GAAP Disclaimer

PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP). Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure
that differs from Net Income because it excludes the impact of the sale of
certain non-core domestic and international assets, costs stemming from
the terminated merger agreement with Exelon Corporation and material
impairments and lease-transaction-related charges. PSEG presents
Operating Earnings because management believes that it is appropriate
for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to the
results reported in accordance with GAAP. 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.  This information is
not intended to be viewed as an alternative to GAAP information. The last
slide in this presentation includes a list of items excluded from Net
Income to reconcile to Operating Earnings
, with a reference to that slide
included on each of the slides where the non-GAAP information appears.

Future investment associated with meeting State energy
efficiency and renewable goals dependent on receiving
regulatory support before committing new capital, e.g. $485M
investment budgeted for AMI through 2012.

BPU approved $105M investment in solar in April 2008; PSEG
forecast includes $225M capital for solar through 2011 and
$170M for energy efficiency.

Investments focused on improving customer support,
enhancing efficiency and upgrading infrastructure

Expect to file electric and gas rate case in 2009 with rates
effective in 2010

Rate base growth supported by investment in new 500kV   
lines to improve reliability ($900M) and upgrade of sub-

Impact of Lease Reserves

2Q 2008 results include a charge of $490 million:

$135 million after-tax increase to the interest reserve recorded in
Income Tax Expense.

$355 million after-tax charge reflecting a change in assumptions
relating to the amount paid and timing of cash flow for certain leases
in the portfolio.  This charge will be recognized in income over the
remaining terms of the affected leases.

Reserves represent our view of most of the book exposure related
to the leases under challenge.  In addition, our forecast of cash
available includes potential cash outflows of $900 - $950 million
over 2 – 3 years.

Based on status of discussions with IRS, PSEG anticipates that it
will pay in 2008, the taxes, interest and penalties claimed by the
IRS for 1997-2000 audit cycle ($300 - $350 million) and
subsequently commence litigation to recover a refund.

Transmission opportunities will require substantial
deployment of capital.

Transmission Growth

PJM approval was received for the $600-$650
million Susquehanna to Roseland line in October
2007

Siting and permitting process underway

FERC approved Incentive rate filing:

125 BPS adder to ROE

100% CWIP in Rate Base

FERC approval of the MAPP projects also mandates
an additional $100 million of capital at Salem/Hope
Creek

FERC approval of Sub Transmission to
Transmission system reliability investments
represents about $250 million through 2012, post-
2012 ~$60 million/year

Other approved RTEP projects ~$250 million also
contribute meaningfully to improved reliability and
earnings growth

Backbone projects are in preliminary stages but
present real opportunity to improve reliability
throughout the state, with the potential investment of
~ $1.5B through 2015

When coupled with formula rate design and additional incentives, it
is expected to provide current return on forecasted capital
expenditures thereby improving profitability.

Due to market uncertainty …

Key drivers behind decision to remain largely unhedged beyond 2008:

Oversold market: Many generators seeking a hedge, limited appetite among hedge providers.

Market uncertainty:

Uncertainty relating to move to a nodal pricing market.

Impact of wind generation in western ERCOT.

Transmission maintenance: Extensive maintenance of 345kV line near Global’s Odessa unit.
