MIRAMAR, Fla., Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- America's leading consumer research firm, JD Power and Associates, has issued its 2015 Retail Electric Provider Customer Satisfaction Survey^sm, awarding top rankings to five companies under the U.S. Gas & Electric, Inc. ("USG&E") umbrella. Operating in eleven states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Gas & Electric companies marketing in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, were all recognized in the survey.

New Jersey Gas & Electric ("NJG&E") was honored with the top award for placing "Among the Best" in most of the segments in the New Jersey market, followed by Connecticut Gas & Electric ("CTG&E"), Massachusetts Gas & Electric ("MAG&E"), New York Gas & Electric ("NYG&E") and Pennsylvania Gas & Electric ("PAG&E"), which ranked #2, #2, #8 and #14, in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, respectively. J.D. Power's ratings are based on the opinions of a representative sample of consumers who have used the service being rated and are, therefore, indicative of a typical buying or ownership experience.
