should be read in conjunction with, and update and supplement matters discussed in, PSEGs, Powers and PSE&Gs respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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. 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, 2008. Reclassifications A reclassification was made to PSEGs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008 to conform to the 2009 presentation. In accordance with the adoption of a new accounting standard in 2009, $11 million of minority interests was reclassified from Other Noncurrent Liabilities

(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards The following is a summary of new accounting guidance adopted in 2009 and guidance issued but not yet adopted that could impact our businesses. We do not anticipate that any of the guidance adopted in 2009 will have a material impact on our financial statements. Accounting standards adopted in 2009 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R))
changes financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions requires all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be measured at their acquisition date fair value, with limited exceptions requires acquisition-related costs and certain restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the business combination applies to all transactions and events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses of an acquiree. We adopted SFAS 141(R) effective January 1, 2009. Any new business combination transactions will be accounted for under this guidance. SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 (SFAS 160)
changes the financial reporting relationship between a parent and non-controlling interests requires all entities to report minority interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements requires net income attributable to the non-controlling interest to be shown on the face of the income statement in addition to net income attributable to the controlling interest applies prospectively, except for presentation and disclosure requirements, which are applied retrospectively. We adopted SFAS 160 effective January 1, 2009 and revised our balance sheet presentation as required by the standard. The income statement impact is immaterial. SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161)
requires an entity to disclose an understanding of:
how and why it uses derivatives, ¡ how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted for, and ¡ the overall impact of derivatives on an entitys financial statements. We adopted SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009. Accounting standards to be adopted effective April 1, 2009 FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2)

¡
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS revises recognition guidance in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. A debt security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired if the fair value is less than the amortized cost, and in any of the following circumstances:
An entity has the intent to sell the security, or ¡ it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, and ¡ an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security
provides further guidance to determine the amount of impairment to be recorded in earnings and/ or other comprehensive income.
We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1)
issued by the FASB in April 2009 requires a publicly traded company to disclose in the notes to the financial statements
¡
fair value of its financial instruments in interim and annual reporting periods, together with the related carrying amounts ¡ methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value, and ¡ changes in methods and significant assumptions, if any. Upon adoption, the standard will impact our interim financial statements by requiring additional fair value information. FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4)
issued by the FASB in April 2009 provides guidance:
¡
to determine if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, and ¡ to estimate fair values, when transactions or quoted process are not determinative of fair value
requires management to use judgment to determine whether a market is distressed or not orderly, even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability.
Upon adoption, we do not anticipate that this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. Accounting standard to be adopted for 2009 year-end reporting FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (FSP FAS 132(R)-1)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS requires additional disclosures about the fair value of plan assets of a defined benefit or other postretirement plan, including:
how investment allocation decisions are made by management, ¡ major categories of plan assets, ¡ significant concentrations of risk within plan assets, and ¡ inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements. Note 3. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions Discontinued Operations Bioenergie In November 2008, Energy Holdings sold its 85% ownership interest in Bioenergie for $40 million. The sale resulted in an after-tax loss of $15 million. Net cash proceeds, after realization of tax benefits, were approximately $70 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Dispositions PPN Power Generating Company Limited (PPN) In March 2009, Energy Holdings entered into an agreement to sell its 20% ownership interest in PPN, which owns and operates a 330 MW naphtha and natural gas-fired combined cycle plant in Tamil Nadu, India. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter. The sale price is expected to
be approximately $15 million, which is the book value of the investment as of March 31, 2009. This amount is included in Other Current Assets in PSEGs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leveraged Leases In February 2009, Energy Holdings sold its interest in the Westland gas distribution facility leveraged lease and its interest in the Whitehorn gas turbine facility leveraged lease for an after-tax gain of $8 million. In January 2009, Energy Holdings sold its 51% interest in the EPZ Swentibold facility leveraged lease and its interest in the Dutch Rail Locomotives leveraged lease for an after-tax gain of $4 million. PSEG sponsors several qualified and nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering PSEGs and its participating affiliates current and former employees who meet certain eligibility criteria. The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit costs

33 During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, PSEG contributed $257 million of the approximately $370 million it expects to contribute into its pension plans in the calendar year 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, PSEG contributed $8 million of its $11 million planned contribution for the
calendar year 2009 into its postretirement healthcare plan. Note 5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Guaranteed Obligations Power has unconditionally guaranteed payments by its subsidiaries in commodity-related transactions to support current exposure, interest and other costs on sums due and payable in the ordinary course of business. These guarantees are provided to counterparties in order to obtain credit. Under
these agreements, guarantees cover lines of credit between entities and are often reciprocal in nature. The exposure between counterparties can move in either direction. In order for Power to incur a liability for the face value of the outstanding guarantees, its subsidiaries would have to fully utilize the credit granted to them by every counterparty to whom Power has provided a guarantee and all of the related contracts would have to be out-of-the-money (if the
contracts are terminated, Power would owe money to the counterparties). The probability of this is highly unlikely due to offsetting positions within the portfolio. For this reason, the current exposure at any point in time is a more meaningful representation of the potential liability under these
guarantees. This current exposure consists of the net of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the forward value on open positions, less any margins posted. Power is subject to counterparty collateral calls related to commodity contracts and is subject to certain creditworthiness standards as guarantor under performance guarantees of its subsidiaries. Changes in commodity prices can have a material impact on margin requirements under such contracts,
which are posted and received primarily in the form of letters of credit. Power also routinely enters into futures and options transactions for electricity and natural gas as part of its operations. These futures contracts usually require a cash margin deposit with brokers, which can change based on
market movement and in accordance with exchange rules. 17

) Power nets the fair value of cash collateral receivables and payables with the corresponding net energy contract balances. As a result, of the net cash received, Power has included $282 million and $112 million in its corresponding net derivative contract positions as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. The remaining balance of net cash (received) deposited shown above is primarily included in Accounts Payable. In the event of a deterioration of Powers credit rating to below investment grade, which would represent a two level downgrade from its current ratings, many of these agreements allow the counterparty to demand further performance assurance. As of March 31, 2009, if Power were to lose its
investment grade rating, additional collateral of approximately $1.2 billion could be required. As of March 31, 2009, there was $2.7 billion of available liquidity under PSEG and Powers credit facilities that could be used to post collateral. In addition to amounts in the table above, Power had
posted $105 million and $121 million in letters of credit as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, to support various other contractual and environmental obligations. The available liquidity as of March 31, 2009 does not include $150 million under a bilateral credit facility that
Power executed in April 2009 to replace a credit agreement that expired during March 2009. Environmental Matters Passaic River The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a six-mile stretch of the Passaic River in the area of Newark, New Jersey is a facility within the meaning of that term under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
(CERCLA) and has undertaken a study of the river. The study area includes the entire 17-mile tidal reach of the lower Passaic River. PSE&G and certain of its predecessors conducted operations at properties in this area. The properties included one operating electric generating station (Essex Site), which was transferred to Power, one former generating station and four former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) sites. Power assumed
any environmental liabilities of the Essex Site when it was transferred from PSE&G, and PSE&G obtained releases and indemnities for liabilities arising out of the former generating station when it was sold. The costs associated with the MGP Remediation Program have historically been recovered
through the Societal Benefits Clause (SBC) charges to PSE&G ratepayers. 18
(UNAUDITED)
2009
2008
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The EPA has indicated that it believed hazardous substances had been released from the Essex Site and one of PSE&Gs former MGP locations (Harrison Site), which also includes facilities for PSE&Gs ongoing gas operations. In 2006, the EPA notified the potentially responsible parties (PRPs) that
the cost of its study will greatly exceed its original estimated cost of $20 million. 73 PRPs, including Power and PSE&G, have agreed to assume responsibility for the study and to divide the associated costs among themselves according to a mutually agreed-upon formula. The PRP group is
presently executing the study. The percentage of costs allocable to Power and PSE&G has varied depending on the number of PRPs funding the study and currently is approximately 6% of the study cost, approximately 80% of which is attributable to PSE&Gs former MGP sites and approximately
20% to Powers generating stations. Power has provided notice to insurers concerning this potential claim. In 2007, the EPA released a draft focused feasibility study that proposes six options to address contamination cleanup in the lower eight miles of the Passaic River, with estimated costs ranging from $900 million to $2.3 billion, in addition to a No Action alternative. The work contemplated by
the study is not subject to the cost sharing agreement discussed above. A revised focused feasibility study is expected to be released later in 2009. In June 2008, an agreement was announced between the EPA and two PRPs for removal of a portion of the contaminated sediment in the Passaic River. The work will cost an estimated $80 million. The two PRPs have reserved their rights to seek contribution for the removal costs from the other
PRPs, including Power and PSE&G. In 2005, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) filed suit against a PRP and related companies in New Jersey Superior Court seeking damages and reimbursement for costs expended by the State of New Jersey to address the effects on the Passaic River of the PRPs
former operations which resulted in the discharge of hazardous substances. On February 4, 2009, third-party complaints were filed against some 320 third-party defendants, including Power and PSE&G, claiming that each of the third-party defendants is responsible for its proportionate share of the
clean-up costs for the hazardous substances it discharged into the Passaic River and seeking statutory contribution and contribution under the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act (Spill Act) to recover past and future removal costs and damages. In 2003, the NJDEP directed PSEG, PSE&G and 56 other PRPs to arrange for a natural resource damage assessment and interim compensatory restoration of natural resource injuries along the lower Passaic River and its tributaries pursuant to the Spill Act. The NJDEP alleged that hazardous
substances had been discharged from the Essex Site and the Harrison Site. The NJDEP estimated the cost of interim natural resource injury restoration activities along the lower Passaic River at approximately $950 million. In 2007, agencies of the United States Department of Commerce and the
United States Department of the Interior sent a letter to PSE&G and other PRPs inviting participation in an assessment of injuries to natural resources that the agencies intended to perform. In November 2008, PSEG and a number of other companies agreed in an interim cooperative assessment
agreement to pay an aggregate of $1 million for past costs incurred by the Federal trustees and certain costs the trustees will incur going forward, and to work with the trustees for a 12-month period to explore whether some or all of the trustees claims can be resolved in a cooperative fashion. Newark Bay Study Area The EPA established the Newark Bay Study Area, which it defined as Newark Bay and portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull. In August 2006, the EPA sent PSEG and 11 other entities notices that it considered each of the entities to be a PRP with respect to
contamination in this area. The notice letter requested that the PRPs fund an EPA-approved study in the Newark Bay Study Area and encouraged the PRPs to contact Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC) to discuss participating in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study that OCC is
conducting. The notice stated the EPAs belief that hazardous substances were released from sites owned by PSEG companies and located on the Hackensack 19
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS River, including two operating electric generating stations (Hudson and Kearny sites) and one former MGP site. PSEG is participating in and partially funding the study. PSEG, Power and PSE&G cannot predict what further actions, if any, or the costs or the timing thereof, that may be required with respect to the Passaic River, Newark Bay Study Area or other natural resource damages claims; however, such costs could be material. MGP Remediation Program PSE&G is working with the NJDEP to assess, investigate and remediate environmental conditions at PSE&Gs former MGP sites. To date, 38 sites requiring some level of remedial action have been identified. The NJDEP has also announced initiatives to accelerate the investigation and subsequent
remediation of the riverbeds underlying surface water bodies that have been impacted by hazardous substances from adjoining sites. In 2005, the NJDEP initiated a program on the Delaware River aimed at identifying the 10 most significant sites for cleanup. One of the sites identified was PSE&Gs
former Camden Coke facility. During the fourth quarter of 2008, PSE&G updated the estimated cost to remediate all MGP sites to completion and determined that the cost to completion could range between $709 million and $820 million from December 31, 2008 through 2021. Since no amount within the range was considered
to be most likely, PSE&G recorded a liability of $709 million as of December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, PSE&Gs remaining accrual was $705 million. Of this amount, $20 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $685 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent
Liabilities. As such, PSE&G has recorded a $705 million Regulatory Asset with respect to these costs. Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)/New Source Review (NSR) The PSD/NSR regulations, promulgated under the Clean Air Act, require major sources of certain air pollutants to obtain permits, install pollution control technology and obtain offsets, in some circumstances, when those sources undergo a major modification, as defined in the regulations. The
federal government may order companies that are not in compliance with the PSD/NSR regulations to install the best available control technology at the affected plants and to pay monetary penalties ranging from $25,000 to $37,500 per day for each violation, depending upon when the alleged
violation occurred. In November 2006, Power reached an agreement with the EPA and the NJDEP to achieve emissions reductions targets at Powers Mercer, Hudson and Bergen generating stations. Under this agreement, Power is required to undertake a number of technology projects, plant modifications and
operating procedure changes at Hudson and Mercer designed to meet targeted reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter and mercury and to repower Bergen Unit 2 utilizing low-emission combined cycle combustion turbine technology. Pursuant to this program, Power has installed selective catalytic reduction equipment at Mercer at a cost of $118 million and baghouses were placed in service in December 2008, with costs as of March 31, 2009 of $260 million. The cost of assets to be placed in service in order to implement the
balance of the agreement is estimated at $200 million to $250 million for Mercer, to be completed by May 2010, and $700 million to $750 million for Hudson, to be completed by the end of 2010, of which $334 million has been spent through March 31, 2009. All back end pollution control
technology construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. Bergen Unit 2 was repowered in 2002 consistent with the consent decree. On January 14, 2009, the EPA issued a notice of violation to Power and other owners of the Keystone coal-fired plant in Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, that various capital improvement projects were made at the plant which are considered modifications (or major modifications)
causing significant net emission increases of PSD/NSR air pollutants, beginning in 1985 for Keystone Unit 1 and in 1984 for Keystone Unit 2. The notice of violation states that none of these modifications underwent PSD/NSR permitting process prior to being put into service, which the EPA
alleges was required under the Clean Air 20
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Act. The notice of violation states that the EPA may issue an order requiring compliance with the relevant Clean Air Act provisions and may seek injunctive relief and/or civil penalties. Power owns approximately 23% of the plant. Power cannot predict the outcome of this matter. Mercury Regulation In March 2005, the EPA established a New Source Performance Standard limit for nickel emissions from oil-fired electric generating units and a cap-and-trade program for mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating units. In February 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision rejecting the EPAs mercury emissions program and requiring the EPA to develop standards for mercury and nickel emissions that adhere to the Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) provisions of the Clean Air Act. In October 2008, the
EPA filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the lower courts decision. On February 6, 2009, the EPA withdrew its petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, and indicated that it intended to move forward with a rule-making process to develop MACT standards consistent with the
Courts ruling, although certain industry litigants pursued Supreme Court review of the lower courts decision. On February 23, 2009, the Supreme Court denied the petition. The full impact to PSEG of these developments is uncertain. It is expected that new MACT requirements will require more
stringent control than the cap-and-trade program struck down by the D.C. Circuit Court; however, the costs of compliance with mercury MACT standards will have to be compared with the existing New Jersey and Connecticut mercury-control requirements, as described below. Some uncertainty exists regarding the feasibility of achieving the reductions in mercury emissions required by the New Jersey regulations, discussed below. The estimated costs of technology believed to be capable of meeting these emissions limits at Powers coal-fired units in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania have been incurred or are included in Powers capital expenditure forecast. Total estimated costs for each project are between $150 million and $200 million. New Jersey New Jersey regulations required coal-fired electric generating units to meet certain emissions limits or reduce mercury emissions by approximately 90% by December 15, 2007. Companies that are parties to multi-pollutant reduction agreements, such as Power, are permitted to postpone such
reductions on half of their coal-fired electric generating capacity until December 15, 2012. Power achieved the reductions required in 2007 through the installation of carbon injection technology and baghouses at both Mercer units and anticipates compliance with the remaining reductions required by December 2012 will be achieved through the installation of a baghouse at its Hudson
plant by the end of 2010. The mercury-control technologies are part of Powers multi-pollutant reduction agreement that resolved issues arising out of the PSD/NSR air pollution control programs discussed above. Pennsylvania In February 2007, Pennsylvania finalized its state-specific requirements to reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating units. These requirements were more stringent than the EPAs Clean Air Mercury Rule (vacated by the court in February 2008) but not as stringent as would
be required by a MACT process as required under a strict interpretation of the Clean Air Act. On January 30, 2009, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania struck down the rule, indicating that the rule violated Pennsylvania law because it is inconsistent with the Clean Air Act. The
Commonwealth Courts decision has been appealed to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. If the Commonwealth Courts decision were to be overturned and the above-mentioned requirements are upheld, the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations would be positioned by 2010 to meet Phase
I of the Pennsylvania mercury rule by benefiting from reductions realized from the installation of planned or completed controls for compliance with SO2 and NOx reductions. Power will evaluate Phase II of the mercury rule after a full evaluation of the Phase I reductions. If the Commonwealth
Courts ruling is sustained, and the EPA undertakes a MACT process, it is 21
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS uncertain at this time whether the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations will be able to achieve the necessary reductions with their respective currently planned capital expenditures. Emission Fees Section 185 of the Clean Air Act requires states (or in the absence of state action, the EPA) in severe and extreme non-attainment areas to adopt a penalty fee for major stationary sources if the area fails to attain the one-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) set by the
EPA. In June 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against the EPA, which had sought to vacate imposition of fees for NOx emissions because the one hour standard was superseded by an eight-hour standard. Power operates electric generation stations, major
stationary sources, in the New Jersey-Connecticut severe non-attainment area that did not meet the required NAAQS by November 2007. Neither the EPA nor the states in the non-attainment areas in which Power operates have initiated any process for imposing fees in compliance with the court
ruling; however, preliminary analysis suggests that penalty fees could be approximately $6 million annually, which Power is currently accruing. This analysis could change if the EPA or the states issue additional guidance addressing the imposition of fees, or if Power is able to reduce its
emissions of NOx in the future. On January 9, 2009, the NJDEP provided notice that it is in the process of assessing fees under Section 185 for 2008 emissions. These fees are expected to be paid in 2010 after the NJDEP determines the need for statutory or regulatory changes. NOx Reduction In April 2009, the NJDEP finalized revisions to NOx emission control regulations that impose new NOx emission reduction requirements and limits for New Jersey fossil fuel-fired electric generation units. The rule is expected to have a significant impact on Powers generation fleet, including the
likely retirement of a significant portion of Powers units by April 30, 2015. The rule is expected to require the retirement of up to 102 combustion turbines (approximately 2,000 MW) and five older New Jersey steam electric generating units (approximately 800 MW). Power has been working
with the NJDEP throughout the development of this rulemaking to minimize financial impact and to provide for transitional lead time for it to address the retirement of electric generation. Power cannot predict the financial impact resulting from compliance with this rulemaking. New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) Potential environmental liabilities related to the alleged discharge of hazardous substances at certain generating stations have been identified. In the second quarter of 1999, in anticipation of the transfer of PSE&Gs generation-related assets to Power, a study was conducted pursuant to ISRA, which
applied to the sale of certain assets. Power had a $50 million liability as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, related to these obligations, which is included in Environmental Costs in Powers and PSEGs Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Permit Renewals In June 2001, the NJDEP issued a renewed New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permit for Salem, expiring in July 2006, allowing for the continued operation of Salem with its existing cooling water intake system. In February 2006, Power filed with the NJDEP a
renewal application prepared in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Acts (FWPCA) Section 316(b) and the Phase II 316(b) rules, allowing Salem to continue operating under its existing NJPDES permit until a new permit is issued. Under these rules, Power had historically used restoration and/or a site-specific cost-benefit test in applications it had filed to renew the permits at its once-through cooled plants, including Salem, Hudson and Mercer. The Phase II Rule would also have been applicable to Bridgeport, and possibly
Sewaren and 22
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS New Haven stations. In addition to the Salem renewal application, permit renewal applications have been submitted to the NJDEP for Hudson, and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection for Bridgeport. A renewal application is expected to be filed for Sewaren later this year. In January 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision in litigation of the Phase II 316(b) regulations brought by several environmental groups, the Attorneys General of six Northeastern states, including New Jersey, the Utility Water Act Group and several of its
members, including Power. In its ruling, the Court:
remanded major portions of the regulations and determined that Section 316(b) of the FWPCA does not support the use of restoration and the site-specific cost-benefit test. instructed the EPA to reconsider the definition of best technology available without comparing the costs of the best performing technology to its benefits. In May 2007, Power and other industry petitioners filed a request for a rehearing with the Second Circuit Court, which was denied. The parties, including Power, requested U.S. Supreme Court review of the matter. On April 1, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Second Circuits opinion, concluding that the EPA permissibly relied upon cost-benefit analysis in setting the national performance standards and in providing for cost-benefit variances from those standards as part of the Phase II regulations.
The Supreme Courts decision became effective on April 27, 2009 and the matter was sent back to the Second Circuit for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Courts opinion. It is premature to determine when the Second Circuit will act on this ruling or its ultimate disposition of the case. However, because there were major portions of the Phase II regulations which were originally remanded by the Second Circuit that were not considered by the Supreme Court, the
EPA will need to undertake a rulemaking in the future. The Supreme Courts ruling allows the EPA to continue to use the site-specific cost-benefit test in determining best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. However, the results of further proceedings on this matter could have a material impact on our ability to renew
permits at our larger once-through cooled plants, including Salem, Hudson, Mercer, Bridgeport and possibly Sewaren and New Haven, without making significant upgrades to our existing intake structures and cooling systems. The costs of those upgrades to one or more of our once-through cooled
plants could be material and would require economic review to determine whether to continue operations at these facilities. For example, in Powers application to renew its Salem permit, filed with the NJDEP in February 2006, the costs estimated for adding cooling towers for Salem are
approximately $1 billion, of which Powers share would be approximately $575 million. Currently, potential costs associated with any closed cycle cooling requirements are not included in Powers forecasted capital expenditures. Stormwater In October 2008, the NJDEP notified Power that it must apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit for its Hudson generating station. Hudson stores its coal in an open air pile and, as a result, it is exposed to precipitation. Discharge of stormwater from Hudson has been regulated
pursuant to a Basic Industrial Stormwater General Permit, authorization of which has been previously approved by the NJDEP. The NJDEP has now determined that Hudson is no longer eligible to utilize this general permit, and must apply for an individual NJPDES permit for stormwater
discharges. While the full extent of these requirements remains unclear, to the extent Power may be required to reduce or eliminate the exposure of coal to stormwater, or be required to construct technologies preventing the discharge of stormwater to surface water or groundwater, those costs
could be material. 23
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS New Generation and Development Nuclear Power has approved the expenditure of $192 million for steam path retrofit and related upgrades at Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. Completion of these upgrades is expected to result in an increase of Powers share of nominal capacity by 32 MW (14 MW at Unit 3 in 2011 and 18 MW at Unit 2
in 2012). Significant project expenditures will begin later in 2009 and continue through 2012. Connecticut Power has been selected by the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control in a regulatory process to build 130 MW of gas-fired peaking capacity. Final approval has been received and construction is expected to commence June 2011. The project is expected to be in-service by June 2012.
Power estimates the cost of these generating units to be $130 million to $140 million. Total capitalized expenditures to date are $11 million which are included in Other Noncurrent Assets in Powers and PSEGs Consolidated Balance Sheets. Basic Generation Service (BGS) and Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements for customers who do not purchase electric supply from third-party suppliers through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions. Pursuant to applicable BPU rules, PSE&G enters into the Supplier Master Agreement (SMA) with the winners of these BGS
auctions following the BPUs approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with Power, as well as with other winning BGS suppliers, to purchase BGS for PSE&Gs load requirements. The winners of the auction (including Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements
of a PJM Interconnection L.L.C. (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 Jerseys renewable portfolio
standards. Power seeks to mitigate volatility in its results by contracting in advance for the sale of most of its anticipated electric output as well as its anticipated fuel needs. As part of its objective, Power has entered into contracts to directly supply PSE&G and other New Jersey electric distribution
companies (EDCs) with a portion of their respective BGS requirements through the New Jersey BGS auction process, described above. In addition to the BGS-related contracts, Power also enters into firm supply contracts with EDCs, as well as other firm sales and commitments. PSE&G has contracted for its anticipated BGS-Fixed Price load, as follows: Auction Year 2006 2007 2008 2009 36-Month Terms Ending May 2009 May 2010 May 2011 May 2012 (a) Load (MW) 2,882 2,758 2,840 2,840 $ per kWh 0.10251 0.09888 0.11150 0.10372 (a) Prices set in the February 2009 BGS Auction will become effective on June 1, 2009 when PSE&G has a full requirements contract with Power to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&Gs gas customers. The contract extends through March 31, 2012, and year-to-year thereafter. 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. For additional information, see Note 14. Related-Party Transactions. 24

the 2006 Auction Year agreements expire.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Minimum Fuel Purchase Requirements Power has various long-term fuel purchase commitments for coal and oil to support its fossil generation stations and for supply of nuclear fuel for the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear generating stations and for firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas. Powers various multi-year contracts for firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas are primarily to meet its gas supply obligations to PSE&G. These purchase obligations are consistent with Powers strategy to enter into contracts for its fuel supply in comparable volumes to its sales
contracts. Powers strategy is to maintain certain levels of uranium concentrates and uranium hexafluoride in inventory and to make periodic purchases to support such levels. As such, the commitments referred to below include estimated quantities to be purchased that are in excess of contractual minimum
quantities. Powers nuclear fuel commitments cover approximately 100% of its estimated uranium, enrichment and fabrication requirements through 2011 and a portion for 2012 and 2013 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom. As of March 31, 2009, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments are as follows:

Power has entered into gas supply option agreements for the anticipated fuel requirements at the PSEG Texas generation facilities to satisfy obligations under their forward energy sales contracts. As of March 31, 2009, Powers fuel purchase options totaled $51 million under those agreements,
which is not included in the above table. PSEG Texas also has a contract for low BTU content gas commencing in late 2009 with a term of 15 years and a minimum volume of approximately 13 MMbtus per year. The gas must meet an availability and quality specification. PSEG Texas also has the right to cancel delivery of the gas at
a minimal cost. Regulatory Proceedings Competition Act In April 2007, PSE&G and PSE&G Transition Funding LLC (Transition Funding) were served with a copy of a purported class action complaint (Complaint) in New Jersey Superior Court challenging the constitutional validity of certain stranded cost recovery provisions of the Competition Act,
seeking injunctive relief against continued collection from PSE&Gs electric customers of the Transition Bond Charge (TBC) of Transition Funding, as well as recovery of TBC amounts previously collected. Under New Jersey law, the Competition Act, enacted in 1999, is presumed constitutional. 25
(UNAUDITED)
through 2013
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In July 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended Complaint to also seek injunctive relief from continued collection of related taxes as well as recovery of such taxes previously collected. In July 2007, PSE&G filed a motion to dismiss the amended Complaint, or, in the alternative, for summary
judgment. In October 2007, PSE&Gs and Transition Fundings motion to dismiss the amended Complaint was granted. In November 2007, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court. In February 2009, the New Jersey Appellate Division
affirmed the decision of the lower court dismissing the case. The plaintiff has filed a petition for certification with the New Jersey Supreme Court requesting that the Appellate Division decision be overturned. In July 2007, the same plaintiff also filed a petition with the BPU requesting review and adjustment to PSE&Gs recovery of the same stranded cost charges. In September 2007, PSE&G filed a motion with the BPU to dismiss the petition, which remains pending. BPU Deferral Audit The BPU Energy and Audit Division conducts audits of deferred balances under various adjustment clauses. A draft Deferral AuditPhase II report relating to the 12-month period ended July 31, 2003 was released by the consultant to the BPU in April 2005. That report, which addresses SBC, Market Transition Charge (MTC) and non-utility generation (NUG) deferred balances, found that the Phase II deferral balances complied in all material respects with applicable BPU Orders. It also noted that the BPU Staff had raised certain questions with
respect to the reconciliation method PSE&G had employed in calculating the overrecovery of its MTC and other charges during the Phase I and Phase II four-year transition period. The matter was referred to the Office of Administrative Law. The amount in dispute is $114 million, which if
required to be refunded to customers with interest through March 2009, would be $141 million. Hearings before an administrative law judge (ALJ) were held in July 2008. In January 2009, the ALJ issued a decision which upheld PSE&Gs central contention that the 2004 BPU Order approving the Phase I settlement resolved the issues being raised by the Staff and Advocate, and that these
issues should not be subject to re-litigation in respect of the first three years of the transition period. The ALJs decision stated that the BPU could elect to convene a separate proceeding to address the fourth and final year reconciliation of MTC recoveries. The amount in dispute with respect to
this Phase II period is approximately $50 million. Exceptions to the ALJs decision were filed on February 9, 2009. The BPU may choose to accept, modify or reject the ALJs decision in reaching its final decision. A BPU decision is expected by June 1, 2009. We cannot predict the final outcome of this proceeding. New Jersey Clean Energy Program In the third quarter of 2008, the BPU approved funding requirements for each New Jersey utility applicable to its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency programs for the years 2009 to 2012. The aggregate funding amount is $1.2 billion for all years. PSE&Gs share of the $1.2 billion program
is $705 million. PSE&G has recorded a discounted liability of $634 million as of March 31, 2009. Of this amount, $145 million was recorded as a current liability and $489 million as a noncurrent liability. The liability has been recorded with an offsetting Regulatory Asset, since the costs
associated with this program are expected to be recovered from PSE&G ratepayers through the SBC. Leveraged Lease Investments In November 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Revenue Agents Reports with respect to its audit of PSEGs federal corporate income tax returns for tax years 1997 through 2000, which disallowed all deductions associated with certain lease transactions that are similar to a type that
the IRS publicly announced its intention to challenge. In addition, the IRS Reports proposed a 20% penalty for substantial 26
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS understatement of tax liability. In February 2007, PSEG filed a protest of these findings with the Office of Appeals of the IRS. In April 2008, the IRS issued its Revenue Agents Report for tax years 2001 through 2003, which disallowed all deductions associated with lease transactions similar to those disallowed in its 1997 through 2000 Report. As in its prior report, the IRS proposed a 20% penalty. PSEG also filed a
protest to this report with the Office of Appeals of the IRS. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PSEGs total gross investment in such transactions was $924 million and $1 billion, respectively. There are several tax cases involving other taxpayers with similar leveraged lease investments that are pending. To date, three cases have been decided at the trial court level, two of which were decided in favor of the government. An appeal of one of these decisions was recently affirmed. The
third case involves a jury verdict that is currently being challenged by both parties on inconsistency grounds. In August 2008, the IRS publicly announced that it was issuing letters to a number of taxpayers with these types of lease transactions containing a generic settlement offer. PSEG did not accept the IRS settlement offer and will likely proceed to litigation. Earnings Impact Assuming all rental payments are made pursuant to the original lease agreement, and there are no changes in tax legislation and rates, the total cash and income included in a leveraged lease transaction will not change over the lease term. However, the timing of the cash flow can change due to
changes in the timing of tax deductions. Changes in the timing of cash flows affect the overall return, or yield, that is recorded as income at a constant rate throughout the lease term. If there is a change in cash flow timing, pursuant to FSP 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in
the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction, the lease must be recalculated from inception assuming the new lease yield. Differences between the current gross lease investment and the gross lease investment per the recalculated lease must be
recognized immediately in income. In the second quarter of 2008, PSEG recalculated its lease transactions, incorporating potential cash payments (discussed below) consistent with the FIN 48 reserve position, and recorded an after-tax charge of $355 million. This charge was reflected as a reduction in Operating Revenues of $485
million with a partially offsetting reduction in Income Tax Expense of $130 million in PSEGs Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The $355 million is being recognized as income over the remaining term of the affected leases. This represents PSEGs view of most of the financial statement exposure related to these lease transactions, although a total loss, consistent with the broad settlement offer recently proposed by the IRS, would result in an additional earnings charge of $100 million to $120 million. Cash Impact As of March 31, 2009, an aggregate $1.2 billion would become currently payable if PSEG conceded 100% of deductions taken through that date. PSEG has deposited $180 million with the IRS to defray potential interest costs associated with this disputed tax liability. In the event PSEG is
successful in defense of its position, the deposit is fully refundable with interest. These deposits reduce the $1.2 billion cash exposure noted above to $1 billion. As of March 31, 2009, penalties of $152 million would also become payable if the IRS was successful in its deficiency claims against PSEG, and asserted and successfully litigated a case against PSEG regarding
penalties. PSEG has not established a reserve for penalties because it believes it has strong defenses to the assertion of penalties under applicable law. Interest and penalty exposure grow at the rate of $9 million per quarter during 2009. 27
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Should PSEG lose its case in litigation, and the IRS is successful in a litigated case consistent with the positions it has taken in the generic settlement offer recently proposed, an additional $130 million to $150 million of tax would be due for tax positions through March 31, 2009. PSEG currently anticipates that it will pay between $230 million and $370 million in tax, interest and penalties for the tax years 1997 through 2000 during the second half of 2009 and subsequently commence litigation to recover these amounts. Further it is possible that an additional payment of
between $270 million and $550 million could be required in late 2009 for tax years 2001 through 2003 followed by further litigation to recover those taxes. These amounts are in addition to tax deposits already made. The actions described above concerning the leveraged lease investments are not expected to violate any covenant or result in a default under either Energy Holdings credit facility or Senior Notes indenture. Note 6. Changes in Capitalization The following capital transactions occurred in the first quarter of 2009: Power
Converted $44 million of 4.00% Pollution Control Bonds to variable rate demand bonds backed by letters of credit. Established a program for the issuance of up to $500 million of unsecured medium-term notes (MTNs) to retail investors in January. Under this program we

Redeemed $280 million of floating rate non-recourse project debt due on December 31, 2009 associated with PSEG Texas. Repurchased $10 million of its 8.5% Senior Notes due 2011. In April 2009, Power paid $250 million of 3.75% Senior Notes at maturity. Note 7. Financial Risk Management Activities The operations of PSEG, Power and PSE&G are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and equity prices that could affect their results of operations and financial condition. Exposure to these risks is managed through normal operating and financing activities and,
when appropriate, through hedging transactions. Hedging transactions use derivative instruments to create a relationship in which changes to the value of the assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions exposed to market risks are expected to be offset by changes in the value of these derivative
instruments. Commodity Prices The availability and price of energy commodities are subject to fluctuations due to weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies, market conditions, transmission availability and other events. 28
(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Power and Energy Holdings use physical and financial transactions in the wholesale energy markets to mitigate the effects of adverse movements in fuel and electricity prices. Contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market in accordance with SFAS 133, with changes in
fair value charged to the income statement. The fair value for the majority of these contracts is obtained from quoted market sources. Modeling techniques using assumptions reflective of current market rates, yield curves and forward prices are used to interpolate certain prices when no quoted
market exists. The effect of using such modeling techniques is not material to Powers or Energy Holdings financial statements. Cash Flow Hedges Power uses forward sale and purchase contracts, swaps, futures and firm transmission right contracts to hedge:
forecasted energy sales from its generation stations and the related load obligations; and the price of fuel to meet its fuel purchase requirements. Energy Holdings uses forward sale and purchase contracts and swaps to hedge:
forecasted energy sales from its Texas generation stations; and to hedge the price of fuel for one of the Texas generation facilities. These derivative transactions are designated and effective as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value and the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) associated with these hedges was as follows:

The expiration date of the longest-dated cash flow hedge at Power is in 2011. Powers after-tax unrealized gains on these derivatives that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the 12 months ending March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 are $170 million and $80 million, respectively.
Ineffectiveness associated with these hedges, as defined in SFAS 133, was $15 million at March 31, 2009. The expiration date of the longest-dated cash flow hedge for Energy Holdings is in 2009. Therefore, substantially all of the after-tax unrealized gains on its commodity derivatives are expected to be reclassified to earnings during 2009. There was no ineffectiveness associated with these hedges. Trading Derivatives In general, the main purpose of Powers wholesale marketing operation is to optimize the value of the output of the generating facilities via various products and services available in the markets we serve. Power does engage in some trading of electricity and energy-related products where such
transactions are not 29

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS associated with the output or fuel purchase requirements of our facilities. This trading consists mostly of load deals where we secure sales commitments with the intent to supply the energy services from purchases in the market rather than from our owned generation. Such trading activities
represent less than one percent of Powers revenues. Other Derivatives Power and Energy Holdings enter into other contracts that are derivatives, but do not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. For Power, most of these contracts are used for fuel purchases for generation requirements and for electricity purchases for contractual sales obligations. A portion is also used in Powers Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) Funds. For Energy Holdings, these are electricity forward and capacity sale contracts entered into to sell a portion of the Texas facilities capacity and gas purchase contracts to support the electricity forward sales contracts. Changes in fair market value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. The fair value of these contracts as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was as follows:

Interest Rates PSEG, Power and PSE&G are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Exposure to this risk is managed through the use of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate derivatives. Fair Value Hedges On April 1, 2009, PSEGs interest rate swap that had converted Powers $250 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due April 2009 into variable-rate debt matured. The interest rate swap was designated and effective as a fair value hedge. The fair value changes of the interest rate swap were fully offset
by the fair value changes in the underlying debt. Cash Flow Hedges PSE&G
and Energy Holdings use interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which
are designated and effective as cash flow hedges to manage their exposure
to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to variable-rate debt
instruments. As of March 31, 2009, there was no hedge ineffectiveness associated
with these hedges. The fair values of our interest rate derivatives were
$(1) million and $(7) million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8. Fair Value Measurements Effective January 1, 2008, PSEG, Power and PSE&G adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), except for non-financial assets and liabilities as described in FSP FAS 157-2. PSEG, Power and PSE&G adopted SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1,
2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about 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. SFAS 157 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 entitys own
assumptions. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement into three levels: Level 1measurements utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PSEG, Power and PSE&G have the ability to access. These consist primarily of listed equity securities, exchange traded derivatives and certain U.S. government treasury securities. Level 2measurements 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 3measurements use unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities, based on the best information available and might include an entitys own data and assumptions. In some valuations, the inputs used may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In these cases, the financial instruments level
within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These consist mainly of various financial transmission rights, other longer term capacity and transportation contracts and certain commingled securities. In addition to establishing a measurement framework, SFAS 157 nullifies the guidance of EITF 02-3, Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities, which did not allow an entity to
recognize an unrealized gain or loss at the inception of a derivative instrument unless the fair value of that instrument was obtained from a quoted market price in an active market or was otherwise evidenced by comparison to other observable current market transactions or based on a valuation
technique incorporating observable market data. 35

The amounts shown in energy-related contract assets and liabilities in the table above have been corrected from such amounts shown in our 2008 Form 10-K to reflect a $22 million increase in the Level 2 net liability and corresponding increase in the Level 3 net asset. (A) Whenever possible, fair values for energy related contracts are obtained from quoted market sources in active markets. When this pricing is unavailable, contracts are valued using broker or dealer quotes or auction prices (primarily Level 2). For energy related contracts which include more complex agreements where limited observable inputs or pricing information is available, modeling techniques are employed using assumptions reflective of contractual terms, current market rates, forward price curves, discount rates and risk
factors, as applicable (primarily Level 3). (B) 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. (C) The NDT Funds and the Rabbi Trusts maintain investments in various equity and fixed income securities classified as available for sale. These securities are valued using quoted market prices, 37

broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. All fair value measurements for the fund securities are provided by the trustees of these funds. Most equity securities are priced utilizing the principal market close price or in some cases
midpoint, bid or ask price (primarily Level 1). Fixed income securities are priced using an evaluated pricing approach or the most recent exchange or quoted bid (primarily Level 2). Short-term investments are valued based upon internal matrices using observable market prices or market
parameters such as time-to-maturity, coupon rate, quality rating and current yield (primarily Level 2). Certain commingled cash equivalents included in temporary investment funds are measured with significant unobservable inputs and internal assumptions (primarily Level 3). (D) Other long-term investments consist of equity securities and are valued using a market based approach based on quoted market prices. (E) Cash collateral netting represents collateral amounts netted against derivative assets and liabilities as permitted under FIN 39-1.

PSEGs effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 40.6% as compared to 34.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the absence of tax benefits, accrued in 2008, applicable to an IRS refund claim and the sale of
leveraged lease assets in 2009. Powers effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 39.3% as compared to 40.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to primarily due to lower earnings in the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds and increased benefits of a
manufacturing deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. 40
(UNAUDITED)
Total
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS PSE&Gs effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 40.7% as compared to 32.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the absence of tax benefits, accrued in 2008, applicable to an IRS refund claim. PSEG, Power and PSE&G have $1,359 million, $17 million and $26 million, respectively of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2009 which have not materially changed since December 31, 2008. It is reasonably possible that the total unrecognized tax benefits (including interest) at PSEG will decrease by approximately $168 million within the next 12 months due to either agreement with various taxing authorities upon audit or the expiration of the Statute of Limitations. This amount
includes a $13 million decrease for Power, a $7 million decrease for PSE&G, a $25 million decrease for Services, a $128 million decrease for Energy Holdings and a $5 million increase for PSEG. Note 11. Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A) This combined MD&A is separately filed by PSEG, Power and PSE&G. Information contained herein relating to any individual company is filed by such company on its own behalf. Power and PSE&G each make representations only as to itself and make no representations whatsoever as to any other
company. PSEGs business consists of three reportable segments, which are:
Power, our wholesale energy supply company that integrates its generating asset operations with its wholesale energy, fuel supply, energy trading and marketing and risk management activities primarily in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic U.S.; PSE&G, our public utility company which provides transmission and distribution of electricity and gas in New Jersey; and Energy Holdings, which owns our other generation assets and holds other energy-related investments. OVERVIEW OF 2009 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Our business discussion in Part I Item 1 Business of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K provides a review of the regions and markets where we operate and compete, as well as our strategy for conducting our businesses within these markets, focusing on operational excellence, financial
strength and making disciplined investments. The following discussion supplements that discussion and the discussion included in the Overview of 2008 and Future Outlook provided in Item 7 in our Form 10-K by describing significant events and business developments that have occurred during
2009 and any changes to the key factors that will drive our future performance. The following discussion refers to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Statements) and the Related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes). This information should be read in
conjunction with such Statements, Notes and the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operational Excellence Our generating assets continued to perform with strong operations in the first quarter of 2009. Our nuclear capacity factor for the first quarter 2009 was slightly higher than in the comparable period in 2008. Our fossil fleet also performed well in the first quarter 2009, although generation volumes
were negatively impacted by lower electric prices than in the recent past, and the general economic slowdown. The largest reduction in volume was at our coal units which are burning higher-priced coal in 2009 than in 2008. Continued lower electric prices and recessionary conditions could
prolong this trend for the foreseeable near-term future. Our hedging strategy has resulted in higher average prices than a year ago, thus largely offsetting our reduced generation. The increase in prices was due to comparably higher-priced contracts that replaced older, lower-priced contracts, such as
the 2005 Basic Generation Service (BGS) auction contracts which expired in May 2008, that were replaced with higher priced contracts. Our utility operations experienced a 2% decline in total electric volumes and 3% increase in total gas volumes in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Residential sales contribute approximately 45% of our electric margin and 75% of our gas margin. In the
Commercial and Industrial Segments, billings to customers are not based on total energy consumption as measured by kilowatt-hours or deka-therms, but are based on fixed, monthly demand charges that are set by the highest electric and gas demand for an hour period during the previous 12-
month period or, in the case of some electric rates, by the peak demand during the current month. Therefore, any changes in energy usage over comparative periods may not impact sales margin. During 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, we undertook a project to update our customer service system. In April 2009 our customer service system was fully integrated into our utility operations. 48
During the quarter there were also two significant regulatory developments that we believe have the potential to positively impact future operations.
On March 26, 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order regarding PJMs Reliability Pricing Model (RPM). The effect of this order upon our generation fleet in PJM is generally positive, particularly the increase in the cost of new entry value which more
accurately reflects construction and equipment costs. This should incent both new build and continued operation of existing facilities. For additional information, see Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. On April 1, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) permissibly relied upon cost-benefit analysis in setting the national performance standards and in providing for cost-benefit variances from those standards as part of the Phase II
Section 316(b) regulations of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. This is important to us in that it allows the EPA to continue to use the site-specific cost-benefit test in determining best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. For additional information, see
Note 5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. There continue to be significant developments addressing the need to promote clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gases which may impact our operations in the future as new rules and regulations are adopted.
In April 2009 the EPA released a proposed finding under the Clean Air Act concluding that CO2 is one type of six specific greenhouse gases which cause or contribute to the climate change problem and constitute air pollution which endangers both public health and welfare. If applied to
fossil fuel generation facilities additional regulation of CO2 emissions could impact our operations, ability to renew permits and licenses, and could result in material compliance costs. Legislation has been introduced in Congress to promote clean energy, energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gases. The bill sets forth major initiatives which include establishing a national renewable energy standard. This would provide for setting maximum pollution levels and creating
a market mechanism for the sale and purchase of pollution allowances (cap-and-trade programs). While the proposed regulation would not eliminate individual state-level renewable portfolio standards, it could reduce or eliminate regional inconsistencies in environmental regulations. Financial Strength In 2009, we have continued to focus on managing costs while maintaining our safety and reliability standards and believe that our financial position remains strong. Our businesses continue to generate strong cash from operations in 2009. In addition, Power established a program for the issuance of up to $500 million of unsecured medium-term notes (MTNs) to retail investors in January and to date has issued $209 million under this program. We used these
funds, cash from operations and cash on hand to:
contribute $257 million of the approximately $370 million we expect to contribute into our pension plans in 2009, pay $250 million of Powers 3.75% Senior Notes at maturity, redeem $280 million of non-recourse debt at our Texas plants at the end of February and repurchase $10 million of Energy Holdings remaining Senior Notes. In addition, the Board of Directors has approved an increase in the quarterly dividends from $0.3225 per share to $0.3325 per share for the first and second quarters of 2009 with an indicated annual dividend of $1.33 per share. This increase is consistent with maintaining our target payout ratio of
40% to 50% of Operating Earnings. 49
Disciplined Investment During 2009, we expect to continue to pursue investments focusing on areas that complement our existing businesses and provide prudent growth opportunities. These areas include responding to climate change and continuing to improve environmental performance, upgrading critical energy
infrastructure and providing new energy supplies. During 2009:
We were assigned construction and operating responsibility for two additional 500 kV transmission lines in New Jersey. The first line would run from Branchburg to Roseland and the second from Roseland to Hudson. These lines are still in the design phase. We obtained incentive rate approval from FERC for our portion of a 500 kV transmission line that may extend to Lower Alloways Creek Township, New Jersey. We will be responsible for constructing and operating a portion of this line, known as the Mid-Atlantic Pathway Project
(MAPP). Receipt of incentive rates is contingent upon our portion of the MAPP project being approved by PJM as a Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) project. We requested approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for a new solar loan program, called Solar Loan II. Under Solar Loan II, we would help finance the installation of an additional 40 MW of solar-powered generating systems in our electric service territory. Any
remaining financing capacity from our current solar loan program would be rolled into the new program. The BPU approved our Capital Economic Stimulus Program. Under this program, we anticipate accelerating $694 million of capital infrastructure investments through our utility for electric and gas programs in New Jersey over a 24-month period. The goal of the program is to help improve
New Jerseys economy through the creation of new jobs while enhancing our utilitys infrastructure. The program provides for a charge for immediate recovery of a return on the program expenditures plus depreciation of the assets which will be adjusted each January. There is no guarantee that these or future initiatives will be achieved since many issues need to be favorably resolved, such as system reliability concerns, regulatory approvals and funding of construction or development costs. The results for us and our subsidiaries for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below:

5 The quarter-over-quarter increase in our Income from Continuing Operations reflects the following large drivers:
Improved earnings at Power due to higher prices realized under sales contracts partially offset by lower volumes and losses related to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) Funds, and the absence of tax benefits taken in 2008 at PSE&G and Energy Holdings related to an IRS refund claim and other tax items. PSEG Our results of operations are primarily comprised of the results of operations of our operating subsidiaries, Power, PSE&G and Energy Holdings, excluding changes related to intercompany transactions, which are eliminated in consolidation. We also include certain financing costs, donations and
general and administrative costs at the parent company. For additional information on intercompany transactions, see Note 14. Related-Party Transactions. For an explanation of the variances, see the discussions for Power, PSE&G and Energy Holdings that follow the table below.

higher prices and sales volumes on BGS contracts supported by lower generation costs, improved margins on a reduced sales volume under the BGSS contract, and higher trading gains, partially offset by higher maintenance costs and net losses on investments in the NDT Funds. The increase also included the recognition of non-trading MTM losses of $18 million, after-tax, in 2009 as compared to $3 million of after-tax MTM gains in 2008. The quarter-over-quarter details for these variances are discussed below:

10 For the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008 Operating Revenues decreased $1 million due to:
Generation revenues increased $59 million due to
a net increase of $88 million from higher prices on a higher volume of BGS contracts modestly offset by the expiration of several contracts in May 2008, and ¡ higher revenues of $19 million due to several new wholesale contracts that were entered into in late 2008 and early 2009, ¡ partially offset by lower revenues of $41 million resulting from lower volumes of generation being sold at lower prices.
Gas Supply revenues decreased $76 million
including a net decrease of $8 million resulting from sales under the BGSS contract, comprised of $46 million from lower average gas prices in 2009 net of gains on financial hedging transactions, partly offset by higher sales volumes of $38 million due to colder winter
temperatures in 2009, and

a net decrease of $68 million due to lower prices on a reduced sales volume to third party customers.
Trading revenues increased $16 million principally due to premiums received on the termination of certain trades and gains on electric-related contracts.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs represent the cost of generation, which includes fuel purchases for generation as well as purchased energy in the market, and gas purchases to meet Powers obligation under its BGSS contract with PSE&G. Energy Costs decreased by $127 million due to:
Generation costs decreased by $39 million due to $98 million of lower fuel costs, primarily reflecting lower volumes of natural gas and coal purchases and lower average natural gas prices, partly offset by net losses of $51 million from financial hedging transactions. ¡ Gas costs decreased $88 million, reflecting net decreases of $9 million and $75 million related to Powers obligations under the BGSS contract and sales to third party customers, respectively, reflecting lower inventory costs partially offset by higher volumes.
Operation and Maintenance increased $19 million primarily due to
a net increase of $8 million due to higher planned maintenance costs at our fossil stations, primarily Keystone, Bergen and Linden, and ¡ an increase of $9 million primarily related to a planned outage at Hope Creek.
Depreciation and Amortization increased $9 million due to
an increase of $4 million resulting from a larger depreciable nuclear asset base in 2009, principally due to depreciation of the Salem 2 steam generator replacement being placed into service in May 2008, and a higher depreciable fossil asset base in 2009, and ¡ an increase of $4 million due to pollution control equipment being placed into service in December 2008 at our Mercer 1 and 2 generating facilities. Other Income and Deductions decreased $35 million due to
higher charges of $22 million ($60 million in 2009 versus $38 million in 2008) for other-than-temporary impairments related to the NDT Fund securities, net realized losses of $17 million on the NDT Fund securities, and a $4 million write-off of obsolete pollution-control equipment, partially offset by an increase of $7 million in net unrealized gains on NDT Fund derivative instruments. Interest Expense experienced no material change. Income Tax Expense increased $19 million in 2009 primarily due to
an increase of $25 million due to higher pre-tax income, partially offset by a reduction of $3 million due to lower earnings from the NDT Funds, and a reduction of $2 million due to increased benefits from a manufacturing deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. 53

Commodity related revenues increased $65 million due to
increased electric revenues of $75 million primarily due to $97 million in higher BGS and Non-Utility Generation (NGC) revenues (higher prices of $129 million offset by decreased sales of $32 million), offset by $22 million in lower non-utility generation (NUG) revenues,
primarily due to lower prices, and ¡ decreased gas revenues of $10 million due to $48 million in decreased BGSS prices offset by $38 million in higher sales due to weather.
Delivery revenues increased $52 million due to
increased gas revenues of $30 million due to $15 million of higher sales due to favorable weather and $15 million due to higher SBC revenues, and ¡ increased electric revenues of $22 million due to $14 million for SBC revenues, $7 million for net transmission rate increases, $4 million for a securitization transition charge rate increase, offset by $3 million in decreased distribution sales and demands due to economic conditions.

$3 million in lower investment income due to current market conditions, and $1 million reduction in income tax gross-ups on contributions in aid of construction (CIAC). CIAC is taxable and PSE&G recognizes the gross-up as income when collected. Interest Expense experienced no material change. Income Tax Expense increased $20 million primarily due to

Energy Costs experienced no material change. Operation and Maintenance decreased $5 million primarily due to
¡
a decrease of $3 million in administrative costs due to the closure of our administrative office in Texas, and ¡ a decrease of $2 million in outside service costs. Income from Equity Method Investments decreased $2 million primarily due to lower income from GWF Energy Expansion due to the absence of the sale of water rights in 2008. Interest Expense decreased $4 million primarily due to lower debt balances. Income Tax Expense increased $32 million due to
an increase of $23 million due to the absence of tax benefits recorded in 2008 associated with an IRS claim, and an increase of $11 million as a result of the sale of leveraged lease assets in 2009, partially offset by a reduction of $2 million due to other credits. 56

Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax During 2008, we sold our investments in SAESA Group and Bioenergie. Income from Discontinued Operations relating to these investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 totaled $13 million. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for additional information. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is on a consolidated basis, noting the uses and contributions, where material, of our three direct operating subsidiaries. Operating Cash Flows Our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities are expected to be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and shareholder dividend payments. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our operating cash flow increased by $346 million as compared to the same quarter in 2008. The net change was due to net changes from our subsidiaries as discussed below. Power Powers operating cash flow increased $325 million from $938 million to $1,263 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, primarily resulting from an increase of $223 million in net cash collateral receipts and an increase of $211 million from net
collections of counterparty receivables, partially offset by contributions of $78 million to the employee pension plan in 2009. PSE&G PSE&Gs operating cash flow decreased $45 million from $261 million to $216 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to $153 million in increased pension fund contributions. This was offset by $111 million in higher recovery of
regulatory assets. Energy Holdings Energy Holdings operating cash flow increased $96 million from $(138) million to $(42) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to tax payments made in 2008 related to the sales of certain equity method
investments. Short-Term Liquidity We have been managing our liquidity to assure that we continue to have sufficient access to cash to operate our businesses in the event the capital markets do not allow for near-term financing at reasonable terms. We are also closely monitoring the financial condition and concentration of lenders
in our bank facilities. There is no provision in any of the credit facilities that would require other lenders in the facility to assume loan commitments of any financial institution that fails to meet its loan commitments. As of March 31, 2009, no single institution represents more than 11% of the
commitments in our credit facilities. We continually monitor our liquidity and seek to add capacity as needed to meet our liquidity requirements. Each of our credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed below; 57
however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support our subsidiaries liquidity needs. Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of March 31, 2009 were as follows:

In December 2011, facilities reduce by $47 million, $75 million, and $28 million for PSEG, Power and PSE&G, respectively. (B) These amounts relate to letters of credit outstanding. On April 3, 2009, Power executed a $150 million bilateral credit agreement to replace a $150 million credit agreement that expired during March 2009. The new credit agreement is available for funding and the issuance of letters of credit and expires on September 30, 2009. In the second and third quarters of 2009, $250 million of bilateral credit facilities at PSEG and Power are scheduled to expire. While we expect to request renewal of each of these facilities, no assurances can be given that such facilities will be renewed or renewed on comparable terms. Long-Term Debt Financing In February 2009, Energy Holdings redeemed the remaining $280 million outstanding non-recourse project debt associated with the assets of PSEG Texas. The debt was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2009. PSEG and PSE&G have $249 million and $60 million, respectively, of debt
maturities upcoming in 2009, excluding securitized and nonrecourse debt. These maturities will occur in late May 2009 for PSE&G and during the third and fourth quarters for PSEG. We believe that we will be able to refinance or retire these obligations assuming continued access to the capital
markets. For a discussion of our long-term debt transactions during 2009, see Note 6. Changes in Capitalization. 58

Common Stock Dividends and Repurchases Dividend payments on common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $0.3325 per share and totaled $168 million. Dividend payments on common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $0.3225 per share and totaled $164 million. In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our common stock to be executed over 18 months beginning August 1, 2008. We are not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares and may suspend or terminate share repurchases at any time. We
repurchased 2,382,200 shares of our common stock for $92 million under this authorization through September 30, 2008. No repurchases have been made since that date. On April 21, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a common stock dividend of $0.3325 per share for the second quarter of 2009. This reflects an indicated annual dividend rate of $1.33 per share. We expect to continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock; however, the declaration and
payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our business, alternate investment opportunities, legal requirements, regulatory
constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. Credit Ratings If the rating agencies lower or withdraw our credit ratings, such revisions may adversely affect the market price of our securities and serve to materially increase our cost of capital and limit access to capital. Outlooks assigned to ratings are as follows: stable, negative (Neg) or positive (Pos).
There is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised by the rating agencies, if, in their respective judgments, circumstances warrant. Each rating given by an agency should be evaluated independently of the other agencies ratings. The
ratings should not be construed as an indication to buy, hold or sell any security. In March 2009, S&P affirmed the ratings and outlooks of PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings.

We expect that the majority of funding for our capital requirements over the next three years will come from internally generated funds. The balance will be provided by the issuance of debt at the respective subsidiary or project level and by equity contributions from us to our subsidiaries. PSE&Gs projected construction and investment expenditures through 2011 are expected to increase by $778 million as compared to amounts previously reported, primarily due to $694 million of spending accelerated from later years under the Capital Economic Stimulus Program approved by the
BPU in April 2009. These expenditures will be financed by a combination of external capital and internally generated funds. Other than this increase at PSE&G, our projected construction and investment expenditures through 2011 are consistent with the amounts disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Power During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, Power made $162 million of capital expenditures (excluding $45 million for nuclear fuel), primarily related to various projects at Fossil and Nuclear. For additional information regarding current projects, see Note 5. Commitments and Contingent
Liabilities. PSE&G During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, PSE&G made $194 million of capital expenditures, primarily for reliability of transmission and distribution systems. The $194 million does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of $9 million, which are included in operating cash
flows. For information related to recent accounting matters, see Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards. ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The market risk inherent in our market-risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, equity security prices and interest rates as discussed in the notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. It is our policy to use
derivatives to manage risk consistent with business plans and prudent practices. We have a Risk Management Committee comprised of executive officers who utilize a risk oversight function to ensure compliance with our corporate policies and risk management practices. Additionally, we are exposed to counterparty credit losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment. We have a credit management process, which is used to assess, monitor and mitigate counterparty exposure. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there
may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows. Commodity Contracts The availability and price of energy-related commodities are subject to fluctuations from factors such as weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies, market rules and other events. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter
into supply contracts and derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and options with approved counterparties. These contracts, in conjunction with demand obligations, help reduce risk and optimize the value of owned electric generation capacity. Value-at-Risk (VaR) Models We use VaR models to assess the market risk of our commodity businesses. The portfolio VaR model includes our owned generation and physical contracts, as well as fixed price sales requirements, load requirements and financial derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential gains or
losses, under normal 60
market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. We estimate VaR across our commodity businesses. We manage our exposure at the portfolio level, which consists of owned generation, load-serving contracts (both gas and electric), fuel supply contracts and energy derivatives designed to manage the risk around generation and load. While we manage our risk at the portfolio level, we also
monitor separately the risk of our trading activities and hedges. Non-trading mark-to-market (MTM) VaR consists of MTM derivatives that are economic hedges, some of which qualify for hedge accounting. The MTM derivatives that are not hedges are included in the trading VaR. The VaR models used are variance/covariance models adjusted for the change of positions with a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period for the MTM trading and non-trading activities and a 95% confidence level with a one-week holding period for the portfolio VaR. The models
assume no new positions throughout the holding periods; however, we actively manage our portfolio. Increased trading activities during 2009 have led to a higher VaR as compared to December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, trading VaR was $2 million. As of December 31, 2008, trading VaR was $1 million.

Credit Risk Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that we would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. We have established credit policies that we believe 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 Powers financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows. As of March 31, 2009, 98% of the credit exposure (MTM plus net receivables and payables, less cash
collateral) for Powers operations was with investment grade counterparties. The following table provides information on Powers credit exposure, net of collateral, as of March 31, 2009. Credit exposure is defined as any positive results of netting accounts receivable/accounts payable and the forward value on open positions. It further delineates that exposure by the credit
rating of the 61

(A) The net exposure listed above, in some cases, will not be the difference between the current exposure and the collateral held. A counterparty may have posted more cash collateral than the outstanding exposure, in which case there would not be exposure. When letters of credit have been posted as
collateral, the exposure amount is not reduced, but the exposure amount is transferred to the rating of the issuing bank. As of March 31, 2009, Power had 148 active counterparties. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported and is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of each respective company, as appropriate, by others within the entities to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a disclosure committee which includes several key management employees and which reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer of each respective company. The committee monitors and
evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer of each company have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and, based on this evaluation, have concluded that disclosure controls and
procedures at each respective company were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report. Internal Controls We continually review our disclosure controls and procedures
and make changes, as necessary, to ensure the quality of our financial reporting. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2009 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each registrants internal control over financial reporting. 62

the cost of new entry (CONE), integration of transmission upgrades into RPM modeling, recognition of locational capacity value, participation in RPM by demand-side and energy efficiency resources, penalties for deficiencies and unavailability of capacity resources, and the calculation of avoided cost and long-term contracting to encourage new entry. On March 26, 2009, the FERC issued an order accepting various parts and rejecting others, including retaining CONE values and reducing RPM auction requirements to encourage participation. While we believe that the order is generally positive, we sought rehearing of this order for further
adjustments to PJMs filing. There are no additional Risk Factors to be added to those disclosed in Part I Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our Common Stock to be executed over 18 months beginning August 1, 2008. We are not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares and may suspend or terminate the share repurchases at any time.
As of March 31, 2009, 2,382,200 shares were repurchased at a total price of $92 million. 2009

printed and distributed. FEDERAL REGULATION Transmission Expansion 2008 Form 10-K, Page 19. PJM has approved the construction of a 500 kV transmission line running from Virginia through Maryland and Delaware and is still considering approval of the portion terminating in Lower Alloways Creek Township, New Jersey. We will be responsible for
constructing and operating a portion of this line, known as the Mid-Atlantic Pathway Project (MAPP), if its portion of the line is approved. In March 2009, we obtained from FERC approval of a 150 basis point ROE adder for this project (yielding a ROE of 13.18%), 100% recovery of
abandonment costs and the ability to transfer the project to an affiliate. Receipt of incentive rates is contingent upon our portion of the MAPP project being approved by PJM as a RTEP project. In December 2008, PJM approved another transmission project, including two additional 500 kV transmission lines, and has assigned construction responsibility to PSE&G. The first line would run from Branchburg to Roseland, and the second from Roseland to Hudson. These lines are still in the
design phase. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Congestion StudyNational Interest Electric Transmission Corridors and FERC Back-Stop Siting Authority 2008 Form 10-K, Page 20. In October 2007, the DOE acted to designate transmission corridors within these critical congestion areas. One of the designated corridors is the Mid-Atlantic Area National Corridor. Thus, entities seeking to build transmission within the Mid-Atlantic Area Corridor,
which includes New Jersey, most of Pennsylvania and New York, may be able to use the FERCs back-stop siting authority in the future under certain circumstances, if necessary, to site transmission, including with respect to the Susquehanna-Roseland line. On February 18, 2009, the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit narrowed the scope of the FERCs back-stop siting authority. FERC has sought reconsideration of this Court of Appeals decision. 64
STATE REGULATION Energy Supply BGSS 2008 Form 10-K, Page 23. In May 2008, PSE&G requested an increase in annual BGSS revenue of $376 million, excluding Sales and Use Tax, to be effective October 1, 2008. Since that time, due to the significant downward trend in wholesale natural gas prices, we filed three revisions to the
BGSS increase, a revised Stipulation (increase of 14% or $267 million), a BGSS self-implementing decrease (5% or approximately $108 million) and a second BGSS self-implementing decrease (7% or approximately $145 million). The increase in the BGSS-Residential Service Gas (RSG) rate
became effective on October 3, 2008 and the decreases became effective on January 1, 2009 and March 1, 2009, respectively. Energy Policy Solar Initiatives 2008 Form 10-K, Page 23. We are investing approximately $105 million over two years in a pilot program to help finance the installation of 30 MW of solar systems throughout our utilitys electric service area by providing loans to customers for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV)
systems on their premises. As of April 24, 2009, we have provided approximately $9 million in loans for approximately 2 MW of solar systems. In February 2009, we filed a new solar initiative with the BPU called the Solar 4 All Program. Through this program, we would invest approximately $773 million to develop 120 MW of solar PV systems over a five-year horizon. The program consists of a centralized PV system (35MW), solar
systems installed on distribution system poles (40MW), roof-mounted systems installed on local government buildings in our electric service territory (43MW) and roof-mounted solar systems installed in New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency affordable housing communities (2MW).
This program remains under review by the BPU. On March 31, 2009, we also filed a new solar loan program, called Solar Loan II, with the BPU. This program is modeled on the original solar loan pilot program discussed above. Under Solar Loan II, we would help finance the installation of an additional 40 MW of solar systems in our
electric service territory. Any remaining financing and capacity from the original solar loan program would be rolled into the new program. Capital Economic Stimulus Infrastructure Program 2008 Form 10-K, Page 25. On January 21, 2009, we filed for approval of a capital economic stimulus infrastructure investment program. Under this initiative, we proposed to undertake $698 million of capital infrastructure investments for electric and gas programs over a 24 month period. The
goal of these accelerated capital investments is to help improve the States economy through the creation of new jobs. This filing was made in response to the Governor of New Jerseys proposal to help revive the economy through job growth and capital spending. The BPU approved a settlement agreement on April 16, 2009 which identified 38 qualifying projects totaling $694 million. These projects are expected to create more than 900 new jobs. On April 28, 2009, we received the BPUs written order which was effective May 1, 2009. Under the program new Capital Adjustment Charges (CAC) will provide for immediate recovery of a return on program expenditures plus depreciation of the assets. The CACs will be adjusted each January based on forecasted program expenditures and will be subject to deferred accounting. The
rates are subject to annual adjustments based on actual expenditures and actual general and economic market conditions. Susquehanna-Roseland BPU Petition 2008 Form 10-K, Page 25. In January 2009, we filed a Petition with the BPU seeking authorization from the BPU to construct the New Jersey portion of the Susquehanna-Roseland line. The New Jersey portion of the line spans approximately 45 miles and crosses through 16 municipalities. The
Petition seeks a finding from the BPU that municipal land use and zoning ordinances of these municipalities do not apply to this line. A procedural schedule has been established, under which the BPU expects to issue a decision in December 2009. We are also in the process of seeking to obtain
all necessary environmental permits for the project. 65

Ms. Caroline Dorsa
2966 Comfort Road
New Hope, PA 18938
Dear Caroline:
We are pleased to offer you the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated ("PSEG" or "Enterprise"), effective April 9, 2009 ("DOE"). In this position, you will be an Officer of Enterprise and an employee of PSEG Services Corporation (the "Company"). You will be a member of the Executive Officer Group, and will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. While you are employed by the Company, you will devote substantially all of your business time and efforts to the performance of your duties and use your best efforts in such endeavors. Your acceptance of this offer of employment constitutes your representation that your execution and performance of the requirements of this position will not be in violation of any other agreement to which you are a party.
You will be paid a base salary of $570,000. Your first salary review will be January 2010. However, in the event of a significant change in responsibilities before December 2009, a salary review will be conducted upon such change in responsibilities. Salary reviews will be conducted annually thereafter.
You will participate in the Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("SMICP") of PSEG under the terms and conditions of that Plan. Your target incentive award will be 60% of your base salary. You may, however, be eligible to receive up to 90% of your base salary dependent upon business results. This may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with established plan procedures. There is no guarantee of payment under the SMICP, and any such payment will be contingent upon your establishment and successful completion of goals and objectives. Any SMICP award for the first calendar year of employment will be prorated for your date of hire.
Within 45 days following your DOE, PSEG Services Corporation will make a cash payment to you in the amount of $200,000 (subject to withholdings according to the IRS and Company policy). This amount must be repaid, and you agree to repay it, if you leave the Company voluntarily or the Company terminates you for Cause within three (3) years of the payment. Cause has the meaning set forth in the Key Executive Severance Plan of PSEG. In addition, within 45 days of your DOE, the Company will make a cash payment to you of $60,000 to compensate you for the loss of compensation due to your acceptance of employment with PSEG. As described below,
2
you will be a participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees of PSEG. Under this Plan, you will have the option to defer all or a portion of these amounts, provided you make an election to do so within 30 days after your DOE.
You will be a participant in the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) of Enterprise. Long-term compensation opportunity is reviewed annually by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the LTIP. At the first Organization and Compensation Committee meeting following the DOE, it will be recommended to the Organization and Compensation Committee that you are provided with a LTIP award for 2009 designed to provide you with a value of approximately $900,000, prorated to your DOE for 2009. Because of shares you will lose as a result of accepting this offer of employment, it will also be recommended to the Organization and Compensation Committee that you be provided with a grant of 8,800 shares of restricted PSEG Common Stock effective with your DOE, which will vest on the fifth anniversary of your DOE, assuming you remain employed with the Company. Dividends on the shares will be paid to you in cash. In the years thereafter, the number and form of LTIP grants recommended in any given year will appropriately reflect your responsibilities and ability to contribute to the long-term success of Enterprise. All grants under the LTIP for 2010 and future years will be subject to the terms of the LTIP and the related grant award.
You will be eligible to participate in the Limited Supplemental Benefit Plan for Certain Employees of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated and its Subsidiaries ("the Limited Plan"). Upon your retirement (at least age 55 with at least five years of service), the Limited Plan will provide a target supplemental pension. In addition, the Company will grant you 15 years of additional credited service after you have been employed for five years for the purposes of calculating your pension. For example, if you complete 10 years of service with the Company upon your retirement, the Plan will provide retirement income equal to 55% of your final average earnings less the aggregate of a) your actual pension provided by the Cash Balance Plan, b) your vested Merck pension and c) your primary Social Security benefit payable at normal retirement age. Your vested Merck pension means that portion of your pension payable from the Merck qualified retirement plan trust. In addition, the Plan provides a supplemental death benefit equal to 150% of annual salary if death occurs while employed and before retirement.
You will be eligible to participate in the PSEG Deferred Compensation Plan For Certain Employees, which allows you to defer all or a portion of your base pay and/or any incentive bonus you may receive in any given year. You are also eligible for an executive annual physical examination arranged through the PSEG's Medical Department. For the purpose of determining the duration of full-pay short-term temporary disability benefits, as of your DOE, you will be treated as if you had ten (10) additional years of service with PSEG. You are eligible to receive twenty (20) days vacation upon your DOE. You are also eligible for relocation reimbursement, in accordance with PSEG's relocation plan, with up to three years to sell your existing residence.
3
In addition, the Company will provide you with car service to transport you to and from your home and your place of work, which will principally be Newark, New Jersey.
You are eligible for those benefits available to associates of PSEG Services Corporation with a similar date of hire generally, except as otherwise provided in this letter. Please visit http://www.pseg.com/benefits and enter the site as a prospective employee. Click the tab "Benefit Details" for information on all PSEG employee benefit programs. You will also find answers to many questions you may have.
PSEG provides automatic enrollment in its 401(k) plan for newly hired employees. Enrollment will take place in the first available pay period following your DOE. If you do not enroll, you will be automatically enrolled at the rate of 3% of your compensation. Your contributions and the Company match on your contributions (beginning upon completion of six months of service) will be placed in the appropriate aged based Target Retirement Fund investment option within the Plan. You may change or cancel your contributions and investment election at any time. More information will be provided in your new hire kit and through our Benefits Center. If you have any questions, please call our Employee Benefits Center at 1-800-571-0400 and speak with a representative.
Your employment with PSEG is at-will and therefore you may be discharged with or without cause and with or without notice at any time.
In the event that your employment is terminated without "Cause" within two years following a Change in Control, PSEG's Key Executive Severance Plan will govern the severance to which you are entitled. It will be recommended to the Board of Directors that you be designated be a Schedule B participant, which provides a change-in-control benefit of three times salary plus bonus. Under this Plan, in the event that your employment is terminated without "Cause" absent a change-in-control, you will be paid a payment equaling one year of your then base salary, plus target annual incentive. In addition, if SMICP payments are made to other participants in any year that your employment is terminated without Cause, you will be paid a prorated award to reflect actual results. In addition, the Plan provides for continuation of medical and dental benefits under the Company's retiree group health care plans, or if not available, under COBRA for one year after termination of employment.
During the course of your employment, you will have access to and become familiar with "Confidential Information" as defined below. You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use any Confidential/lnformation, except as required in the course of your employment with the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries and consistent with their interests. All files, records, documents, or recordings, electronic or otherwise, containing or relating to Confidential Information, whether prepared by you or otherwise coming into your possession, will remain the exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries.
As used herein, the term "Confidential Information" means all trade secrets, proprietary and confidential business information belonging to, used by, or in the
4
possession of the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries, with respect to their respective business strategies, plans and financial information, purchase or sale of property, leasing, pricing sales programs or tactics, actual or past sellers, purchasers, lessees, lessors or customers, those with whom the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries has begun negotiations for new business, costs, employee compensation, marketing and development plans, inventions and technology, whether such Confidential Information is oral, written or electronically recorded or stored, except information in the public domain, information known to you prior to your employment with the Company, and information received by you from sources other than the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries, without obligation of confidentiality. This obligation survives the termination of your employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for that termination.
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach by you of any of the confidentiality terms of this Agreement, PSEG will suffer irreparable harm for which money damages are not an adequate remedy, and that, in the event of such breach, PSEG will be entitled to obtain an order of a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable relief from such breach, including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary and/or permanent injunctions against the breach of such agreements by you. Finally, you agree that you will execute a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement in the form annexed hereto, as a condition of your employment in your new position.
Notwithstanding any provision of this letter to the contrary, if you are a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code Section 409A"), to the extent needed to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, you will not receive payments upon a termination of your employment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six months after your termination of employment for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of your death. The provisions of this paragraph only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with Code Section 409A.
If you (or your representative) inform the Company that any provision of this letter would cause you to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company will consider in good faith reforming such provision, after consulting with you and receiving your approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Company agrees to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to you of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.
Any and all disputes arising out of or relating to your employment, other than an unemployment or workers' compensation claim, will, at the demand of either you or PSEG, whether made before or after the institution of any legal proceeding, be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA and with the United States Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be conducted in Newark, New Jersey before one arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on the arbitrator within 30 days after
5
the demand for arbitration then either party may request the AAA to select an arbitrator, which selection will be deemed acceptable to both parties. To the maximum extent practicable, the arbitration proceeding will be concluded within 180 days of filing the demand for arbitration with the AAA. The parties will share all costs and fees of the arbitration equally, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator. Each party agrees to keep all such disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential except for disclosure of information required by law. Each party further agrees to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator, and that a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered on the award.
Your employment is governed by the laws of New Jersey, without reference to any conflict of law rules or regulations. If a court finds any provision of this letter to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such provision will be severed from this letter and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision as set forth herein. Moreover, this letter contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof,' and supersedes in its entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings or representations relating to the subject matter discussed herein, other than the non-compete and non-solicitation agreement attached. No modifications to this agreement will be valid unless made in writing and signed by both parties.
As part of PSEG's requirement for a work force that is free from the influence of illegal chemical substances, this offer of employment is conditional upon your successful completion of a medical examination which will include definitive analysis of a freshly voided urine specimen for the presence of commonly abused drugs, including marijuana. This offer is also conditional upon a satisfactory background investigation and reference check.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me.
Sincerely,

Dear Caroline:
Reference is made to the agreement dated March 11, 2009 (the "Agreement") between you and Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated ("PSEG") regarding your appointment as an Officer of PSEG and your employment by PSEG Services Corporation (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSEG. One of the provisions of the Agreement was the Companys promise to make a cash payment to you of $60,000 in order to offset the loss of certain compensation resulting from your resignation from the PSEG Board of Directors in order to accept employment with the Company.
As we have discussed and agreed, since the loss of compensation resulting from your resignation turns out to be only a proportionate share (approximately 6%) of the amount in question, this cash payment will be reduced to the appropriate proportional sum to accurately reflect the intention of the parties with respect to this provision of the Agreement. The Company will provide you with a detailed statement of how the payment amount was calculated at the time it is made.
In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of this matter, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me.
Sincerely,
/s/ Margaret M. Pego
Margaret M. Pego
Senior Vice President - Human Resources
and Chief Human Resources Officer
Agreed to this 27 day of April, 2009
