In addition to items previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant regulatory orders received and currently pending rate filings with the BPU or FERC are as follows: BGSS—In January and February 2023, PSE&G filed with the BPU two self-implementing BGSS rate reductions of 15 cents and 3 cents per therm, effective February 1, 2023 and March 1, 2023, respectively. These reductions resulted in a new BGSS rate of approximately 47 cents per therm effective March 1, 2023. In April 2023, the BPU gave final approval to PSE&G’s BGSS rate of 47 cents per therm. In September 2023, the BPU approved on a provisional basis PSE&G’s June 2023 request to decrease its BGSS rate to approximately 40 cents per therm, effective October 1, 2023.

CIP—In February 2023, the BPU gave final approval for PSE&G to recover approximately $52 million of deficient electric revenues that resulted from the 12-month period ended May 31, 2022, with approximately $18 million approved for recovery for the first year starting on the effective date of June 15, 2022 and the remaining $34 million to be recovered starting in June 2023. In April 2023, the BPU gave final approval for PSE&G to recover approximately $53 million of deficient gas revenues that resulted from the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, over one year effective October 1, 2022.

In September 2023, the BPU provisionally approved PSE&G’s gas CIP petition to recover $110 million of deficient gas revenues comprised of approximately $99 million for the most recent gas CIP annual period ended September 30, 2023, and an additional $11 million carryover underrecovery from the prior CIP period. The revenue deficiency is the result of lower revenues as compared to a baseline established in PSE&G’s most recent distribution base rate proceeding. New rates are effective October 1, 2023 and PSE&G expects to recover the full $110 million deficiency over a 12-month period. COVID-19 Deferral—In May and June 2023, the BPU issued two Orders to all public utilities in New Jersey that stipulated a filing deadline for recovery of COVID-19 Regulatory Asset balances, and set forth certain filing requirements primarily related to recovery proposals to be included by each utility in their COVID-19 filings. In July 2023, PSE&G filed a petition with the BPU in compliance with those Orders requesting recovery of its incremental costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This matter is pending. As of September 30, 2023, PSE&G has deferred approximately $131 million as a Regulatory Asset for its net incremental costs, including $68 million for incremental gas bad debt expense associated with customer accounts receivable. PSE&G expects its COVID-19 Regulatory Asset balance is probable of recovery under the BPU orders. Energy Strong II—In April 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s updated filing for annual electric and gas revenue increases of $16 million and $4 million, respectively, effective May 1, 2023. These increases represent the return on and of Energy Strong II investments placed in service through January 2023. In October 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s updated filing for an annual increase in electric revenues of approximately $9 million associated with capitalized electric investment costs of the Energy Strong II program, with new rates effective November 1, 2023. This increase represents the return on and of actual investments through July 31, 2023. Gas System Modernization Program II (GSMP II)—In May 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s updated GSMP II cost recovery filing to recover an annual gas revenue increase of approximately $11 million effective June 1, 2023. This increase represents the return on and of GSMP II investments placed in service through February 2023. Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC)—In May 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s 2022 updated GPRC filing for annual electric and gas revenue increases of $87 million and $5 million, respectively, with new rates effective June 1, 2023. Additionally in May 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s petition to increase its Clean Energy Future-EE sub program investment (a component of GPRC) by $280 million and approved a nine-month extension to make investments. In June 2023, PSE&G filed its 2023 GPRC cost recovery petition requesting BPU approval for recovery of increases of $38 million and $20 million in annual electric and gas revenues, respectively. This matter is pending. Pension—In February 2023, the BPU approved an accounting order authorizing PSE&G to modify its method for calculating the amortization of the net actuarial gain or loss component of pension expense for ratemaking purposes. This methodology change for ratemaking purposes is effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2023 and forward. As of September 30, 2023, PSE&G has deferred $43 million as a Regulatory Asset under this methodology. Remediation Adjustment Charge (RAC)—In January 2023, PSE&G filed its RAC 30 petition with the BPU seeking recovery of approximately $44 million of net Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) expenditures incurred from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. This matter is pending. SBC—In January 2023, PSE&G filed a petition to increase its annual electric and gas rates by approximately $52 million and $32 million, respectively, in order to recover electric and gas costs incurred or expected to be incurred through February 2024 under its EE and Renewable Energy and Social Programs. The increase to electric rates includes the impact of increased bad debt expense as a result of the negative economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting impact of moratoriums on collections. This matter is pending. Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC)—In July 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s updated 2022 TAC filing to increase annual electric revenues by approximately $17 million and decrease annual gas revenues by approximately $42 million, with new rates effective August 1, 2023. In September 2023, PSE&G submitted its annual 2023 TAC filing, seeking approval to increase annual electric and gas revenues by approximately $61 million and $44 million, respectively. Transmission Formula Rates—In June 2023, PSE&G filed with FERC its 2022 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for calendar year 2022, as established by its 2022 annual forecast filing. The June 2023 true-up filing resulted in an approximate $21 million decrease in the 2022 annual revenue requirement from the revenue requirement numbers contained in the forecast filing. PSE&G had previously recognized the majority of the lower revenue requirement in its 2022 Consolidated Statement of Operations. In October 2023, PSE&G filed its Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update with FERC, which will result in a $58 million increase in annual transmission revenue effective January 1, 2024, subject to true-up. ZEC Program—In January 2023, the BPU approved PSE&G’s petition to set the ZEC refund component of the tariff rate to zero effective February 1, 2023 as overcollections for the ZEC Energy Year ended May 31, 2022 totaling $1.3 million, including interest, were refunded to customers in 2022 through January 2023. In August 2023, the BPU approved the final ZEC price of $9.88 per MWh for the energy year ended May 31, 2023. As a result, PSE&G purchased approximately $165 million in ZECs including interest, from the eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU with the final payment made in August 2023. As total customer collections equaled the required ZEC payments, there were no overcollected revenues from customers for the Energy Year ended May 31, 2023.
