PSEG’s principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries are: • Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) —which is a public utility engaged principally in the transmission of electricity and distribution of electricity and natural gas in certain areas of New Jersey. PSE&G is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) 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. • PSEG Power LLC (PSEG Power) —which is a multi-regional energy supply company that integrates the operations of its merchant nuclear and fossil generating assets with its power marketing businesses and fuel supply functions through competitive energy sales in well-developed energy markets primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States through its principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, PSEG Power owns and operates solar generation in various states. PSEG Power’s subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states in which they operate. PSEG’s other direct wholly owned subsidiaries are: PSEG Long Island LLC (PSEG LI), which operates the Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) electric transmission and distribution (T&D) system under an Operations Services Agreement (OSA); PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (Energy Holdings), which primarily has investments in leveraged leases; and PSEG Services Corporation (Services), which provides certain management, administrative and general services to PSEG and its subsidiaries at cost. Basis of Presentation The respective financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting guidance generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes) should be read in conjunction with, and update and supplement matters discussed in, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts for the beginning (December 31, 2019) and ending periods shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits received related to various construction projects at PSE&G.

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. |

Basis of Presentation The respective financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting guidance generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes) should be read in conjunction with, and update and supplement matters discussed in, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts for the beginning (December 31, 2019) and ending periods shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Restricted cash consists primarily of deposits received related to various construction projects at PSE&G. PSE&G PSEG Power Other (A) Consolidated Millions As of December 31, 2019 Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 21 $ 21 $ 105 $ 147 Restricted Cash in Other Current Assets 11 — — 11 Restricted Cash in Other Noncurrent Assets 18 — — 18 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash $ 50 $ 21 $ 105 $ 176 As of September 30, 2020 Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 224 $ 15 $ 727 $ 966 Restricted Cash in Other Current Assets 11 — — 11 Restricted Cash in Other Noncurrent Assets 22 — — 22 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash $ 257 $ 15 $ 727 $ 999 (A) Includes amounts applicable to PSEG (parent company), Energy Holdings and Services.

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. |

Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards New Standards Issued and Adopted Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments — Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, updated by ASU 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-11 and 2020-02 This accounting standard provides a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets. The new model requires entities to use an estimate of expected credit losses that will be recognized as an impairment allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on past events, current conditions and supportable forecasts over a reasonable period. For purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, a similar model is used; however, the initial allowance is added to the purchase price rather than reported as an allowance. Credit losses on available- 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. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. Upon adoption, PSE&G recorded an increase of $8 million to 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 Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement — ASU 2018-13 This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Certain current disclosure requirements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements, and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements 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 Contract — ASU 2018-15 This accounting standard aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use 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. 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 Impairment — ASU 2017-04 This accounting standard requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. 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 Instruments — ASU 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. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting — ASU 2020-04 This accounting standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The standard is effective from its issuance date, March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. 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. New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2020 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans — ASU 2018-14 This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including the elimination of certain current disclosure requirements. Certain other disclosure requirements related to interest crediting rates have been added and certain clarifications were made to other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this standard will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its disclosures. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes — ASU 2019-12 This accounting standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes, including the elimination of certain exceptions to current requirements. Certain other requirements related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income, step-up of tax basis of goodwill and allocation of consolidated taxes to legal entities have been added and certain clarifications were made to other requirements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments in this standard will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Certain other amendments will be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments will be applied on a prospective basis. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements. Clarifying the Interactions between Investments-Equity Securities, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging — ASU 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. This accounting standard also clarifies that when accounting for contracts entered into to purchase equity securities, an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Amendments in this standard will be applied prospectively. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements. Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity — ASU 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. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Amendments in this standard will be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. PSEG does not currently have any convertible debt or convertible preferred stock outstanding. Codification Improvements to Callable Debt Securities — ASU 2020-08 This accounting standard clarifies that an entity should reevaluate for each reporting period whether a purchased callable debt security that has multiple call dates is within the scope of certain guidance on nonrefundable fees and other costs related to receivables. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is not permitted. Amendments |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | 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 weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues. PSEG Power Revenues from Contracts with Customers Electricity and Related Products —Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) and ancillary services representing PSEG Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. PSEG Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. PSEG Power generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity. PSEG Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, PSEG Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is reported on a gross basis and recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity. In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the BPU. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the units generate electricity, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are included in PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) Sales in the following tables. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions for additional information. Gas Contracts —PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full-requirements 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 PSEG Power enters into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms range from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations are generally solar power and RECs which are transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue is recognized upon generation of the solar power. PSEG Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers PSEG Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. PSEG Power is also a party to solar contracts that qualify as leases and are accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance. Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance.

(B) Includes primarily alternative revenues at PSE&G, derivative contracts and lease contracts at PSEG Power, and lease contracts in Other. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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% and 6% of accounts receivable (including unbilled revenues in 2020) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Receivable — Allowance 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 on the outstanding balances as of September 30, 2020. PSE&G’s electric bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause mechanism. As of September 30, 2020, 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. The following provides a reconciliation of PSE&G’s allowance for credit losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020: Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions Balance as of June 30, 2020 $ 121 Utility Customer and Other Accounts Provision 43 Write-offs, net of Recoveries of $1 million (6) Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 158 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions Balance as of January 1, 2020 (A) $ 68 Utility Customer and Other Accounts Provision 120 Write-offs, net of Recoveries of $4 million (30) Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 158 (A) Includes an $8 million pre-tax increase upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. See Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards. PSEG Power PSEG Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, PSEG Power had no material contract balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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: PSEG Power As previously stated, capacity transactions with ISOs are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. Capacity Revenues from the PJM Annual Base Residual and Incremental Auctions —The Base Residual Auction is generally conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. The 2022/2023 auction has yet to be held and is not expected until mid-2021. PSEG Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices resulting from the base and incremental auctions, including unit specific bilateral contracts for previously cleared capacity obligations. Delivery Year $ per MW-Day MW Cleared June 2020 to May 2021 $167 7,600 June 2021 to May 2022 $180 7,000 Capacity Payments from the ISO New England Forward Capacity Market (FCM) —The FCM Auction is conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. The table below includes PSEG Power’s cleared capacity in the FCM Auction for the Bridgeport Harbor Station 5 (BH5), which cleared the 2019/2020 auction at $231/MW-day for seven years, and the planned retirement of Bridgeport Harbor Station 3 (BH3) in May 2021. PSEG Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices for capacity obligations to be satisfied resulting from the FCM Auctions which have been completed through May 2024 and the seven-year rate lock for BH5 through May 2026: Delivery Year $ per MW-Day (A) MW Cleared June 2020 to May 2021 $195 1,330 June 2021 to May 2022 $192 950 June 2022 to May 2023 $179 950 June 2023 to May 2024 $152 930 June 2024 to May 2025 $231 480 June 2025 to May 2026 $231 480 (A) Capacity cleared prices for BH5 through 2026 will be escalated based upon the Handy-Whitman Index. These adjustments are not included above. Bilateral capacity contracts —Capacity obligations pursuant to contract terms through 2029 are anticipated to result in revenues totaling $146 million.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | 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 weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues. PSEG Power Revenues from Contracts with Customers Electricity and Related Products —Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) and ancillary services representing PSEG Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. PSEG Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. PSEG Power generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity. PSEG Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, PSEG Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is reported on a gross basis and recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity. In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the BPU. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the units generate electricity, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are included in PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) Sales in the following tables. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions for additional information. Gas Contracts —PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full-requirements 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 PSEG Power enters into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms range from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations are generally solar power and RECs which are transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue is recognized upon generation of the solar power. PSEG Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers PSEG Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. PSEG Power is also a party to solar contracts that qualify as leases and are accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance. Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance.

(B) Includes primarily alternative revenues at PSE&G, derivative contracts and lease contracts at PSEG Power, and lease contracts in Other. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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% and 6% of accounts receivable (including unbilled revenues in 2020) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Receivable — Allowance 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 on the outstanding balances as of September 30, 2020. PSE&G’s electric bad debt expense is recoverable through its Societal Benefits Clause mechanism. As of September 30, 2020, 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. The following provides a reconciliation of PSE&G’s allowance for credit losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020: Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions Balance as of June 30, 2020 $ 121 Utility Customer and Other Accounts Provision 43 Write-offs, net of Recoveries of $1 million (6) Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 158 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions Balance as of January 1, 2020 (A) $ 68 Utility Customer and Other Accounts Provision 120 Write-offs, net of Recoveries of $4 million (30) Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 158 (A) Includes an $8 million pre-tax increase upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. See Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards. PSEG Power PSEG Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, PSEG Power had no material contract balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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: PSEG Power As previously stated, capacity transactions with ISOs are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. Capacity Revenues from the PJM Annual Base Residual and Incremental Auctions —The Base Residual Auction is generally conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. The 2022/2023 auction has yet to be held and is not expected until mid-2021. PSEG Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices resulting from the base and incremental auctions, including unit specific bilateral contracts for previously cleared capacity obligations. Delivery Year $ per MW-Day MW Cleared June 2020 to May 2021 $167 7,600 June 2021 to May 2022 $180 7,000 Capacity Payments from the ISO New England Forward Capacity Market (FCM) —The FCM Auction is conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. The table below includes PSEG Power’s cleared capacity in the FCM Auction for the Bridgeport Harbor Station 5 (BH5), which cleared the 2019/2020 auction at $231/MW-day for seven years, and the planned retirement of Bridgeport Harbor Station 3 (BH3) in May 2021. PSEG Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices for capacity obligations to be satisfied resulting from the FCM Auctions which have been completed through May 2024 and the seven-year rate lock for BH5 through May 2026: Delivery Year $ per MW-Day (A) MW Cleared June 2020 to May 2021 $195 1,330 June 2021 to May 2022 $192 950 June 2022 to May 2023 $179 950 June 2023 to May 2024 $152 930 June 2024 to May 2025 $231 480 June 2025 to May 2026 $231 480 (A) Capacity cleared prices for BH5 through 2026 will be escalated based upon the Handy-Whitman Index. These adjustments are not included above. Bilateral capacity contracts —Capacity obligations pursuant to contract terms through 2029 are anticipated to result in revenues totaling $146 million.

Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions | Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions 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)). These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, and will be obligated to maintain operations during that period, subject to 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. 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. 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 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. The BPU’s decision awarding ZECs has been appealed by the New Jersey Rate Counsel. 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. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of either the BPU Staff’s preliminary findings or the BPU’s final determination. 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) any of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants is not awarded ZEC payments by the BPU and does not otherwise experience a material financial change, PSEG Power will take all necessary steps to cease to operate all of these plants. Alternatively, if all of the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek plants are selected to continue to receive ZEC payments but 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 and will incur associated costs and accounting charges. These may include, among other things, one-time impairment charges or accelerated Depreciation and Amortization Expense on the remaining carrying value of the plants, potential penalties associated with the early termination of capacity obligations and fuel contracts, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and, in certain circumstances potential additional funding of the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund, which would be material to both PSEG and PSEG Power. Non-Nuclear In July 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. PSEG intends to retain ownership of PSEG Power’s existing nuclear fleet. While PSEG is in the preliminary stage of this evaluation, the marketing of a potential transaction in one or a series of steps is anticipated to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, and any potential transaction is expected to be completed sometime in 2021. As a result, PSEG Power performed a recoverability test for impairment of its portfolio of generating assets in the PJM , NYISO and NEPOOL regions using a weighted probability cash flow analysis that considers the likelihood of a potential sale or disposition or continuing to operate the assets through their remaining estimated useful lives. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of each of the asset groups exceeded the carrying amount and no impairment was identified. However, certain assumptions are subject to change as the potential sales and marketing process progresses. 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. A change in the held-for-use classification of the remaining fossil and solar units may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s future financial results. In September 2020, PSEG Power completed the sale of its ownership interest in the Yards Creek generation facility. PSEG Power recorded a pre-tax gain on disposition of approximately $122 million in the third quarter of 2020 as the sale price was greater than book value. In September 2019, PSEG Power completed the sale of its ownership interests in the Keystone and Conemaugh generation plants and related assets and liabilities. PSEG Power recorded a pre-tax loss on disposition of approximately $400 million in the second quarter of 2019 as the sale price was less than book value. |

Variable Interest Entity [Line Items] | |
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) | Variable Interest Entity (VIE) VIE for which PSEG LI is the Primary Beneficiary PSEG LI consolidates Servco, a marginally capitalized VIE, which was created for the purpose of operating LIPA’s T&D system in Long Island, New York as well as providing administrative support functions to LIPA. PSEG LI is the primary beneficiary of Servco because it directs the operations of Servco, the activity that most significantly impacts Servco’s economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of Servco that could potentially be significant to Servco. Such losses would be immaterial to PSEG. Pursuant to the OSA, Servco’s operating costs are 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&M Expense, respectively. Servco recorded $145 million and $124 million for the three months and $397 million and $357 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of O&M costs, the full reimbursement of which was reflected in Operating Revenues. For transactions in which Servco acts as an agent for LIPA, it records revenues and the related expenses on a net basis, resulting in no impact on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. |

Rate Filings | 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. 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— In July 2020, the BPU authorized regulated utilities in the State 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 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. Deferred costs should be offset by any federal or state assistance that the utility may receive as a direct result 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. 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. PSE&G has made two quarterly filings as required by the BPU and recorded a Regulatory Asset of approximately $35 million in the third quarter of 2020 for net incremental costs which PSE&G believes are recoverable under the BPU order. Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency (CEF-EE), a New Component of the Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC)— In September 2020, the BPU approved 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 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. 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 produced by eligible solar projects, which will be funded through a TREC charge 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 effect 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. This matter is pending. Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC)— In October 2020, PSE&G made its annual 2020 TAC filing. The TAC allows for the flowback to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rates provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) as well as the accumulated deferred income taxes from previously realized tax repair deductions and tax benefits from future tax repair deductions as realized. The 2020 TAC filing requests BPU approval 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 2019 TAC 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 that certain 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 for the estimated undercollection resulting from the warmer-than-normal 2019-2020 Winter Period. 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. |

Financing Receivables | Financing Receivables 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 September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020, 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.” As of As of Outstanding Loans by Class of Customers September 30, December 31, Millions Commercial/Industrial $ 144 $ 156 Residential 7 8 Total 151 164 Current Portion (included in Accounts Receivable) (28) (28) Noncurrent Portion (included in Long-Term Investments) $ 123 $ 136 The solar loans originated under three Solar Loan Programs are comprised as follows: Programs Balance as of September 30, 2020 Funding Provided Residential Loan Term Non-Residential Loan Term Millions Solar Loan I $ 22 prior to 2013 10 years 15 years Solar Loan II 72 prior to 2015 10 years 15 years Solar Loan III 57 largely funded as of December 31, 2019 10 years 10 years Total $ 151 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 September 30, 2020 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 quarter of 2020, Energy Holdings completed its annual review of estimated residual values embedded in domestic energy leveraged leases and determined no impairments were necessary. During the second quarter of 2019, the outcome of Energy Holdings’ annual review indicated that the updated residual value estimate of the coal-fired Powerton lease was lower than the recorded residual value and the decline was deemed to be other than temporary as a result of expected future adverse market conditions. As a result, a pre-tax write-down of $58 million was reflected in Operating Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, calculated by comparing the gross investment in the leases before and after the revised residual estimates. 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 loss, net of taxes, resulting from the transaction was immaterial. Leveraged leases outstanding as of September 30, 2020 commenced in or prior to 2000. The following table shows Energy Holdings’ gross and net lease investment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Shawville Units, wholly owned by PSEG, are 596 MW gas-fired assets located in Pennsylvania and Shawville Power, LLC is the lease counterparty. As of September 30, 2020, the gross investment in the lease of Shawville assets, net of non-recourse debt, was $72 million ($4 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 believes no credit losses are necessary for the leveraged leases existing on September 30, 2020. 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. |

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.

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.

As a result, the market downturn associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not expected to impact PSEG’s pension contributions in 2020. Servco Pension and OPEB At the direction of LIPA, Servco sponsors benefit plans that cover its current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria. Under the OSA, all of these and any future employee benefit costs are to be funded by LIPA. See Note 5. Variable Interest Entity. These obligations, as well as the offsetting long-term receivable, are separately presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PSEG. Servco amounts are not included in any of the preceding pension and OPEB cost disclosures. Pension and OPEB costs of Servco are accounted for according to the OSA. Servco recognizes expenses for contributions to its pension plan trusts and for OPEB payments made to retirees. Operating Revenues are recognized for the reimbursement of these costs. As of September 30, 2020, Servco completed its entire 2020 annual planned contribution into its pension plan. 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 did not impact Servco’s pension contributions in 2020. |

As a result, the market downturn associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not expected to impact PSEG’s pension contributions in 2020. Servco Pension and OPEB At the direction of LIPA, Servco sponsors benefit plans that cover its current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria. Under the OSA, all of these and any future employee benefit costs are to be funded by LIPA. See Note 5. Variable Interest Entity. These obligations, as well as the offsetting long-term receivable, are separately presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PSEG. Servco amounts are not included in any of the preceding pension and OPEB cost disclosures. Pension and OPEB costs of Servco are accounted for according to the OSA. Servco recognizes expenses for contributions to its pension plan trusts and for OPEB payments made to retirees. Operating Revenues are recognized for the reimbursement of these costs. As of September 30, 2020, Servco completed its entire 2020 annual planned contribution into its pension plan. 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 did not impact Servco’s pension contributions in 2020. |

Loss Contingencies [Line Items] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | 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. The following table shows the face value of PSEG Power’s outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of As of September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Millions Face Value of Outstanding Guarantees $ 1,828 $ 1,854 Exposure under Current Guarantees $ 86 $ 171 Letters of Credit Margin Posted $ 135 $ 121 Letters of Credit Margin Received $ 42 $ 29 Cash Deposited and Received: Counterparty Cash Collateral Deposited $ — $ — Counterparty Cash Collateral Received $ (1) $ (4) Net Broker Balance Deposited (Received) $ 57 $ 48 Additional Amounts Posted: Other Letters of Credit $ 52 $ 82 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 one 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 May 2020, the CPG submitted a revised draft 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 incorporated the EPA’s comments on an earlier FS draft. The EPA’s selection of its preferred adaptive management scenario will be subject to public review and comment prior to the EPA’s announcement of a final selection, which is expected in 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. As of September 30, 2020, PSEG has approximately $65 million accrued for this matter. Of this amount, PSE&G has an Environmental Costs Liability of $52 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. 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 million and $377 million on an undiscounted basis through 2023, including its $52 million share for the Passaic River as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $339 million as of September 30, 2020. Of this amount, $78 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $261 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $339 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 conducting 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 an impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy. Clean Water Act (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 PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers who choose not to purchase electric supply from third-party suppliers. The first category, which represents about 80% of PSE&G’s load requirement, is residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers (BGS-Residential Small Commercial Pricing (RSCP)). The second category is larger customers that exceed a BPU-established load (kW) threshold (BGS-Commercial and Industrial Energy Pricing (CIEP)). Pursuant to applicable BPU rules, PSE&G enters into the Supplier Master Agreement with the winners of these BGS auctions following the BPU’s approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with winning BGS suppliers, including PSEG Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the auction (including PSEG Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM Load-Serving Entity including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards. The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 2020 is $359.98 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2020 of $281.78 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: Auction Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 36-Month Terms Ending May 2020 May 2021 May 2022 May 2023 (A) Load (MW) 2,800 2,900 2,800 2,800 $ per MWh $90.78 $91.77 $98.04 $102.16 (A) Prices set in the 2020 BGS auction became effective on June 1, 2020 when the 2017 BGS auction agreements expired. 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. 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 2021 and a significant portion through 2022 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom. PSEG Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, PSEG Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey. As of September 30, 2020, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows: Fuel Type PSEG Power’s Share of Commitments through 2024 Millions Nuclear Fuel Uranium $ 180 Enrichment $ 279 Fabrication $ 152 Natural Gas $ 1,164 Pending FERC Matter PSE&G has received requests for information and a Notice of Investigation from FERC’s Office of Enforcement concerning a transmission project. PSE&G retained outside counsel to assist with an internal investigation. PSE&G is fully cooperating with FERC’s requests for information and the investigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. 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 within the New York State Public Service Commission launched an investigation of state electric service providers, including PSEG LI, and other state telephone, cable and internet providers into their preparation and restoration efforts following Tropical Storm Isaias. LIPA also initiated its own review of PSEG LI’s performance. PSEG LI agreed with LIPA that it would fund claims by customers for food and medication spoilage costs incurred as a result of being without electric service during the storm up to the amount of incentive compensation earned by PSEG LI in 2020. PSEG LI does not expect the claims to be material. PSEG LI is fully cooperating in each of these inquiries, which remain ongoing. PSEG LI cannot predict their outcome. Pending BPU Audit of PSE&G In September 2020, the BPU ordered the commencement of a comprehensive affiliate and management audit of PSE&G. 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. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. Litigation Sewaren 7 Construction In June 2018, a complaint was filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey against PSEG Fossil LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that PSEG Power withheld money owed to Durr and that PSEG Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. PSEG Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. 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 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, 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. |

These guarantees support various other non-commodity related obligations. The following table shows the face value of PSEG Power’s outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of As of September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Millions Face Value of Outstanding Guarantees $ 1,828 $ 1,854 Exposure under Current Guarantees $ 86 $ 171 Letters of Credit Margin Posted $ 135 $ 121 Letters of Credit Margin Received $ 42 $ 29 Cash Deposited and Received: Counterparty Cash Collateral Deposited $ — $ — Counterparty Cash Collateral Received $ (1) $ (4) Net Broker Balance Deposited (Received) $ 57 $ 48 Additional Amounts Posted: Other Letters of Credit $ 52 $ 82 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 one 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 May 2020, the CPG submitted a revised draft 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 incorporated the EPA’s comments on an earlier FS draft. The EPA’s selection of its preferred adaptive management scenario will be subject to public review and comment prior to the EPA’s announcement of a final selection, which is expected in 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. As of September 30, 2020, PSEG has approximately $65 million accrued for this matter. Of this amount, PSE&G has an Environmental Costs Liability of $52 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. 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 million and $377 million on an undiscounted basis through 2023, including its $52 million share for the Passaic River as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $339 million as of September 30, 2020. Of this amount, $78 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $261 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $339 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 conducting 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 an impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy. Clean Water Act (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 PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers who choose not to purchase electric supply from third-party suppliers. The first category, which represents about 80% of PSE&G’s load requirement, is residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers (BGS-Residential Small Commercial Pricing (RSCP)). The second category is larger customers that exceed a BPU-established load (kW) threshold (BGS-Commercial and Industrial Energy Pricing (CIEP)). Pursuant to applicable BPU rules, PSE&G enters into the Supplier Master Agreement with the winners of these BGS auctions following the BPU’s approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with winning BGS suppliers, including PSEG Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The winners of the auction (including PSEG Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM Load-Serving Entity including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards. The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 2020 is $359.98 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2020 of $281.78 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: Auction Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 36-Month Terms Ending May 2020 May 2021 May 2022 May 2023 (A) Load (MW) 2,800 2,900 2,800 2,800 $ per MWh $90.78 $91.77 $98.04 $102.16 (A) Prices set in the 2020 BGS auction became effective on June 1, 2020 when the 2017 BGS auction agreements expired. 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. 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 2021 and a significant portion through 2022 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom. PSEG Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, PSEG Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey. As of September 30, 2020, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows: Fuel Type PSEG Power’s Share of Commitments through 2024 Millions Nuclear Fuel Uranium $ 180 Enrichment $ 279 Fabrication $ 152 Natural Gas $ 1,164 Pending FERC Matter PSE&G has received requests for information and a Notice of Investigation from FERC’s Office of Enforcement concerning a transmission project. PSE&G retained outside counsel to assist with an internal investigation. PSE&G is fully cooperating with FERC’s requests for information and the investigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. 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 within the New York State Public Service Commission launched an investigation of state electric service providers, including PSEG LI, and other state telephone, cable and internet providers into their preparation and restoration efforts following Tropical Storm Isaias. LIPA also initiated its own review of PSEG LI’s performance. PSEG LI agreed with LIPA that it would fund claims by customers for food and medication spoilage costs incurred as a result of being without electric service during the storm up to the amount of incentive compensation earned by PSEG LI in 2020. PSEG LI does not expect the claims to be material. PSEG LI is fully cooperating in each of these inquiries, which remain ongoing. PSEG LI cannot predict their outcome. Pending BPU Audit of PSE&G In September 2020, the BPU ordered the commencement of a comprehensive affiliate and management audit of PSE&G. 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. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. Litigation Sewaren 7 Construction In June 2018, a complaint was filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey against PSEG Fossil LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that PSEG Power withheld money owed to Durr and that PSEG Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. PSEG Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. 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 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, 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. |

Loss Contingencies [Line Items] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | 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. The following table shows the face value of PSEG Power’s outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of As of September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Millions Face Value of Outstanding Guarantees $ 1,828 $ 1,854 Exposure under Current Guarantees $ 86 $ 171 Letters of Credit Margin Posted $ 135 $ 121 Letters of Credit Margin Received $ 42 $ 29 Cash Deposited and Received: Counterparty Cash Collateral Deposited $ — $ — Counterparty Cash Collateral Received $ (1) $ (4) Net Broker Balance Deposited (Received) $ 57 $ 48 Additional Amounts Posted: Other Letters of Credit $ 52 $ 82 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.

BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards. The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 2020 is $359.98 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2020 of $281.78 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: Auction Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 36-Month Terms Ending May 2020 May 2021 May 2022 May 2023 (A) Load (MW) 2,800 2,900 2,800 2,800 $ per MWh $90.78 $91.77 $98.04 $102.16 (A) Prices set in the 2020 BGS auction became effective on June 1, 2020 when the 2017 BGS auction agreements expired. 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. 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 2021 and a significant portion through 2022 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom. PSEG Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, PSEG Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey. As of September 30, 2020, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows: Fuel Type PSEG Power’s Share of Commitments through 2024 Millions Nuclear Fuel Uranium $ 180 Enrichment $ 279 Fabrication $ 152 Natural Gas $ 1,164 Pending FERC Matter PSE&G has received requests for information and a Notice of Investigation from FERC’s Office of Enforcement concerning a transmission project. PSE&G retained outside counsel to assist with an internal investigation. PSE&G is fully cooperating with FERC’s requests for information and the investigation. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. 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 within the New York State Public Service Commission launched an investigation of state electric service providers, including PSEG LI, and other state telephone, cable and internet providers into their preparation and restoration efforts following Tropical Storm Isaias. LIPA also initiated its own review of PSEG LI’s performance. PSEG LI agreed with LIPA that it would fund claims by customers for food and medication spoilage costs incurred as a result of being without electric service during the storm up to the amount of incentive compensation earned by PSEG LI in 2020. PSEG LI does not expect the claims to be material. PSEG LI is fully cooperating in each of these inquiries, which remain ongoing. PSEG LI cannot predict their outcome. Pending BPU Audit of PSE&G In September 2020, the BPU ordered the commencement of a comprehensive affiliate and management audit of PSE&G. 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. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter. Litigation Sewaren 7 Construction In June 2018, a complaint was filed in federal court in Newark, New Jersey against PSEG Fossil LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSEG Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that PSEG Power withheld money owed to Durr and that PSEG Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. PSEG Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. 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 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, 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. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosures [Line Items] | |
Financial Risk Management Activities | 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 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) million and $(15) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are $(4) 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. As of September 30, 2020 PSEG Power (A) PSEG (A) Consolidated Not Designated Cash Flow Hedges Balance Sheet Location Energy- Netting Total Interest Total Millions Derivative Contracts Current Assets $ 383 $ (337) $ 46 $ — $ 46 Noncurrent Assets 133 (116) 17 — 17 Total Mark-to-Market Derivative Assets $ 516 $ (453) $ 63 $ — $ 63 Derivative Contracts Current Liabilities $ (333) $ 327 $ (6) $ (2) $ (8) Noncurrent Liabilities (126) 125 (1) — (1) Total Mark-to-Market Derivative (Liabilities) $ (459) $ 452 $ (7) $ (2) $ (9) Total Net Mark-to-Market Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 57 $ (1) $ 56 $ (2) $ 54 As of December 31, 2019 PSEG Power (A) PSEG (A) Consolidated Not Designated Cash Flow Hedges Balance Sheet Location Energy- Netting Total Interest Total Millions Derivative Contracts Current Assets $ 636 $ (523) $ 113 $ — $ 113 Noncurrent Assets 163 (139) 24 — 24 Total Mark-to-Market Derivative Assets $ 799 $ (662) $ 137 $ — $ 137 Derivative Contracts Current Liabilities $ (553) $ 522 $ (31) $ (5) $ (36) Noncurrent Liabilities (139) 138 (1) — (1) Total Mark-to-Market Derivative (Liabilities) $ (692) $ 660 $ (32) $ (5) $ (37) Total Net Mark-to-Market Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 107 $ (2) $ 105 $ (5) $ 100 (A) Substantially all of PSEG Power’s and PSEG’s derivative instruments are contracts subject to master netting agreements. Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. (B) Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral (received) posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had net cash collateral (receipts) payments to counterparties of $56 million and $44 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral (receipts) payments, $(1) million and $(2) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(1) million as of September 30, 2020, $(11) million was netted against current assets, $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets, and $11 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities. Of the $(2) million as of December 31, 2019, $(1) million was netted against current assets and $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets. 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 S&P or Moody’s ratings. This incremental collateral requirement can offset collateral requirements related to other derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master agreements. PSEG Power also enters into commodity transactions on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as counterparties to each trade. Transactions on the NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margin requirements. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the NYMEX and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $16 million and $35 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $11 million and $2 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 million and $33 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral. The following shows the effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019: Derivatives in Cash Flow Amount of Pre-Tax Location of Amount of Pre-Tax Three Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Millions Millions PSEG Interest Rate Swaps $ — $ — Interest Expense $ (5) $ (1) Total PSEG $ — $ — $ (5) $ (1) Derivatives in Cash Flow Amount of Pre-Tax Location of Amount of Pre-Tax Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Millions Millions PSEG Interest Rate Swaps $ (6) $ (24) Interest Expense $ (11) $ (2) Total PSEG $ (6) $ (24) $ (11) $ (2) The effect of interest rate cash flow hedges is recorded in Interest Expense in PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the amount of gain or loss on interest rate hedges reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into income was $(4) million and $(8) million after-tax, respectively. The amount of gain or loss on interest rate hedges reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $(1) million.

PSEG has established credit policies that it believes significantly minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on PSEG Power’s and PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows. The following table provides information on PSEG Power’s credit risk from wholesale counterparties, net of collateral, as of September 30, 2020. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, which is determined by the lowest rating from S&P, Moody’s or an internal scoring model. In addition, it provides guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the quality of PSEG Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. As of September 30, 2020, 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). Rating Current Securities Held as Collateral Net Number of Net Exposure of Millions Millions Investment Grade $ 244 $ 34 $ 210 3 $ 120 (A) Non-Investment Grade 2 — 2 — — Total $ 246 $ 34 $ 212 3 $ 120 (A) Represents net exposure of $50 million with PSE&G and $70 million with two non-affiliated counterparties. As of September 30, 2020, collateral held from counterparties where PSEG Power had credit exposure included $1 million in cash collateral and $33 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2020, PSEG Power had 128 active counterparties. PSE&G’s supplier master agreements are approved by the BPU and govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts. These agreements define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements and allow a supplier to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day the procurement transaction is executed, compared to the forward price curve for energy on the valuation day. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post a parental guaranty or other security instrument such as a letter of credit or cash, as collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. As of September 30, 2020, primarily all of the posted collateral was in the form of parental guarantees. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents PSE&G’s net credit exposure. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of September 30, 2020, 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. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosures [Line Items] | |
Financial Risk Management Activities | 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 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) million and $(15) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are $(4) 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.

Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. (B) Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral (received) posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had net cash collateral (receipts) payments to counterparties of $56 million and $44 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral (receipts) payments, $(1) million and $(2) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(1) million as of September 30, 2020, $(11) million was netted against current assets, $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets, and $11 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities. Of the $(2) million as of December 31, 2019, $(1) million was netted against current assets and $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets. 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 S&P or Moody’s ratings. This incremental collateral requirement can offset collateral requirements related to other derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master agreements. PSEG Power also enters into commodity transactions on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as counterparties to each trade. Transactions on the NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margin requirements. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the NYMEX and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $16 million and $35 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $11 million and $2 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 million and $33 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

PSEG has established credit policies that it believes significantly minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on PSEG Power’s and PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows. The following table provides information on PSEG Power’s credit risk from wholesale counterparties, net of collateral, as of September 30, 2020. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, which is determined by the lowest rating from S&P, Moody’s or an internal scoring model. In addition, it provides guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the quality of PSEG Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. As of September 30, 2020, 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). Rating Current Securities Held as Collateral Net Number of Net Exposure of Millions Millions Investment Grade $ 244 $ 34 $ 210 3 $ 120 (A) Non-Investment Grade 2 — 2 — — Total $ 246 $ 34 $ 212 3 $ 120 (A) Represents net exposure of $50 million with PSE&G and $70 million with two non-affiliated counterparties. As of September 30, 2020, collateral held from counterparties where PSEG Power had credit exposure included $1 million in cash collateral and $33 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2020, PSEG Power had 128 active counterparties. PSE&G’s supplier master agreements are approved by the BPU and govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts. These agreements define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements and allow a supplier to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day the procurement transaction is executed, compared to the forward price curve for energy on the valuation day. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post a parental guaranty or other security instrument such as a letter of credit or cash, as collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. As of September 30, 2020, primarily all of the posted collateral was in the form of parental guarantees. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents PSE&G’s net credit exposure. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of September 30, 2020, 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. |

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

(B) Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange. Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts 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. (C) The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency in the NDT Fund of $1 million and $2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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 nonperformance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Levels 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data, in its assessment of credit and nonperformance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements. The fair value of PSEG Power’s electric load contracts in which load consumption may change hourly based on demand are measured using certain unobservable inputs, such as historic load variability and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of PSEG Power’s gas physical contracts at certain illiquid delivery locations are measured using average historical basis and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. While these physical gas 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. The following tables provide details surrounding significant Level 3 valuations as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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.

(B) Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange. Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts 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. (C) The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency in the NDT Fund of $1 million and $2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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 nonperformance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Levels 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data, in its assessment of credit and nonperformance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements. The fair value of PSEG Power’s electric load contracts in which load consumption may change hourly based on demand are measured using certain unobservable inputs, such as historic load variability and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of PSEG Power’s gas physical contracts at certain illiquid delivery locations are measured using average historical basis and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. While these physical gas 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. The following tables provide details surrounding significant Level 3 valuations as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Level 3 derivative contracts and securities for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, follows: Changes in Level 3 Assets and (Liabilities) Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Description Balance as of June 30, 2020 Total Gains or (Losses) Purchases Issuances/ Transfers Balance as of September 30, 2020 Millions PSEG and PSEG Power Net Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 10 $ (2) $ — $ (8) $ — $ — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Description Balance as of December 31, 2019 Total Gains or (Losses) Purchases Issuances/ Transfers Balance as of September 30, 2020 Millions PSEG and PSEG Power Net Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 7 $ 7 $ — $ (14) $ — $ — Changes in Level 3 Assets and (Liabilities) Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Description Balance as of June 30, 2019 Total Gains or (Losses) Purchases Issuances/ Transfers Balance as of September 30, 2019 Millions PSEG and PSEG Power Net Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 4 $ 1 $ — $ (4) $ — $ 1 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Description Balance as of December 31, 2018 Total Gains or (Losses) Purchases Issuances/ Transfers Balance as of September 30, 2019 Millions PSEG and PSEG Power Net Derivative Assets (Liabilities) $ 1 $ 10 $ — $ (10) $ — $ 1 (A) Unrealized gains (losses) in the following table represent the change in derivative assets and liabilities still held as of September 30, 2020 and 2019. .

(C) There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of September 30, 2020, PSEG carried $3.5 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which balances measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy were immaterial. As of September 30, 2019, PSEG carried $2.4 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which $1 million of net assets was measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value of Debt The estimated fair values were determined using the market quotations or values of instruments with similar terms, credit ratings, remaining maturities and redemptions as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements | 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, including the fair value measurements and the levels of inputs used in determining those fair values.

(C) The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency in the NDT Fund of $1 million and $2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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).

Income Taxes | 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 Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 PSEG 17.4% 6.9% 15.7% 11.2% PSE&G 11.3% 6.5% 15.9% 6.1% PSEG Power 31.7% 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 the normalization 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. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) In March 2020, 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 reduce PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s 2020 taxable income. The CARES Act also reversed certain NOL provisions from the 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 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 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 within the next twelve months. 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. |

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. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) In March 2020, 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 reduce PSEG’s and PSEG Power’s 2020 taxable income. The CARES Act also reversed certain NOL provisions from the 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 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 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 within the next twelve months. 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. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends | Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends EPS Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding or vesting of restricted stock awards granted under PSEG’s stock compensation plans and upon payment of performance share units or restricted stock units. The following table shows the effect of these stock options, performance share units and restricted stock units on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted EPS: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Basic Diluted Basic Diluted Basic Diluted Basic Diluted EPS Numerator (Millions): Net Income $ 575 $ 575 $ 403 $ 403 $ 1,474 $ 1,474 $ 1,256 $ 1,256 EPS Denominator (Millions): Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding 504 504 504 504 504 504 504 504 Effect of Stock Based Compensation Awards — 3 — 3 — 3 — 3 Total Shares 504 507 504 507 504 507 504 507 EPS Net Income $ 1.15 $ 1.14 $ 0.80 $ 0.79 $ 2.93 $ 2.91 $ 2.49 $ 2.47 Dividends Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Dividend Payments on Common Stock 2020 2019 2020 2019 Per Share $ 0.49 $ 0.47 $ 1.47 $ 1.41 In Millions $ 248 $ 238 $ 743 $ 713 |

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |
New Accounting Standards | New Standards Issued and Adopted Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments — Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, updated by ASU 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-11 and 2020-02 This accounting standard provides a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets. The new model requires entities to use an estimate of expected credit losses that will be recognized as an impairment allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on past events, current conditions and supportable forecasts over a reasonable period. For purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, a similar model is used; however, the initial allowance is added to the purchase price rather than reported as an allowance. Credit losses on available- 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. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. Upon adoption, PSE&G recorded an increase of $8 million to 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 Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement — ASU 2018-13 This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Certain current disclosure requirements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements, and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements 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 Contract — ASU 2018-15 This accounting standard aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use 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. 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 Impairment — ASU 2017-04 This accounting standard requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. 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 Instruments — ASU 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. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting — ASU 2020-04 This accounting standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The standard is effective from its issuance date, March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. 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. New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2020 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans — ASU 2018-14 This accounting standard modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including the elimination of certain current disclosure requirements. Certain other disclosure requirements related to interest crediting rates have been added and certain clarifications were made to other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Amendments in this standard will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its disclosures. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes — ASU 2019-12 This accounting standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes, including the elimination of certain exceptions to current requirements. Certain other requirements related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income, step-up of tax basis of goodwill and allocation of consolidated taxes to legal entities have been added and certain clarifications were made to other requirements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments in this standard will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Certain other amendments will be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments will be applied on a prospective basis. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements. Clarifying the Interactions between Investments-Equity Securities, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging — ASU 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. This accounting standard also clarifies that when accounting for contracts entered into to purchase equity securities, an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Amendments in this standard will be applied prospectively. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements. Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity — ASU 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. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Amendments in this standard will be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. PSEG does not currently have any convertible debt or convertible preferred stock outstanding. Codification Improvements to Callable Debt Securities — ASU 2020-08 This accounting standard clarifies that an entity should reevaluate for each reporting period whether a purchased callable debt security that has multiple call dates is within the scope of certain guidance on nonrefundable fees and other costs related to receivables. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is not permitted. Amendments |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue [Policy Text Block] | 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 weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues. PSEG Power Revenues from Contracts with Customers Electricity and Related Products —Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) and ancillary services representing PSEG Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. PSEG Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. PSEG Power generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity. PSEG Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on PSEG Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, PSEG Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is reported on a gross basis and recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity. In April 2019, PSEG Power’s Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants were awarded Zero Emission Certificates (ZECs) by the BPU. These nuclear plants are expected to receive ZEC revenue for approximately three years, through May 2022, from the electric distribution companies (EDCs) in New Jersey. PSEG Power recognizes revenue when the units generate electricity, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are included in PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) Sales in the following tables. See Note 4. Early Plant Retirements/Asset Dispositions for additional information. Gas Contracts —PSEG Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full-requirements 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 PSEG Power enters into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms range from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations are generally solar power and RECs which are transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue is recognized upon generation of the solar power. PSEG Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers PSEG Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 13. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. PSEG Power is also a party to solar contracts that qualify as leases and are accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance. Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction. Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance. |

(B) Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange. Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts 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. (C) The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency in the NDT Fund of $1 million and $2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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.

Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. | ||
[2] | Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral (received) posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, PSEG Power had net cash collateral (receipts) payments to counterparties of $56 million and $44 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral (receipts) payments, $(1) million and $(2) million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(1) million as of September 30, 2020, $(11) million was netted against current assets, $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets, and $11 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities. Of the $(2) million as of December 31, 2019, $(1) million was netted against current assets and $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets | ||
[3] | Represents money market mutual funds. | ||
[4] | Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange.Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts 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. | ||
[5] | 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. | ||
[6] | 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. | ||
[7] | The fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency in the NDT Fund of $1 million and $2 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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. |

[1] | 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. | ||
[2] | 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. |
