PSEG believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of “Operating Earnings” provides a consistent and comparable measure of performance of its businesses to help shareholders understand performance trends.

          “In the first quarter of 2006, PSEG experienced improved operations of the generating fleet, in particular the nuclear fleet, but softer earnings as a result of the weather,” said Thomas M. O’Flynn, chief financial officer. “Exceptional performance from the nuclear fleet was


highlighted by Hope Creek completing 214 days of continuous operation on April 7 when it entered its 13th refueling outage. This reflects a strong recovery from the first quarter of 2005 when the unit was out for most of January. We are completing the refueling outage at Hope Creek and the unit is expected to return to full operations shortly.

          In addition to the refueling activities, the New Jersey nuclear site that includes both Salem units and Hope Creek recently completed three very important assessments. Frank Cassidy, president of PSEG Power reported that “results from all three were very positive with the peer assessment showing improved teamwork, accountability and alignment.”

          The financial results for the quarter at PSE&G and PSEG Power were dampened somewhat by mild weather and moderating gas prices. Temperature, as measured by degree days during the quarter, was 15% above normal and 20% above 2005 levels. Overall results at Energy Holdings declined due to the absence of gains on asset sales that were reported in the first quarter of 2005. The 2006 results also reflect the dilutive impact of approximately 10 million additional shares outstanding.

Attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations to Operating Earnings and other summary exhibits for the first quarter 2006 and 2005 for PSEG’s principal subsidiaries – PSE&G, PSEG Power and PSEG Energy Holdings.

PSE&G Results and Regulatory Update

          PSE&G’s reported operating earnings of $78 million or 31 cents per share were 33% lower than comparable 2005 results of $117 million or 49 cents per share. Mild temperatures during the quarter cut gas demand significantly and reduced earnings by 7 cents per share. The average January temperature was 11 degrees warmer in 2006 than 2005 while March temperatures were on average 6 degrees warmer in 2006 than 2005.

           In addition to the warmer weather, O’Flynn noted that PSE&G continues to see decreased gas usage by residential customers, beyond the impact of the mild weather. O’Flynn noted “this may indicate some price sensitivity by residential customers to increases in gas supply rates that were put in place in December due to the steep run-up in natural gas prices last fall.” Weather-normalized gas requirements for residential customers have declined 8.6% over the past three years with the most recent year down 3.8%. For the quarter, the lower gas usage reduced earnings by 2 cents per share.

          As part of the August 2003 electric base rate proceeding, a $64 million depreciation credit was established with an expiration date of December 31, 2005. The agreement called for PSE&G to undergo a financial review by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to support the elimination of the depreciation credit. The BPU issued an order on February 7, 2006 indicating that more information was required to support the elimination of the credit and PSE&G could re-file when the first quarter results were available. Based on current sales levels, the annual amount of rate credit has increased to about $68 million. The absence of this expected rate increase during the first quarter further reduced earnings at PSE&G by 4 cents per share.


          Expected rate relief for PSE&G’s gas distribution business has also been delayed. A revised schedule for the gas base rate case was approved in March that indicates a BPU decision in early December 2006. The initial filing for a 3.78% increase in the gas base rate was made in September 2005 with the requested increase effective in October 2006.

          “Action on our recent filings, including the excess depreciation credit and the gas base rate case has been subject to ongoing delays. It appears that until the merger is resolved with the BPU, decisions on these revenue requests may be difficult to achieve,” said O’Flynn.

          Increased O&M expense resulting from higher wage and benefit costs of 2 cents per share also contributed to the overall 18 cent reduction in PSE&G’s earnings from 2005 levels.

PSEG Power

          PSEG Power reported operating earnings of $112 million, or 45 cents per share, a reduction of $4 million, or 3 cents per share from the first quarter of 2005. The five-unit PSEG nuclear fleet operated in excess of 100% of summer capacity for the quarter, 12% higher than the first quarter of 2005. This additional output, combined with the rolling nature of hedge positions and spot market sales, added about 13 cents to the quarterly results at Power. The absence of the replacement power costs incurred in 2005 from the extended Hope Creek outage added another 12 cents to earnings for the quarter.

          Offsetting some of these operational improvements were mark-to-market losses. The actual mark-to-market impact for the first quarter was a loss of 4 cents, while comparable 2005 results included a gain of 5 cents, resulting in a reduction of 9 cents quarter-over-quarter. “Assuming stable commodity prices, we expect the 4 cent mark-to-market loss on our existing positions to unwind over the remaining three quarters of 2006,” O’Flynn said.

          Margins under the Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) contract, primarily from Commercial and Industrial customers, declined 11 cents as the monthly tariffs, which track current NYMEX prices, fell during the quarter while supply costs remained relatively stable. Lower weather-related volumes quarter-over-quarter also contributed to the decline.

          Finally, higher O&M expenses due to higher maintenance costs at fossil, lower O&M costs at nuclear and additional depreciation expense from the Bethlehem Energy Center that came on-line in June 2005, combined to reduce quarterly operating earnings at Power by 5 cents per share.

          Looking beyond the first quarter, Power currently serves BGS tranches that were won in the 2003 auction at an average price of about $55 per MWhr. On June 1st these contracts will be replaced with contracts from the most recent BGS auction with an average price of about $102 per MWhr. “The expiration of BGS and other obligations and the recontracting of our expected nuclear and coal output at higher prices is expected to provide longer-term earnings growth at Power,” said O’Flynn.


PSEG Energy Holdings

          Energy Holdings reported operating earnings of $28 million, or 12 cents per share, a decline of $37 million or 15 cents per share. This decline stemmed primarily from the absence of gains totaling 13 cents recorded during the first quarter of 2005, most notably the withdrawal from the Eagle Point partnership.

          PSEG Global’s Texas plants entered into long-term contracts last fall for a portion of their output that added 4 cents to the quarter-over-quarter results. These contracts are also subject to mark-to-market accounting treatment, which reduced earnings by 2 cents per share for the quarter. Assuming stable prices, about half the 2 cent loss reported in the first quarter is expected to reverse during the current year.

          The improved domestic operations at PSEG Global, coupled with the pending sale of assets in Poland, have changed the earnings mix at Energy Holdings, resulting in a 5-cent per share increase quarter-over-quarter in income taxes. Domestic earnings are taxed at the current US rate while foreign earnings are taxed at local rates which are often lower. The change in the earnings mix at Holdings will gradually increase the effective tax rate.

2006 Outlook

          “With the mild weather in the first quarter, the ongoing delay in the depreciation credit proceeding, the requested gas base rate increase being deferred until December and increased O&M costs at the utility, we are reducing our 2006 operating earnings range for PSE&G by $45 million” said O’Flynn. “Our other businesses are now forecasting stronger results for the current year, offsetting the reduction at PSE&G.”

          “We are increasing our operating earnings expectations for PSEG Power by $25 million as we realize the favorable current year impact on our recontracted nuclear and coal output,” O’Flynn said. The 2006 range for Energy Holdings was increased by $10 million as a result of improvements in the Texas energy market. Finally, the expected impact of corporate expenses was reduced by $10 million.

          Below is a summary of the revised 2006 operating earnings guidance ranges by company for PSEG:

 

 

PSE&G

$270 - $290 million

PSEG Power

$500 - $550 million

PSEG Energy Holdings

$165 - $185 million

Corporate Expense

($60) – ($70) million

“These changes to the individual company operating earnings ranges will not impact our expectations for PSEG,” O’Flynn said and reaffirmed 2006 operating earnings guidance of $3.45 to $3.75 per share. PSEG anticipates earnings per share growth in excess of 10% per year for 2007 and 2008, assuming continued improved operations at Power and reasonable outcomes in PSE&G’s regulatory proceedings.


Merger Update

          E. James Ferland, chairman and chief executive officer, said “we remain fully committed to our merger with Exelon and continue to work hard to reach settlements with the Department of Justice and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities that retain the fundamental economic benefits which were anticipated when the merger was announced in December 2004.” Hearings in New Jersey concluded on March 31, 2006 and initial briefs were filed by all parties on April 26. Reply briefs are due to be filed with the Administrative Law Judge on May 10. “We expect to complete all the necessary regulatory reviews and close the merger in the third quarter of 2006,” Ferland said.

PSEG’s credit agreements contain covenants that require PSEG’s debt to capitalization ratio not to exceed 70.0% at the end of any quarterly period. The debt to capitalization ratio calculated under PSEG’s credit agreements as of March 31, 2006 was 57.5%. The ratio as calculated pursuant to these covenants exclude non-recourse project debt ($920 million), securitization debt ($2.005 billion) and Debt Supporting Trust Preferred Securities ($660 million), which is now included in Long-Term debt due to the adoption of Financial Interpretation 46, and include capital lease obligations ($52 million) and certain other obligations such as guarantees and letters of credit ($648 million). This ratio is presented for the benefit of the investors and the related securities to which the covenants apply and is not intended as a financial performance or liquidity measure.

(A) Total Capital at Risk includes Global’s gross investments less non-recourse debt at the project level.

(B) For investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, includes Global’s share of net earnings, including Interest Expense and Income Tax Expense. The $31 million decrease in EBIT in North America for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, was primarily due to $37 million of gain from withdrawal from the Eagle Point cogeneration partnership interest in 2005.

(C) Non-Recourse Interest is Interest Expense on debt that is non-recourse to Global.

(D) The Total Capital at Risk includes amounts relating to Elcho and Skawina as the sale has not been completed, therefore there is still Capital at Risk in Poland. EBIT and Non-Recourse Interest exclude amounts relating to Elcho and Skawina. EBIT was $15 million and $25 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Non-Recourse Interest was $9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
