Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosures [Line Items]

Financial Risk Management Activities

Financial Risk Management Activities

Derivative accounting guidance requires that a derivative instrument be recognized as either an asset or a liability at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings each period. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation provided that the derivative instrument meets specific, restrictive criteria, both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible treatments include normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS), cash flow hedge and fair value hedge accounting. PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and qualifying as cash flow or fair value hedges. PSEG Power enters into additional contracts that are derivatives, but are not designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. These transactions are economic hedges and are recorded at fair market value with changes recognized in earnings.

Commodity Prices

Within PSEG and its affiliate companies, PSEG Power has the most exposure to commodity price risk primarily relating to changes in the market price of electricity, natural gas and other commodities. Fluctuations in market prices result from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market conditions, weather, state and federal regulatory policies, environmental policies, transmission availability and other factors. PSEG Power uses a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments, such as financial options, futures, swaps, fuel purchases and forward purchases and sales of electricity, to manage the exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and optimize the value of PSEG Power’s expected generation. PSEG Power also uses

derivatives to hedge a portion of its anticipated BGSS obligations with PSE&G. For additional information see Note 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Additionally, prospective changes in the fair market value of these derivative contracts are recorded in earnings.

Interest Rates

PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Exposure to this risk is managed by targeting a balanced debt maturity profile which limits refinancing in any given period or interest rate environment. PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power may use a mix of fixed and floating rate debt, interest rate swaps and interest rate lock agreements.

Cash Flow Hedges

PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and effective as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to variable-rate debt instruments.

As of March 31, 2024, PSEG had interest rate hedges outstanding totaling $1.75 billion which were executed to convert PSEG Power’s $1.25 billion variable rate term loan due March 2025 and PSEG’s $500 million variable rate term loan due April 2024 into fixed rate loans. The fair value of these hedges was $9 million and $5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2024, PSEG unwound interest rate treasury locks totaling $1 billion in connection with the $1.25 billion long-term debt issuances at PSEG that occurred in March 2024. See Note 10. Debt and Credit Facilities for additional information. The settlement payment of $4 million received for these treasury locks was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and will be amortized into earnings to match the term and timing of the hedged debt.

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to outstanding and terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $21 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The after-tax unrealized gains on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months is $8 million.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following are the fair values of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables also include disclosures for offsetting derivative assets and liabilities which are subject to a master netting or similar agreement. In general, the terms of the agreements provide that in the event of an early termination the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. Accordingly, and in accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, these positions are offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of PSEG. For additional information see Note 12. Fair Value Measurements.

Substantially all derivative instruments are contracts subject to master netting agreements. Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following tabular disclosure does not include the offsetting of trade receivables and payables.

(A)     Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of cash collateral. All cash collateral (received) posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, PSEG Power had net cash collateral (receipts) payments to counterparties of $281 million and $113 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral (receipts) payments, $198 million and $22 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $198 million as of March 31, 2024, $115 million was netted against current liabilities and $83 million against noncurrent liabilities. Of the $22 million as of December 31, 2023, $(1) million was netted against current assets, $15 million against current liabilities and $8 million against noncurrent liabilities.

Certain of PSEG Power’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require PSEG Power to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon PSEG Power’s credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These

credit risk-related contingent features stipulate that if PSEG Power were to be downgraded to a below investment grade rating by S&P or Moody’s, it would be required to provide additional collateral. A below investment grade credit rating for PSEG Power would represent a two level downgrade from its current Moody’s and S&P ratings. This incremental collateral requirement can offset collateral requirements related to other derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master agreements. PSEG Power also enters into commodity transactions on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The NYMEX and ICE clearing houses act as counterparties to each trade. Transactions on the NYMEX and ICE must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margin requirements.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the NYMEX and ICE that are fully collateralized) was $86 million as of March 31, 2024 and $77 million as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, PSEG Power had the contractual right of offset of $42 million and $3 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under master agreements and net of margin posted. If PSEG Power had been downgraded to a below investment grade rating, it would have had additional collateral obligations of $44 million and $74 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to its derivatives, net of the contractual right of offset under master agreements and the application of collateral.

Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that PSEG Power would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. PSEG has established credit policies that it believes significantly minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.

As of March 31, 2024, nearly 100% of the net credit exposure for PSEG Power’s wholesale operations was with investment grade counterparties. There were two counterparties with credit exposure greater than 10% of the total. These credit exposures were with PSE&G and one non-affiliated counterparty. The PSE&G credit exposure is eliminated in consolidation. See Note 18. Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

PSE&G’s supplier master agreements are approved by the BPU and govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts. These agreements define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements and allow a supplier to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day the procurement transaction is executed, compared to the forward price curve for energy on the valuation day. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post a parental guarantee or other security instrument such as a letter of credit or cash, as collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. As of March 31, 2024, PSEG held parental guarantees, letters of credit and cash as security. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of March 31, 2024, PSE&G had $15 million in unsecured mark-to-market credit exposure with its suppliers.

PSE&G is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the BPU-approved BGS tariffs. PSE&G’s counterparty credit risk is mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates.
