Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. Research Report

On July 15, 2013, Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PSE&G) announced that support for its "Energy Strong" proposal is building up. The "Energy Strong" proposal is a plan to strengthen New Jersey's energy infrastructure in the face of progressively extreme weather. PSE&G reported that 54 towns have already adopted resolutions supporting the utility's plan. "While an analysis by the Associated Press showed that power was restored more quickly in New Jersey than in surrounding states, the fact is that more than 1.9 million of our customers lost power during Sandy -- some for as long as two weeks -- as waterlogged systems were repaired and replaced," said Ralph LaRossa, President and Chief Operating Officer of PSE&G. "With Sandy, Irene and the 2011 October snowstorm, we had three of the most damaging storms in our company's history in quick succession. It was clear that we needed to do something extraordinary." The Company informed that Energy Strong will invest $3.9 billion over 10 years to protect switching and substations from water damage, reinforce utility poles and overhead wires, deploy smart grid technology to reduce the likelihood and duration of outages, and replace gas lines in flood-prone areas.
