less any collateral posted.
Changes in commodity prices can have a material impact on collateral requirements under such contracts, which are posted and received primarily in the form of cash and letters of credit. PSEG Power also routinely enters into futures and options transactions for electricity and natural gas as part of its operations. These futures contracts usually require a cash margin deposit with brokers, which can change based on market movement and in accordance with exchange rules.
In addition to the guarantees discussed above, PSEG Power has also provided payment guarantees to third parties and regulatory authorities on behalf of its affiliated companies. These guarantees support various other non-commodity related obligations.

As part of determining credit exposure, PSEG Power nets receivables and payables with the corresponding net fair values of energy contracts. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. In accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, where it is applicable, cash (received)/deposited is allocated against derivative asset and liability positions with the same counterparty on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining balances of net cash (received)/deposited after allocation are generally included in Accounts Payable and Receivable, respectively.
In addition to amounts for outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions, PSEG and PSEG Power have posted letters of credit to support PSEG Power’s various other non-energy contractual and environmental obligations. See the preceding table.
Environmental Matters
Passaic River
Lower Passaic River Study Area    
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River (Lower Passaic River Study Area (LPRSA)) in New Jersey is a “Superfund” site under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). PSE&G and certain of its predecessors conducted operations at properties in this area, including at 1 site that was transferred to PSEG Power.
Certain Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), including PSE&G and PSEG Power, formed a Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study of the LPRSA. The CPG allocated, on an interim basis, the associated costs among its members. The interim allocation is subject to change. In June 2019, the EPA conditionally approved the CPG’s Remedial Investigation. In MayDecember 2020, the CPG submitted a revised draftEPA conditionally approved the CPG’s Feasibility Study (FS) to the EPA, which evaluated various adaptive management scenarios for the remediation of only the upper 9 miles of the LPRSA and incorporatedLPRSA. In April 2021, the EPA’s comments on an earlier FS draft. The EPA’sEPA announced the tentative selection of its preferred adaptive management scenario will be subject to public review and comment prior tofor the EPA’s announcement of aupper 9 miles from the options presented in the FS. A final selection which is expected in the latter half of 2021.
Separately, the EPA has released a Record of Decision (ROD) for the LPRSA’s lower 8.3 miles that requires the removal of sediments at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion (ROD Remedy). An EPA-commenced process to allocate the associated costs is underway and PSEG cannot predict the outcome. The allocation does not address certain costs incurred by the EPA for which they may be entitled to reimbursement and which may be material. Occidental Chemical Corporation, (OCC), one of the PRPs, has commenced the design of the ROD Remedy, but declined to participate in the allocation process. Instead, it filed suit against PSE&G and others seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA but has not quantified alleged damages. The litigation is ongoing and PSEG cannot predict the outcome.
Two PRPs, Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) and Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The trust representing the creditors in this proceeding has filed a complaint asserting claims against Tierra’s and Maxus’ current and former parent entities, among others. Any damages awarded may be used to fund the remediation of the LPRSA.

Table of Contents                    

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSEG has approximately $65$66 million accrued for this matter. Of this amount, PSE&G has an Environmental Costs Liability of $52$53 million and a corresponding Regulatory Asset based on its continued ability to recover such costs in its rates. PSEG Power has an Other Noncurrent Liability of $13 million.
The outcome of this matter is uncertain, and until (i) a final remedy for the entire LPRSA is selected and an agreement is reached by the PRPs to fund it, (ii) PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s respective shares of the costs are determined, and (iii) PSE&G’s ability to recover the costs in its rates is determined, it is not possible to predict this matter’s ultimate impact on PSEG’s financial statements. It is possible that PSE&G and PSEG Power will record additional costs beyond what they have accrued, and that such costs could be material, but PSEG cannot at the current time estimate the amount or range of any additional costs.
Natural Resource Damage Claims
New Jersey and certain federal regulators have alleged that PSE&G, PSEG Power and 56 other PRPs may be liable for natural resource damages within the LPRSA. In particular, PSE&G, PSEG Power and other PRPs received notice from federal regulators of the regulators’ intent to move forward with a series of studies assessing potential damages to natural resources at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, which includes the LPRSA and the Newark Bay Study Area. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of any possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
Newark Bay Study Area
The EPA has established the Newark Bay Study Area, which is an extension of the LPRSA and includes Newark Bay and portions of surrounding waterways. The EPA has notified PSEG and 11 other PRPs of their potential liability. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of any loss or possible range of loss related to this matter. In December 2018, PSEG Power completed the sale of the site of the Hudson electric generating station. PSEG Power contractually transferred all land rights and structures on the Hudson site to a third-party purchaser, along with the assumption of the environmental liabilities for the site.
Natural Resource Damage Claims
New Jersey and certain federal regulators have alleged that PSE&G, PSEG Power and 56 other PRPs may be liable for natural resource damages within the LPRSA. In particular, PSE&G, PSEG Power and other PRPs received notice from federal regulators of the regulators’ intent to move forward with a series of studies assessing potential damages to natural resources at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, which includes the LPRSA and the Newark Bay Study Area. PSE&G and PSEG Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of any possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Remediation Program
PSE&G is working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to assess, investigate and remediate environmental conditions at its former MGP sites. To date, 38 sites requiring some level of remedial action have been identified. Based on its current studies, PSE&G has determined that the estimated cost to remediate all MGP sites to completion could range between $339$271 million and $377$309 million on an undiscounted basis, through2023, including its $52$53 million share for the Passaic River as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $339$271 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Of this amount, $78$89 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $261$182 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $339$271 million Regulatory Asset with respect to these costs. PSE&G periodically updates its studies taking into account any new regulations or new information which could impact future remediation costs and adjusts its recorded liability accordingly. PSE&G is conductingcompleted sampling in the Passaic River to delineate coal tar from certain MGP sites that abut the Passaic River Superfund site. PSEG cannot determine at this time whether this will have anthe magnitude of any impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy.
Clean Water Act (CWA)CWA Section 316(b) Rule
The EPA’s CWA Section 316(b) rule establishes requirements for the regulation of cooling water intakes at existing power plants and industrial facilities with a design flow of more than two million gallons of water per day. The EPA requires that National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits be renewed every five years and that each state Permitting Director manage renewal permits for its respective power generation facilities on a case by case basis. The NJDEP manages the permits under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) program. Connecticut and New York also have permits to manage their respective pollutant discharge elimination system programs.
In June 2016, the NJDEP issued a final NJPDES permit for Salem. In July 2016, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network (Riverkeeper) filed an administrative hearing request challenging certain conditions of the permit, including the NJDEP’s application of the 316(b) rule. If the Riverkeeper’s challenge is successful, PSEG Power may be required to incur additional costs to comply with the CWA. Potential cooling water and/or service water system modification costs could be material and could adversely impact the economic competitiveness of this facility. The NJDEP had granted the hearing request but no hearing date has been established.
Jersey City, New Jersey Subsurface Feeder Cable Matter
In October 2016, a discharge of dielectric fluid from subsurface feeder cables located in the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, was identified and reported to the NJDEP. The feeder cables are located within a subsurface easement granted to PSE&G by the property owners, Newport Associates Development Company (NADC) and Newport Associates Phase I

Developer Limited Partnership. The feeder cables are subject to agreements between PSE&G and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) and are jointly owned by PSE&G and Con Edison. The impacted cable was repaired in September 2017. A federal response was initially led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard transitioned control of the federal response to the EPA, and the EPA ended the federal response to the matter in 2018. The investigation of small amounts of residual dielectric fluid believed to be contained with the marina sediment is ongoing as part of the NJDEP site remediation program. In August 2020, PSE&G finalized a settlement with the federal government regarding the reimbursement of costs associated with the federal response to this matter and payment of civil penalties of an immaterial amount.
A lawsuit in federal court is pending to determine ultimate responsibility for the costs to address the leak among PSE&G, Con Edison and NADC. In addition, Con Edison filed counter claims against PSE&G and NADC, including seeking injunctive relief and damages. Based on the information currently available and depending on the outcome of the federal court action, PSE&G’s portion of the costs to address the leak may be material; however, PSE&G anticipates that it will recover its costs, other than civil penalties, through regulatory proceedings.
Basic Generation Service (BGS), BGSS and ZECs
Each year, PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers whothat choose not to purchase electric supply from third-party suppliers. The first category, which represents about 80%82% 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 AgreementAgreements with the winners of these RSCP and CIEP BGS auctions following the BPU’s approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with winning BGS suppliers, including PSEG Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the auction (including PSEG Power) areRSCP and CIEP auctions have been responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM Load-Serving Entityload-serving entity including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards. Beginning with the 2021 BGS auction, transmission became the responsibility of the New Jersey EDCs, and is no longer a component of the BGS auction product for either the RSCP or CIEP auctions. BGS suppliers serving load from the 2018, 2019 and 2020 BGS auctions had the option to transfer the transmission obligation to the New Jersey EDCs as of February 2021. Suppliers that did so have their total BGS payment from the EDCs reduced to reflect the transfer of the transmission obligation to the EDCs.
The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 20202021 is $359.98$351.06 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 20202021 of $281.78$359.98 per MW-day. Energy for BGS-CIEP is priced at hourly PJM locational marginal prices for the contract period.
PSE&G contracts for its anticipated BGS-RSCP load on a three-year rolling basis, whereby each year one-third of the load is procured for a three-year period. The contract prices in dollars per MWh for the BGS-RSCP supply, as well as the approximate load, are as follows:

PSEG Power seeks to mitigate volatility in its results by contracting in advance for the sale of most of its anticipated electric output as well as its anticipated fuel needs. As part of its objective, PSEG Power has entered into contracts to directly supply PSE&G and other New Jersey EDCs with a portion of their respective BGS requirements through the New Jersey BGS auction process, described above.
PSE&G has a full-requirements contract with PSEG Power to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s gas customers. PSEG Power has entered into hedges for a portion of these anticipated BGSS obligations, as permitted by the BPU. The BPU permits PSE&G to recover the cost of gas hedging up to 115 billion cubic feet or 80% of its residential gas supply annual requirements through the BGSS tariff. Current plans call for PSEG Power to hedge on behalf of PSE&G approximately 70 billion cubic feet or 50% of its residential gas supply annual requirements. For additional information, see Note 20. Related-Party Transactions.
Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, New Jersey EDCs, including PSE&G, are required to purchase ZECs from eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU. In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were selected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022. In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1,

Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were selected to receive ZEC revenueawarded ZECs for approximately three years, through Maythe three-year eligibility period starting June 2022. PSE&G has implemented a tariff to collect a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per KWh from its retail distribution customers to be used to purchase the ZECs from these plants. PSE&G will purchase the ZECs on a monthly basis with payment to be made annually following completion of each energy year. The legislation also requires nuclear plants to reapply for any subsequent three-year periods and allows the BPU to adjust prospective ZEC payments.
Minimum Fuel Purchase Requirements
PSEG Power’s nuclear fuel strategy is to maintain certain levels of uranium and to make periodic purchases to support such levels. As such, the commitments referred to in the following table may include estimated quantities to be purchased that deviate from contractual nominal quantities. PSEG Power’s nuclear fuel commitments cover approximately 100% of its estimated uranium, enrichment and fabrication requirements through 20212022 and a significant portion through 20222023 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom.
PSEG Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, PSEG Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows:

It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.
Pending Tropical Storm Matter
Following the effects of Tropical Storm Isaias, the New York Attorney General initiated an inquiry into PSEG LI’s preparation and response to the storm. In addition, the Department of Public Service (DPS) within the New York State Public Service Commission launched an investigation of statethe state’s electric service providers,providers’, including PSEG LI, and other state telephone, cable and internet providers into theirLI’s, preparation and restoration efforts following Tropical Storm Isaias.response to the storm. The DPS issued an interim storm investigation report finding that PSEG LI violated its Emergency Response Plan and DPS Regulations, and recommended that LIPA consider taking various actions, including terminating or renegotiating the OSA. LIPA also initiated its own review ofissued a report with recommendations for improvements to PSEG LI’s performance.structure and processes, and recommended that LIPA either renegotiate or terminate the OSA.
In agreement with LIPA, PSEG LI agreed with LIPA that it would fundfunded approximately $7 million in claims by customers for food and medication spoilage costs incurred as a result of being without electric service during the storm upstorm.
In December 2020, LIPA filed a complaint against PSEG LI in New York State court alleging multiple breaches of the OSA in connection with PSEG LI’s preparation for and response to Tropical Storm Isaias seeking specific performance and $70 million in damages. In June 2021, LIPA and PSEG LI executed a non-binding term sheet, which is expected to guide amendments to the amountOSA. The term sheet includes several changes to the OSA, including shifting a portion of PSEG LI’s fixed revenues to incentive compensation earnedand subjecting a portion of revenue to the potential imposition of penalties by the DPS due to certain performance failures by PSEG LI, in 2020. and resolves all of LIPA’s claims related to Tropical Storm Isaias and the DPS investigation. Any amendments to the OSA will require the approval of the New York Attorney General and the New York Comptroller. The OSA contract term will continue through 2025, with a mutual option to extend. No assurances can be given regarding reaching final settlement agreement, obtaining New York approvals and the closing of the inquiry by the Attorney General.

Pending BPU Audit of PSE&G
In September 2020, the BPU ordered the commencement of a comprehensive affiliate and management audit of PSE&G. It has been more than ten years since the BPU last conducted a management and affiliate audit of this kind of PSE&G, which is initiated periodically as required by New Jersey statutes/regulations. Phase 1 of the planned audit will review affiliate relations and cost allocation between PSE&G and its affiliates, including an analysis of the relationship between PSE&G and PSEG Energy Resources & Trade, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power over the past ten years, and between PSE&G and PSEG LI. Phase 2 will be a comprehensive management audit, which will address, among other things, executive management, corporate governance, system operations, human resources, cyber security, compliance with customer protection requirements and customer safety. The audit officially began in late May 2021 and is in the data collection phase. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.

subsidiary of PSEG Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that PSEG Power withheld money owed to Durr and that PSEG Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. PSEG Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. In January 2021, the court partially granted PSEG Power’s motion to dismiss certain claims, reducing the amount claimed to $68 million. In December 2018, Durr filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the federal court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The SDNY bankruptcy court has allowed the New Jersey litigation to proceed. PSEG Power has accrued an amount related to outstanding invoices which does not reflect an assessment of claims and potential counterclaims in this matter. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG Power cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Other Litigation and Legal Proceedings
PSEG and its subsidiaries are party to various lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters, PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a liability is accrued when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. PSEG will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, other than the matters described herein, could have a material adverse effect on PSEG’s, PSE&G’s or PSEG Power’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond PSEG’s control, and the large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to PSEG’s, PSE&G’s or PSEG Power’s results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.
Ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic
PSE&G, PSEG Power and PSEG LI are providing essential services during this national emergency related to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The ongoing coronavirusCOVID-19 pandemic and associated government actions and economic effects continue to impact our businesses. PSEG and its subsidiaries have incurred additional expenses to protect our employees and customers, and PSE&G is experiencing significantly higher bad debts and lower cash collections from customers due to the moratorium on shutoffs for residential customers that has not had a materialbeen extended through December 31, 2021. PSE&G has deferred the impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flowsthese costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, thefuture recovery. The potential future impact of the pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, could have risks that drive certain accounting considerations. The ultimate impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

In August 2021, PSEG Power redeemed its $44 million of Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority Variable Rate Bonds.
Debt Covenants
PSEG Power’s existing credit agreements and senior notes contain covenants restricting the ability of PSEG Power and its subsidiaries that guarantee its indebtedness from consummating certain mergers, consolidations or asset sales. The disposal of PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet could trigger a default under one or more of these provisions. For these reasons, or for other reasons, PSEG Power would expect to redeem its outstanding senior notes, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium. Any actual redemption price would depend on the applicable treasury rate in effect at such time and the cost of such redemption would be material. In March 2021, PSEG Power and its subsidiaries received waivers from the lenders and the administrative agent under their existing credit agreements permitting them to divest, in one or more transactions, some or all of its and its subsidiaries’ non-nuclear assets without breaching the terms of the agreements.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
The commitments under the $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the total available credit capacity was $4.0$3.9 billion.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, no single institution represented more than 9% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, total credit capacity was in excess of the total anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon.horizon, including access to external financing to meet redemptions.

Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities
Derivative accounting guidance requires that a derivative instrument be recognized as either an asset or a liability at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings each period. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation provided that the derivative instrument meets specific, restrictive criteria, both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible treatments include normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS), cash flow hedge and fair value hedge accounting. PSEG, PSEG Power and PSE&G have applied the NPNS scope exception to certain derivative contracts for the forward sale of generation, power procurement agreements and fuel agreements. PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and qualifying as cash flow or fair value hedges. PSEG Power enters into additional contracts that are derivatives, but are not designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. These transactions are economic hedges and are recorded at fair market value with changes recognized in earnings.
Commodity Prices
Within PSEG and its affiliate companies, PSEG Power has the most exposure to commodity price risk. PSEG Power is exposed to commodity price risk primarily relating to changes in the market price of electricity, fossil fuels and other commodities. Fluctuations in market prices result from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market conditions, weather, state and federal regulatory policies, environmental policies, transmission availability and other factors. PSEG Power uses a variety of
48


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

derivative and non-derivative instruments, such as financial options, futures, swaps, fuel purchases and forward purchases and sales of electricity, to manage the exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and optimize the value of PSEG Power’s expected generation. PSEG Power also uses derivatives to hedge a portion of its anticipated BGSS obligations with PSE&G. For additional information see Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Changes in the fair market value of these derivative contracts are recorded in earnings.
Interest Rates
PSEG, PSEG Power and PSE&G are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Exposure to this risk is managed by targeting a balanced debt maturity profile which limits refinancing in any given period or interest rate environment. In addition, they have used a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swaps.
Fair Value Hedges
PSEG enters into fair value hedges to convert fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are fully offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying forecasted interest payments of the debt. There were no outstanding fair value interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
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, 2020, PSEG had interest rate hedges outstanding totaling $700 million. These hedges convert PSEG’s $700 million variable-rate term loan due November 2020 into a fixed-rate loan.
The fair value of these hedges was $(2) million and $(5) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to outstanding and terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $(11)$(8) million and $(15)$(9) million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are $(4)$(3) million.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
The following are the fair values of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables also include disclosures for offsetting derivative assets and liabilities which are subject to a master netting or similar agreement. In general, the terms of the agreements provide that in the event of an early termination the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. Accordingly, and in accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, these positions are offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of PSEG Power and PSEG. For additional information see Note 14. Fair Value Measurements. The following tabular disclosure does not include the offsetting of trade receivables and payables.

Table of Contents

Certain of PSEG Power’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require PSEG Power to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon PSEG Power’s credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit risk-related contingent features stipulate that if PSEG Power were to be downgraded to a below investment grade rating by S&P or Moody’s, it would be required to provide additional collateral. A below investment grade credit rating for PSEG Power would represent a three level downgrade from its current Moody’s rating and a two level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s ratings.rating. This incremental collateral requirement can offset collateral requirements related to other derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master agreements. PSEG Power also enters into commodity transactions on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as counterparties to each trade. Transactions on the NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margin requirements.
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the NYMEX and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $16 million and $35$45 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $28 million as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $11$6 million and $2$3 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under master agreements and net of margin posted. If PSEG Power had been downgraded to a below investment grade rating, it would have had additional collateral obligations of $5$39 million and $33$25 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

Credit Risk
Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that PSEG Power would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. PSEG has established credit policies that it believes significantly minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on PSEG Power’s and PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
The following table provides information on PSEG Power’s credit risk from wholesale counterparties, net of collateral, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, which is determined by the lowest rating from S&P, Moody’s or an internal scoring model. In addition, it provides guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the quality of PSEG Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 99% of the net credit exposure for PSEG Power’s wholesale operations was with investment grade counterparties. Credit exposure is defined as any positive results of netting accounts receivable/accounts payable and the forward value of open positions (which includes all financial instruments including derivatives, NPNS and non-derivatives).

(A)Represents net exposure of $50$21 million with PSE&G and $70$20 million with two non-affiliated counterparties.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, collateral held from counterparties where PSEG Power had credit exposure included $1 million in cash collateral and $33$16 million in letters of credit.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSEG Power had 128127 active counterparties.
PSE&G’s supplier master agreements are approved by the BPU and govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts. These agreements define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements and allow a supplier to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day the procurement transaction is executed, compared to the forward price curve for energy on the valuation day. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post a parental guaranty or other security instrument such as a letter of credit or cash, as collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, primarily all of2021, the posted collateral was principally 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.day As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSE&G had no net credit exposure with suppliers, including PSEG Power.
PSE&G is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the BPU-approved BGS tariffs. PSE&G’s counterparty credit risk is mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance for fair value measurement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from independent sources and those based on an entity’s own assumptions. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement into three levels:
Level 1—measurements utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power have the ability to access. These consist primarily of listed equity securities and money market mutual funds, as well as natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX.
Level 2—measurements include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. These consist primarily of non-exchange traded derivatives such as forward contracts or options and most fixed income securities.
Level 3—measurements use unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities, based on the best information available and might include an entity’s own data and assumptions. In some valuations, the inputs used may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In these cases, the financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These consist primarily of certain electric load contracts and gas contracts.
Certain derivative transactions may transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 if inputs become unobservable and internal modeling techniques are employed to determine fair value. Conversely, measurements may transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 if the inputs become observable.
The following tables present information about PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s respective assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, including the fair value measurements and the levels of inputs used in determining those fair values. Amounts shown for PSEG include the amounts shown for PSE&G and PSEG Power.

the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts based on market prices, basis adjustments and other premiums where adjustments and premiums are not considered significant to the overall inputs.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs are used for the valuation of certain contracts. See “Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements” below for more information on the utilization of unobservable inputs.

The NDT Fund maintains investments in various equity and fixed income securities. The Rabbi Trust maintains investments in a Russell 3000 index fund and various fixed income securities. These securities are generally valued with prices that are either exchange provided (equity securities) or market transactions for comparable securities and/or broker quotes (fixed income securities).
Level 1—Investments in marketable equity securities within the NDT Fund are primarily investments in common stocks across a broad range of industries and sectors. Most equity securities are priced utilizing the principal market close price or, in some cases, midpoint, bid or ask price. Certain other equity securities in the NDT and Rabbi Trust Funds consist primarily of investments in money market funds which seek a high level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. To pursue its goals, the funds normally invest in diversified portfolios of high quality, short-term, dollar-denominated debt securities and government securities. The funds’ net asset value is priced and published daily. The Rabbi Trust’s Russell 3000 index fund is valued based on quoted prices in an active market and can be redeemed daily without restriction.
Level 2—NDT and Rabbi Trust fixed income securities include investment grade corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and certain government and U.S. Treasury obligations or Federal Agency asset-backed securities and municipal bonds with a wide range of maturities. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, they are priced using an evaluated pricing methodology that varies by asset class and reflects observable market information such as the most recent exchange price or quoted bid for similar securities. Market-based standard inputs typically include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads. 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.
(D)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.
(E)Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for additional detail.
Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements
For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations for contracts with tenors that extend into periods with no observable pricing. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 because the model inputs generally are not observable. PSEG considers credit and nonperformancenon-performance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Levels 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data, in its assessment of credit and nonperformancenon-performance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and nonperformancenon-performance risk were not material to the financial statements.
The fair value of PSEG Power’s electric load contracts in which load consumption may change hourly based on demand are measured using certain unobservable inputs, such as historic load variability and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of PSEG Power’s gas physical contracts at certain illiquid delivery locations are measured using average historical basis and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. While these physical gas contracts have an unobservable component in their respective forward price curves, the fluctuations in fair value have been driven primarily by changes in the observable inputs.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 energy-related contracts in cases where PSEG Power is a seller, an increase in the load variability would decrease the fair value. For gas-related contracts in cases where PSEG Power is a buyer, an increase in the average historical basis would increase the fair value.

(A)Includes floating-rate term loan of $700 million at PSEG as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair value of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) approximates the carrying value because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly and the debt is redeemable at face value by PSEG at any time.
(B)Given that these bonds do not trade actively, the fair value amounts of taxable debt securities (primarily Level 2 measurements) are generally determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology. The fair value amounts above do not represent the price at which the outstanding debt may be called for redemption by each issuer under their respective debt agreements.

Note 16. Income Taxes
PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
September 30,September 30,
2020201920202019

PSE&G11.3%6.5%15.9%6.1%
PSEG Power31.7%20.9%20.4%29.1%
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the differences in PSEG’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the reduction in the 2020 flowback of PSE&G’s excess deferred income tax (EDIT) liabilities as PSE&G refunded all FERC-approved transmission-related EDIT liabilities that are not subject to thenormalization rules in 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the difference in PSEG’s effective tax rate as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% was due primarily to the flowback of PSE&G’s EDIT liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the difference in PSEG’s effective tax rate as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% was due primarily to the flowback of PSE&G’s EDIT liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income taxes, the benefit of purchasing 2019 net operating losses (NOLs) under the New Jersey Technology Tax Benefit Transfer Program in the first quarter of 2020, and the tax benefit from changes in uncertain tax positions as a result of the settlement of the 2011-2016 federal income tax audits.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the differences in PSE&G’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the reduction in the 2020 flowback of PSE&G’s EDIT liabilities, as PSE&G refunded all FERC-approved transmission-related EDIT liabilities that are not subject to the normalization rules in 2019, and bad debt related flow-through. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the differences in PSE&G’s effective tax rates as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to the flowback of PSE&G’s EDIT liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income taxes, which increased in the third quarter of 2020 as a result of PSE&G’s IRS PLR, discussed below, offset by bad debt related flow-through.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the differences in PSEG Power’s effective tax rate as compared to the same period in the prior year and the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to higher pre-tax income from the NDT qualified fund, which is subject to an additional trust tax, and the impact of the retroactive increase in the 2020 New Jersey temporary surtax discussed below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the differences in PSEG Power’s effective tax rate as compared to the same period in the prior year and the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to the benefit of purchasing 2019 NOLs under the New Jersey Technology Tax Benefit Transfer Program in 2020 and the tax benefit from changes in uncertain tax positions as a result of the settlement of the 2011-2016 federal income tax audits.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act)
Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act established tax laws including, but not limited to, a limitation on deductible interest and limitations on the utilization of NOLS, such as eliminating carrybacks.
In November 2018, the IRS issued proposed regulations addressing the interest disallowance rules contained in the Tax Act. For non-regulated businesses, these rules set a cap on the amount of interest that can be deducted in a given year. Any amount that is disallowed can be carried forward indefinitely. For 2018 and 2019, the tax deductibility of a portion of PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s interest expense was disallowed and was recorded as a deferred tax asset. Amounts recorded under the Tax Act and relevant statutes, including but not limited to depreciation and interest disallowance, are subject to change based on several factors, including but not limited to, the IRS and state taxing authorities issuing additional guidance and/or further clarification.
In July 2020, the IRS issued final and proposed regulations addressing the limitation on deductible business interest expense contained in the Tax Act. These regulations retroactively allow depreciation to be added back in computing the 30% adjusted taxable income (ATI) cap, increasing the amount of interest that can be deducted by unregulated businesses in years before 2022. For years after 2021, the regulations continue to disallow the addback of depreciation in the computation of ATI, effectively lowering the cap on the amount of deductible business interest. The portion of PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s business interest expense that was disallowed in 2018 and 2019 will now be deductible in those respective years. PSEG is still in the process of analyzing these regulations, which may impact PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s financial condition and cash flows.

In March 2021, the White House released an overview of the American Jobs Plan. In April 2021, the Treasury Department issued The Made in America Tax Plan and in June 2021, the General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Proposals in the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. Each include several tax raising provisions that have not yet been enacted. Further, a prolonged economic recovery may result in additional federal and state tax legislation that can have a material impact on PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s effective tax rate and cash tax position.
Amounts recorded under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
In March 2020,and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 are subject to change based on several factors, including, among other things, whether the CARES Act was signed into federal law. As applicable to PSEG and PSEG Power, the CARES Act favorably increases the limitation on the amount of interest that can be deducted in 2020. The increased limitation will allow a portion of the previously disallowed amounts to reduceInternal Revenue Service or state taxing authorities issue additional guidance and/or further clarification. Any further guidance or clarification could impact PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s 2020 taxable income. The CARES Act also reversed certain NOL provisions from thefinancial statements.
As of June 30, 2021, PSE&G had a $23 million New Jersey Corporate Business Tax Act such as allowing five-year carrybacks of 2018, 2019 and 2020 NOLs.
IRS PLR
In April 2020, the IRS issued a PLR to PSE&G concludingnet operating loss (NOL) that certain excess deferred taxes previously classified as protected should be classified as unprotected. Unprotected excess deferred income taxes are not subject to the normalization rules allowing them to be refunded to customers sooner as agreed to with FERC and the BPU. In July 2020, FERC and the BPU approved PSE&G’s requests to refund these unprotected excess deferred income taxes to customers. FERC approved the refund of these unprotected excess deferred income taxes within the 2019 true-up filing. The BPU approved the refund of these unprotected excess deferred income taxes within the next five years beginning in July 2020. See Note 6. Rate Filings for additional information.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
In April 2020, the Joint Committee on Taxation approved PSEG’s nuclear carryback claim and federal tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012. In June 2020, the federal income tax audits for years 2011 through 2016 and the nuclear carryback claim were concluded. As a result, in the second quarter of 2020, PSEG, PSE&G, and PSEG Power decreased their total unrecognized tax benefits by $149 million, $83 million, and $63 million, respectively. As these unrecognized tax benefits primarily relate to temporary differences for which there are associated accumulated deferred income taxes, PSEG, PSE&G, and PSEG Power recorded $37 million, $9 million, and $25 million, respectively, of income statement benefits. The final cash settlement is expected to be completed withinfully realized in the next twelve months.future. There are no other material tax carryforwards in other jurisdictions.
New Jersey State Tax Reform
In September 2020, New Jersey enacted its State Fiscal Year 2021 Budget, which amended the temporary surtax originally enacted into law in 2018, from 1.5% to 2.5% for 2020 and 2021 and extended the 2.5% surtax to 2023. PSE&G continues to be exempt and this amendment will not have a material impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements.
In July 2018, New Jersey made changes to its income tax laws, including imposing the aforementioned temporary surtax, as well as requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. Both provisions include an exemption for public utilities. PSEG believes PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be impacted by the temporary surtax or be included in the combined reporting group. PSEG anticipates New Jersey will be issuing clarifying guidance regarding combined reporting rules. Any further guidance or clarification could impact PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with such Statements, Notes and the Form 10-K.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF 20202021 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
We are continuingprogressing on our transformation intostrategy to become a primarily regulated electric and gas utility that isand a contracted carbon-free energy infrastructure company. We are focused on meeting customer expectations and isbeing well aligned with public policy objectives promoting clean energy investments.by investing to modernize our infrastructure, improve reliability and deliver cleaner energy. Our business plan focuses on achieving growth while controlling costs and managing the risks associated with regulatory and policy changes, fluctuating commodity prices and changes in customer demand. In furtherance of these goals, over the past few years, our investments have altered our business mix to reflect a higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G. We also announced in July 2020 that&G, which improves the sustainability and predictability of our earnings and cash flows and provides more financial flexibility. In June 2021, we completed the sale of PSEG Power’s solar portfolio and we are exploring strategic alternatives forcontinuing to advance the potential sale of PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet, which includes more than 6,750 megawatts (MW) of fossil generation located in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York and Maryland as well as the 467 MW Solar Source portfolio located in various states.Maryland. See Item 1. Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments for additional information.
PSE&G, PSEG Power and PSEG LI continue to provideare providing essential services during the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We have implemented a comprehensive set of enhanced safety actions to help protect our employees, customers and communities, and we will continue to closely monitor developments and adjust as needed to ensure that we continue to provide reliable service while protecting the safety and health of our workforce and the communities we serve. We continue to be guided by the recommendations of health authorities at the federal, state and local levels. Employees who can perform their job duties remotely are doing so. Those employees who must report to a work site are wearing personal protective equipment (PPE)
The COVID-19 pandemic and practicing physical distancing measures. Extensive cleaning protocols are also in place. Earlier this year, we suspended non-essential work activities, while continuing to respond to customer outagesassociated government actions and requests for emergency service as well as infrastructure maintenance and upgrades. As New Jersey has relaxed its coronavirus response protocols over the past few months, we have initiated a phased re-starting of certain of these activities (i.e., inside premises appliance repair and monthly meter reading activities), while maintaining protocols for physical distancing and PPE. Similarly, we have also begun to formulate policies and protocols for the responsible reopening of our offices and work sites. Our “responsible reentry” policies

discussed below. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has not had a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, the potential future impact of the pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, will depend on a number of factors outside of our control, includingcontrol.

These include the duration and severity of the outbreak as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects.effects, and governmental or regulatory actions regarding customer collections, potential limitations on rate increases, recovery of incremental costs, and other matters. While we currently cannot estimate the potential impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, this MD&A includes a discussion of potential effects of a prolonged outbreak.
PSE&G
At PSE&G, our focus is on enhancing reliability and resiliency of our T&D system, meeting customer expectations and supporting public policy objectives by investing capital in T&D infrastructure and clean energy programs. For the five-year period ending December 31, 2024,2025, PSE&G expects to invest between $12.5$13 billion to $14.7$15 billion, resulting in an expected compound annual growth in rate base growth of 7%6.5% to 8%. These rangesThe low end of the range assumes an extension of our Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP) and Clean Energy Future (CEF)-Energy Efficiency (EE) program at their average annual investment levels, as these programs are expected to continue at least at those current rates beyond their currently approved timeframe of 2023. The upper end of the range is driven by certain unapproved investment programs, including a to-be-filed extension of the Energy Cloud (EC) andStrong program, which otherwise concludes in 2023, as well as the remaining portion of our CEF proposal (portion of Electric Vehicle (EV)/ and Energy Storage (ES) portions of the Clean Energy Future (CEF) program, any extension of the CEF Energy Efficiency (EE) program beyond the initial three-years approved by the BPU in September 2020,programs) and incremental reliability and resiliency investments anticipated in the 2024 timeframe that we intend to seek approval for under the third phase of existing infrastructure programs. See below for a description of the CEF program.
In 2019, we commenced our BPU-approved Gas System Modernization Program II (GSMP II), an expanded, five-year program to invest $1.9 billion beginning in 2019 to replace approximately 875 miles of cast iron and unprotected steel mains in addition to other improvements to the gas system. Approximately $1.6 billion will be recovered through periodic rate roll-ins, with the remaining $300 million to be recovered through a future base rate proceeding. As part of the settlement approved by the BPU, PSE&G agreed to file for a base rate proceeding no later than December 2023, to maintain a base level of gas distribution capital expenditures of $155 million per year and to achieve certain leakage reduction targets.
Also in 2019, the BPU approved our Energy Strong II Program (ES II), an $842 million program to harden, modernize and improve the resiliency of our electric and gas distribution systems. This program began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. Approximately $692 million of the program will be recovered through periodic rate recovery filings, with the balance to be recovered in our next distribution base rate case.
In October 2018, we filed our proposed CEF program with the BPU, a six-year estimated $3.5 billion investment covering four programs; (i) an EE program totaling $2.5 billionpotentially higher amount of investment designed to achieve energy efficiency targets required under New Jersey’s Clean Energy law; (ii) an EV infrastructure program; (iii) an ES program, which was submitted to the BPU together with the EV infrastructure program in a single filing;for GSMP and (iv) an EC program which will include installing approximately two million electric smart meters and associated infrastructure. CEF-EE beyond current levels.
In January 2020, New Jersey released its Energy Master Plan (EMP) which, among other things, recognizesrecognized the importance of the State’s EE targets and supported EVs, ES, and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).
In September 2020, PSE&G reached a settlement with all parties in the CEF-EE proceeding, which the BPU approved. The settlement provides for an investment ofcommits $1 billion over a three-year period, with the majority of the investment occurring over a five-year period. Costs will be recovered through annual rate-making, with returns aligned with our most recent base rate case and a ten-year amortization period.
The approval also included a Conservation Incentive Program (CIP), a mechanism that will provide for recovery of lost electric and gas variable margin revenues.revenues relative to a baseline of the test year in our last base rate case from July 2017 to June 2018. The CIP isdeferral period for this mechanism became effective in June 2021 for electric and will become effective in October 2021 for gas. PSE&G will suspend its gas Weather Normalization Charge (WNC) when the gas CIP deferral period begins.
In January 2021, the BPU approved a settlement with PSE&G and other parties in the CEF-Energy Cloud (EC) proceeding. The capital cost of the program, which includes implementation of AMI, is estimated to be approximately $700 million, invested over the next four years.
Also in January 2021, the BPU has also issued procedural schedulesapproved a settlement with PSE&G and other parties in the CEF-EV proceeding for a majority of the components of the program. The approved investment under the program is for $166 million, primarily relating to preparatory work to deliver infrastructure to the charging point for three programs: residential smart charging; Level-2 mixed use charging; and direct current fast charging.
All of the capital costs and expenses of the CEF-EC and CEF-EV/ES investmentCEF-EV programs are expected to be recovered in PSE&G’s next base rate case, expected in the second half of 2024. From the start of the program filings, with evidentiary hearings scheduled foruntil the fourth quartercommencement of 2020. In April 2020, PSE&G filednew base rates, the return on and of the capital portion of each of these programs, as well as expenses incurred to implement the CEF-EV program and operating costs and stranded costs associated with the BPU an updateretirement of itsexisting meters under the CEF-EC petitionprogram, will be deferred and included for recovery as part of our next rate case expected to revise certain assumptions, including an updated deployment schedule based onbe concluded in 2024. The remaining component of our CEF-EV proposal, the procedural schedule.vehicle innovation subprogram, as well as the overall CEF-ES program, are being held in abeyance pending future policy guidance from the BPU.
We also continue to invest in transmission infrastructure in order to (i) maintain and enhance system integrity and grid reliability, grid(ii) ensure system resilience in the face of continued extreme weather conditions and cyber and physical security and safety, (ii)threats, (iii) address an aging transmission infrastructure, (iii)(iv) leverage technology to improve the operation of the system, (iv)(v) reduce transmission constraints, (v) meet growing demand and (vi) meet environmental requirementschanging customer usage patterns and standards set by various regulatory bodies.the demand for 24/7 electricity, and (vii) satisfy state public policy goals, including aggressive decarbonization agendas. Our planned capital spending for transmission in 2020-20222021-2023 is $2.9$2.5 billion. As discussed further below, PSE&G has reached a settlement with the BPU, pending FERC approval, to reduce its base transmission ROE from 11.18% to 9.9%.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and associated impacts could have several negative consequences, including potential delays of our regulatory agencies’ review and approval of proposed programs or rate recovery.
The coronavirus has also impacted PSE&G’s sales, with a reduction in demand from its commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, largely offset by increases in residential sales volumes. As a result, there has been no substantive net margin impact and future changes are largely addressed through the CIP mechanism that is effective in 2021. The most substantive impact of the pandemic on our financial position has been adverse changes to residential and C&I payment patterns. The State of New Jersey issued an Executive Order in March 2020 that included a moratorium on non-safety related service disconnections for

As noted above, PSE&G has been deemednon-payment. On June 30, 2021, the moratorium imposed by the State of New Jersey to provide essential services duringended but the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Our capital programs, including GSMP II, ES II and our transmission infrastructure investments, have not been materially impacted to date. However,State has established a prolonged outbreak and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, could impact our ability to obtain necessary permits and approvals and could lead to shortages of necessary materials, supplies and labor. In addition, a determination by any state or federal regulatory authority that one or all of our projects is non-essential could require us to temporarily halt work. Any delay in our planned capital program could impact our operational performance and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition through decreased cost recovery.
Further, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has led many state and federal agencies to implement remote working protocols and divert resources to address the pandemic which, if prolonged, could impact regulatory agencies’ ability to review proposed programs and delay the timing of approvals for matters subject to regulatory approval, including parts ofour CEF program that is currently before the BPU and the approval of various clause recovery mechanisms.
PSE&G has experienced a reduction in demand from its commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, partially offset by increases in residential demand, and adverse changes to residential and C&I payment patterns, and expects these changes to continue during a prolonged coronavirus pandemic. In October 2020, the state formally extended its moratorium on non-safety related service“grace period” prohibiting disconnections for non-payment for residential customers through March 15,December 31, 2021. Given the annual wintermoratorium on residential shut-offs, collections and shut-offs will not be in full effect until mid-March 2022. During the moratorium, PSE&G has experienced a significant decrease in cash inflow and higher Accounts Receivable aging and an associated increase in bad debt expense, which we expect could extend beyondwill continue through the duration ofgrace period and winter moratorium and take the coronavirus pandemic.next several years to fully return to normal levels. PSE&G’s electric distribution bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause (SBC) mechanism. PSE&G has deferred its incremental gas distribution bad debt expense as a result of COVID-19 as a Regulatory Asset and will seek recovery of that cost, as well as other net incremental COVID-19 costs, in its next base rate case as discussed below.case. 
In July 2020, the BPU authorized regulated utilities in New Jersey, including PSE&G, to create a COVID-19-related Regulatory Asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the New Jersey governor determines that the Public Health Emergency is no longer in effect, or in the absence of such a determination, 60 days from the time the Public Health Emergency automatically terminates by law, whichever is later.2021. Deferred costs are to be offset by any federal or state assistance that the utility may receive as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the third quarterAs of 2020,June 30, 2021, PSE&G has recorded a Regulatory Asset related to COVID-19 to defer incremental costs of $35 million. There is no assurance that$82 million, which PSE&G expects are probable of recovery under the BPU order. While we expect to continue to defer and ultimately recover these costs will ultimatelyunder the July BPU Order, no assurances can be recovered.given.
Given the ongoing prohibition on residential shut-offs, in July 2021, PSE&G, joined by other New Jersey gas distribution companies, made a filing with the BPU, noting that the current deferral period does not allow for proper consideration and inclusion of all incremental related expenses in a Regulatory Asset and requesting that the BPU extend the deferral of bad debt and related costs through the end of 2023.
While the impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 has not been material, a prolonged coronavirus pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, could materially impact cash from operations, Accounts Receivable and bad debt expense.
PSEG Power
In July 2020, we announced that we are exploring strategic alternatives for PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet with the intention of accelerating the transformation of our business into a primarily regulated electric and gas utility, with a significantlycontracted generation business. It is expected to reduce overall business risk and earnings volatility, improve PSEG’s business and financial profile and is consistent with PSEG’s climate strategy and sustainability efforts, which is to focus on clean energy investments, methane reduction, and carbon-free generation. PSEG intends to retain ownership of PSEG Power’s existing nuclear fleet.
In May 2021, PSEG Power Ventures LLC (Power Ventures), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, entered into a purchase agreement with Quattro Solar, LLC, an affiliate of LS Power, relating to the sale by Power Ventures of 100% of its ownership interest in PSEG Solar Source LLC (Solar Source) including its related assets and liabilities. The transaction closed in June 2021. Any potential transaction involving PSEG Power’s more than 6,750 MW of fossil generation is expected to be completed either in the fourth quarter of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022.
There is no assurance that the strategic review will result in a sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the fossil generation assets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Any transaction would be subject to market conditions and customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions and Impairments.
At PSEG Power, we strivehave sought to achieve operational excellence and manage costs in order to optimize cash flow generation from our fleet in light of low wholesale power and gas prices, environmental considerations and competitive market forces that reward efficiency and reliability. In the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, our natural gas and nuclear units generated 16.810.1 and 24.015.5 terawatt hours and operated at a capacity factor of 49.0%44.3% and 94.2%92.1%, respectively. Our commitments for load, such as basic generation service (BGS) in New Jersey and other bilateral supply contracts, are backed by this generation or may be combined with the use of physical commodity purchases and financial instruments from the market to optimize the economic efficiency of serving our obligations. PSEG Power’s hedging practices and ability to capitalize on market opportunities help it to manage some of the volatility of the merchant power business. More than 70%75% of PSEG Power’s expected gross margin in 20202021 relates to hedging of our energy margin, our expected revenues from the capacity market mechanisms, Zero Emission Certificate (ZEC) revenues that commenced in April 2019 and certain ancillary service payments such as reactive power.
As discussed further below under “Wholesale Power Market Design,” FERC issued an order establishing new rules for PJM’s capacity market, extending the PJM Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) to include both new and existing resources that receive or are entitled to receive certain out-of-market payments, with certain exemptions. However, in July 2021, PJM submitted to FERC a proposal to replace the expanded MOPR with new provisions that accommodate state public policy programs that do not attempt to set the price of capacity. Under the PJM proposal, PSEG Power’s New Jersey nuclear plants that receive ZEC payments will be subject to the new MOPR. In addition, as a result of FERC’s finding that default procurement auctions such as BGS could be considered subsidies, it is possible that other PSEG units could be subject to the MOPR. The MOPR’s floor prices are not expected to prevent either our nuclear or gas-fired units from clearing in the next Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) auction. We cannot predict whether additional changes will be made to the MOPR, or whether changes will occur in the PJM market that would impact our ability to clear any of these units in future RPM auctions.
In the first nine months of 2020, as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, PSEG Power experienced a decrease in aggregate wholesale electric demand. An extended outbreak could have a material adverse impact on future results of operations and cash flows.

PSEG Power has also implemented protocols to ensure the safety and health of employees at its generation facilities and contractors working at the facilities during planned outages. A prolonged unavailability of employees and contractors duethat receive ZEC payments will not be subject to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic could materially and adversely impact our abilitynew MOPR. PJM’s proposal requests that FERC approve the new provisions for the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) auction that is scheduled to operate our generation facilities, which would have a material impact on our business, resultsbe held in December 2021. We cannot predict the outcome of operations and cash flows.the FERC proceeding.
PSEG LI
Following the effects of Tropical Storm Isaias, the New York Attorney General initiated an inquiry into PSEG LI’s preparation and response to the storm. In addition, the Department of Public Service (DPS) within the New York State Public Service Commission launched an investigation of statethe state’s electric service providers,providers’, including PSEG LI’s, preparation and response to the storm. The DPS issued an interim storm investigation report finding that PSEG LI violated its Emergency Response Plan and DPS Regulations, and recommended that LIPA consider taking various actions, including terminating or renegotiating the OSA. LIPA also issued a report with recommendations for improvements to PSEG LI’s structure and processes and recommended that LIPA either renegotiate or terminate the OSA.
In December 2020, LIPA filed a complaint against PSEG LI in New York State court alleging multiple breaches of the OSA in connection with PSEG LI’s preparation for and response to Tropical Storm Isaias seeking specific performance and $70 million in damages. In June 2021, LIPA and PSEG LI executed a non-binding term sheet, which is expected to guide amendments to our OSA.

Strategic Alternatives for PSEG Power’s Non-Nuclear Fleet
On July 31, 2020, PSEG announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives for PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet, which includes more than 6,750 MW of fossil generation located in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York and Maryland as well as the 467 MW Solar Source portfolio located in various states. An exit from the fossil generation business would accelerate PSEG’s transition to a primarily regulated and contracted business, with a zero-carbon generation platform. It is expected to reduce overall business risk and earnings volatility, improve PSEG’s credit profile and is consistent with PSEG’s climate strategy and sustainability efforts, which is to focus on clean energy investments, methane reduction, and zero-carbon generation. PSEG intends to retain ownership of PSEG Power’s existing nuclear fleet. While PSEG isor resulting in the preliminary stagetermination of this evaluation, the marketingOSA could have a material adverse effect on PSEG’s results of a potential transaction in one or a series of steps is anticipated to launch in the fourth quarter of this year,operations and any potential transaction is expected to be completed sometime in 2021. There is no assurance that the strategic review will result in a sale or other disposition of all or any portion of these assets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Any transaction would be subject to market conditions and customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals.financial condition.
Climate Strategy and Sustainability Efforts
For more than a century, our mission has been to provide safe access to an around-the-clock supply of reliable, affordable power.energy. Building on this mission, we believe inare working toward a future where customers universally use less energy, the energy they use is cleaner, and its delivery is more reliable and more resilient.In July 2019,June 2021, we announced that we expect to cut carbon emissions at PSEG Power’s generation fleetaccelerated and expanded our net zero vision by 80% by 2046, from 2005 levels. We have also announced our vision of attaining20 years, establishing a net zero-zero carbon emissions by 2050,2030 goal that includes direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1) and indirect GHG emissions from operations (Scope 2) at both PSEG Power and PSE&G, assuming advances in technology, public policy and customer behavior. Scope 1 emissions include power generation, methane leaks, vehicle fleet emissions, sulfur hexafluoride and refrigerant leaks. Scope 2 emissions include both gas and electric purchased energy for our PSE&G facilities and line losses.
PSE&G has also undertaken a number of initiatives that support the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG)GHG emissions and the implementation of energy efficiency initiatives. The first phase of our GSMP replaced approximately 450 miles of cast-iron and unprotected steel gas infrastructure, and the second phase of this program is expected to replace an additional 875 miles of gas pipes through 2023. The GSMP is designed to significantly reduce gas leaks in our distribution system, which would reduce the release of methane, a potent GHG, into the air. Through GSMP II, from 2018 through 2023 we expect an approximate 22% reduction in methane, and assuming a continuation of GSMP, we expect an approximate 60% reduction in methane emissions from 2011 through 2030. In addition, PSE&G’s recently approved CEF-EE, program, which was approved byCEF-EC and CEF-EV programs and the BPU in September 2020 and CEF-EV/ES and EC proposals, which are under review by the BPU,proposed CEF-ES program are intended to support New Jersey’s EMP through programs designed to help customers increase their energy efficiency, support the expansion of the electric vehicle infrastructure in the State, install energy storage capacity to supplement solar generation and enhance grid resiliency, install smart meters and supporting infrastructure to allow for the integration of other clean energy technologies and to more efficiently respond to weather and other outage events. We also continue to assess physical risks of climate change and adapt our capital investment program to improve the reliability and resiliency of our system in an environment of increasing frequency and severity of weather events, notably through our investments in Energy Strong.
Offshore Wind
In December 2020, PSEG entered into a definitive agreement with Ørsted North America to acquire a 25% equity interest in Ørsted’s Ocean Wind project. Ocean Wind was selected by New Jersey to be the first offshore wind farm as part of the State’s intention to add 7,500 MW of offshore wind generating capacity by 2035. The Ocean Wind project is expected to achieve full commercial operation in 2025. On March 31, 2021, the BPU approved PSEG’s investment in Ocean Wind and the acquisition was completed in April 2021. Additionally, PSEG and Ørsted each owns 50% of Garden State Offshore Energy LLC (GSOE) which holds rights to an offshore wind lease area just south of New Jersey. PSEG and Ørsted are exploring opportunities to

develop the GSOE lease area. In April 2021, PJM announced the opening of the first public policy Order 1000 bid window that would utilize the state agreement approach for transmission projects to support the full 7,500 MW of offshore wind generation that New Jersey plans to procure. The state agreement approach requires customers in the requesting state - in this case New Jersey - to pay for the costs of these public policy transmission projects. Bids for this opportunity are due in the third quarter of 2021 and PSEG is evaluating opportunities to bid in this open window.
Operational Excellence
We emphasize operational performance while developing opportunities in both our regulated and competitive and regulated businesses. Flexibility in our generating fleet has allowed us to take advantage of opportunities in a rapidly evolving market as we remain diligent in managing costs. In the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, our utility continued its efforts to control costs while maintaining strong operational performance and has implemented protocols to ensure that we are providing essential services to our customers during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in a safe and reliable manner.performance.
Financial Strength
Our financial strength is predicated on a solid balance sheet, positive operating cash flow and reasonable risk-adjusted returns on increased investment. Our financial position remained strong during the first ninesix months of 20202021 as we
maintained sufficient liquidity,

maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and
increased our indicative annual dividend for 20202021 to $1.96$2.04 per share.
We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements, as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources and the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) without the issuance of new equity. Our planned capital requirements, which are driven by growth in our regulated utility, and the potential sale of our fossil generatingfleet are expected to improve our business and financial profile.

The greater emphasis on capital spending in recent years for projects at PSE&G relative to PSEG Power, particularly those on which we receive contemporaneous returns at PSE&G has yielded strong results, which when combined with the cash flow generated by PSEG Power, has allowed us to meet customer needs and address market conditions and investor expectations. We continue our focus on operational excellence, financial strength and disciplined investment. These guiding principles have provided the base from which we have been able to execute our strategic initiatives.Power.
Disciplined Investment
We utilize rigorous criteria and consider a number of external factors, includingfocusing on the economic impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic,value for our stakeholders, as well as other impacts, when determining how and when to efficiently deploy capital. We principally explore opportunities for investment in areas that complement our existing business and provide reasonable risk-adjusted returns.returns and continuously assess and optimize our business mix as appropriate.

Regulatory, Legislative and Other Developments
In our pursuit of operational excellence, financial strength and disciplined investment, we closely monitor and engage with stakeholders on significant regulatory and legislative developments. Transmission planning rules and wholesale power market design are of particular importance to our results and we continue to advocate for policies and rules that promote fair and efficient electricity markets. For additional information about regulatory, legislative and other developments that may affect us, see Part I, Item 1. Business—Regulatory Issues in our Form 10-K and Item 5.

Transmission Rate Proceedings and Return on Equity (ROE)
In March 2020,2019, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) proposingInquiry seeking comments on improvements to revise itsFERC’s electric transmission incentives policy. Subsequently, in April 2021, FERC issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to eliminate the incentive policy to encouragefor Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) membership for transmitting utilities that have already received the development of infrastructure needed to ensure grid reliability and reduce congestion to lower the cost of powerincentive for consumers. The NOPR proposes to shift the focus in granting incentives from an approach based on the risks and challenges faced bythree or more years. PSE&G began receiving a project to an approach based on economic and reliability benefits to consumers. The NOPR proposes to retain several existing incentives, increase the 50 basis point adder for Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) participation to 100 basis pointsRTO membership in 2008. Elimination of the adder for RTO membership could reduce PSE&G’s annual Net Income and provide incentives for transmission technologies that enhance reliability, efficiency and capacity.annual cash inflows by approximately $30 million.
In May 2020, FERC issued an order revising an earlier order that established a new ROE policy for reviewing existing transmission owners’ ROEs. The revised methodology uses the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, the Capital Asset Pricing model(CAPM) and the risk premiumRisk Premium model to determine if an existing base ROE is unjust and unreasonable and, if so, what replacement ROE is appropriate. FERC’s order indicated that it would not be bound by this revised methodology when

transmission owners and utilities in other jurisdictions. In addition, over the past few years, several companies have negotiated settlements that have resulted in reduced ROEs.
We are engaged inIn July 2021, we submitted for FERC’s approval a settlement discussionsagreement effective August 1, 2021 that we reached with the BPU Staff and the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (New Jersey Rate Counsel) about the level of PSE&G’s base transmission ROE; however, weROE and other formula rate matters. The settlement reduces PSE&G’s base ROE from 11.18% to 9.9%. As a result of this settlement, PSE&G’s annual Net Income would decrease by approximately $50 million to $60 million, with a total decrease in cash flows of approximately $100 million. The settlement provides that the settling parties will not seek changes to our transmission formula rate for three years. We cannot predict the outcome of these settlement discussions. An adverse change to PSE&G’s base transmission ROE or ROE incentives could be material. We estimate that for each 25 basis point reduction in PSE&G’s base transmission ROE, and all other factors unchanged, PSE&G’s annual Net Income and annual cash inflows would decrease by approximately $15 million.the FERC proceeding.
Wholesale Power Market Design
In December 2019, FERC issued an order establishing new rules for PJM’s capacity market, extending the PJM MOPR to include both new and existing resources that receive or are entitled to receive certain out-of-market payments, with certain exemptions.
PSEG Power’s New Jersey However, in July 2021, PJM submitted to FERC a proposal to replace the expanded MOPR with new provisions that accommodate state public policy programs if they do not attempt to set the price of capacity. PJM states that nuclear plants that receive ZEC payments such as PSEG Power’s New Jersey units will not be subject to the new MOPR. In addition, as a result of FERC’s findingMOPR provisions. PJM requests that default procurement auctions such as BGS could be considered subsidies, it is possible that other PSEG units could be subject to the MOPR. Resources that are subject to the MOPR continue to have the ability to justify a bid below the MOPR floor price under the unit-specific exemption. The MOPR floor prices are not expected to prevent either our nuclear units or gas-fired units from clearing in the next RPM auction. A FERC order issued in May 2020 authorizing enhancements to the methodology used by PJM to price energy reserves has created additional uncertainty regarding the impact of the MOPR expansion in future RPM auctions on PSEG Power’s nuclear units that receive ZECs. One of the findings made by FERC in that order will affect how the MOPR offer floors are calculated and could have the effect, in the future, of increasing the price floorsapprove its proposal for the plants and thereby increasing the risk of being unable to clear in annew RPM auction. In addition, if one or more electric distribution zones in New Jersey (or another state) were to become fixed resource requirement (FRR) alternativeservice areas, procurements neededauction scheduled for that area could provide an alternate means for nuclear units whose ability to clear in RPM auctions was affected by the MOPR to provide capacity within PJM.December 2021. We cannot predict whether additional changes will be made to the MOPR, or whether changes will occur in the PJM market that would impact our ability to clear any of these units in future RPM auctions.
States that have clean energy programs designed to achieve public policy goals that support such resources as solar, offshore wind and nuclear, are not prevented from pursuing those programs by the expanded MOPR and could choose to utilize the existing FRR approach authorized under the PJM tariff. Subsidized units that cannot clear in a RPM capacity auction becauseoutcome of the expanded MOPR could still count as capacity resources to a load serving entity (LSE) using the FRR approach. FERC proceeding.
In a March 2020 order,July 2021, the BPU initiated anissued a report on its investigation related to examine whether New Jersey can achieve its long-term clean energy and environmental objectives under the current resource adequacy procurement paradigmparadigm. The report found that participating in the regional market is the most efficient way for New Jersey to achieve its clean energy goals and therefore consideration of leaving the regional market is paused while important market reforms are being considered at the regional and national level. However, the report recommends that New Jersey continue to explore a New Jersey-only or regional competitive auction design if potential alternatives. One ofreforms at the areas of inquiry concerns the potential creation of FRR service areas withinregional and national level are not sufficient to allow New Jersey.Jersey to achieve its clean energy goals. We cannot predict the impact these rules or any measures taken bywhether the BPU will take any measures in the future that will have an impact on the capacity market or our generating stations.
In January 2020, New Jersey rejoined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). As a result, generating plants operating in New Jersey, including those owned by PSEG Power, that emit CO2 emissions will be required to procure credits for each ton they emit. In response to RGGI, PJM initiated a process in 2019 to investigate the development of a carbon pricing mechanism that may mitigate the environmental and financial distortions that could occur when emissions “leak” from non-participating states to the RGGI states. If the process leads to a market solution, it could have a material impact on the value of PSEG Power’s generating fleet.
Environmental Regulation
We are subject to liability under environmental laws for the costs and penalties 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 and penalties of any such remediation efforts could be material.
For further information regarding the matters described above, as well as other matters that may impact our financial condition and results of operations, see Item 1. Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

Nuclear
In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs by the BPU. Pursuant to a process established by the BPU, ZECs are purchased from selected nuclear plants and recovered through a non-bypassable distribution charge in the amount of $0.004 per kilowatt-hour used (which is equivalent to approximately $10 per megawatt hour (MWh) generated in payments to selected nuclear plants (ZEC payment)). TheseEach nuclear plants areplant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022.
In April 2021, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded ZECs for the three-year eligibility period starting June 2022 at the same approximate $10 per MWh received during the current ZEC period through May 2022 referenced above. As a result, each nuclear plant is expected to receive ZEC revenue for an additional three years starting June 2022. The terms and conditions of this April 2021 ZEC award are the same as the current ZEC period as discussed above. While the ZEC program has preserved these units to date, PSEG will seek a long-term legislative or other solution for our New Jersey nuclear plants that sufficiently values them for their carbon-free, fuel diversity and resilience attributes. No assurances can be obligatedgiven regarding future ZEC awards or other long-term solutions.

The award of ZECs attaches certain obligations, including an obligation to maintainrepay the ZECs in the event that a plant ceases operations during the period that period,it was awarded ZECs, subject to certain exceptions specified in the ZEC legislation. PSEG Power has and will continue to recognize revenue monthly as the nuclear plants generate electricity and satisfy their performance obligations. TheFurther, the ZEC payment may be adjusted by the BPU (a) at any time to offset environmental or fuel diversity payments that a selected nuclear plant may receive from another source or (b) at certain times specified in the ZEC legislation if the BPU determines that the purposes of the ZEC legislation can be achieved through a reduced charge that will nonetheless be sufficient to achieve the State’s air quality and other environmental objectives by preventing the retirement of nuclear plants.source. For instance, the New Jersey Rate Counsel, in written comments filed with the BPU, has advocated for the BPU to offset market benefits resulting from New Jersey’s rejoining the RGGI from the ZEC payment. PSEG intends to vigorously defend against these arguments. Due to its preliminary nature, PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
The BPU’s April 2019 decision awarding ZECs hasthrough May 2022 and April 2021 decision awarding ZECs through May 2025 have been appealed by the New Jersey Rate Counsel. In May 2021, Rate Counsel filed an appeal with the New Jersey Appellate Division of the BPU’s April 2021 decision. In July 2021, the New Jersey Supreme Court denied the New Jersey Rate Counsel’s petition for further appellate review of the BPU’s April 2019 decision. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In October 2020, PSEG Power filed with the BPU its ZEC applications for Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek for the three-year eligibility period starting in June 2022. No other plants applied for ZECs for this eligibility period. The BPU’s schedule to consider these applications includes the BPU Staff issuing their preliminary findings regarding ZEC eligibility and the value of ZEC payments for this period in December 2020, followed by public and evidentiary hearings and a final BPU decision by April 2021. PSEG Power is not aware of any changes from its ZEC application for the first eligibility period that would materially affect its ability to establish eligibility to be awarded ZECs during the second eligibility period. We cannot predict the outcome of either the BPU Staff’s preliminary findings or the BPU’s final determination.matters.
In the event that (i) the ZEC program is overturned or is otherwise materially adversely modified through legal process; (ii) the amount of ZEC payments that may be awarded or other terms and conditions of the second ZEC eligibility period proposed by the BPU Staff in the December 2020 preliminary findings or by the BPU in its final decision differ from those of the current ZEC period; or (iii)(ii) any of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants is not awarded ZEC payments by the BPUsufficiently valued for its environmental, fuel diversity or resilience attributes in future periods and does not otherwise experience a material financial change that would remove the need for such attributes to be sufficiently valued, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Alternatively, if alleven with sufficient valuation of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants are selected to continue to receive ZEC payments butthese attributes, if the financial condition of the plants is materially adversely impacted by changes in commodity prices, FERC’s changes to the capacity market construct (absent sufficient capacity revenues provided under a program approved by the BPU in accordance with a FERC-authorized capacity mechanism), or, in the case of the Salem nuclear plants, decisions by the EPA and state environmental regulators regarding the implementation of Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act and related state regulations, or other factors, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Ceasing operations of these plants would result in a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s results of operations.
Nuclear Refueling OutageTax Legislation
The Salem 1 nuclear generating plant entered a scheduled refueling outage in October 2020, which is expected to continue through mid-December 2020. In lightMarch 2021, the White House released an overview of the COVID-19American Jobs Plan. In April 2021, the Treasury Department issued The Made in America Tax Plan and in June 2021, the General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Proposals in the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. Each includes several tax-raising provisions that have not yet been enacted. The Made in America Tax Plan includes an increase in the federal corporate tax rate and a minimum tax levied on book earnings. If these provisions are enacted, it would have an unfavorable impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements and would increase PSE&G’s customers’ bills.
A prolonged coronavirus pandemic we have implemented additional health protocols to protect the health and safety of our employees and contractors, including daily health screenings, increased hygiene, physical distancing, PPE requirements and close-contact monitoring. During this outage, the plant’s main generator stator, which has reached the end of its useful life, is being replaced. The process for replacing Salem 1’s generator stator is highly complex. During the outage, we are also performing additional reactor vessel inspections and upgrades. Limitations due to additional health protocols, delays in replacing the main generator stator due to its complexity, or adverse findings from the reactor vessel inspectionsfurther economic stimulus could result in an extended outage and in turn, lower revenues and increased costs, whichfuture federal or state legislation that could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and cash tax position.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) was enacted in late December 2020. The CAA provides a 30% investment tax credit (ITC) for offshore wind projects that begin construction before December 31, 2025. In addition, on December 31, 2020, Notice 2021-05 was issued. For qualifying offshore wind projects, the results of operationsnotice extends the four year continuity safe harbor to ten calendar years commencing the calendar year after which construction of the plant and PSEG Power.project begins.
Offshore Wind
In June 2019, the BPU selected Ørsted US Offshore Wind’s Ocean Wind project as the winning bid in New Jersey’s initial solicitation for 1,100 MW of offshore wind generation. In October 2019, PSEG exercised its option on Ørsted’s Ocean Wind project, resulting in a period of exclusive negotiation for PSEG to potentially acquire a 25% equity interest in the project, subject to negotiations toward a joint venture agreement, advanced due diligence and any required regulatory approvals. Additionally, PSEG and Ørsted each owns 50% of Garden State Offshore Energy LLC (GSOE) which holds rights to an offshore wind lease area. PSEG and Ørsted are exploring other offshore wind opportunities through GSOE.

Tax Legislation
In July 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final and proposed regulations addressing the limitation on deductible business interest expense contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These regulations retroactively allow depreciation to be added back in computing the 30% adjusted taxable income (ATI) cap, increasing the amount of interest that can be deducted by unregulated businesses in years before 2022. For years2022 and after, 2021 the regulations continue to disallow the addback of depreciation in the computation of ATI, effectively lowering the cap on the amount of deductible business interest. The portion of PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s business interest expense that was disallowed in 2018 and 2019 will now be deductible in those respective years. PSEG is still in the process of analyzing these regulations, which may impact the financial condition and cash flows of PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power.
In March 2020, the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted. We continue to assess the impact of the tax aspects of theThe CARES Act on our resultsallows a five-year carryback of operationsany net operating loss (NOL) generated in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017 and cash flow. We expect that a prolonged coronavirus pandemic, the tax provisions of the CARES Act and any future coronavirus-related federal or state legislation could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and cash tax position.
Effectivebefore January 1, 2018, the Tax Act established tax laws including, but not limited to, a limitation on deductible interest and limitations on the utilization of net operating losses (NOLs), such as eliminating carrybacks.
In November 2018, the IRS issued proposed regulations addressing the interest disallowance rules contained in the Tax Act. For non-regulated businesses, the Tax Act enacted rules that set a cap on the amount of business interest that can be deducted in a given year. Any amount that is disallowed can be carried forward indefinitely. Amounts recorded under the Tax Act and the CARES Act, such as depreciation and business interest disallowance, are subject to change based on several factors, including but not limited to, the IRS and state taxing authorities issuing additional guidance and/or further clarification. Any such further guidance or clarification could impact PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 16. Income Taxes.
In July 2018, New Jersey made changes to its income tax laws, including requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. This provision includes an exemption for public utilities. We believe PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be included in the combined reporting group. We anticipate New Jersey will be issuing clarifying guidance regarding combined reporting rules. Any further guidance or clarification could impact PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s financial statements.2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is on a consolidated basis, noting the uses and contributions, where material, of our two direct major operating subsidiaries.
Operating Cash Flows
We continue to expect our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities to be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and provide opportunities for shareholder dividends.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our operating cash flow decreased $192$615 million as compared to the same period in 2019.2020. The net decrease was primarily due to the net changes from our subsidiaries, as discussed below, offset by net tax refunds in 20202021 as compared to net tax payments in 2019 at the parent company and lower tax payments in 2020 at Energy Holdings.
Given the current economic challenges, PSE&G has informed both our residential customers and state regulators that all non-safety related service disconnections for non-payment will be temporarily suspended. In addition, the currentCurrent economic conditions have adversely impacted residential and C&I customer payment patterns. During the moratorium, as previously discussed, PSE&G has experienced a significant decrease in cash inflow and higher Accounts Receivable aging and an associated increase in bad debt expense, which we expect will extend beyond the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. While the impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 has2021 was not been material, a prolonged coronavirus pandemic and the associated economic impacts, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic, is expected tocould materially impact cash from operations, Accounts Receivable and bad debt expense.
PSE&G
PSE&G’s operating cash flow decreased $57$319 million from $1,481$999 million to $1,424$680 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the same period in 2019,2020, due primarily to increases in electric energy and vendor payables, higher tax payments in 2020 as compared to tax refunds2021 and a lower reduction in 2019, a decrease of $97 million from higher accounts receivable and unbilled revenues in 2020 and a net decrease of $50 million deferred as Regulatory Assets due to storm and COVID-19 costs, reduced revenues from a warmer than normal winter, and an increase in the TAC with a partial offsetting decrease in transmission formula rate true-ups. These decreases were2021, partially offset by a $123 million increase largely due to lower BGS payments from decreased salesnet decrease in regulatory deferrals and higher earnings.

PSEG Power
PSEG Power’s operating cash flow decreased $362$272 million from $1,362$626 million to $1,000$354 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the same period in 2019,2020, due to lower earnings and a $313$321 million reduction resulting from an increase in counterpartyrelated to cash collateral posting requirements, in 2020 as compared to a significant reduction in postings in 2019, and tax payments in 2020 as compared to tax refunds in 2019, partially offset by higher earnings.a decrease of $53 million in payments to counterparties.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
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 2020, PSEG entered into a $300 million, 364-day term loan agreement.agreement which was prepaid in January 2021. In April 2020,May and March 2021, PSEG entered into two 364-day variable rate term loan agreements for $200$750 million and $300$500 million, which were prepaid in August 2020.respectively. These term loans are not included in the credit facility amounts presented in the following table.
Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 were as follows:

Our maximum liquidity requirements are based on stress scenarios that incorporate changes in commodity prices and the potential impact of PSEG Power losing its investment grade credit rating from S&P or Moody’s, which would represent a three level downgrade from its current Moody’s rating and a two level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s ratings.rating.

Pension and NDT Fund Obligations
IRS minimum funding requirements for pension plans are determined based on the fundfund’s assets and liabilities at the end of a calendar year for the subsequent calendar year. As a result, the market downturn associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not expected to impact our pension contributions in 2020. In the event of a prolonged economic downturn, associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, our contributions to the pension plans may increase in future periods to meet IRS minimum funding requirements. PSEG had accumulated funding credits totaling approximately $600 million through 2019,2020, which represent historical contributions in excess of IRS minimum funding requirements, and these credits can be applied to offset any future cash contribution obligations.
In addition, the NRC requires a biennial filing of the NDT fund balances against the decommissioning liability estimate. Any funding shortfalls are required to be cured prior to the next NRC reporting period. The market downturn associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not currently expected to result in any supplemental required funding of the NDT Fund. To the extent of a prolonged economic downturn, associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, our funding requirements may increase in future periods to meet NRC minimum funding requirements.
Common Stock Dividends
On July 21, 2020,20, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a $0.49$0.51 dividend per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2020.2021. This reflects an indicative annual dividend rate of $1.96$2.04 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

Table of Contents

businesses, alternate investment opportunities, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on our business and the capital and credit markets and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. For additional information related to cash dividends on our common stock, see Item 1. Note 18. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends.
Credit Ratings
If the rating agencies lower or withdraw our credit ratings, such revisions may adversely affect the market price of our securities and serve to materially increase our cost of capital and limit access to capital. Credit Ratings shown are for securities that we typically issue. Outlooks are shown for Issuer Credit Ratings (Moody’s) and Corporate Credit Ratings (S&P) and can be Stable, Negative, or Positive. In May 2021, Moody’s changed PSE&G’s outlook to Negative from Stable. 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 August 2020, S&P lowered PSEG Power’s Senior Note rating to BBB from BBB+.

There were no material changes to our projected capital expenditures at PSEG Power and Services as compared to amounts disclosed in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
In September 2020, the BPU issued an Order approving our CEF-EE program, authorizing PSE&G to spend $1 billion to achieve energy efficiency targets required under New Jersey’s Clean Energy law over a three-year period. The CEF-EE program was not included in PSE&G’s projected capital expenditures disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K. See Executive Overview of 2020 and Future Outlook for additional information.
PSE&G
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSE&G made capital expenditures of $1,777$1,219 million, primarily for T&D system reliability. This does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of $77$60 million, which are included in operating cash flows.
PSEG Power
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, PSEG Power made capital expenditures of $147$61 million, excluding $160$21 million for nuclear fuel, primarily related to various nuclear solar and fossil projects.

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

and options with approved counterparties. These contracts, in conjunction with physical sales and other services, help reduce risk and optimize the value of owned electric generation capacity.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) Models
VaR represents the potential losses, under normal market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. We estimate VaR across our commodity businesses.
MTM VaR consists of MTM derivatives that are economic hedges. The 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 JulyApril through September 2020,June 2021, MTM VaR was relatively stablevaried between a low of $5$7 million and a high of $12$33 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrowerwider for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to various lawsuits and environmental and regulatory matters, including in the ordinary course of business. For information regarding material legal proceedings, including updates to information reported in Item 3 of Part I of the Form 10-K, see Part I, Item 1. Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities and Item 5. Other Information in the first and second quarter 2020 10-Qs2021 10-Q and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1A in the first quarter 2020 10-Q, which describes various risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial position, results of operations or cash flows and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed elsewhere in this report. We expect that the risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q our first quarter 2020 10-Q and our Form 10-K will be further adversely impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and any related, sustained economic downturn, which could extend beyond the duration of the pandemic. In addition to the foregoing, the following risk factor should be read together with the risk factors in our first quarter 2020 10-Q and our Form 10-K.
The timeline and ultimate outcome of PSEG’s exploration of strategic alternatives relating to its non-nuclear generating fleet is uncertain.
In July 2020, PSEG announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives for PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet with the intention of accelerating the transformation of PSEG into a primarily regulated electric and gas utility, with a contracted generation business. PSEG further announced that it was then in the preliminary stages of this process and it anticipated beginning the marketing process in the fourth quarter of 2020, with the expectation that the process would be completed sometime in 2021.
The timeline and ultimate outcome of this process are uncertain. The ability of PSEG to divest all or a portion of these assets, and the applicable terms, conditions and timeline, will depend in large part on the participation of potentially interested parties and the value such parties place on the applicable assets. It is possible that third parties may wish to acquire all, a portion or none of the applicable assets, and the value that such third parties may place on such assets is uncertain. The process may further be impacted by, among other things, global and domestic market and economics conditions, conditions generally impacting the fossil and solar generating industries and changes in the regulatory environment. Any transaction agreement that

December 31, 20192020 Form 10-K page 1913 and June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 Form 10-Q page 92.82. In April 2019, FERC issued an order directing PJM and NYISO to change their rules governing pricing for fast-start resources. In its Order, FERC found that current fast-start pricing practices are unjust and unreasonable because they do not allow prices to reflect the marginal cost of serving load. FERC required PJM and NYISO to make various changes to their respective tariffs to allow the start-up costs of fast-start resources to be reflected in prices, among other things. In August 2019, PJM stated that new tariff provisions would apply fast-start pricing to all eligible fast-start resources. However, in January 2020, FERC decided to hold the proceeding in abeyance in order to allow PJM and its stakeholders to address FERC’s concern that PJM’s pricing and dispatch are misaligned. In December 2020, FERC issued an order accepting aspects of PJM’s proposed reforms, but also directed PJM to submit an additional filing, including an implementation date. In February 2021, PJM submitted the additional filing. In May 2018,2021, FERC accepted PJM’s compliance filing. Separately, FERC accepted an effective date of September 1, 2021 for implementation of the fast-start pricing rules.
Capacity Market Issues
December 31, 2020 Form 10-K page 13. In July 2021, PJM submitted to FERC a proposal to replace the expanded MOPR with new provisions that accommodate state public policy programs that do not attempt to set the price of capacity. Under the PJM proposal, PSEG Power’s New Jersey nuclear plants that receive ZEC payments will not be subject to the new MOPR. PJM’s proposal requests that FERC approve the new provisions for the RPM auction that is scheduled to be held in December 2021. We cannot predict the outcome of the FERC proceeding.
Transmission Rate Proceedings and Return on Equity
December 31, 2020 Form 10-K page 14. In July 2021, PSE&G submitted for FERC’s approval a settlement agreement effective August 1, 2021 that it reached with the BPU and the New Jersey governor signed legislation that requiresRate Counsel about the State’s electriclevel of PSE&G’s base transmission ROE and gas utilities to implement energy efficiency programs that are expected to achieve energy savings targets for electric and gas usage within five years of the utilities’ implementation of those BPU-approved energy efficiency programs. In June 2020, the BPU issued an order finalizing this stakeholder process, setting forth its conclusions and directives regarding utility energy efficiency programs, including the appropriate scope of utility programs versus programs run by the State, as well as utility cost recovery and the measurement of utility performance in achieving the State’s energy savings goals. In September 2020, PSE&G reached a settlement with all parties in the CEF-EE proceeding, which the BPU approved.other formula rate matters. The settlement provides for an investment of $1 billion over a three-year period. Costs will be recovered through annual rate-making, with returns aligned with our most recent base rate case and a ten-year amortization period.
In May 2020, the BPU initiated a stakeholder proceeding to consider the role of the State’s electric utilities in developing an EV ecosystem. In September 2020, the Board issued an order adopting a “shared responsibility model” pursuant to which the utilities’ role would be primarily to prepare sites for publicly accessible charging infrastructure. The order does not require PSE&G to refile its pending CEF–EV proposal.
New Jersey Solar Initiatives
December 31, 2019 Form 10-K page 19 and March 31, 2020 Form 10-Q pg. 82. Pursuant to New Jersey’s Clean Energy Act of 2018, the BPU was required to undertake several initiatives in connection with New Jersey’s solar energy market.
The BPU established a “Community Solar Energy Pilot Program,” permitting customers to participate in solar energy projects remotely located from their properties, and allowing for bill credits related to that participation effective in February 2019. The BPU is currently engaged in a stakeholder process with the State’s EDCs and others regarding issues including minor modifications to the community solar pilot program, discussions regarding the potential implementation of consolidated billing for the benefit of project developers and participants, and developing a cost recovery mechanism for the EDCs.
The New Jersey Clean Energy Act of 2018 required the BPU to close the existing solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) program to new applications at the earlier of June 1, 2021 or the date at which 5.1% of New Jersey retail electric sales are derived from solar. The 5.1% threshold was attained and the SREC market was closed to new applications on April 30, 2020, with limited exceptions related to the impact of COVID-19 on projects under development. Solar projects that failed to achieve commercial operation before April 30, 2020 may be entitled to receive transition renewable energy certificates (TRECs) for each megawatt hour of solar production. The New Jersey electric distribution companies (EDCs), including PSE&G, are required to purchase, using the services of a TREC administrator, TRECs from solar projects at rates set by the BPU. PSE&G filed for rate recovery of these costs in April 2020. In August 2020, the BPU approvedreduces PSE&G’s rate recovery filing. The BPU is continuingbase ROE from 11.18% to work with the state’s EDCs to establish the mechanisms for implementing the transition incentive program.

The settlement provides that the law defines as overburdened communities. With this law, settling parties will not seek changes to PSE&G’s transmission formula rate for three years. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of the FERC proceeding.
Reliability Standards
December 31, 2021 Form 10-K page 15. TheNorth American Electric Reliability Corporation is currently examining revised criteria for low-impact cyber systems, which could result in expanding the Critical Infrastructure Protection standards to a larger set of applicable cyber assets. This examination is expected to be completed in late 2021 or early 2022.
State Regulation
New Jersey has embarkedSolar Initiatives
December 31, 2020 Form 10-K page 16. In April 2021, the BPU released a proposal for a permanent solar financial incentive program, designated the Successor Program, drawing heavily from the current TREC fixed incentive program. Under this proposal, a Successor Program REC will be awarded for each MWh produced by an eligible solar project. During the second quarter of 2021, the BPU conducted a series of stakeholder workshops and a public meeting on the proposal. In July 2021, the BPU issued an order formally establishing the Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) Program to serve as the permanent program for providing solar incentives to qualified solar electric generation facilities. The program provides for administratively-set incentive payments applicable to net-metered projects of 5 MW or less and an annual competitive solicitation applicable to grid-supply projects and net-metered C&I projects in excess of 5 MW.
Environmental Matters
CO2 Regulation under theClean Air Act
December 31, 2020 Form 10-K page 19. In June 2019, the EPA issued its final Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule as a path towardreplacement for the repealed Clean Power Plan, a declared legislative goal that no community should bear “a disproportionate shareGHG emission regulation for existing power plants. The ACE rule narrowly defines the “best system of emissions reductions” (BSER) as heat improvements to be applied only to an individual unit, excluding other potential mechanisms to address climate change. In September 2019, a coalition of power companies, including PSEG, filed a Petition for Review of the adverse environmentalACE rule with the D.C. Circuit challenging the EPA’s narrow interpretation of BSER. In January 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated the ACE rule and public health consequences that accompany remanded the rulemaking to the EPA for further consideration. In April 2021, a 19-state coalition, led by West Virginia, filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the D.C. Circuit’s decision to vacate the ACE Rule. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter or estimate its impact on our business or results of operations.

The law does not go into effect untila New Jersey Executive Order, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) adopts implementing regulations.has undertaken a regulatory reform effort that is designed to modernize environmental laws, referred to as New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Threats (NJ PACT). When fully implemented, NJ PACT is expected to result in changes to existing environmental regulation, modernizing air quality and environmental land use regulations that will enable governments, businesses and residents to effectively respond to current climate threats and reduce future climate damages. In June 2021, the NJDEP took the first step by publishing the Proposed Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Reporting Rule. The NJDEP’s initial actionNJDEP proposes to require gas utilities to submit an annual report on replacement of mains and service lines in the State and to quantify maintenance-venting events, referred to as blowdown events. In addition, the NJDEP is proposing registration, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for facilities with a refrigeration system requiring 50 pounds or more of a refrigerant with high global warming potential. A “refrigeration system” includes industrial process refrigeration utilized at our nuclear facility.
