Recent Accounting Standards [Text Block] | Recent Accounting Standards New Standards Adopted in 2021 Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes—Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12 This accounting standard updates Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes, including the elimination of several exceptions and making other clarifications to the current guidance. Some of the more pertinent modifications include a change to the tax accounting related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income, an election to allocate the consolidated tax expense to a disregarded entity that is a member of a consolidated tax return filing group when those entities issue separate financial statements, and modifications and clarifications to interim tax reporting. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2021. PSEG has elected to allocate the consolidated tax expense to all eligible entities that are included in a consolidated tax filing on a prospective basis. This election is consistent with PSEG’s Tax Sharing Agreements with its affiliated subsidiaries. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. Clarifying the Interactions between Investments-Equity Securities, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging—ASU 2020-01 This accounting standard clarifies that an entity should consider transaction prices for purposes of measuring the fair value of certain equity securities immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. This accounting standard also clarifies that when accounting for contracts entered into to purchase equity securities, an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity—ASU 2020-06 This accounting standard simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the ASU eliminates certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. The ASU also revises the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG early adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. Codification Improvements to Callable Debt Securities—ASU 2020-08 This accounting standard clarifies that an entity should reevaluate for each reporting period whether a purchased callable debt security that has multiple call dates is within the scope of certain guidance on nonrefundable fees and other costs related to receivables. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. Codification Improvements—ASU 2020-10 This accounting standard conforms, clarifies, simplifies, and provides technical corrections to various codification topics. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. PSEG adopted this standard on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. Reference Rate Reform Scope Refinement—ASU 2021-01 This accounting standard clarifies certain guidance related to derivative instruments affected by the market-wide change in the interest rates even if those derivatives do not reference t he LIBOR o r another rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The accounting standard also clarifies other aspects of the relief provided in the reference rate reform GAAP guidance. The standard is effective upon issuance and allows for retrospective or prospective application with certain conditions. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively in January 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial statements of PSEG and PSE&G. New Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2021 Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options—ASU 2021-04 This accounting standard clarifies an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange.

The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022.

It amends the lessor lease classification requirements and, as a result, a lessor is now required to classify and account for a lease with variable payments as an operating lease if (i) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and (ii) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss.

Amendments in this standard will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. PSEG is currently analyzing the impact of this standard on its financial statements. Government Assistance – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance—ASU 2021-10 This accounting standard increases transparency in financial reporting by requiring business entities to disclose, in notes to financial statements, certain information when they (i) have received government assistance and (ii) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PSEG adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022.
