Rate Filings | Rate Filings This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 7. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to items previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, a significant currently pending rate filing with the BPU is as follows: In 2019, the BPU approved an order establishing a Transition Incentive Program to serve as a bridge between the existing Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program and a to-be-established successor program and created a new incentive mechanism known as Transition Renewable Incentive Certificates (TRECs). TRECs will be awarded to qualifying solar projects under the new program. In the TREC order, the BPU directed the New Jersey EDCs to engage a TREC Administrator to acquire, on behalf of the EDCs, TRECs produced by eligible solar projects, which will be funded through a TREC charge to electric customers collected by the EDCs. The order allows the EDCs to recover their costs associated with the TREC program in an annual filing, subject to approval by the BPU. On April 30, 2020, PSE&G filed for increased rates of approximately $23 million annually for recovery of its expected share of TREC costs. PSE&G’s filing proposes to recover the revenue requirements associated with the TREC Program as a new component of PSE&G’s existing electric Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC). This matter is pending.
