How Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) and Retail Suppliers Work Together
PSE&G serves most of NJ — high commercial density in the Newark/NYC metro corridor.
PSE&G handles electricity and gas distribution. Third-party energy suppliers (TPS) compete for commercial supply. The supply portion of your bill — typically the largest single line item for commercial accounts — is where retail competition applies. That's the piece a broker targets.
PSE&G delivery rates are NJ BPU-regulated. Basic Generation Service (BGS) is the default rate — updated at annual auction.
What "Switching Suppliers" Means for Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) Customers
TPS switching in PSE&G territory is standard NJ process — one cycle, no interruption.
50+ TPS providers are licensed in New Jersey.
The process: you authorize a supplier to serve your account, they notify Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G), and the change takes effect at your next billing cycle. No technician visit. No service interruption. Same reliability, different supply rate.
