PSE&G processes customer and generator interconnection requests in a timely manner to support customer reliability and affordability and align with NJ’s clean energy and other public policy goals.

PSE&G leads the way in the state in addressing customer requests to connect to the grid whether that’s solar requests, interconnecting generators connecting to the high voltage system or large and complicated customer connections. A lack of electric generation in the state poses a risk to NJ customers, PSE&G delivers solutions.

The problem: The PJM queue has historically been backlogged. However, PSE&G is not backlogged in processing any queue-related study requests. We process study requests in a timely manner – doing what’s in the best interest of our customers seeking to interconnect to the transmission grid.

Given the significant reliability concerns associated with not having enough generation capacity on the PJM system, it’s important to get generators hooked up quickly. PSE&G is doing its part and not delaying interconnection requests to the transmission grid. Timely and efficient processing helps to bring more generation online to address resource adequacy concerns.

PSE&G has nine PJM projects in progress and 100% of the projects are on schedule for all PSE&G related work. These projects include 835 MW of storage and 12MW of solar generation. PSE&G also is aware of eight projects submitted to PJM awaiting PJM’s instruction to begin the study process in 2026. These projects include approximately 1700MW of proposed Solar, Storage & Offshore Wind. (As of 3/27/25) Consistent with its past support of PJM interconnection requests, PSE&G expects to deliver all necessary studies to PJM on time.

Furthermore, PSE&G leads the way on solar energy in New Jersey.

PSE&G provides timely Net Electric Meter interconnection application reviews for interconnection to PSE&G’s distribution system with a high rate of approval. PSE&G processed 12,213 net meter applications in 2024 and approved 97.8%. In the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2025, PSE&G processed 11,795 net meter applications, supportive of the rapid deployment of generation and our commitment to clean energy. Despite the significant number of applications, average cycle times remain low.
