Bringing the power of energy efficiency to more of our customers

One of the most important missions for utilities going forward will be to help their customers develop low-cost, energy efficient options. Reducing the consumption of electricity and natural gas will provide a host of benefits – it will give customers access to new energy efficient technologies while also lowering their utility bills and reducing pollution and environmental impacts for years to come.It may seem strange that a company would be focused on selling less of its products, but a range of innovations and increasing warnings about climate change demand a new way of thinking. Energy efficiency isn’t an entirely new goal for PSE&G. During the past nine years, we have spent $400 million to help targeted customer groups reduce their consumption and lower their bills.

Now we want to do the same kind of work on a bigger scale and provide all customers with the opportunity to take advantage of advances in energy efficiency. Our $2.8 billion energy efficiency proposal would save participating customers billions and reduce carbon emissions by 24 million tons. It is the centerpiece of PSE&G’s $4.1 billion Clean Energy Future proposal.
