Forward Looking Statement
EXHIBIT 99
Certain of the matters discussed in this communication about us and our subsidiaries  
future performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies,
prospects, consequences and all other statements that are not purely historical
constitute
“forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
the
Private
Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated. Such statements are based on management's beliefs as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When
used herein, the words “anticipate,”
“intend,”
“estimate,”
“believe,”
“expect,”
“plan,”
“should,”
“hypothetical,”
“potential,”
“forecast,”
“project,”
variations of such words
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that
may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking
statements themselves. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated in any forward looking statements made by us herein are
discussed in filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports
on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and available on our website: http://www.pseg.com.
These factors include, but are not limited to:
adverse changes in the demand for or the price of the capacity and energy that we
sell into wholesale electricity markets,
adverse changes in energy industry law, policies and regulation, including market
structures and a potential shift away from competitive markets toward subsidized
market mechanisms, transmission planning and cost allocation
rules, including
rules regarding how transmission is planned and who is permitted to build
transmission in the future, and reliability standards,
any inability of our transmission and distribution businesses to obtain adequate
and timely rate relief and regulatory approvals from federal
and state regulators,
changes in federal and state environmental regulations that could increase our
costs or limit our operations,
changes in nuclear regulation and/or general developments in the nuclear power
industry, including various impacts from any accidents or incidents experienced
at our facilities or by others in the industry, that could limit operations of our
nuclear generating units,
actions or activities at one of our nuclear units located on a multi-unit site that
might adversely affect our ability to continue to operate that unit or other units
located at the same site,
any inability to balance our energy obligations, available supply and risks,
any deterioration in our credit quality or the credit quality of our counterparties,
including in our leveraged leases,
availability of capital and credit at commercially reasonable terms and conditions
and our ability to meet cash needs,
changes in the cost of, or interruption in the supply of, fuel and other commodities
necessary to the operation of our generating units,
delays in receipt of necessary permits and approvals for our construction and
development activities,
delays or unforeseen cost escalations in our construction and development activities,
any inability to achieve, or continue to sustain, our expected levels of operating
performance,
any equipment failures, accidents, severe weather events or other incidents
that impact our ability to provide safe and reliable service
to our customers,
and any inability to obtain sufficient coverage or recover proceeds of insurance
on such matters,
increases in competition in energy supply markets as well as competition from
certain rate-based transmission projects,
any inability to realize anticipated tax benefits or retain tax
credits,
challenges associated with recruitment and/or retention of a qualified workforce,
adverse performance of our decommissioning and defined benefit plan trust fund
investments and changes in funding requirements, and
changes in technology, such as distributed generation and microgrids, and
resultant changes in customer usage patterns, including energy efficiency and
demand response.
All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these
cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that the results or developments
anticipated by management will be realized or even if realized, will have the expected
consequences to, or effects on, us or our business prospects, financial condition or
results of operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements in making any investment decision. Forward-looking
statements made in this report apply only as of the date of this
report. While we may
elect to update forward-looking statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim
any obligation to do so, even if internal estimates change, unless otherwise required by
applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are
intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as
amended.

GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Income from Continuing
Operations/Net Income reported in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  Operating Earnings is a non-
GAAP financial measure that differs from Net Income because it excludes gains
or losses associated with Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market
(MTM) accounting, and other material one-time items.  PSEG presents Operating
Earnings because management believes that it is appropriate for investors to
consider results excluding these items in addition to the results reported in
accordance with GAAP.  PSEG believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of
Operating Earnings provides a consistent and comparable measure of
performance of its businesses to help shareholders understand performance
trends.  This information is not
intended to be viewed as an alternative to GAAP
information. Slides A and B at the end of this presentation include a list of items
excluded from Income from Continuing Operations/Net Income to reconcile to
Operating Earnings, with a reference to that slide included on each of the slides
where the non-GAAP information appears.

PSEG’s locational advantage
PSEG is well positioned to realize
supply cost advantages from the
shale deposits in PA and OH
The majority of Power’s pipeline
capacity goes through the shale
regions or emanates from
locations in the region
The lowest cost supplies have
come from the Tennessee 300
line in northeast PA and the
Transco Leidy line in central PA
Power also has significant Texas
Eastern capacity in southwest PA,
the next region to develop
Availability of a robust gas
portfolio of storage and pipeline
capacity primarily benefits
PSE&G’s gas customers and
then Power, as conditions permit
Power buys approximately
350BCF/year of gas
