Estimated Fair Values

	December 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	Millions
Long-Term Debt:
PSEG (A) (B)	$	1,195	$	1,185	$	503	$	506
PSE&G (B)	7,818		8,240		6,821		7,235
Power - Recourse Debt (B)	2,382		2,578		2,237		2,508
Energy Holdings:
Project Level, Non-Recourse Debt (C)	—		—		7		7
	$	11,395	$	12,003	$	9,568	$	10,256

(A) Fair value includes a $500 million floating rate term loan and net offsets. The fair value of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) was considered to be equal to the carrying value because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly. As of December 31, 2015, carrying amount includes such fair value reduced by the unamortized premium resulting from a debt exchange entered into between Power and Energy Holdings.

(B) Given that most bonds do not trade, the fair value amounts of taxable debt securities (primarily Level 2 measurements) are generally determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current market pricing curves. In order to incorporate the credit risk into the discount rates, pricing is obtained (i.e. U.S. Treasury rate plus credit spread) based on expected new issue pricing across each of the companies’ respective debt maturity spectrum. The credit spreads of various tenors obtained from this information are added to the appropriate benchmark U.S. Treasury rates in order to determine the current market yields for the various tenors. The yields are then converted into discount rates of various tenors that are used for discounting the respective cash flows of the same tenor for each bond or note.

(C) Non-recourse project debt was valued as equivalent to the amortized cost and is classified as a Level 3 measurement.
