PSE&G Energy Efficiency Programs Deliver More Than $900 Million in Annual Utility Bill Savings for New Jersey Customers

Participation from approximately 480,000 customers continues to deliver measurable energy savings

NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PSE&G's latest Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency (CEF-EE) report demonstrates continued savings for customers across New Jersey. From program implementation beginning in October 2020 through September 2025, nearly 480,000 customers participated in PSE&G's energy efficiency programs. Collectively, that participation is delivering more than $900 million in annual customer savingsⁱ.

These savings reflect a broad range of energy efficiency offerings designed to help customers use less energy and better manage utility costs. Offerings include energy assessments, appliance and HVAC rebates, lighting solutions, equipment upgrades and energy efficiency products available through the PSE&G Marketplace, giving customers multiple ways to take action based on their needs and preferences.

Additional program highlights include:

• More than 105,000 home energy assessments completed
• Nearly 350,000 smart thermostats sold via PSE&G Marketplace
• Approximately 150,000 rebates claimed for upgrades to energy-efficient appliances
• Approximately $940 million in rebatesⁱⁱ delivered to help offset the cost of energy-saving upgrades and products
• More than 30,000 appliances recycled through the PSE&G recycling program

Business Customers Benefit
Energy efficiency plays an important role for PSE&G's business customers across New Jersey, serving organizations of all sizes. We offer a range of solutions that support businesses in improving operational efficiency and managing energy use and utility costs. These programs also provide incentives that help offset the cost of energy efficiency upgrades and give businesses greater flexibility to reinvest resources into other operational priorities.

Approximately 20,000 businesses have implemented more than 32,000 projects to help improve energy efficiency and manage energy use as part of our energy efficiency programs. Among those small businesses, approximately 2,000 have participated through our Direct Install Programⁱⁱⁱ, resulting in nearly $25 million in annual utility bill savings^iv to those customers.

One example is St. Joseph's Health, which is undertaking energy efficiency projects at its facilities in Paterson and Wayne, New Jersey. Supported by PSE&G incentives, these projects are expected to help reduce energy use and manage operating costs over time. "Every dollar we're not spending on energy is a dollar we can put back into patient care," said Scott Reilly, director of maintenance and engineering at St. Joseph's Health.

Program Impact and Affordability
Across both residential and business customers, participation in PSE&G's energy efficiency programs has also contributed to energy and environmental outcomes. To date, customers have achieved approximately 3.1 million megawatt hours of electric savings annually, enough to power about 453,000 homes^v each year. Natural gas savings are approximately 80 million therms per year. Combined, these efforts are helping to avoid approximately 2.3 million tons of carbon emissions avoided annually, equivalent to removing more than 500,000 gasoline-powered cars from the road for one year^vi.

As affordable energy remains a concern, growing regional demand for electricity will continue to put pressure on the energy system. PSE&G stands ready to work with the state on near- and long-term solutions, including energy efficiency, as well as additional power generation and transmission and distribution solutions to support reliability and help maintain stable energy costs.

"Energy efficiency is one of the tools we use to help customers reduce energy use and manage their utility costs," said Lauren Thomas, vice president of Clean Energy Solutions - Customer Solutions at PSE&G. "Maintaining affordability and enhancing the customer experience remain central to this work. The investments we make through these programs largely flow back into New Jersey, supporting local businesses, contractors and trade allies while delivering value for customers."

In addition to customer and business impacts, energy efficiency investments also support workforce development across New Jersey. Through PSE&G's sponsored Clean Energy Jobs Program these efforts have helped place more than 7,300 individuals into clean energy careers^vii, supporting the skilled workforce needed to deliver energy efficiency projects and serve customers across the state.

PSE&G aims to be a trusted energy advisor, providing customers with resources and tools to help better manage utility costs and make more informed decisions about energy use.
