2008.  

Section 13 of the RGGI Law permits utilities to invest and/or offer

programs in renewables, conservation and energy efficiency

In its service territory

On a regulated basis

BPU approved rate treatment including ROE or other incentives or

rate mechanisms that decouple utility revenue from sales

Through rate base

Or clause mechanisms

The BPU established rules and regulations to determine utility

participation and the mechanisms for recovery of costs

Written order from BPU within 180 days of filing

BPU rules set forth RGGI Minimum Filing Requirements

Minimum Filing Requirements can be waived at Board staff

Transmission Growth

PJM approved the $750M Susquehanna to
Roseland line in October 2007

Siting and permitting process underway

Incentives approved by FERC:

ROE: 12.93% (125 basis point adder)

100% CWIP in Rate Base

FERC approval of Sub-Transmission to
Transmission system reliability investments
represents about $340M through 2011, post-2011
~$60M per year

Other approved RTEP projects ~$250M

PJM approved the Branchburg-Roseland-Hudson
line in November 2008, which is expected to be in-
service by 2013.  Coupled with additional 500 kV
investments brings potential capital expenditures to
approximately $1.5B

These opportunities will require substantial deployment of capital with siting
and permitting as the major challenges.

Formula rates provides the proper incentives to encourage
Transmission infrastructure investment.

Delivering Value: Today and Tomorrow       11


State regulatory mechanisms must match desired
capital investment outcomes.

Timely recovery of capital investment is of paramount
importance.

Distribution Formula Rates presents a comprehensive
solution to both investment and sales attrition.  

Annual projections for all components of rates including
sales

True ups can handle weather variances, lost sales from
economic downturn or conservation and differences in
spending versus planned commitments

Regardless of the solution, the regulatory treatment
needs to be fair and balanced.  

The New Jersey Capital Stimulus Investment is an excellent example
of what can be achieved through collaboration with the regulators.

Delivering Value: Today and Tomorrow       12


Rate Mechanism for EE Stimulus       

PSE&G proposes to recover the costs of the program through
an annual adjustment to electric and gas rates which would
not exceed 1%.

The cost of capital would be based on a capital structure
consisting of 51.2% common equity with a return on common
equity of 10.3%--consistent with the return allowed NJNG in
its December 2008 base rate case decision.

The Energy Efficiency Program revenue requirements would
include the recovery of lost distribution margin.

Decoupling and Straight-Fixed-Variable rate design are meaningful alternatives

Maximizing energy savings without lost margin recovery
perpetuates the utility disincentive.

Delivering Value: Today and Tomorrow       13


We proposed an energy efficiency investment to stimulate
the economy and create meaningful savings.

PSE&G Solar 4 All Proposal

Neighborhood Solar (40 megawatts) - $264M investment

Solar panels on utility poles and street lights in neighborhoods throughout
PSE&G’s service territory.

Local Government Solar (43 megawatts) - $273M investment

Solar, owned and operated by PSE&G, on municipal and public school district
facilities. Local governments will receive a credit on their utility bill equal to the
amount of energy generated by the system.

Centralized Solar (35 megawatts) – $221M investment

Solar systems on PSE&G land/buildings.

Solar energy farms on brownfields, non-profit-owned real estate, and
underdeveloped real estate

HMFA/Affordable Housing Solar (2 megawatts) - $15M investment

Solar on New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA)-financed
or other affordable housing communities

PSE&G is seeking a 10.3% ROE on its equity capital invested (51.2% common equity
in its capital structure).  Customer rate impact mitigated by benefits associated with ITC
and the value of electricity and Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs)
generated by the projects

NJ BPU has 180 days to respond.

This program also addresses underserved markets.

Delivering Value: Today and Tomorrow       15


Investing in Solar assets provides a superior outcome
for our investors.

Strong belief that utilities can help to move the solar
market in a positive direction with clear oversight by
the regulators

Lower panel costs through acquisition for utility programs

Create meaningful and tangible progress towards
aggressive EMP goals

Create a viable SREC market

PPA’s are dilutive to our shareholders

Imputed debt by rating agencies require corrective
action, i.e., increase equity content in capital structure to
offset additional leverage

Utility profits are regulated and transparent to
regulators.
