Basis of Presentation
The financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes) should be read in conjunction with, and update and supplement matters discussed in, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Significant Accounting Policies

This accounting standard, and related updates, were adopted on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective transition method. There was no effect on net income as a result of adoption. However, certain retrospective adjustments were recorded in accordance with the new standard. At PSE&G, retrospective adjustments increased Operating Revenues by $25 million and $39 million, Energy Costs by $16 million and $25 million, and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense by $9 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. At Power, retrospective adjustments reduced Operating Revenues and Energy Costs by $11 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. For disclosure requirements under this standard, including Nature of Goods and Services, Disaggregation of Revenues, and Remaining Performance Obligations under Fixed Consideration Contracts, see Note 3. Revenues.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—ASU 2016-01
Power maintains an external master trust fund to provide for the costs of decommissioning upon termination of operations of its nuclear facilities. In addition, PSEG maintains a grantor trust which was established to meet the obligations related to its non-qualified pension plans and deferred compensation plans, commonly referred to as a “Rabbi Trust.”
This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, equity investments in Power’s Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) and PSEG’s Rabbi Trust Funds are measured at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses now recognized through Net Income instead of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The debt securities in these trusts continue to be classified as available-for-sale with the unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Realized gains and losses on both equity and available-for-sale debt security investments are recorded in earnings and are included with the unrealized gains and losses on equity securities in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. Other-than-temporary impairments on NDT and Rabbi Trust securities are also included in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. A cumulative effect adjustment was made to reclassify the net unrealized gains related to equity investments of $342 million ($176 million, net of tax) from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Retained Earnings on January 1, 2018. See Note 16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax and Note 8. Trust Investments for further discussion.
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments—ASU 2016-15
This accounting standard reduces the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statement of Cash Flows.
PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method and had no changes in its presentation of its Statement of Cash Flows for each period presented.
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash—ASU 2016-18
This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. PSEG will continue the current balance sheet classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. PSEG has provided a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted

cash or restricted cash equivalents and has included a description of these amounts in Note 1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. The effect of adoption on the June 30, 2018 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows was immaterial.
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (OPEB)—ASU 2017-07
This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, entities are required to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by their employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the Statement of Operations separately from the service cost component after Operating Income. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. As a result of adopting this standard, PSE&G reduced its charge to expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 by approximately $15 million and $29 million, respectively. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were recast to show retrospective adjustments of the non-service cost components of net benefit credits (costs) of $(1) million and $(3) million at PSE&G and $2 million and $4 million at Power, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, from O&M Expense to a new line item after Operating Income entitled Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs). See. Note 9. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB).
Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting—ASU 2017-09
This accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2018. The standard will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after January 1, 2018. PSEG does not expect a material impact from adoption of this new standard.
New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Leases—ASU 2016-02, updated by ASUs 2018-01, 2018-10 and 2018-11
This accounting standard, and related updates, replaces existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize all leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet using a right-of-use asset approach. At lease commencement, a lessee will recognize a lease asset and corresponding lease obligation. A lessee will classify its leases as either finance leases or operating leases based on whether control of the underlying assets has transferred to the lessee. A lessor will classify its leases as operating or direct financing leases, or as sales-type leases based on whether control of the underlying assets has transferred to the lessee. Both the lessee and lessor models require additional disclosure of key information. The standard allows lessees and lessors to apply either (i) a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, or (ii) a prospective transition approach for leases existing as of January 1, 2019 with a cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded to Retained Earnings. PSEG intends to adopt this standard on a prospective basis. Existing guidance related to leveraged leases does not change.
This standard permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to exclude evaluation of land easements that exist or expired before the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and that were not previously accounted for as leases.
PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements while undertaking the following implementation activities: (i) reviewing all contract types throughout PSEG to determine the lease population; (ii) implementing a lease accounting system to capture and account for long-term (greater than one year) leases to be operational on January 1, 2019; (iii) developing internal lease accounting policies and determining the practical expedients PSEG will elect; and (iv) drafting lease disclosures required in 2019. PSEG expects adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the balance sheets of PSEG and PSE&G, but has not yet quantified this impact.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities—ASU 2017-12
This accounting standard’s amendments more closely align hedge accounting with the companies’ risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments expand hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components by permitting contractually specified components to be designated as the hedged risk in a cash flow hedge involving the purchase or sale of non-financial assets or variable rate financial instruments. The amendments also permit an entity to measure the interest rate risk on the hedged item in a partial-term fair value hedge assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged. Additionally, the amendments ease the operational burden of applying hedge accounting by allowing more time to prepare hedge documentation, and allowing effectiveness assessments to be performed on a qualitative basis after hedge inception.
The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard requires using a modified retrospective method upon adoption. Early adoption is permitted. PSEG analyzed the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and has determined that the standard could enable PSEG to enter into certain transactions that

can be deemed hedges that previously would not have qualified. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on PSEG’s financial statements.
Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities—ASU 2017-08
This accounting standard was issued to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the standard requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.
The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the standard in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply this standard on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income—ASU 2018-02
This accounting standard would affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification topic, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income,” and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. Specifically, this standard would allow entities to record a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate. The amount of the reclassification would be the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted 21% corporate income tax rate.
The standard is effective for all entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.
An entity would be able to choose to apply this standard retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the new tax legislation enacted in 2017 is recognized or apply the standard in the reporting period adopted. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact this standard, if adopted, could have on its consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments—ASU 2016-13
This accounting standard provides a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost. The new model requires entities to use an estimate of expected credit losses that will be recognized as an impairment allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses is to be based on past events, current conditions and supportable forecasts over a reasonable period. For purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, a similar model is to be used; however, the initial allowance will be added to the purchase price rather than reported as an allowance. Credit losses on available-for-sale securities should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP; however, this standard requires those credit losses to be presented as an allowance, rather than a write-down. This new standard also requires additional disclosures of credit quality indicators for each class of financial asset disaggregated by year of origination.
The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, entities may adopt early beginning in the annual or interim periods after December 15, 2018. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment—ASU 2017-04
This accounting standard requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
An entity should apply this standard on a prospective basis and will be required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. The new standard is effective for impairment tests for periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. PSEG does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 3. Revenues
Nature of Goods and Services
The following is a description of principal activities by reportable segment from which PSEG, PSE&G and Power generate their revenues.
PSE&G
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electric and Gas Distribution and Transmission Revenues—PSE&G sells gas and electricity to customers under default commodity supply tariffs. PSE&G’s regulated electric and gas default commodity supply and distribution services are separate tariffs which are satisfied as the product(s) and/or services are delivered to the customer. The electric and gas commodity and delivery tariffs are recurring contracts in effect until cancellation by the customer. Revenue is recognized over time as the service is rendered to the customer. Included in PSE&G’s regulated revenues are unbilled electric and gas revenues which represent the estimated amount customers will be billed for services rendered from the most recent meter reading to the end of the respective accounting period.
PSE&G’s transmission revenues are earned under a separate FERC tariff. The performance obligation of transmission service is satisfied over time as it is provided to and consumed by the customer. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the transmission service. PSE&G’s revenues from the transmission of electricity are recorded based on a FERC-approved annual formula rate mechanism. This mechanism provides for an annual filing of an estimated revenue requirement with rates effective January 1 of each year and a mechanism true-up to that estimate based on actual revenue requirements. The true-up mechanism is an alternative revenue which is outside the scope of revenue from contracts with customers.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Other revenues from contracts with customers, which are not a material source of PSE&G revenues, are generated primarily from appliance repair services and solar generation projects. The performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of products is delivered or services are rendered.
Payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of month of delivery.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Other PSE&G revenues unrelated to contracts with customers are derived from alternative revenue mechanisms recorded pursuant to regulatory accounting guidance. These revenues, which include weather normalization, green energy program true-ups and transmission formula rate true-ups, are not a material source of PSE&G revenues.
Power
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Electricity and Related Products—Wholesale and retail load contracts are executed in the different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for the bundled supply of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs) and ancillary services representing Power’s performance obligations. Revenue for these contracts is recognized over time as the bundled service is provided to the customer. Transaction terms generally run from several months to three years. Power also sells to the ISOs energy and ancillary services which are separately transacted in the day-ahead or real-time energy markets. The energy and ancillary services performance obligations are typically satisfied over time as delivered and revenue is recognized accordingly. Power generally reports electricity sales and purchases conducted with those individual ISOs net on an hourly basis in either Operating Revenues or Energy Costs in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification depends on the net hourly activity.
Power enters into capacity sales and capacity purchases through the ISOs. The transactions are reported on a net basis dependent on Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs. The performance obligations with the ISOs are satisfied over time upon delivery of the capacity and revenue is recognized accordingly. In addition to capacity sold through the ISOs, Power sells capacity through bilateral contracts and the related revenue is recognized over time upon delivery of the capacity.
Gas Contracts—Power sells wholesale natural gas, primarily through an index based full requirements Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) contract with PSE&G to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s customers. The BGSS contract, which extends through March 2019, will renew year-to-year thereafter unless terminated by either party with a two year notice. The performance obligation is primarily delivery of gas which is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized as gas is delivered. Based upon the availability of natural gas, storage and pipeline capacity beyond PSE&G’s daily needs, Power also sells gas and

Table of Contents
pipeline capacity to other counterparties under bilateral contracts. The performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time upon delivery of the gas or capacity, and revenue is recognized accordingly.
Other Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Power enters into bilateral contracts to sell solar power and solar RECs from its solar facilities. Contract terms range from 15 to 30 years. The performance obligations are generally solar power and RECs which are transferred to customers upon generation. Revenue is recognized upon generation of the solar power.
Power has entered into long-term contracts with LIPA for energy management and fuel procurement services. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Power’s revenues unrelated to contracts with customers include electric, gas and certain energy-related transactions accounted for in accordance with Derivatives and Hedging accounting guidance. See Note 12. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. Power is also a party to solar contracts that qualify as leases and are accounted for in accordance with lease accounting guidance.
Other
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
PSEG LI has a contract with LIPA which generates revenues. PSEG LI’s subsidiary, Long Island Electric Utility Servco, LLC (Servco) records costs which are recovered from LIPA and records the recovery of those costs as revenues when Servco is a principal in the transaction.
Revenues Unrelated to Contracts with Customers
Energy Holdings generates lease revenues which are recorded pursuant to lease accounting guidance.

(B) | Includes primarily alternative revenues at PSE&G, derivative contracts at Power, and lease contracts in Other. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Other includes a $20 million loss and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Other includes a $22 million loss and a $77 million loss, respectively, related to Energy Holdings’ investments in leases.

Contract Balances
PSE&G
PSE&G does not have any material contract balances (rights to consideration for services already provided or obligations to provide services in the future for consideration already received) as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Substantially all of PSE&G’s accounts receivable result from contracts with customers. Allowances represented approximately seven percent of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Power
Power generally collects consideration upon satisfaction of performance obligations, and therefore, Power had no material contract balances as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Power’s accounts receivable include amounts resulting from contracts with customers and other contracts which are out of scope of accounting guidance for revenues from contracts with customers. The majority of these accounts receivable are subject to master netting agreements. As a result, accounts receivable resulting from contracts with customers and receivables unrelated to contracts with customers are netted within Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the wholesale energy markets in which Power operates, payment for services rendered and products transferred are typically due within 30 days of month of delivery. As such, there is little credit risk associated with these receivables and Power typically records no allowances.
Other
PSEG LI does not have any material contract balances as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Power and PSE&G primarily record revenues as allowed by the guidance, which states that if an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date, the entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. PSEG has future performance obligations under contracts with fixed consideration as follows:

As stated above, capacity transactions with ISOs are reported on a net basis dependent on Power’s monthly net sale or purchase position through the individual ISOs.
Capacity Payments from the PJM Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) Annual Base Residual and Incremental Auctions—The Base Residual Auction is conducted annually three years in advance of the operating period. Power expects to realize the following average capacity prices for capacity obligations to be satisfied resulting from the base and incremental auctions which have been completed:

| Delivery Year |  | $ per MW-Day |  | MW Cleared |
| June 2018 to May 2019 |  | $205 |  | 9,200 |  |

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Power recognized total Depreciation and Amortization of $390 million and $964 million, respectively, for the Hudson and Mercer units to reflect the significant shortening of their expected economic useful lives in 2017. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Power recognized pre-tax charges (credits) in Energy Costs of $(1) million and $3 million, respectively, primarily for coal inventory lower of cost or market adjustments. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Power recognized pre-tax charges of the same nature in Energy Costs of $2 million and $9 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Power also recognized pre-tax charges in O&M of $4 million of shut down costs and a net increase in the Asset Retirement Obligation liability due to settlements and changes in cash flow estimates, partially offset by changes in employee-related severance costs. Power is exploring various opportunities with these sites, including using the sites for alternative industrial activity or the disposition of one or both of the sites. If Power determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early retirement of the units at such sites would trigger obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation. The amounts for any such environmental remediation are neither currently probable nor estimable but may be material.
PSEG and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations, to assess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives and their continued classification as held for use. The precise timing of a change in useful lives may be dependent upon events out of PSEG’s and Power’s control and may impact their ability to operate or maintain certain assets in the future. These generating stations may be impacted by factors such as environmental legislation, co-owner capital requirements and continued depressed wholesale power prices or capacity factors, among other things. Any early retirement or change in the held for use classification of our remaining coal units may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results.
Nuclear
Since 2013, several nuclear generating stations in the United States have closed or announced early retirement due to economic reasons, or have announced being at risk for early retirement. In February 2018, Exelon, a co-owner of the Salem units, announced its intention to accelerate the closure of its Oyster Creek nuclear plant located in New Jersey, one year earlier than previously planned for economic reasons. In addition, First Energy announced in March 2018 the early retirement of four nuclear units at the Davis-Besse, Perry Nuclear and Beaver Valley nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania by 2021. These closures and retirements are generally due to the decline in market prices of energy, resulting from low natural gas prices driven by the growth of shale gas production since 2007, the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities, both federal and state-level policies that provide financial incentives to construct renewable energy such as wind and solar and the failure to adequately compensate nuclear generating stations for the attributes they bring similar to renewable energy production. These trends have significantly reduced the revenues of nuclear generating stations while limiting their ability to reduce the unit cost of production. This may result in the electric generation industry experiencing a further shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet.
In the ordinary course, management, and in the case of the Salem units the co-owner, each makes a number of decisions that impact the operation of our nuclear units beyond the current year, including whether and to what extent these units participate in RPM capacity auctions, commitments relating to refueling outages and significant capital expenditures, and decisions regarding our hedging arrangements. When considering whether to make these future commitments, management’s decisions will primarily be influenced by the financial outlook of the units, including the progress, timing and continued outlook for selection of the units under the newly enacted legislation in the state of New Jersey. Power and Exelon have agreed to cancel the funding of future capital projects at the Salem generating station that are not required to meet NRC or other regulatory requirements or that are not required to ensure its safe operation. Power and Exelon have agreed to continue to assess and, when appropriate, approve the funding of individual capital projects to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the safe operation of the Salem generating station and that the funding of these projects may be restored if legislation enacted in New Jersey sufficiently values the attributes of nuclear generation and Salem benefits from such legislation.
If any or all of the Salem and Hope Creek units were shut down, it would significantly alter New Jersey’s energy supply predominately by increasing New Jersey’s reliance on natural gas generation. Such a decrease in fuel diversity could also increase the market’s vulnerability to price fluctuations and power disruptions in times of high demand. In May 2018, the governor of New Jersey signed legislation that would provide a safety net in order to prevent the loss of environmental attributes from selected nuclear generating stations referred to as the zero emissions certificate (ZEC) program. The legislation calls for the BPU (within a 330-day period from enactment) to establish a collection process for a customer charge, determine eligibility and certification of need, and ultimately select nuclear plants to potentially receive ZECs starting in April 2019. Power cannot predict whether our nuclear generating stations in New Jersey will be selected or whether the legislation will provide a sufficient safety net for the continued operation of nuclear generating stations in New Jersey.
If energy market prices continue to be depressed, there are adverse impacts from potential changes to the capacity market construct being considered by FERC, or the ZEC program does not adequately compensate our nuclear generating stations for

their attributes, Power anticipates it will no longer be covering its costs nor be adequately compensated for its market and operational risks at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear units and would anticipate retiring these units early. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated depreciation and amortization or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and additional funding of the NDT Fund would be material to both PSEG and Power.
The following table provides the balance sheet amounts by generating station as of June 30, 2018 for significant assets and liabilities associated with Power’s owned share of its nuclear assets.

The precise timing of any potential early retirement and resulting financial statement impact may be affected by a number of factors, including co-owner considerations, the results of any transmission system reliability study assessments and decommissioning trust fund requirements and other commitments, as well as future energy prices. Power maintains a NDT Fund that funds its decommissioning obligations. See Note 8. Trust Investments.
Note 5. Variable Interest Entity (VIE)
VIE for which PSEG LI is the Primary Beneficiary
PSEG LI consolidates Servco, a marginally capitalized VIE, which was created for the purpose of operating LIPA’s T&D system in Long Island, New York as well as providing administrative support functions to LIPA. PSEG LI is the primary beneficiary of Servco because it directs the operations of Servco, the activity that most significantly impacts Servco’s economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of Servco that could potentially be significant to Servco. Such losses would be immaterial to PSEG.
Pursuant to the OSA, Servco’s operating costs are reimbursable entirely by LIPA, and therefore, PSEG LI’s risk is limited related to the activities of Servco. PSEG LI has no current obligation to provide direct financial support to Servco. In addition to reimbursement of Servco’s operating costs as provided for in the OSA, PSEG LI receives an annual contract management fee. PSEG LI’s annual contractual management fee, in certain situations, could be partially offset by Servco’s annual storm costs not approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, limited contingent liabilities and penalties for failing to meet certain performance metrics.
For transactions in which Servco acts as principal and controls the services provided to LIPA, such as transactions with its employees for labor and labor-related activities, including pension and OPEB-related transactions, Servco records revenues and the related pass-through expenditures separately in Operating Revenues and O&M Expense, respectively. Servco recorded $109 million and $112 million for the three months and $229 million and $224 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and

2017, respectively, of O&M costs, the full reimbursement of which was reflected in Operating Revenues. For transactions in which Servco acts as an agent for LIPA, it records revenues and the related expenses on a net basis, resulting in no impact on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Note 6. Rate Filings
This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 6. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In addition to items previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant regulatory orders received and currently pending rate filings with FERC and the BPU by PSE&G are as follows:
Electric and Gas Distribution Base Rate Filing—In January 2018, PSE&G filed a distribution base rate case as required as a condition of approval of its Energy Strong Program I (ESP I) approved by the BPU in 2014. The filing requested an approximate 1% increase in revenues and recovery of investments made to strengthen the electric and gas distribution systems. The requested increase took into account a reduction in the revenue requirement as a result of the federal corporate income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act), including the flow-back to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes. In March 2018, the BPU approved interim rate reductions for all their jurisdictional utilities, including PSE&G, reflecting the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate. The BPU approved a reduction to PSE&G’s current base electric and gas revenues effective April 1, 2018 by $71 million and $43 million, respectively, on an annual basis (or about 2% combined). The refund to customers for overcollection of revenues at the higher tax rate for the January 1 to March 31, 2018 period, and the flow-back to customers of certain excess deferred income taxes will be addressed in PSE&G’s ongoing base rate case proceeding. In May 2018, PSE&G updated its base rate filing to include nine months of actual data. As a result of the base rate reduction implemented on April 1, 2018, among other factors, PSE&G’s updated filing requests an approximate 3% increase in revenues. PSE&G anticipates a decision by the BPU that new base rates will go into effect in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Transmission Formula Rate Filings—In January 2018, PSE&G filed with FERC a revised 2018 Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update reducing its 2018 transmission annual revenue requirement to reflect the federal corporate income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act. This change in the federal corporate tax rate reduces the 2018 annual revenue requirement by $148 million, effective January 1, 2018. FERC continues to assess whether, and if so how, it will address changes and flow-backs to customers relating to accumulated deferred income taxes and bonus depreciation.
In June 2018, PSE&G filed its 2017 true-up adjustment pertaining to its transmission formula rates in effect for 2017. This resulted in an adjustment of $27 million more than the 2017 originally filed revenues, the impact of which PSE&G had primarily recognized in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.
BGSS—In June 2018, PSE&G made its annual BGSS filing with the BPU requesting a decrease in the annual BGSS revenues of $26 million. If approved, the BGSS rate would be decreased from approximately 37 cents to 35 cents per therm for residential gas customers to be effective October 1, 2018. This matter is pending.
In April 2018, the BPU approved the final BGSS rates which were effective October 1, 2017.
In December 2017, February 2018 and March 2018, PSE&G filed with the BPU for self-implementing monthly bill credits of 15 cents per therm for the months of January through April 2018. Monthly bill credits of $125 million were credited to customers for the months of January through April 2018.
ESP I Recovery Filing—In March and September of each year, PSE&G files with the BPU for base rate recovery of ESP I investments which include a return of and on its investment.
In February 2018, the BPU approved recovery of an annual revenue requirement of $8 million associated with electric ESP I capital investment costs placed in service from June 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017.
Societal Benefits Charge—In February 2018, the BPU approved PSE&G’s petition to increase electric rates by approximately $20 million on an annual basis and to decrease gas rates by approximately $0.8 million on an annual basis, in order to recover electric and gas costs incurred through May 31, 2017 under its Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Social Programs. The new rates were effective April 1, 2018.
Weather Normalization Clause (WNC)—In April 2018, the BPU gave final approval to PSE&G’s petition to collect $55 million in net deficiency gas revenues as a result of the warmer than normal 2016-2017 Winter Period (October 1 through May 31), which resulted in a deficiency of $31 million, plus a carryover balance of $24 million from the 2015-2016 Winter Period.

Table of Contents
In June 2018, PSE&G filed its 2017-2018 WNC petition seeking a net recovery of $14 million to be collected over the 2018-2019 Winter Period. The $14 million net recovery is the result of $9 million of excess revenues from the colder-than- normal 2017-2018 Winter Period offset by $23 million of remaining prior Winter Period undercollection.
Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC)—In June 2018, PSE&G filed its 2018 GPRC cost recovery petition requesting recovery of approximately $65 million and $6 million in electric and gas revenues, respectively, on an annual basis. This matter is pending.
Gas System Modernization Program I (GSMP I)—In July 2018, PSE&G filed its annual GSMP I cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover in gas base rates an estimated annual revenue increase of $26 million effective January 1, 2019. This increase represents the return of and on investment for GSMP I investments expected to be in service through September 30, 2018. This request will be updated in October 2018 for actual costs.
Note 7. Financing Receivables
PSE&G
PSE&G sponsors a solar loan program designed to help finance the installation of solar power systems throughout its electric service area. Interest income on the loans is recorded on an accrual basis. The loans are generally paid back with solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) generated from the installed solar electric system. In the event of a loan default, the basis of the solar loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. None of the solar loans are impaired; however, in the event a loan becomes impaired, the basis of the loan would be recovered through a regulatory recovery mechanism. A substantial portion of these amounts are noncurrent and reported in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s and PSE&G’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table reflects the outstanding loans by class of customer, none of which are considered “non-performing.”

Energy Holdings
Energy Holdings, through several of its indirect subsidiary companies, has investments in domestic energy and real estate assets subject primarily to leveraged lease accounting. A leveraged lease is typically comprised of an investment by an equity investor and debt provided by a third-party debt investor. The debt is recourse only to the assets subject to lease and is not included on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As an equity investor, Energy Holdings’ equity investments in the leases are comprised of the total expected lease receivables over the lease terms plus the estimated residual values at the end of the lease terms, reduced for any income not yet earned on the leases. This amount is included in Long-Term Investments on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The more rapid depreciation of the leased property for tax purposes creates tax cash flow that will be repaid to the taxing authority in later periods. As such, the liability for such taxes due is recorded in Deferred Income Taxes on PSEG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the first quarter of 2017, due to continuing liquidity issues facing NRG REMA, LLC (REMA), economic challenges facing coal generation in PJM, and based upon an ongoing review of available alternatives as well as certain discussions with REMA management, Energy Holdings recorded a $55 million pre-tax charge for its current best estimate of loss related to the lease receivables. Additional pre-tax charges of $22 million (including $7 million related to residual value impairment) were recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Subject to the terms of the Credit Support Forbearance and Rent Payment Forbearance described below, lease payments and adjustments to qualifying credit support on the REMA leases are due semiannually in January and July of each year.

B ased on an ongoing review of (i) the liquidity challenges facing REMA and (ii) available alternatives, Energy Holdings recorded an additional $20 million pre-tax charge in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 for its current best estimate of loss related to lease receivables. Pre-tax charges were reflected in Operating Revenues in the first half of 2018 and 2017 and are included in Gross Investment in Leases as of June 30, 2018.
Certain subsidiaries of Energy Holdings, REMA, certain holders of the pass-through certificates and other parties have entered into a forbearance agreement (Credit Support Forbearance) relating to REMA’s obligation to procure additional qualifying credit support for the Conemaugh facility. In addition, certain subsidiaries of Energy Holdings, REMA, certain holders of the pass-through certificates and other parties have entered into forbearance agreements (Rent Payment Forbearance) relating to the Keystone, Conemaugh and Shawville facilities. The parties to the Rent Payment Forbearance have agreed to permit REMA to enter into agreements with third parties relating to certain energy management, operation and maintenance and other services and have agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising rights and remedies related to certain events of default relating to certain periodic lease rent payments required to be made by REMA in July 2018.
The Credit Support Forbearance will remain effective until the earlier of (i) two weeks following the date on which Energy Holdings subsidiaries, REMA and/or the consenting certificate holders provide written notice to REMA of its intention to terminate the Forbearance, and (ii) the date on which any event of termination as specified in the Credit Support Forbearance occurs. The Rent Payment Forbearance for each facility will remain effective until the earlier of (i) August 17, 2018 and (ii) the date on which any of the following events occur: (a) a new event of default occurs and is continuing under the operative documents governing the respective facilities; (b) REMA commences a case under title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or (c) REMA terminates discussions with Energy Holdings and/or the consenting pass-through certificate holders regarding a potential restructuring by REMA.
PSEG cannot predict the outcome of GenOn’s restructuring process or the possible related impact on REMA. PSEG continues to monitor any changes to REMA’s and GenOn’s status and potential impacts on Energy Holdings’ lease investments. If lease rejections or foreclosures were to occur, Energy Holdings could potentially record additional pre-tax write-offs up to its gross investment in these facilities and may also be required to accelerate and pay material deferred tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Also, if energy markets continue to deteriorate, it is possible that additional write-downs, including residual value impairment, could occur.
The following table shows Energy Holdings’ gross and net lease investment as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

(A) | GenOn and certain of its subsidiaries (which did not include REMA) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. GenOn is currently engaged in a balance sheet restructuring, which will take an undetermined time to complete. Certain subsidiaries of Energy Holdings, REMA, consenting holders of the pass-through certificates and other parties have entered into a Credit Support Forbearance relating to the Conemaugh facility and the Rent Payment Forbearance relating to the Keystone, Conemaugh and Shawville facilities, as described above.

The credit exposure for lessors is partially mitigated through various credit enhancement mechanisms within the lease structures. These credit enhancement features vary from lease to lease. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults, indirect subsidiary companies of Energy Holdings would exercise their rights and seek recovery of their investment, potentially including stepping into the lease directly to protect their investments. While these actions could ultimately protect or mitigate the loss of value, they could require the use of significant capital and trigger certain material tax obligations which could wholly or partially be mitigated by tax indemnification claims against the counterparty. A bankruptcy of a lessee would likely delay and potentially limit any efforts on the part of the lessors to assert their rights upon default and could delay the monetization of claims. Failure to recover adequate value could ultimately lead to a foreclosure on the assets under lease by the lenders.
Additional factors that may impact future lease cash flows include, but are not limited to, new environmental legislation and regulation regarding air quality, water and other discharges in the process of generating electricity, market prices for fuel, electricity and capacity, overall financial condition of lease counterparties and their affiliates and the quality and condition of assets under lease.

(A) | Equity Securities—Investments in marketable equity securities within the NDT Fund are primarily in common stocks within a broad range of industries and sectors. Effective January 1, 2018, unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recorded in Net Income.

(B) | Debt Securities (Government)—Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The unrealized losses on Power’s NDT investments in U.S. Treasury obligations and Federal Agency mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. These investments are guaranteed by the U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government. Power also has investments in municipal bonds that are primarily in investment grade securities. It is not expected that these securities will settle for less than their amortized cost. Since Power does not intend to sell these securities nor will it be more-likely-than-not required to sell, Power does not consider these debt securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2018.

(C) | Debt Securities (Corporate)—Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Power’s investments in corporate bonds are primarily in investment grade securities. It is not expected that these securities would settle for less than their amortized cost. Since Power does not intend to sell these securities nor will it be more-likely-than-not required to sell, Power does not consider these debt securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2018.

Power periodically assesses individual debt securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost to determine whether the investments are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For these securities, management considers its intent to sell or requirement to sell a security prior to expected recovery. In those cases where a sale is expected, any impairment would be recorded through earnings. For fixed income securities where there is no intent to sell or likely requirement to sell, management evaluates whether credit loss is a component of the impairment. If so, that portion is recorded through earnings while the noncredit loss component is recorded through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Any subsequent recoveries in the value of these securities would be recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) unless the securities are sold, in which case, any gain would be recognized in income. The assessment of fair market value compared to cost is applied on a weighted average basis taking into account various purchase dates and initial cost of the securities.
Rabbi Trust
PSEG maintains certain unfunded nonqualified benefit plans to provide supplemental retirement and deferred compensation benefits to certain key employees. Certain assets related to these plans have been set aside in a grantor trust commonly known as a “Rabbi Trust.”

Guaranteed Obligations
Power’s activities primarily involve the purchase and sale of energy and related products under transportation, physical, financial and forward contracts at fixed and variable prices. These transactions are with numerous counterparties and brokers that may require cash, cash-related instruments or guarantees as a form of collateral.
Power has unconditionally guaranteed payments to counterparties by its subsidiaries in commodity-related transactions in order to

• | support current exposure, interest and other costs on sums due and payable in the ordinary course of business, and

• | obtain credit.

Power is subject to

• | counterparty collateral calls related to commodity contracts, and

• | certain creditworthiness standards as guarantor under performance guarantees of its subsidiaries.

Under these agreements, guarantees cover lines of credit between entities and are often reciprocal in nature. The exposure between counterparties can move in either direction.
In order for Power to incur a liability for the face value of the outstanding guarantees, its subsidiaries would have to

• | fully utilize the credit granted to them by every counterparty to whom Power has provided a guarantee, and

• | the net position of the related contracts would have to be “out-of-the-money” (if the contracts are terminated, Power would owe money to the counterparties).

Power believes the probability of this result is unlikely. For this reason, Power believes that the current exposure at any point in time is a more meaningful representation of the potential liability under these guarantees. Current exposure consists of the net of accounts receivable and accounts payable and the forward value on open positions, less any collateral posted.
Changes in commodity prices can have a material impact on collateral requirements under such contracts, which are posted and received primarily in the form of cash and letters of credit. Power also routinely enters into futures and options transactions for electricity and natural gas as part of its operations. These futures contracts usually require a cash margin deposit with brokers, which can change based on market movement and in accordance with exchange rules.
In addition to the guarantees discussed above, Power has also provided payment guarantees to third parties on behalf of its affiliated companies. These guarantees support various other non-commodity related contractual obligations.

As part of determining credit exposure, Power nets receivables and payables with the corresponding net fair values of energy contracts. See Note 12. Financial Risk Management Activities for further discussion. In accordance with PSEG’s accounting policy, where it is applicable, cash (received)/deposited is allocated against derivative asset and liability positions with the same counterparty on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining balances of net cash (received)/deposited after allocation are generally included in Accounts Payable and Receivable, respectively.
In addition to amounts for outstanding guarantees, current exposure and margin positions, PSEG and Power have posted letters of credit to support Power’s various other non-energy contractual and environmental obligations. See preceding table.
Environmental Matters
Passaic River
Historic operations of PSEG companies and the operations of hundreds of other companies along the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers are alleged by Federal and State agencies to have discharged substantial contamination into the Passaic River/Newark Bay Complex in violation of various statutes as discussed as follows.
Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a 17-mile stretch of the lower Passaic River from Newark to Clifton, New Jersey is a “Superfund” site under CERCLA and a comprehensive study of the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River needed to be performed. PSE&G and certain of its predecessors conducted operations at properties in this area of the Passaic River. The properties included one operating electric generating station (Essex Site), which was transferred to Power, one former generating station and four former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites.
In early 2007, certain Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), including PSE&G and Power, formed a Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and agreed to assume responsibility for conducting a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) of the 17 miles of the lower Passaic River. The CPG has agreed to allocate, on an interim basis, the associated costs of the RI/FS among its members on the basis of a mutually agreed upon formula. For the purpose of this interim allocation, which has been revised as parties have exited the CPG, approximately 7.6 percent of the RI/FS costs are currently deemed attributable to PSE&G’s former MGP sites and approximately 1.9 percent is attributable to Power’s generating stations. These interim allocations are not binding on PSE&G or Power in terms of their respective shares of the costs that will be ultimately required to remediate the 17 miles of the lower Passaic River. PSEG has provided notice to insurers concerning this potential claim. Certain PRPs are currently involved in discussions with the EPA regarding cost allocations and related indemnification matters. We cannot predict the outcome of these discussions, or whether individual PRPs will be able to meet their obligations, either of which could have a material impact on PSE&G’s and Power’s allocation of costs.
39

(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents
The CPG’s draft FS set forth various alternatives for remediating the lower Passaic River with an estimated cost to remediate the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River ranging from approximately $518 million to $3.2 billion on an undiscounted basis.
In March 2016, the EPA released its Record of Decision (ROD) for the EPA’s own Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) which requires the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Passaic River’s lower 8.3 miles at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion on an undiscounted basis (ROD Remedy). The EPA estimated the total project length to be about 11 years, including a one year period of negotiation with the PRPs, three to four years to design the project and six years for implementation. Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC), one of the PRPs, has commenced performance of the remedial design required by the ROD Remedy, reserving its right of cost contribution from all other PRPs.
In September 2017, the EPA concluded that an Agency-commenced allocation process for the Passaic River’s lower 8.3 miles should include only certain PRPs. The allocation is intended to lead to a consent decree in which certain of the PRPs agree to perform and pay for the remedial action under EPA oversight. The allocation process has commenced and is scheduled to be completed in late 2019. Conversations between the EPA and the PRPs regarding remediation of the Passaic River’s upper 9 miles are ongoing.
In a separate matter, two PRPs, Tierra Solutions, Inc. (Tierra) and Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware Federal Bankruptcy Court. In June 2018, the trust representing the creditors in this proceeding filed a complaint asserting claims against the current and former parent entities of Tierra and Maxus, among other parties, for up to $14 billion. Any damages awarded may be used to fund, in part, the remediation costs of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River. The creditor trust has reserved its right to file contribution claims against 28 PRPs, including PSEG. This matter is ongoing.
In June 2018, OCC filed a complaint in Federal District Court in Newark against various defendants, including PSE&G, seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA for the remediation of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River. The complaint does not quantify damages sought.
The Complaint alleges that “no single hazardous substance” is to blame for the contamination of the lower Passaic River and lists the eight Contaminants of Concern (COCs) identified by the EPA in the ROD. OCC alleges PSE&G is responsible for a portion of six of the eight COCs. PSE&G cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Based upon the estimated cost of the ROD Remedy and PSEG’s estimate of PSE&G’s and Power’s shares of that cost, as of June 30, 2018, PSEG has accrued approximately $57 million. Of this amount, PSE&G has accrued $46 million as an Environmental Costs Liability and a corresponding Regulatory Asset based on its continued ability to recover such costs in its rates. Power has accrued $11 million as an Other Noncurrent Liability with the corresponding O&M Expense recorded in prior years when the liability was accrued.
The EPA has broad authority to implement its selected remedy through the ROD and PSEG cannot at this time predict how the implementation of the ROD might impact PSE&G’s and Power’s ultimate liability. Until (i) the RI/FS, which covers the entire 17 miles of the lower Passaic River, is finalized either in whole or in part, (ii) an agreement by the PRPs to perform either the ROD Remedy as issued, or an amended ROD Remedy determined through negotiation or litigation, and an agreed upon remedy for the remaining 8.7 miles of the river, are reached, (iii) PSE&G’s and Power’s respective shares of the costs, both in the aggregate as well as individually, are determined, and (iv) PSE&G’s continued ability to recover the costs in its rates is determined, it is not possible to predict this matter’s ultimate impact on PSEG’s financial statements. It is possible that PSE&G and Power will record additional costs beyond what they have accrued, and that such costs could be material, but PSEG cannot at the current time estimate the amount or range of any additional costs.
Natural Resource Damage Claims
In 2003, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) directed PSEG, PSE&G and 56 other PRPs to arrange for a natural resource damage assessment and interim compensatory restoration of natural resource injuries along the lower Passaic River and its tributaries pursuant to the New Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act. The NJDEP alleged that hazardous substances had been discharged from the Essex Site and the Harrison Site. The NJDEP estimated the cost of interim natural resource injury restoration activities along the lower Passaic River at approximately $950 million. In 2007, agencies of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of the Interior (the Passaic River federal trustees) sent letters to PSE&G and other PRPs inviting participation in an assessment of injuries to natural resources that the agencies intended to perform. In 2008, PSEG and a number of other PRPs agreed to share certain immaterial costs the trustees have incurred and will incur going forward, and to work with the trustees to explore whether some or all of the trustees’ claims can be resolved in a cooperative fashion. That effort is continuing. PSE&G and Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of the possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
Newark Bay Study Area
The EPA has established the Newark Bay Study Area, which it defines as Newark Bay and portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull. In August 2006, the EPA sent PSEG and 11 other entities notices that it considered each
40

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents
of the entities to be a PRP with respect to contamination in the Study Area. The notice letter requested that the PRPs fund an EPA-approved study in the Newark Bay Study Area. The notice stated the EPA’s belief that hazardous substances were released from sites owned by PSEG companies and located on the Hackensack River, including two electric generating stations (Hudson and Kearny sites) and one former MGP site. PSEG has participated in and partially funded the second phase of this study. Notices to fund the next phase of the study have been received but PSEG has not consented to fund the third phase. PSE&G and Power are unable to estimate their respective portions of the possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.
MGP Remediation Program
PSE&G is working with the NJDEP to assess, investigate and remediate environmental conditions at its former MGP sites. To date, 38 sites requiring some level of remedial action have been identified. Based on its current studies, PSE&G has determined that the estimated cost to remediate all MGP sites to completion could range between $332 million and $378 million on an undiscounted basis through 2021, including its $46 million share for the Passaic River as discussed above. Since no amount within the range is considered to be most likely, PSE&G has recorded a liability of $332 million as of June 30, 2018. Of this amount, $79 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $253 million was reflected as Environmental Costs in Noncurrent Liabilities. PSE&G has recorded a $332 million Regulatory Asset with respect to these costs. PSE&G periodically updates its studies taking into account any new regulations or new information which could impact future remediation costs and adjusts its recorded liability accordingly. NJDEP, PSEG and EPA representatives have had discussions regarding to what extent sampling in the Passaic River is required to delineate coal tar from MGP sites that abut the Passaic River Superfund site. PSEG cannot determine at this time whether this will have an impact on the Passaic River Superfund remedy.
Clean Water Act (CWA) Permit Renewals
Pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits expire within five years of their effective date. In order to renew these permits, but allow a plant to continue to operate, an owner or operator must file a permit application no later than six months prior to expiration of the permit. States with delegated federal authority for this program manage these permits. The NJDEP manages the permits under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) program. Connecticut and New York also have permits to manage their respective pollutant discharge elimination system programs.
In May 2014, the EPA issued a final cooling water intake rule that establishes requirements for the regulation of cooling water intakes at existing power plants and industrial facilities with a design flow of more than two million gallons of water per day.
The EPA has structured the rule so that each state Permitting Director will continue to consider renewal permits for existing power facilities on a case by case basis, based on studies related to impingement mortality and entrainment by the facilities seeking renewal permits.
Several environmental organizations and certain energy industry groups have filed suit under the CWA and the Endangered Species Act. The cases were consolidated at the Second Circuit, and in July 2018 the Second Circuit upheld the EPA’s final cooling water intake rule. The Court’s decision allows Permitting Directors to continue to issue permits in accordance with the flexible, site-specific provisions of the final rule.
In June 2016, the NJDEP issued a final NJPDES permit for Salem. The final permit does not mandate specific service water system modifications, but consistent with Section 316 (b) of the CWA, it requires additional studies and the selection of technology to address impingement for the service water system. In July 2016, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network (Riverkeeper) filed a request challenging the NJDEP’s issuance of the final NJPDES renewal permit for Salem. NJDEP has granted the hearing request, but it has not yet been scheduled. The Riverkeeper’s filing does not change the effective date of the permit. If the Riverkeeper’s challenge were successful, Power may be required to incur additional costs to comply with the CWA. Potential cooling water system modification costs could be material and could adversely impact the economic competitiveness of this facility.
State permitting decisions at Bridgeport and possibly New Haven could also have a material impact on Power’s ability to renew permits at its existing larger once-through cooled plants without making significant upgrades to existing intakes and cooling systems.
Power is unable to predict the outcome of these permitting decisions and the effect, if any, that they may have on Power’s future capital requirements, financial condition or results of operations.
Power is actively engaged with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) regarding renewal of the current permit for the cooling water intake structure at BH3. To address compliance with the EPA’s CWA Section 316(b) final rule, Power has proposed to continue to operate BH3 without making the capital expenditures for modification to the existing intake structure and retire BH3 in 2021, which is four years earlier than the previously estimated useful life ending in 2025. Power is currently awaiting action by the CTDEEP to issue a draft and then a final permit.
Power has entered into a Community Environmental Benefit Agreement (CEBA) with the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and local community organizations. That CEBA provides that Power would retire BH3 early if all of its conditions precedent occur,
41

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents
which include receipt of all final permits to build and operate a proposed new combined cycle generating facility on the same site that BH3 currently operates. Absent those conditions being met, and the permit for the cooling water intake structure referred to above not being issued, Power may seek to operate BH3 through the previously estimated useful life.
In February 2016, the proposed new generating facility at Bridgeport Harbor was awarded a capacity obligation. The Connecticut Siting Council issued an order to approve siting Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 5 (BH5). All major environmental permits have been received; however, secondary approvals are still being obtained to allow operations to begin in mid-2019. Power’s obligations under the CEBA are being monitored regularly and carried out as needed.
Bridgeport Harbor National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Compliance
In April 2015, Power determined that monitoring and reporting practices related to certain permitted wastewater discharges at its Bridgeport Harbor station may have violated conditions of the station’s NPDES permit and applicable regulations and could subject it to fines and penalties. Power has notified the CTDEEP of the issues and has taken actions to investigate and resolve the potential non-compliance. Power cannot predict the impact of this matter.
Jersey City, New Jersey Subsurface Feeder Cable Matter
In October 2016, a discharge of dielectric fluid from subsurface feeder cables located in the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, was identified and reported to the NJDEP. The feeder cables are located within a subsurface easement granted to PSE&G by the property owners, Newport Associates Development Company (NADC) and Newport Associates Phase I Developer Limited Partnership. The feeder cables are subject to agreements between PSE&G and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) and are jointly owned by PSE&G and Con Edison, with PSE&G owning the portion of the cables located in New Jersey and Con Edison owning the portion of the cables located in New York. The NJDEP declared an emergency and an emergency response action was undertaken to investigate, contain, remediate and stop the fluid discharge; to assess, repair and restore the cables to good working order, if feasible; and to restore the property. The regulatory agencies overseeing the emergency response, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the NJDEP and the Army Corps of Engineers, have issued multiple notices, orders and directives to the various parties related to this matter and the parties may also be subject to the assessment of civil penalties related to the discharge and response. The U.S. Coast Guard transitioned control of the federal response to the EPA in May 2018. As part of this transition, the U.S. Coast Guard rescinded its Administrative Order to PSE&G related to this matter.
The impacted cable was repaired in late September 2017; however, small amounts of residual dielectric fluid believed to be contained within the marina sediment continue to appear on the surface and response actions related to the fluid discharge are ongoing, although at a significantly reduced scale. PSE&G remains concerned about future leaks and potential environmental impacts as a result of reintroduction of fluid back into these lines and has determined that retirement of the affected facilities is appropriate. PSE&G has been unable to reach an agreement with Con Edison and, as a result, in May 2018, PSE&G filed an action at FERC to resolve the matter. Also ongoing is the process to determine ultimate responsibility for the costs to address the leak among PSE&G, Con Edison and NADC, including an action filed by PSE&G in federal court in New Jersey seeking damages from NADC. In that action, NADC has also pursued counterclaims against PSE&G and Con Edison seeking damages for its costs to address the leak. Based on the information currently available and depending on the outcome of the federal court action, PSE&G’s portion of the costs to address the leak may be material; however, PSE&G anticipates that it will recover these costs through regulatory proceedings.
Steam Electric Effluent Guidelines
In September 2015, the EPA issued a new Effluent Limitation Guidelines Rule (ELG Rule) for steam electric generating units. The rule establishes new best available technology economically achievable (BAT) standards for fly ash transport water, bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization and flue gas mercury control wastewater. Power’s Bridgeport Harbor station and the jointly-owned Keystone and Conemaugh stations, have bottom ash transport water discharges that are regulated under the ELG Rule. Keystone and Conemaugh also have flue gas desulfurization wastewaters regulated by the ELG Rule.
Through various orders, the EPA has stayed the compliance dates in the ELG Rule and has announced plans to further revise the requirements and compliance dates of the ELG Rule. Power is unable to determine how this will ultimately impact its compliance requirements or its financial condition and results of operations.
Basic Generation Service (BGS) and Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS)
PSE&G obtains its electric supply requirements through the annual New Jersey BGS auctions for two categories of customers who choose not to purchase electric supply from third party suppliers. The first category, which represents about 80% of PSE&G’s load requirement, is residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers (BGS-Residential Small Commercial Pricing (RSCP)). The second category is larger customers that exceed a BPU-established load (kW) threshold (BGS-Commercial and Industrial Energy Pricing (CIEP)). Pursuant to applicable BPU rules, PSE&G enters into the Supplier Master Agreement with the winners of these BGS auctions following the BPU’s approval of the auction results. PSE&G has entered into contracts with winning BGS suppliers, including Power, to purchase BGS for PSE&G’s load requirements. The
42

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents
winners of the auction (including Power) are responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of a PJM Load Serving Entity including the provision of capacity, energy, ancillary services, transmission and any other services required by PJM. BGS suppliers assume all volume risk and customer migration risk and must satisfy New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards.
The BGS-CIEP auction is for a one-year supply period from June 1 to May 31 with the BGS-CIEP auction price measured in dollars per MW-day for capacity. The final price for the BGS-CIEP auction year commencing June 1, 2018 is $287.76 per MW-day, replacing the BGS-CIEP auction year price ending May 31, 2018 of $276.83 per MW-day. Energy for BGS-CIEP is priced at hourly PJM locational marginal prices for the contract period.
PSE&G contracts for its anticipated BGS-RSCP load on a three-year rolling basis, whereby each year one-third of the load is procured for a three-year period. The contract prices in dollars per MWh for the BGS-RSCP supply, as well as the approximate load, are as follows:

|  | Auction Year |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  |
| 36-Month Terms Ending | May 2018 |  |  | May 2019 |  |  | May 2020 |  |  | May 2021 |  | (A) |
| Load (MW) | 2,900 |  |  | 2,800 |  |  | 2,800 |  |  | 2,900 |  |  |
| $ per MWh | $99.54 |  | $96.38 |  | $90.78 |  | $91.77 |  |

(A) | Prices set in the 2018 BGS auction year became effective on June 1, 2018 when the 2015 BGS auction agreements expired.

Power seeks to mitigate volatility in its results by contracting in advance for the sale of most of its anticipated electric output as well as its anticipated fuel needs. As part of its objective, Power has entered into contracts to directly supply PSE&G and other New Jersey electric distribution companies (EDCs) with a portion of their respective BGS requirements through the New Jersey BGS auction process, described above.
PSE&G has a full-requirements contract with Power to meet the gas supply requirements of PSE&G’s gas customers. Power has entered into hedges for a portion of these anticipated BGSS obligations, as permitted by the BPU. The BPU permits PSE&G to recover the cost of gas hedging up to 115 billion cubic feet or 80% of its residential gas supply annual requirements through the BGSS tariff. Current plans call for Power to hedge on behalf of PSE&G approximately 70 billion cubic feet or 50% of its residential gas supply annual requirements. For additional information, see Note 19. Related-Party Transactions.
Minimum Fuel Purchase Requirements
Power’s nuclear fuel strategy is to maintain certain levels of uranium and to make periodic purchases to support such levels. As such, the commitments referred to in the following table may include estimated quantities to be purchased that deviate from contractual nominal quantities. Power’s nuclear fuel commitments cover approximately 100% of its estimated uranium, enrichment and fabrication requirements through 2020 and a significant portion through 2022 at Salem, Hope Creek and Peach Bottom.
Power has various multi-year contracts for natural gas and firm transportation and storage capacity for natural gas that are primarily used to meet its obligations to PSE&G. When there is excess delivery capacity available beyond the needs of PSE&G’s customers, Power can use the gas to supply its fossil generating stations in New Jersey.
Power also has various long-term fuel purchase commitments for coal through 2021 to support its fossil generation stations.
As of June 30, 2018, the total minimum purchase requirements included in these commitments were as follows:

| Fuel Type |  | Power's Share of Commitments through 2022 |
|  |  | Millions |
| Nuclear Fuel |  |  |
| Uranium |  | $ | 244 |  |
| Enrichment |  | $ | 345 |  |
| Fabrication |  | $ | 161 |  |
| Natural Gas |  | $ | 990 |  |
| Coal |  | $ | 278 |  |

Litigation
Sewaren 7 Construction
In June 2018, a complaint was filed in federal court in Newark against PSEG Fossil, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Power, regarding an ongoing dispute with Durr Mechanical Construction, Inc. (Durr), a contractor on the Sewaren 7 project. Among other things, Durr seeks damages of $93 million and alleges that Power withheld money owed to Durr and that Power’s intentional conduct led to the inability of Durr to obtain prospective contracts. Power intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. Based upon the preliminary nature of this matter, a loss is not considered probable nor is the amount of loss, if any, estimable as of June 30, 2018.
Newark Customer Incident
On the morning of July 5, 2018, PSE&G discontinued electricity to the home of a customer residing in Newark because of outstanding arrears on that customer’s account. Subsequent to the discontinuation of electricity, that customer died on the afternoon of July 5th. The family of the customer, who was on hospice care, has raised allegations in the media regarding PSE&G’s conduct surrounding the discontinuation and restoration of electricity to the home of the customer, claiming that the discontinuation of electric service prevented the customer from using life sustaining medical equipment. The BPU has initiated an investigation into the matter. In addition, PSE&G received a grand jury subpoena from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office (ECPO) for records and correspondence between PSE&G and the customer. PSE&G is fully cooperating with the BPU and the ECPO in both proceedings. The PSEG Board of Directors retained outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation of the facts surrounding this incident with the full support and cooperation of management. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Other Litigation and Legal Proceedings
PSEG and its subsidiaries are party to various lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters, PSEG, PSE&G and Power generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a liability is accrued when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. PSEG will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, other than the matters described herein, could have a material adverse effect on PSEG’s, PSE&G’s or Power’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond PSEG’s control, and the large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to PSEG’s, PSE&G’s or Power’s results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.

Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of Power, primarily with cash and through the issuance of commercial paper. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
The commitments under the $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of June 30, 2018, the total available credit capacity was $3.7 billion.
As of June 30, 2018, no single institution represented more than 8% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of June 30, 2018, total credit capacity was in excess of the total anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon.
Each of the credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed in the following table; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support its subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.

Note 12. 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, Power and PSE&G have applied the NPNS scope exception to certain derivative contracts for the forward sale of generation, power procurement agreements and fuel agreements. PSEG uses interest rate swaps and other derivatives, which are designated and effective as cash flow or fair value hedges. Power and PSE&G enter 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.
Commodity Prices
Within PSEG and its affiliate companies, Power has the most exposure to commodity price risk. Power is exposed to commodity price risk primarily relating to changes in the market price of electricity, fossil fuels 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. 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 Power’s expected generation. Power also uses derivatives to hedge a portion of its anticipated BGSS obligations with PSE&G. For additional information see Note 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Changes in the fair market value of these derivative contracts are recorded in earnings.
Interest Rates
PSEG, Power and PSE&G 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. In addition, they have used a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swaps.
Fair Value Hedges
PSEG enters into fair value hedges to convert fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are fully offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying forecasted interest payments of the debt. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
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. PSEG interest rate hedges totaling $500 million were executed and terminated during the second quarter of 2018 and a loss of $(1) million was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) and will amortize to interest expense over the remaining life of Power’s $700 million of 3.85% Senior Notes due June 2023. For additional information see Note 11. Debt and Credit Facilities. There were no outstanding interest rate hedges as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (after tax) related to terminated interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $(1) million as of June 30, 2018 and was immaterial as of December 31, 2017. The after-tax unrealized losses on these hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months are immaterial.
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 Power and PSEG. For additional information see Note 13. Fair Value Measurements.

(A) | Substantially all of Power’s 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

(B) | Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral received or 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Power had net cash collateral/margin payments to counterparties of $122 million and $146 million, respectively. Of these net cash/collateral margin payments $(2) million as of June 30, 2018 and $44 million as December 31, 2017 were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(2) million as of June 30, 2018, $(1) million was netted against current assets, and $(1) million was netted against noncurrent assets. Of the $44 million as of December 31, 2017, $(3) million was netted against current assets, $28 million was netted against current liabilities, and $19 million was netted against noncurrent liabilities.

Table of Contents
Certain of Power’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require Power to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon 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 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 Power would represent a three level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s 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. 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 $11 million and $30 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Power had the contractual right of offset of $6 million and $13 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty under master agreements and net of margin posted. If Power had been downgraded to a below investment grade rating, it would have had additional collateral obligations of $5 million and $17 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 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 Power’s and PSEG’s financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
The following table provides information on Power’s credit risk from ER&T wholesale counterparties, net of collateral, as of June 30, 2018. It further delineates that exposure by the credit rating of the counterparties, which is determined by the lowest rating from S&P, Moody’s or an internal scoring model. In addition, it provides guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the quality of Power’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties.
As of June 30, 2018, 98% of the net credit exposure for Power’s operations was with investment grade counterparties. Credit exposure is defined as any positive results of netting accounts receivable/accounts payable and the forward value of open positions (which includes all financial instruments including derivatives, NPNS and non-derivatives).

(A) | Represents net exposure of $56 million with PSE&G and a non-affiliated counterparty of $18 million.

As of June 30, 2018, collateral held from counterparties where Power had credit exposure included $1 million in cash collateral and $12 million in letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2018, Power had 145 active counterparties.
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 guaranty 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 June 30, 2018, primarily all of the posted collateral was in the form of parental guarantees. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents PSE&G’s

net credit exposure. PSE&G’s BGS suppliers’ credit exposure is calculated each business day. As of June 30, 2018, PSE&G had no net credit exposure with suppliers, including Power.
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.
Note 13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance for fair value measurement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from independent sources and those based on an entity’s own assumptions. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement into three levels:
Level 1—measurements utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PSEG, PSE&G and Power have the ability to access. These consist primarily of listed equity securities and money market mutual funds, as well as natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX.
Level 2—measurements include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. These consist primarily of non-exchange traded derivatives such as forward contracts or options and most fixed income securities.
Level 3—measurements use unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities, based on the best information available and might include an entity’s own data and assumptions. In some valuations, the inputs used may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In these cases, the financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2018, these consisted primarily of certain electric load contracts and gas contracts.
Certain derivative transactions may transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 if inputs become unobservable and internal modeling techniques are employed to determine fair value. Conversely, measurements may transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 if the inputs become observable.
The following tables present information about PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and Power’s respective assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, including the fair value measurements and the levels of inputs used in determining those fair values. Amounts shown for PSEG include the amounts shown for PSE&G and Power.

(A) | Represents money market mutual funds.

(B) | Level 1—These contracts represent natural gas futures contracts executed on NYMEX, and are being valued solely on settled pricing inputs which come directly from the exchange.

Level 2—Fair values for energy-related contracts are obtained primarily using a market-based approach. Most derivative contracts (forward purchase or sale contracts and swaps) are valued using settled prices from similar assets and liabilities from an exchange, such as NYMEX, ICE and Nodal Exchange, or auction prices. Prices used in the valuation process are also corroborated independently by management to determine that values are based on actual transaction data or, in the absence of transactions, bid and offers for the day. Examples may include certain
52

(UNAUDITED)
Table of Contents
exchange and non-exchange traded capacity and electricity contracts and natural gas physical or swap contracts based on market prices, basis adjustments and other premiums where adjustments and premiums are not considered significant to the overall inputs.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs are used for the valuation of certain contracts. See “Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements” below for more information on the utilization of unobservable inputs.

(C) | As of June 30, 2018, the fair value measurement table excludes foreign currency of $1 million, which is part of the NDT Fund. The NDT Fund maintains investments in various equity and fixed income securities. The Rabbi Trust maintains investments in various fixed income securities and a Russell 3000 index fund. These securities are generally valued with prices that are either exchange provided (equity securities) or market transactions for comparable securities and/or broker quotes (fixed income securities).

Level 1—Investments in marketable equity securities within the NDT Fund are primarily investments in common stocks across a broad range of industries and sectors. Most equity securities are priced utilizing the principal market close price or, in some cases, midpoint, bid or ask price. Certain other equity securities in the NDT and Rabbi Trust Funds consist primarily of investments in Dreyfus money market funds which seek a high level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. To pursue its goals, the funds normally invest in diversified portfolios of high quality, short-term, dollar-denominated debt securities and government securities. The funds’ Net Asset Value is priced and published daily. The Rabbi Trust also has an equity index fund which is valued based on quoted prices in an active market.
Level 2—NDT and Rabbi Trust fixed income securities include investment grade corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and certain government and U.S. Treasury obligations or Federal Agency asset-backed securities and municipal bonds with a wide range of maturities. Since many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, they are priced using an evaluated pricing methodology that varies by asset class and reflects observable market information such as the most recent exchange price or quoted bid for similar securities. Market-based standard inputs typically include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads. The preferred stocks are not actively traded on a daily basis and therefore, are also priced using an evaluated pricing methodology. Certain short-term investments are valued using observable market prices or market parameters such as time-to-maturity, coupon rate, quality rating and current yield.

(D) | Represents the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty (where the right of offset exists) and the application of collateral. All cash collateral received or posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Power had net cash collateral/margin payments to counterparties of $122 million and $146 million, respectively. Of these net cash collateral/margin payments $(2) million as of June 30, 2018 and $44 million as of December 31, 2017 were netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. The $(2) million of cash collateral as of June 30, 2018 was netted against assets. Of the $44 million of cash collateral as of December 31, 2017, $(3) million was netted against assets and $47 million was netted against liabilities.

Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Measurements
For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations for contracts with tenors that extend into periods with no observable pricing. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 because the model inputs generally are not observable. PSEG’s Risk Management Committee (RMC) approves risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The RMC reports to the Corporate Governance and Audit Committees of the PSEG Board of Directors on the scope of the risk management activities and is responsible for approving all valuation procedures at PSEG. Forward price curves for the power market utilized by Power to manage the portfolio are maintained and reviewed by PSEG’s Enterprise Risk Management market pricing group and used for financial reporting purposes. PSEG considers credit and nonperformance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Levels 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data, in its assessment of credit and nonperformance risk by counterparty. The impacts of credit and nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements.
For PSE&G, the natural gas supply contract is measured at fair value using modeling techniques taking into account the current price of natural gas adjusted for appropriate risk factors, as applicable, and internal assumptions about transportation costs, and
53

accordingly, the fair value measurements are classified in Level 3. The fair value of Power’s electric load contracts in which load consumption may change hourly based on demand are measured using certain unobservable inputs, such as historic load variability and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of Power’s gas physical contracts at certain illiquid delivery locations are measured using average historical basis and, accordingly, are categorized as Level 3. While these gas physical contracts have an unobservable component in their respective forward price curves, the fluctuations in fair value have been driven primarily by changes in the observable inputs. The following tables provide details surrounding significant Level 3 valuations as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Significant unobservable inputs listed above would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above Level 3 instruments if they were adjusted. For energy-related contracts in cases where Power is a seller, an increase in the load variability would decrease the fair value. For gas-related contracts in cases where Power is a buyer, an increase in the average historical basis would increase the fair value.

(C) | Represents $1 million in settlements for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Represents settlements of $(3) million and $(25) million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

(D) | During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $(1) million of net derivatives were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

(E) | PSEG’s and Power’s gains(losses) attributable to changes in net derivative assets and liabilities for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 include $3 million and $17 million, respectively, in Operating Revenues and $4 million and $9 million, respectively, in Energy Costs. Of the $3 million and $17 million in Operating Revenues, $2 million and $(2) million, respectively, are unrealized. Of the $4 million and $9 million in Energy Costs, $2 million and $3 million are unrealized.

As of June 30, 2018, PSEG carried $2.3 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which $4 million of net assets were measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2017, PSEG carried $2.8 billion of net assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, of which $6 million of net assets were measured using unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair values were determined using the market quotations or values of instruments with similar terms, credit ratings, remaining maturities and redemptions as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

(A) | Includes floating rate term loan of $700 million. The fair values of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) approximate the carrying values because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly and the debt is redeemable at face value by PSEG at any time.

(B) | Given that these bonds do not trade actively, 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.

Note 15. Income Taxes
PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and Power’s effective tax rates for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  | June 30, |
|  | 2018 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2017 |
| PSEG | 26.5% |  | 35.1% |  | 26.6% |  | 28.3% |
| PSE&G | 25.7% |  | 37.2% |  | 26.4% |  | 36.7% |
| Power | 31.7% |  | 39.0% |  | 27.1% |  | 40.0% |

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in PSEG’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act offset by changes in uncertain tax positions, plant-related items and tax credits. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in PSEG’s effective tax rates as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to plant-related items and tax credits.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in PSE&G’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act, offset by changes in uncertain tax positions, plant-related and other flow-through items.

six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in PSE&G’s effective tax rate as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to plant-related items and tax credits.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in Power’s effective tax rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year were due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act, as well as changes in uncertain tax positions. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the differences in Power’s effective tax rates as compared to the statutory tax rate of 28.11% were due primarily to changes in uncertain tax positions and tax credits.
PSEG’s federal tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012 are currently being audited by the IRS. The audit and other related claims are reasonably expected to be completed within the next 12 months. As a result, it is reasonably possible that a decrease in PSEG’s total unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary in the range of $80 million to $150 million based on current estimates.
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation. The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that took effect in 2018, including, but not limited to (1) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%; (2) elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax; (3) a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (4) the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction; (5) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation; and (6) limitations on net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017, to 80% of taxable income. In addition, certain changes were made to the bonus depreciation rules that will impact 2018.
The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. PSEG, PSE&G and Power are subject to ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, PSEG, PSE&G and Power made reasonable, good faith estimates for which provisional amounts were recorded.
PSEG’s accounting for certain elements of the Tax Act is incomplete. However, PSEG recorded provisional adjustments for the following: the tax rules regarding the appropriate bonus depreciation rate that should be applied to assets placed in service after September 27, 2017 for Power and PSE&G, including the information required to compute the applicable depreciable tax basis, and the impact on PSEG’s, PSE&G’s and Power’s deferred taxes associated with FIN 48 reserves.
Further, the Tax Act is unclear in certain respects and will require interpretations and implementing regulations by the IRS, as well as state tax authorities. The Tax Act could also be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections which could impact PSEG, PSE&G and Power’s financial statements.
The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (2015 Tax Act), among other provisions, included an extension of the bonus depreciation rules and the 30% investment tax credit for qualified property placed into service after 2016. Qualified property that is placed into service from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017 is eligible for the 50% bonus depreciation. The provisions of the 2015 Tax Act have generated significant cash tax benefits for PSEG, PSE&G and Power through tax benefits related to the accelerated depreciation.
For the period beginning September 28, 2017, subject to the transition rules, the Tax Act modified the bonus depreciation rules of the 2015 Tax Act. Subject to further guidance, it is expected that Power is entitled to 100% expensing and bonus depreciation will no longer apply to PSE&G.
In July 2018, the State of New Jersey made significant changes to its income tax laws, including imposing a temporary surtax on allocated corporate taxable income of 2.5% effective January 1, 2018 and 2019 and 1.5% in 2020 and 2021, as well as requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. Both provisions include an exemption for public utilities. At this time, PSEG believes PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be impacted by the temporary surtax or be included in the combined reporting group. PSEG expects these new provisions to unfavorably affect its non-utility business as it continues to analyze this newly enacted law and the impact it will have on PSEG.

Note 17. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends
EPS
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding or vesting of restricted stock awards granted under PSEG’s stock compensation plans and upon payment of performance units or restricted stock units. The following table shows the effect of these stock options, performance units and restricted stock units on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted EPS:

(A) | Includes after-tax expenses of $229 million and $563 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily for accelerated depreciation related to the early retirement of Power’s Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation plants. See Item 1. Note 4. Early Plant Retirements for additional information.

(B) | Other includes after-tax activities at the parent company, PSEG LI, and Energy Holdings as well as intercompany eliminations. Energy Holdings recorded after-tax charges related to its investments in NRG REMA, LLC’s (REMA) leveraged leases of $14 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $13 million and $45 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. See Item 1. Note 7. Financing Receivables for additional information.

Power’s results above include the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) Fund activity and the impacts of non-trading commodity mark-to-market (MTM) activity, which consist of the financial impact from positions with future delivery dates.
The variances in our Net Income attributable to changes related to the NDT Fund and MTM are shown in the following table:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  | June 30, |
|  | 2018 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2017 |
|  | Millions, after tax |
| NDT Fund Income (Expense) (A) (B) | $ | 5 |  |  | $ | 14 |  |  | $ | (11 | ) |  | $ | 22 |  |
| Non-Trading MTM Gains (Losses) (C) | $ | (48 | ) |  | $ | 21 |  |  | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | 27 |  |

(A) | NDT Fund Income (Expense) includes gains and losses on NDT securities which are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments. See Item 1. Note 8. Trust Investments for additional information. NDT Fund Income (Expense) also includes interest and dividend income and other costs related to the NDT Fund recorded in Other Income (Deductions), interest accretion expense on Power’s nuclear Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) recorded in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Expense and the depreciation related to the ARO asset recorded in Depreciation and Amortization (D&A) Expense.

(B) | Net of tax (expense) benefit of $(4) million and $(16) million for the three months and $4 million and $(25) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(C) | Net of tax (expense) benefit of $19 million and $(15) million for the three months and $(14) million and $(19) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our $160 million increase in Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was driven largely by

• | accelerated depreciation in 2017 related to early retirement of our Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation units,

• | the favorable impact at Power from the lower federal tax rate effective January 1, 2018, and

• | higher earnings due to continued investment in transmission and distribution clause programs,

• | partially offset by MTM net losses in 2018 as compared to MTM net gains in 2017, and

71

Table of Contents

• | lower wholesale energy sales at Power in the PJM region.

Our $604 million increase in Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was driven largely by

• | accelerated depreciation in 2017 related to early retirement of our Hudson and Mercer coal/gas generation units,

• | the favorable impact at Power from the lower federal tax rate effective January 1, 2018,

• | higher earnings due to continued investment in transmission and distribution clause programs, and

• | lower charges in 2018 related to leveraged lease investments (see Item 1. Note 7. Financing Receivables),

• | partially offset by unrealized losses on equity securities in the NDT Fund in 2018 related to new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2018. (See Item 1. Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.)

During the first six months of 2018, we maintained a strong balance sheet. We continued to effectively deploy capital without the need to issue additional equity, while our solid credit ratings aided our ability to access capital and credit markets. The greater emphasis on capital spending for projects on which we receive contemporaneous returns at PSE&G, our regulated utility, in recent years has yielded strong results, which when combined with the cash flow generated by Power, our merchant generator and power marketer, has allowed us to increase our dividend. These actions to transition our business to meet market conditions and investor expectations reflect our multi-year, long-term approach to managing our company. Our focus has been to invest capital in T&D and other infrastructure projects aimed at maintaining service reliability for our customers and bolstering our system resiliency. At Power, we strive to improve performance and reduce costs in order to optimize cash flow generation from our fleet in light of low gas prices, environmental considerations and competitive market forces that reward efficiency and reliability.
At PSE&G, we continue to invest in T&D projects that focus on reliability improvements and replacement of aging infrastructure. Over the next five years, we expect to invest between $12 billion and $15.5 billion in our business which is expected to provide an annual rate base growth of 8%—10%. We are forecasting completion of our Energy Strong Program I (ESP I) and Gas System Modernization Program I (GSMP I) this year. We have received approval for the GSMP II, an expanded, five-year program totaling $1.9 billion that will start in 2019. In June 2018, we filed for our Energy Strong Program II (ESP II), a proposed five-year $2.5 billion program to harden, modernize and make our electric and gas distribution systems more resilient. We also expect to file our proposed Clean Energy Future program later this year, a six-year estimated $2.9 billion program focused on achieving New Jersey’s energy efficiency targets, as well as supporting electric vehicle infrastructure and battery storage initiatives. Over the past few years, these types of investments have altered our business mix to reflect a higher percentage of earnings contribution by PSE&G.
Power continues to move its fleet towards improved efficiency and fuel diversity. We believe that its investment program enhances our competitive position with the addition of efficient, clean, reliable combined cycle gas turbine capacity. Our commitments for load, such as basic generation service (BGS) in New Jersey and other bilateral supply contracts, are backed by this generation or may be combined with the use of physical commodity purchases and financial instruments from the market to optimize the economic efficiency of serving our obligations. Power’s hedging practices and ability to capitalize on market opportunities help it to balance some of the volatility of the merchant power business. More than half of Power’s expected gross margin in 2018 relates to our hedging strategy, our expected revenues from the capacity market mechanisms and certain ancillary service payments such as reactive power.
Our investments in Keys Energy Center (Keys), Sewaren 7 and Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 5 (BH5) reflect our recognition of the value of opportunistic growth in the Power business. These additions to our fleet both expand our geographic diversity and adjust our fuel mix and are expected to enhance the environmental profile and overall efficiency of Power’s generation fleet.
Regulatory, Legislative and Other Developments
In our pursuit of operational excellence, financial strength and disciplined investment, we closely monitor and engage with stakeholders on significant regulatory and legislative developments. Transmission planning rules and wholesale power market design are of particular importance to our results and we continue to advocate for policies and rules that promote fair and efficient electricity markets. For additional information about regulatory, legislative and other developments that may affect the company, see Part I, Item 1. Regulatory Issues in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 5. Other Information in our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2018 and this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents
Transmission Planning
There are several matters pending before FERC and the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that concern the allocation of costs associated with transmission projects being constructed by PSE&G. Regardless of how these proceedings are resolved, PSE&G’s ability to recover the costs of these projects will not be affected. However, the result of these proceedings could ultimately impact the amount of costs borne by customers in New Jersey. In addition, as a BGS supplier, Power provides services that include specified transmission costs. If the allocation of the costs associated with the transmission projects were to increase these BGS-related transmission costs, BGS suppliers would be entitled to recovery, subject to BPU approval. We do not believe that these matters will have a material effect on Power’s business or results of operations.
Several complaints have been filed and several remain pending at FERC against transmission owners around the country, challenging those transmission owners’ base return on equity (ROE). Certain of those complaints have resulted in decisions and others have been settled, resulting in reductions of those transmission owners’ base ROEs. The results of these other proceedings could set precedents for other transmission owners with formula rates in place, including PSE&G.
Wholesale Power Market Design
Capacity market design, including the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) in PJM, remains an important focus for us. During 2015, PJM implemented a new “Capacity Performance” (CP) mechanism that created a more robust capacity product with enhanced incentives for performance during emergency conditions and significant penalties for non-performance. The CP product was implemented fully in the May 2017 RPM auction for the 2020-2021 Delivery Year. Subsequent to its implementation, FERC approved changes to the CP construct that will enhance the participation of intermittent and demand response resources (seasonal resources). However, FERC held a technical conference in response to two complaints to consider the rules governing the participation of seasonal resources and extend the participation of the base resources for future auctions. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters.
In April 2018, PJM submitted two proposed alternative and mutually exclusive capacity market reforms for FERC’s approval. In June 2018, FERC issued an order finding that PJM’s current capacity market is unjust and unreasonable because it allows resources supported by out-of-market payments to suppress capacity prices. FERC established a new proceeding to address an alternative approach in which PJM would: (1) modify PJM’s Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) so that it would apply to new and existing resources that receive out-of-market payments, regardless of resource type; and (2) establish an option that would allow, on a resource-specific basis, resources receiving out-of-market support to be removed from the PJM capacity market, along with a commensurate amount of load, for some period of time. FERC’s potential action in this proceeding could cause nuclear units that receive ZEC payments to lose capacity market revenues if states do not take steps to address this potential loss of capacity revenues. In addition, depending on the outcome of this matter, our fossil generating stations could be adversely impacted. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
The PJM Board directed PJM staff to work with stakeholders to implement a series of price formation reforms, including a 30-minute reserve product in real-time, more dynamic reserve requirements to better capture operator actions taken to maintain reliability, and improvement to the curves used to price reserves during reserve shortage conditions. The PJM Board letter directs PJM staff to submit some of these reforms for FERC’s approval so that they can be implemented in early 2019. If placed into effect, these reforms should improve energy and reserve prices by ensuring that when operators commit resources to ensure reliability, the commitments are reflected in market clearing prices. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Distribution
The BPU has enacted Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) regulations that allow utilities to construct, install, or remediate utility plant and facilities related to reliability, resiliency, and/or safety to support the provision of safe and adequate service. Under these regulations, utilities can seek authority to make specified infrastructure investments in programs extending for up to five years with accelerated cost recovery mechanisms. The BPU characterized the IIP regulations as a regulatory initiative intended to create a financial incentive for utilities to accelerate the level of investment needed to promote the timely rehabilitation and replacement of certain non-revenue producing infrastructure that enhances reliability, resiliency, and/or safety.
In May 2018, the BPU approved a settlement regarding PSE&G’s GSMP II program, which is the next phase of our GSMP I. Under GSMP II, PSE&G expects to invest $1.9 billion over five years beginning in 2019 to replace approximately 875 miles of cast iron and unprotected steel mains in addition to other improvements to the gas system. Approximately $1.6 billion will be recovered through periodic rate roll-ins, with the remaining $300 million to be recovered through a future base rate case. As part of the settlement, PSE&G agreed to file a base rate case no later than five years from the commencement of the program, to maintain a base level of gas distribution capital expenditures of $155 million per year and to achieve certain leak reduction targets. The ROE and certain other elements for the program will be determined in the pending base rate case proceeding.
As previously disclosed, PSE&G’s ESP I, an investment program to harden and make the electric and gas distribution system more resilient, is expected to be completed during 2018. In June 2018, PSE&G filed its ESP II proposal with the BPU to invest
73

Table of Contents
an additional $2.5 billion over the next five years as an extension and expansion of its ESP I. The extension seeks to continue efforts to harden the electric system against storms and make it more resilient, to implement a more proactive life cycle replacement program to modernize the electric system and to make the gas system more reliable by mitigating the impacts of potential supply curtailments. The size and duration of ESP II, as well as PSE&G’s ROE and certain other elements of the program, are subject to BPU approval.
In January 2018, PSE&G filed a distribution base rate case as required as a condition of approval of its ESP I approved by the BPU in 2014. The filing requested an approximate 1% increase in revenues and recovery of investments made to strengthen the electric and gas distribution systems. The requested increase took into account a reduction in the revenue requirement as a result of the federal corporate income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% provided in the Tax Act, including the flow-back to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes. In March 2018, the BPU approved interim rate reductions for all their jurisdictional utilities, including PSE&G, reflecting the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate. The BPU approved a reduction to PSE&G’s base electric and gas revenues effective April 1, 2018 by $71 million and $43 million, respectively, on an annual basis (or about 2% combined). The refund to customers for overcollection of revenues at the higher tax rate for the January 1 to March 31, 2018 period, and the flow-back to customers of certain excess deferred income taxes will be addressed in PSE&G’s ongoing base rate case proceeding. As a result of the base rate reduction implemented on April 1, 2018, PSE&G’s requested revenue requirement in its filing has increased accordingly. In May 2018, PSE&G filed a required update to its base rate case, requesting an approximate three percent increase in revenues. PSE&G anticipates a decision by the BPU that the new base rates will go into effect in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Energy Efficiency
Consistent with New Jersey’s recently enacted energy efficiency legislation, which is more fully described under Part II, Item 5. Other Information, PSE&G has outlined a clean energy proposal to invest $2.9 billion over six years in energy efficiency and other programs that will reduce energy bills and combat climate change, which we refer to as our Clean Energy Future program. The program, which PSE&G expects to file with the BPU later this year, includes: $2.5 billion for energy efficiency to reduce customer bills and lower energy use, which will decrease air pollution, including emissions that accelerate climate change; $300 million for building a “smart” electric vehicle infrastructure; and $100 million for utility-scale energy storage systems that will enable greater development of renewable resources and enhance resiliency.
Environmental Regulation
We continue to advocate for the development and implementation of fair and reasonable rules by the EPA and state environmental regulators. In particular, section 316(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act requires that cooling water intake structures, which are a significant part of the generation of electricity at steam-electric generating stations, reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Implementation of Section 316(b) and related state regulations could adversely impact future nuclear and fossil operations and costs.
In March 2017, the President of the United States issued an Executive Order that instructed the EPA to review the New Source Performance Standards that establish emissions standards for CO 2 for certain new fossil power plants, and the Clean Power Plan (CPP), a greenhouse gas emissions regulation under the Clean Air Act for existing power plants that establishes state-specific emission rate targets based on implementation of the best system of emission reduction. In October 2017, the EPA Administrator signed a proposed repeal of the CPP. The EPA Administrator concluded that the CPP exceeds the EPA’s statutory authority by considering measures that are beyond the control of the owners of the affected sources (fossil fuel-fired electric generating units). The EPA is considering rulemaking to replace the CPP. PSEG cannot assess the impact of any such rulemaking on its business and future results of operations at this time.
We are subject to liability under environmental laws for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances that we generated. In particular, the historic operations of PSEG companies and the operations of numerous other companies along the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers are alleged by Federal and State agencies to have discharged substantial contamination into the Passaic River/Newark Bay Complex in violation of various statutes. We are also currently involved in a number of proceedings relating to sites where other hazardous substances may have been discharged and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future, and the costs of any such remediation efforts could be material.
For further information regarding the matters described above, as well as other matters that may impact our financial condition and results of operations, see Item 1. Note 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

Early Plant Retirements
Fossil
On June 1, 2017, Power completed its previously announced retirement of the generation operations of the existing coal/gas units at the Hudson and Mercer generating stations. The decision to retire the Hudson and Mercer units had a material effect on PSEG’s and Power’s results of operations in 2016 and continued to adversely impact their results of operations in 2017. As of June 1, 2017, Power completed recognition of the incremental D&A of $938 million ($964 million in total) due to the significant shortening of the expected economic useful lives of Hudson and Mercer. See Item 1. Note 4. Early Plant Retirements for additional information.
Power is exploring various opportunities with these sites, including using the sites for alternative industrial activity or the disposition of one or both of the sites. If Power determines not to use the sites for alternative industrial activity, the early retirement of the units at such sites would trigger obligations under certain environmental regulations, including possible remediation. The amounts for any such remediation are neither currently probable nor estimable but may be material.
In addition, PSEG and Power continue to monitor their other coal assets, including the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations, to assess their economic viability through the end of their designated useful lives and their continued classification as held for use. The precise timing of a change in useful lives may be dependent upon events out of PSEG’s and Power’s control and may impact their ability to operate or maintain certain assets in the future. These generating stations may be impacted by factors such as environmental legislation, co-owner capital requirements and continued depressed wholesale power prices or capacity factors, among other things. Any early retirement or change in the classification as held for use of our remaining coal units may have a material adverse impact on PSEG’s and Power’s future financial results.
Nuclear
Since 2013, several nuclear generating stations in the United States have closed or announced early retirement due to economic reasons, or have announced being at risk for early retirement. In February 2018, Exelon, a co-owner of the Salem units, announced its intention to accelerate the closure of its Oyster Creek nuclear plant located in New Jersey, one year earlier than previously planned for economic reasons. In addition, First Energy announced in March 2018 the early retirement of four nuclear units at the Davis-Besse, Perry Nuclear and Beaver Valley nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania by 2021. These closures and retirements are generally due to the decline in market prices of energy, resulting from low natural gas prices driven by the growth of shale gas production since 2007, the continuing cost of regulatory compliance and enhanced security for nuclear facilities, both federal and state-level policies that provide financial incentives to construct renewable energy such as wind and solar and the failure to adequately compensate nuclear generating stations for the attributes they bring similar to renewable energy production. These trends have significantly reduced the revenues of nuclear generating stations while limiting their ability to reduce the unit cost of production. This may result in the electric generation industry experiencing a further shift from nuclear generation to natural gas-fired generation, creating less diversity of the generation fleet.
In the ordinary course, management, and in the case of the Salem units the co-owner, each makes a number of decisions that impact the operation of our nuclear units beyond the current year, including whether and to what extent these units participate in RPM capacity auctions, commitments relating to refueling outages and significant capital expenditures, and decisions regarding our hedging arrangements. When considering whether to make these future commitments, management’s decisions will primarily be influenced by the financial outlook of the units, including the progress, timing and continued outlook for selection of the units under the newly enacted legislation in the state of New Jersey. Power and Exelon have agreed to cancel the funding of future capital projects at the Salem generating station that are not required to meet NRC or other regulatory requirements or that are not required to ensure its safe operation. Power and Exelon have agreed to continue to assess and, when appropriate, approve the funding of individual capital projects to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the safe operation of the Salem generating station and that the funding of these projects may be restored if legislation enacted in New Jersey sufficiently values the attributes of nuclear generation and Salem benefits from such legislation.
If any or all of the Salem and Hope Creek units were shut down, it would significantly alter New Jersey’s energy supply predominately by increasing New Jersey’s reliance on natural gas generation. Such a decrease in fuel diversity could also increase the market’s vulnerability to price fluctuations and power disruptions in times of high demand. In May 2018, the governor of New Jersey signed legislation that would provide a safety net in order to prevent the loss of environmental attributes from selected nuclear generating stations referred to as the zero emissions certificate (ZEC) program. The legislation calls for the BPU (within a 330-day period from enactment) to establish a collection process for a customer charge, determine eligibility and certification of need, and ultimately select nuclear plants to potentially receive ZECs starting in April 2019. Power cannot predict whether our nuclear generating stations in New Jersey will be selected or whether the legislation will provide a sufficient safety net for the continued operation of nuclear generating stations in New Jersey.
If energy market prices continue to be depressed, there are adverse impacts from potential changes to the capacity market construct being considered by FERC, or the ZEC program does not adequately compensate our nuclear generating stations for their attributes, Power anticipates it will no longer be covering its costs nor be adequately compensated for its market and

operational risks at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear units and would anticipate retiring these units early. The costs associated with any such retirement, which may include, among other things, accelerated depreciation and amortization or impairment charges, accelerated asset retirement costs, severance costs, environmental remediation costs and additional funding of the NDT Fund would be material to both PSEG and Power.
Leveraged Lease Impairments
GenOn Energy, Inc. (GenOn) and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on June 14, 2017. REMA was not included in the GenOn bankruptcy filing. GenOn is currently engaged in a balance sheet restructuring, which will take an undetermined time to complete. PSEG cannot predict the outcome of GenOn’s efforts to restructure its balance sheet and improve its liquidity.
PSEG continues to monitor any changes to REMA’s and GenOn’s status and potential impacts on Energy Holdings’ lease investments, which could include further write-downs of the values of Energy Holdings’ leveraged lease receivables, and continues to discuss the situation with various parties relevant to this matter. Based on an ongoing review of (i) the liquidity challenges facing REMA and (ii) available alternatives, Energy Holdings recorded a $20 million pre-tax charge in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 for its current best estimate of loss related to lease receivables. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 7. Financing Receivables. There can be no assurance that a continuation or worsening of the adverse economic conditions would not lead to additional write-downs at any of our other generation units in our leveraged lease portfolio, and such write-downs could be material.
Additional facilities in our leveraged lease portfolio include the Joliet and Powerton generating facilities. Converted natural gas units such as Shawville and Joliet may have higher operating costs and fuel consumption as well as longer start-up times compared to newer combined cycle gas units. Powerton is a coal-fired generating facility in Illinois. Each of these three facilities may not be as economically competitive as newer combined cycle gas units and could continue to be adversely impacted by the same economic conditions experienced by other less efficient natural gas and coal generation facilities, which could require Energy Holdings to write down the residual value of the leveraged lease receivables associated with these facilities.
Tax Legislation
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (Tax Act), which, among other things, decreased the statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, and made certain changes to bonus depreciation rules.
As a result of the enacted reduction in the statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate, as well as other aspects of the Tax Act, in December 2017 PSE&G recorded excess deferred taxes of approximately $2.1 billion and recorded an approximate $2.9 billion revenue impact of these excess deferred taxes as Regulatory Liabilities where it is probable that refunds will be made to customers in future rates. The amount and timing of any such refund cannot be determined at this time.
Beginning in 2018, PSEG, on a consolidated basis, is incurring lower income tax expense resulting in a decrease in its projected effective income tax rate. This has increased PSEG’s and Power’s net income. To the extent allowed under the Tax Act, Power’s operating cash flows will reflect the full expensing of capital investments for income tax purposes. PSEG and Power expect that the interest on their debt will continue to be fully tax deductible albeit at a lower tax rate. For PSE&G, the Tax Act has led to lower customer rates due to lower income tax expense recoveries and we have proposed to refund excess deferred income tax regulatory liabilities as part of our distribution rate case filing. The impact of the lower federal income tax rate on PSE&G was reflected in PSE&G’s recently filed distribution base rate case and its 2018 transmission formula rate filings. The Tax Act is generally expected to result in lower operating cash flows for PSE&G resulting from the elimination of bonus depreciation, partially offset by higher revenues due to the higher rate base.
The impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions PSEG has made, guidance that may be issued and actions PSEG may take as a result of the Tax Act. For additional information, see Item 1. Note 15. Income Taxes.
As a result of the enactment of the Tax Act, various state regulatory authorities, including the BPU, have taken action to ensure that excess federal income taxes previously collected in rates are returned to customers. We have made filings to adjust the revenue requirement in certain of our rate matters as a result of the change in the federal income tax rate.
In addition, FERC continues to assess whether, and if so how, it will address changes and flow-backs to customers relating to accumulated deferred income taxes and bonus depreciation. See Item 1. Note 6. Rate Filings for additional information.
In July 2018, the State of New Jersey made significant changes to its income tax laws, including imposing a temporary surtax on allocated corporate taxable income of 2.5% effective January 1, 2018 and 2019 and 1.5% in 2020 and 2021, as well as requiring corporate taxpayers to file in a combined reporting group as defined under New Jersey law starting in 2019. Both provisions include an exemption for public utilities. We believe PSE&G meets the definition of a public utility and, therefore, will not be impacted by the temporary surtax or be included in the combined reporting group. We expect these new provisions
76

Table of Contents
to unfavorably affect our non-utility business and we continue to analyze this newly enacted law and the impact it will have on us.
Operational Excellence
We emphasize operational performance while developing opportunities in both our competitive and regulated businesses. Flexibility in our generating fleet has allowed us to take advantage of opportunities in a rapidly evolving market as we remain diligent in managing costs. For the first six months of 2018, our

• | utility, beginning with comprehensive storm preparation, efficiently and safely completed our customer restorations and then assisted neighboring utilities with their restoration efforts,

• | diverse fuel mix and dispatch flexibility allowed us to generate approximately 25 terawatt hours while addressing fuel availability and price volatility, and

• | total nuclear fleet achieved an average capacity factor of 92.9%.

Financial Strength
Our financial strength is predicated on a solid balance sheet, positive operating cash flow and reasonable risk-adjusted returns on increased investment. Our financial position remained strong during the first six months of 2018 as we

• | maintained sufficient liquidity,

• | maintained solid investment grade credit ratings, and

• | increased our indicative annual dividend for 2018 to $1.80 per share.

We expect to be able to fund our planned capital requirements and manage the impacts of the Tax Act without the issuance of new equity.
Disciplined Investment
We utilize rigorous investment criteria when deploying capital and seek to invest in areas that complement our existing business and provide reasonable risk-adjusted returns. These areas include upgrading our energy infrastructure, responding to trends in environmental protection and providing new energy supplies in domestic markets with growing demand. In the first six months of 2018, we

• | made additional investments in transmission infrastructure projects,

• | continued to execute our GSMP I, ESP I, Energy Efficiency and other existing BPU-approved utility programs, and

• | commenced commercial operation of Sewaren 7 and continued construction of our BH5 generation project, which is targeted for commercial operation in mid-2019.

In early July 2018, we started commercial operation of our Keys generation facility.
Future Outlook
Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to maintain strong operational and financial performance in an environment with low gas prices, to capitalize on or otherwise address appropriately regulatory and legislative developments that impact our business and to respond to the issues and challenges described below. In order to do this, we must continue to:

• | focus on controlling costs while maintaining safety and reliability and complying with applicable standards and requirements,

• | successfully manage our energy obligations and re-contract our open supply positions in response to changes in demand,

• | obtain approval of and execute our utility capital investment program, including ESP II, GSMP I and II, our Clean Energy Future program and other investments for growth that yield contemporaneous and reasonable risk-adjusted returns, while enhancing the resiliency of our infrastructure and maintaining the reliability of the service we provide to our customers, and obtain approval for the extension of these programs,

• | effectively manage construction of our BH5 and other generation projects,

• | advocate for measures to ensure the implementation by PJM and FERC of market design and transmission planning rules that continue to promote fair and efficient electricity markets,

77

Table of Contents

• | engage multiple stakeholders, including regulators, government officials, customers and investors, and

• | successfully operate the LIPA T&D system and manage LIPA’s fuel supply and generation dispatch obligations.

For 2018 and beyond, the key issues and challenges we expect our business to confront include:

• | regulatory and political uncertainty, both with regard to future energy policy, design of energy and capacity markets, transmission policy and environmental regulation, as well as with respect to the outcome of any legal, regulatory or other proceeding, settlement, investigation or claim, applicable to us and/or the energy industry,

• | fair and timely rate relief from the BPU and FERC for recovery of costs and return on investments, including with respect to our distribution base rate case which was filed with the BPU in January 2018, and the timing of the return of unprotected excess deferred taxes to customers,

• | applying to the BPU to select our New Jersey nuclear generation units to receive payments under the ZEC program,

• | continuing discussions regarding the restructuring of GenOn and REMA and its potential impact on the value of our Keystone, Conemaugh and Shawville leveraged leases,

• | the continuing impacts of the Tax Act and changes in state tax laws,

• | national and regional economic conditions, continuing customer conservation efforts, changes in energy usage patterns and evolving technologies, which impact customer behaviors and demand,

• | the potential for continued reductions in demand and sustained lower natural gas and electricity prices, both at market hubs and the locations where we operate,

• | the impact of lower natural gas prices and increasing environmental compliance costs on the competitiveness of our nuclear and remaining coal-fired generation plants, and the potential for retirement of such plants earlier than their current useful lives,

• | delays and other obstacles that might arise in connection with the construction of our T&D, generation and other development projects, including in connection with permitting and regulatory approvals, and

• | maintaining a diverse mix of fuels to mitigate risks associated with fuel price volatility and market demand cycles.

Our primary investment opportunities are in two areas: our regulated utility business and our merchant power business. We continually assess a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term stockholder value. In assessing our options, we consider a wide variety of factors, including the performance and prospects of our businesses; the views of investors, regulators and rating agencies; our existing indebtedness and restrictions it imposes; and tax considerations, among other things. Strategic options available to us include:

• | the acquisition, construction or disposition of T&D facilities and/or generation units,

• | the disposition or reorganization of our merchant generation business or other existing businesses or the acquisition or development of new businesses,

• | the expansion of our geographic footprint,

• | continued or expanded participation in solar, demand response and energy efficiency programs, and

• | investments in capital improvements and additions, including the installation of environmental upgrades and retrofits, improvements to system resiliency, modernizing existing infrastructure and participation in transmission projects through FERC’s “open window” solicitation process.

Power is developing a retail energy business to sell energy, which we believe complements our existing wholesale marketing business. Power began these marketing activities in 2017 and has been granted retail energy supplier licenses in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will successfully develop and execute any of the strategic options noted above, or any additional options we may consider in the future. The execution of any such strategic plan may not have the expected benefits or may have unexpected adverse consequences.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 as Compared to 2017
Operating Revenues decreased $7 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.
Delivery Revenues decreased $8 million due primarily to

• | Transmission, gas distribution and electric distribution revenue requirements were $62 million lower as a result of rate reductions due to the Tax Act which reduced the corporate income tax rate. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense.

79

Table of Contents

• | Transmission revenues were $34 million higher due to revenue requirements calculated through our transmission formula rate, primarily to recover increased investments.

• | Gas distribution revenues increased $12 million due primarily to a $16 million increase from higher sales volumes and a $5 million increase from the inclusion of the GSMP I in base rates. These increases were partially offset by a $10 million decrease in Weather Normalization Clause (WNC) collections.

• | Electric distribution revenues increased $8 million due to a $4 million increase from higher ESP I investments in base rates, $3 million in higher sales volumes, and higher Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC) of $1 million.

Commodity Revenues were flat as a result of higher Gas revenues entirely offset by lower Electric revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both gas and electric are entirely offset by the changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of BGS and basic gas supply service (BGSS) to retail customers.

• | Gas commodity revenues increased $4 million due to higher BGSS sales volumes of $22 million partially offset by

lower BGSS sales prices of $18 million.

• | Electric commodity revenues decreased $4 million due to $29 million from lower BGS prices partially offset by $25 million in higher BGS sales volumes.

Clause Revenues were flat due primarily to a $6 million decrease in Margin Adjustment Clause (MAC) revenues entirely offset by higher collections of Societal Benefit Charges (SBC) of $4 million and a $2 million increase in collections of GPRC. The changes in the MAC, SBC and GPRC amounts are entirely offset by changes in the amortization of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities and related costs in O&M, D&A and Interest Expense. PSE&G does not earn margin on MAC, SBC or GPRC collections.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs were flat. This is entirely offset by the change in Commodity Revenues.
Operation and Maintenance decreased $6 million due primarily to a $4 million reduction in injuries and damages and a $2 million decrease in distribution maintenance, partially offset by a $2 million increase in seasonal storm damages.
Depreciation and Amortization increased $21 million due primarily to an increase in depreciation due to additional plant placed into service.
Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs) reflected an increase of $16 million in credits due to the adoption of new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2018 which no longer allows capitalization of any portion of these benefit costs. See Item 1. Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.
Interest Expense increased $13 million due primarily to increases of $7 million in clause interest and $5 million related to net debt issuances in May 2018 and December 2017.
Income Tax Expense decreased $43 million due primarily to the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018, partially offset by plant-related and flow-through items.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 as Compared to 2017
Operating Revenues increased $12 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.
Delivery Revenues increased $4 million due primarily to

• | Transmission revenues were $80 million higher due to higher revenue requirements calculated through our transmission formula rate, primarily to recover increased investments.

• | Gas distribution revenues increased $43 million primarily due to a $48 million increase due to higher sales volumes, a $22 million increase from the inclusion of the GSMP I in base rates and a $2 million increase in GPRC collections. These increases were partially offset by a $29 million decrease in WNC collections.

• | Electric distribution revenues increased $8 million due to a $6 million increase from the inclusion of increased ESP I investments in base rates and $2 million in higher sales volumes.

• | Transmission, gas distribution and electric distribution revenue requirements were $127 million lower as a result of rate reductions due to the Tax Act which reduced the corporate income tax rate. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense.

Commodity Revenues increased $20 million as a result of higher Electric revenues partially offset by lower Gas revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both electric and gas are entirely offset by the changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of BGS and BGSS to retail customers.

Table of Contents

• | Electric commodity revenues increased $30 million due primarily to $46 million in higher BGS sales volumes partially offset by $19 million in lower BGS prices and a $3 million increase from sales of solar renewable energy credits.

• | Gas commodity revenues decreased $10 million due to lower BGSS prices of $49 million, partially offset by higher BGSS sales volumes of $39 million.

Clause Revenues decreased $11 million due primarily to an $11 million decrease in MAC revenues and lower SBC of $2 million. These decreases were partially offset by $1 million increases in GPRC and Solar Pilot Recovery Charges (SPRC). The changes in the MAC, SBC, GPRC and SPRC amounts are entirely offset by changes in the amortization of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities and related costs in O&M, D&A and Interest Expense. PSE&G does not earn margin on MAC, SBC, GPRC or SPRC collections.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs increased $20 million. This is entirely offset by the change in Commodity Revenues.
Operation and Maintenance increased $15 million, primarily due to increases of $9 million in storm costs, $8 million in transmission expenses, $7 million in appliance service costs and $7 million in the gas distribution tariff. These increases were partially offset by a net $10 million decrease in clause and renewable related expenditures and a $4 million reduction in injuries and damages.
Depreciation and Amortization increased $40 million due primarily to a $39 million increase in depreciation related to additional plant in service and an increase of $4 million in amortization of Regulatory Assets partially offset by a $3 million increase in capitalized depreciation.
Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits (Costs) reflected an increase of $33 million in credits due to the adoption of new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2018 which no longer allows capitalization of any portion of these benefit costs. See Item 1. Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.
Interest Expense increased $19 million due primarily to an increase of $12 million related to net debt issuances in May 2018 and 2017 and December 2017 and a $7 million increase related to clauses.
Income Tax Expense decreased $97 million due primarily to the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018, partially offset by uncertain tax positions, plant-related and flow-through items.

81

Table of Contents
Generation Revenues decreased $187 million due primarily to

• | a decrease of $123 million due to net MTM losses in 2018 as compared to net MTM gains in 2017. Of this amount, $133 million was due to changes in forward power prices, partially offset by $10 million due to lower losses on positions reclassified to realized upon settlement this year as compared to last year,

• | a net decrease of $75 million in energy sales due primarily to lower generation volumes and lower average realized prices in the PJM region, and

• | a decrease of $20 million in electricity sold under our BGS contracts due to lower prices and lower volumes,

Gas costs increased $33 million due mainly to

• | an increase of $23 million related to sales to third parties due primarily to an increase in volumes sold, partially offset by lower average gas costs, and

• | an increase of $10 million related to sales under the BGSS contract due primarily to increased volumes sold due to colder average temperatures in 2018, partially offset by lower average gas costs.

Operation and Maintenance increased $12 million due primarily to higher planned outage costs at our 100%-owned Hope Creek nuclear plant in 2018 as compared to planned outage costs incurred in 2017 for our 57%-owned Salem Unit 2 nuclear plant.
Depreciation and Amortization decreased $381 million due primarily to

• | higher depreciation in 2017 for Hudson and Mercer due to the early retirement of those units,

• | partially offset by a $5 million increase in 2018 due to a higher nuclear asset base primarily from increased capitalized asset retirement costs.

Net Gains (Losses) on Trust Investments decreased $16 million due primarily to the inclusion in 2018 of net unrealized losses on equity investments in the NDT Fund in accordance with new accounting guidance.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) increased $81 million due primarily to pre-tax income in 2018 as compared to a pre-tax loss in 2017. This increase in income tax expense was diminished by the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) increased $280 million due primarily to pre-tax income in 2018 as compared to a pre-tax loss in 2017. This increase in income tax expense was diminished by the decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is on a consolidated basis, noting the uses and contributions, where material, of our two direct major operating subsidiaries.
Operating Cash Flows
We expect our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities to be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and shareholder dividend payments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our operating cash flow decreased $122 million as compared to the same period in 2017. The net changes were primarily due to tax refunds in 2017 at Energy Holdings combined with net changes from our subsidiaries as discussed below.
PSE&G
PSE&G’s operating cash flow decreased $7 million from $769 million to $762 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to a tax refund in 2017, partially offset by an increase of $87 million primarily due to a reduction in unbilled revenues resulting from lower prices and volumes in 2018, an increase of $66 million due to a change in regulatory deferrals, and higher earnings in 2018.
Power
Power’s operating cash flow decreased $63 million from $932 million to $869 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, due to lower earnings resulting from lower wholesale energy sales in the PJM region, an increase of $76 million in payments to counterparties and an increase in margin deposit requirements of $35 million, offset by tax refunds in 2018 compared to tax payments in 2017, and a $48 million increase from net collections of counterparty receivables.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of Power, primarily with cash and through the issuance of commercial paper. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
We continually monitor our liquidity and seek to add capacity as needed to meet our liquidity requirements. Each of our credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed below; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.
Our total credit facilities and available liquidity as of June 30, 2018 were as follows:

| Company/Facility |  | As of June 30, 2018 |
| Total Facility |  | Usage |  | Available Liquidity |
|  |  | Millions |
| PSEG |  | $ | 1,500 |  |  | $ | 88 |  |  | $ | 1,412 |  |
| PSE&G |  | 600 |  |  | 211 |  |  | 389 |  |
| Power |  | 2,100 |  |  | 202 |  |  | 1,898 |  |
| Total |  | $ | 4,200 |  |  | $ | 501 |  |  | $ | 3,699 |  |

84

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2018, our credit facility capacity was in excess of our projected maximum liquidity requirements over our 12 month planning horizon. Our maximum liquidity requirements are based on stress scenarios that incorporate changes in commodity prices and the potential impact of Power losing its investment grade credit rating from S&P or Moody’s, which would represent a three level downgrade from its current S&P or Moody’s ratings. In the even t of a deterioration of Power’s credit rating certain of Power’s agreements allow the counterparty to demand further performance assurance. The potential additional collateral that we would be required to post under these agreements if Power were to lose its investment grade credit rating was approximately $828 million and $848 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
For additional information, see Item 1. Note 11. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Long-Term Debt Financing
During the next twelve months, PSEG has a $700 million floating rate term loan maturing in June 2019, PSE&G has $350 million of 2.30% Medium-Term Notes maturing in September 2018 and $250 million of 1.80% Medium-Term Notes maturing in June 2019 and Power has $250 million of 2.45% Senior Notes maturing in November 2018.
For additional information see Item 1. Note 11. Debt and Credit Facilities.
Common Stock Dividends
On April 17, 2018, our Board of Directors approved a $0.45 dividend per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2018. On July 17, 2018, our Board of Directors declared a $0.45 dividend per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2018. These declarations reflect an indicative annual dividend rate of $1.80 per share. We expect to continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock; however, the declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our businesses, alternate investment opportunities, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. For additional information related to cash dividends on our common stock, see Item 1. Note17. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Dividends.
Credit Ratings
If the rating agencies lower or withdraw our credit ratings, such revisions may adversely affect the market price of our securities and serve to materially increase our cost of capital and limit access to capital. Credit Ratings shown are for securities that we typically issue. Outlooks are shown for Corporate Credit Ratings (S&P) and Issuer Credit Ratings (Moody’s) and can be Stable, Negative, or Positive. There is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised by the rating agencies, if, in their respective judgments, circumstances warrant. Each rating given by an agency should be evaluated independently of the other agencies’ ratings. The ratings should not be construed as an indication to buy, hold or sell any security.

PSE&G
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, PSE&G made capital expenditures of $1,458 million, primarily for T&D system reliability. This does not include expenditures for cost of removal, net of salvage, of $84 million, which are included in operating cash flows.
Power
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Power made capital expenditures of $521 million, excluding $26 million for nuclear fuel, primarily related to our Keys, Sewaren 7, BH5 and other generation projects.
ACCOUNTING MATTERS
For information related to recent accounting matters, see Item 1. Note 2. Recent Accounting Standards.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The risk inherent in our market-risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, equity security prices and interest rates as discussed in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. It is our policy to use derivatives to manage risk consistent with business plans and prudent practices. We have a Risk Management Committee comprised of executive officers who utilize a risk oversight function to ensure compliance with our corporate policies and risk management practices.
Additionally, we are exposed to counterparty credit losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment. We have a credit management process, which is used to assess, monitor and mitigate counterparty exposure. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.
Commodity Contracts
The availability and price of energy-related commodities are subject to fluctuations from factors such as weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies, market rules and other events. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter into supply contracts and derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and options with approved counterparties. These contracts, in conjunction with physical sales and other services, help reduce risk and optimize the value of owned electric generation capacity.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) Models
VaR represents the potential losses, under normal market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. We estimate VaR across our commodity businesses.
MTM VaR consists of MTM derivatives that are economic hedges. The MTM VaR calculation does not include market risks associated with activities that are subject to accrual accounting, primarily our generating facilities and some load serving activities.
The VaR models used are variance/covariance models adjusted for the change of positions with 95% and 99.5% confidence levels and a one-day holding period for the MTM activities. The models assume no new positions throughout the holding periods; however, we actively manage our portfolio.
From April through June 2018, MTM VaR was relatively stable between a low of $7 million and a high of $9 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrower for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
PSEG, PSE&G and Power
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported and is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of each respective company, as appropriate, by others within the entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a disclosure committee which includes several key management employees and which reports directly to the CFO and CEO of each of PSEG, PSE&G and Power. The committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The CFO and CEO of each of PSEG, PSE&G and Power have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and, based on this evaluation, have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures at each respective company were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.
Internal Controls
PSEG, PSE&G and Power
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In December 2017, we entered into a share repurchase plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, solely with respect to the repurchase of shares to satisfy obligations under equity compensation awards that are expected to vest or be exercised in 2018 and under PSEG’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan for expected employee purchases in 2018. There were no common share repurchases in the open market during the second quarter of 2018.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Certain information reported in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K is updated below. Additionally, certain information is provided for new matters that have arisen subsequent to the filing of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. References are to the related pages on the Form 10-K and 10-Q as printed and distributed.
Federal Regulation
Energy Clearing Prices
December 31, 2017 Form 10-K page 16 and March 31, 2018 Form 10-Q on page 80. FERC has ordered certain favorable changes to energy market price formation rules improving shortage pricing and enhancing bidding flexibility for units. We continue to advocate in this context for additional changes in market rules that would provide more transparency regarding operator actions affecting energy market prices and would promote better alignment between generation dispatch decisions and energy market price outcomes. The PJM Board has directed PJM staff to work with stakeholders to implement a series of price formation reforms, including a 30-minute reserve product in real-time, more dynamic reserve requirements to better capture operator actions taken to maintain reliability and improvement of the curves used to price reserves during reserve shortage conditions. The PJM Board letter directs PJM staff to submit some of these reforms for FERC’s approval so that they can be implemented in early 2019. If placed into effect, these reforms should improve energy and reserve prices by ensuring that when operators commit resources to ensure reliability, the commitments are reflected in market clearing prices. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Capacity Market Issues—PJM
December 31, 2017 Form 10-K page 16 and March 31, 2018 Form 10-Q on page 80. In April, 2018, PJM submitted two proposed alternative and mutually exclusive capacity market reforms for FERC’s approval. One option would be to implement a two-tier clearing mechanism that accommodates states’ subsidies and the other option would be to extend the existing MOPR to units that are receiving subsidies. In June 2018, FERC issued an order finding that PJM’s current capacity market is unjust and unreasonable because it allows resources supported by out-of-market payments to suppress capacity prices. FERC established a new proceeding to address an alternative approach in which PJM would: (1) modify PJM’s MOPR so that it would apply to new and existing resources that receive out-of-market payments, regardless of resource type; and (2) establish an option that would allow, on a resource-specific basis, resources receiving out-of-market support to be removed from the PJM capacity market, along with a commensurate amount of load, for some period of time. FERC’s potential action in this proceeding could cause nuclear units that receive ZEC payments to lose capacity market revenues if states do not take steps to address the potential loss of capacity revenues. In addition, depending on the outcome of this matter, our fossil generating stations could be adversely impacted. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Transmission Regulation—Transmission Policy Developments
December 31, 2017 Form 10-K page 19. In June 2016, a proposed settlement was filed with FERC for a matter remanded from the federal appellate court concerning the appropriate cost allocation for certain 500 kV projects in PJM that either have been built or are in the process of being built. In May 2018, FERC approved the settlement which will result in increased annual cost allocations to customers in the PSE&G transmission zone. Under this settlement, Power, as a BGS supplier will become obligated to pay amounts previously paid by other PJM transmission customers. However, we do not believe that the anticipated level of any such potential payments would have a material effect on Power’s financial statements. We believe that there is a mechanism in place under the BGS contract for the pass-through of increases in transmission charges.
Transmission Regulation—Con Edison-PJM Wheel
December 31, 2017 Form 10-K page 19. Effective May 1, 2017, a wheeling arrangement which enabled Con Edison to move 1,000 MW of power from southeastern New York across the PSE&G system for delivery into New York City expired. Amounts that would have been recovered from Con Edison had this arrangement continued are now being recovered from other customers. PSE&G believes the current planning assumptions used by PJM are consistent with sound transmission planning principles. However, PSE&G disagrees with the absence of a mechanism to assign PJM transmission upgrade costs to Con

Edison that reflect Con Edison’s reliance on the PJM transmission grid. PSE&G and the BPU jointly filed a rehearing application at FERC seeking reversal of a determination not to create such a mechanism in connection with a PJM/NYISO joint operating agreement. In addition, in December 2017, the BPU filed a complaint at FERC against Con Edison, PJM, NYISO, New York Power Authority, Linden VFT, LLC and Hudson Transmission Partners, LLC petitioning FERC to create such a cost allocation mechanism that would assign PJM costs to New York, which complaint was denied. The BPU has sought rehearing of FERC’s denial of its complaint. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
State Regulation
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
In May 2018, the New Jersey governor signed legislation that requires the state’s electric and gas utilities to implement energy efficiency programs that are expected to achieve energy savings targets for electric and gas usage within five years of the utility’s implementation of its BPU-approved energy efficiency programs. To meet these savings targets, energy usage reductions and peak demand reductions that result from utility and non-utility based programs and investments (including building code changes) will be counted. The specific energy savings target for each public electric and gas utility will be determined from an energy efficiency study to be completed within a year from enactment of the legislation. The legislation requires utilities to make annual filings with the BPU outlining their planned investments and proposed programs for cost-effectively achieving the targeted energy savings. These filings are also expected to address the utility’s return of and on those investments and recovery of lost revenues associated with the lower sales. The BPU is required to adopt rules to implement the legislation within one year of enactment.
New Jersey Energy Master Plan (EMP)
New Jersey law requires that an EMP be developed every three years. While not having the force of law, the EMP provides an overview of energy policy in New Jersey. The EMP was last revised in December 2015.
In May 2018, the New Jersey governor signed an executive order requiring the BPU and other New Jersey executive branch agencies to prepare a new EMP by June 1, 2019. The new EMP will, among other issues: focus on New Jersey converting to 100% clean energy sources by January 1, 2050; incorporate New Jersey’s offshore wind development goals; include provisions to guide the continued development of solar energy, including community solar; make recommendations to bolster energy storage in New Jersey; and explore methods to incentivize the use of clean, efficient energy and electric technology alternatives in New Jersey’s transportation sector and at its ports.
With regard to offshore wind, the executive order directed the BPU and other state agencies to begin a process to achieve 3,500 MWs of offshore wind energy generation by the year 2030. In response, the BPU issued an order directing staff to establish a rulemaking for an offshore wind renewable energy certificate (OREC) funding mechanism and rules for the solicitation of 1,100 MWs of offshore wind capacity. We are analyzing the implications to our business.
BPU 2018 Storm Investigation
In July 2018, the BPU accepted the findings of an investigative report concerning a series of storms that hit New Jersey in March 2018 causing wide-spread infrastructure damage and power outages. The BPU implemented certain recommendations that it deemed essential to facilitate the continued provision of safe, proper and adequate service, to help mitigate future outages, and to help develop more effective responses and coordination of resources. These requirements supplement prior requirements set forth post-Hurricanes Irene and Superstorm Sandy. PSE&G is reviewing the BPU’s report and its recommendations for improving storm response protocols.
