"PSEG delivered a solid operating and financial performance to begin the year. Our service territory experienced multiple cold spells in January and February with temperatures remaining below 20°F for several days in a row, prompting the highest winter peak load for both gas and electric in the last six years.  During these challenging conditions, our electric and gas operations maintained high levels of reliability and efficient customer response times," said Ralph LaRossa, PSEG's chair, president and CEO.

"Our regulated capital investment plan for 2025 remains focused on infrastructure replacement and modernization to ensure safe and reliable service, and to meet growing customer demand. PSE&G also began rolling out the second phase of its Clean Energy Future - Energy Efficiency II program, which helps customers save energy, lower their bills and reduce carbon emissions while supporting job training and economic growth in New Jersey."

"PSE&G experienced another quarterly increase in large load inquiries for new service connections.  This pipeline totaled over 6,400 MW of capacity requested as of March 31, and our engineers have been responding to these inquiries on a timely basis – still averaging about four months.  Our speed to response is supportive of the state objective to spur economic development.  To the extent these large load prospects convert into new utility customers in the future, fixed costs are spread over a larger user base, which helps to lower existing customer bills." 

"At PSEG Nuclear, we generated approximately 8.4 terawatt hours of energy during the first quarter, supplying the grid with 24x7, carbon-free power and achieving a capacity factor of 99.9%."

LaRossa added, "PSEG's focus on increasing the predictability of our results continues to benefit both customers and the company, aided by our Conservation Incentive Program, and deferral mechanisms from the recently concluded rate case.  We also constantly manage our cost structure to keep bills as low as possible.  Preserving PSEG's financial flexibility helps us to accomplish our financial and strategic goals, including executing on PSE&G's regulated capital investment plan, which is on track and on budget."

"PSEG continues to pursue opportunities to grow our existing 5% to 7% compound annual growth outlook for non-GAAP Operating Earnings over the 2025 to 2029 period, including the potential to contract our nuclear output under long-term agreements."

"PSEG also declared a first-quarter common stock dividend of $0.63 per share, representing an indicative annual rate of $2.52 per share, a 5% increase for 2025," said LaRossa.

PSE&G's results for the first quarter reflect new electric and gas base distribution rates in effect for a full quarter following the October 15, 2024 implementation date.  This increase in revenue reflected over $3 billion of investments made in the electric and gas systems over the past several years.  The improvement in results also reflects the seasonality of higher gas revenue collection during the winter months, which was partly offset by higher operation and maintenance costs as well as higher depreciation and interest expense from recent capital investments.

PSEG Power & Other results for the quarter reflect the positive impact of our consistent and reliable nuclear generation performance coupled with higher realized prices, primarily driven by the cold weather experienced in January and February. 

PSEG will host a conference call to review its first quarter 2025 results, earnings guidance, and other matters with the financial community at 11:00 a.m. ET today.  Please register to access this event by visiting:

Guided by its Powering Progress vision, PSEG aims to power a future where people use less energy, and it's cleaner, safer and delivered more reliably than ever.  PSEG is a member of the S&P 500 Index and has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for 17 consecutive years. PSEG's businesses include Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G), PSEG Power and PSEG Long Island (https://corporate.pseg.com).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP Operating Earnings in its internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a consistent measure for comparing PSEG's financial performance to previous financial results. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings exclude the impact of gains (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and other material infrequent items.

See Attachments 7 and 8 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings. The presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings is intended to complement and should not be considered an alternative to the presentation of Net Income, which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP Operating Earnings as presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Due to the forward-looking nature of non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance, PSEG is unable to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because comparable GAAP measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be required for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably project without unreasonable effort MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters discussed in this report about our and our subsidiaries' future performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies, prospects, consequences, and all other statements that are not purely historical constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Such statements are based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used herein, the words "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "should," "hypothetical," "potential," "forecast," "project," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements made by us herein are discussed in filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. These factors include, but are not limited to:

  • disruptions or cost increases in our supply chain, including labor shortages;
  • any inability to maintain sufficient liquidity or access sufficient capital on commercially reasonable terms;
  • the impact of cybersecurity attacks or intrusions or other disruptions to our information technology, operational or other systems;
  • an increasing demand for power and load growth, potentially compounded by a shift away from natural gas toward increased electrification;
  • failure to attract and retain a qualified workforce;
  • increases in the costs of equipment, materials, fuel, services and labor;
  • the impact of our covenants in our debt instruments and credit agreements on our business;
  • adverse performance of our defined benefit plan trust funds and Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund and increases in funding requirements;
  • any inability to enter into or extend certain significant contracts;
  • development, adoption and use of Artificial Intelligence by us and our third-party vendors;
  • fluctuations in, or third-party default risk in wholesale power and natural gas markets, including the potential impacts on the economic viability of our generation units;
  • our ability to obtain adequate nuclear fuel supply;
  • changes in technology related to energy generation, distribution and consumption and changes in customer usage patterns;
  • third-party credit risk relating to our sale of nuclear generation output and purchase of nuclear fuel;
  • any inability to meet our commitments under forward sale obligations and Regional Transmission Organization rules;
  • the impact of changes in state and federal legislation and regulations on our business, including PSE&G's ability to recover costs and earn returns on authorized investments;
  • PSE&G's proposed investment projects or programs may not be fully approved by regulators and its capital investment may be lower than planned;
  • our ability to receive sufficient financial support for our New Jersey nuclear plants from the markets, production tax credit and/or zero emission certificates program;
  • adverse changes in and non-compliance with energy industry laws, policies, regulations and standards, including market structures and transmission planning and transmission returns;
  • risks associated with our ownership and operation of nuclear facilities and third-party operation of co-owned nuclear facilities, including increased nuclear fuel storage costs, regulatory risks, such as compliance with the Atomic Energy Act and trade control, environmental and other regulations, as well as operational, financial, environmental and health and safety risks;
  • changes in federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and enforcement;
  • delays in receipt of, or an inability to receive, necessary licenses and permits and siting approvals; and
  • changes in tax laws and regulations.
