This combined MD&A is separately filed by Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG) and Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G). Information contained herein relating to any individual company is filed by such company on its own behalf.

PSEG’s business consists of two reportable segments, PSE&G and PSEG Power LLC (PSEG Power) & Other, primarily comprised of our principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries, which are:

PSE&G—which is a public utility engaged principally in the transmission of electricity and distribution of electricity and natural gas in certain areas of New Jersey. PSE&G is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and other federal and New Jersey state regulators. PSE&G also invests in regulated solar generation projects and energy efficiency (EE) and related programs in New Jersey, which are regulated by the BPU, and

PSEG Power—which is an energy supply company that is comprised of the operations of merchant nuclear generating assets and fuel supply functions engaged in competitive energy sales via its principal direct wholly owned subsidiaries. PSEG Power’s subsidiaries are subject to regulation by FERC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other federal regulators and state regulators in the states in which they operate.

The PSEG Power & Other reportable segment also includes amounts related to the parent company as well as PSEG’s other direct wholly owned subsidiaries, which are: PSEG Long Island LLC (PSEG LI), which operates the Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) transmission and distribution (T&D) system under an Operations Services Agreement (OSA); PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (Energy Holdings), which primarily holds legacy lease investments and competitively bid, FERC regulated transmission; and PSEG Services Corporation (Services), which provides certain management, administrative and general services to PSEG and its subsidiaries at cost.

Our business discussion in Item 1. Business of our 2024 Annual Report on 10-K (Form 10-K) provides a review of the regions and markets where we operate and compete, as well as our strategy for conducting our businesses within these markets, focusing on operational excellence, financial strength and making disciplined investments. Our risk factor discussion in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Form 10-K provides information about factors that could have a material adverse impact on our businesses. The following supplements that discussion and the discussion included in the Executive Overview of 2024 and Future Outlook provided in Item 7 in our Form 10-K by describing significant events and business developments that have occurred during 2025 and changes to the key factors that we expect may drive our future performance. The following discussion refers to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Statements) and the Related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes). This discussion should be read in conjunction with such Statements, Notes and the Form 10-K.

EXECUTIVE OVER****VIEW OF 2025 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

We are a public utility holding company that, acting through our wholly owned subsidiaries, is a predominantly regulated electric and gas utility and a nuclear generation business. Our business plan focuses on achieving growth by allocating capital primarily toward regulated investments in an effort to continue to improve the sustainability and predictability of our business and realizing the value of the consistent and reliable carbon free generation from our nuclear units. We are focused on investing to meet growing energy demand, modernize our energy infrastructure, improve reliability and resilience, increase EE and deliver clean energy to meet customer expectations and be well aligned with public policy objectives. With these investments and higher working capital recovery approved in the distribution rate case, our regulated rate base increased from approximately $30 billion as of December 31, 2023 to approximately $34 billion as of December 31, 2024. In addition, our nuclear facilities retain the downside price protection of a production tax credit (PTC) from 2024 through 2032.

Table of Contents

For the years 2025-2029, our regulated capital investment program is estimated to be in a range of $21 billion to $24 billion. We expect these capital investments to result in a compound annual growth rate in our regulated rate base in a range of 6% to 7.5%. The regulated capital investments represent the majority of PSEG’s total capital investment program of $22.5 billion to $26 billion. The low end of the range includes an extension of our Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP) and Clean Energy Future (CEF)-EE program at their current average annual investment levels plus inflation, as these programs are expected to continue beyond their currently approved timeframes. The upper end of our capital investment range includes potential incremental investments to address continued demand growth and other investments to meet infrastructure needs and support New Jersey's clean energy goals.

PSE&G

At PSE&G, our focus is on investing capital in T&D infrastructure and clean energy programs to meet growing demand, enhance the reliability and resiliency of our T&D system, meet customer expectations and support public policy objectives.

In October 2024, the BPU approved our CEF-EE II filing authorizing approximately $2.9 billion for energy efficiency projects committed between January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, and completed over an expected six-year period. The Order approved a program investment budget of approximately $1.9 billion, net of administrative expenses, and approximately $1 billion to continue our customer on-bill repayment program. This EE filing is a significant increase from our prior filings, driven by an increase in the savings targets required under the BPU Energy Efficiency Framework and higher costs to achieve those targeted savings.

In 2023, the BPU approved a two-year extension of our current GSMP II program to replace at least 400 miles of cast iron and unprotected steel mains and services in our gas system. The GSMP II program extension provides for main replacement through December 2025 plus trailing services replacement and paving costs into 2026 and totals approximately $900 million of investment. Of the $900 million, $750 million is recovered through three periodic rate updates with the balance recovered through a future distribution base rate case. PSE&G has re-started discussions regarding the GSMP III program with the objective of beginning the new program in 2026.

In October 2024, the BPU issued an Order approving the settlement of PSE&G's distribution rate case with new rates effective October 15, 2024. The Order provided for a $17.8 billion rate base, a 9.6% return on equity for PSE&G’s distribution business and a 55% equity component of its capitalization structure. In addition, the Order approved mechanisms beginning January 1, 2025 associated with the recovery of future storm costs as well as the recovery of annual pension and OPEB expenses.

PSEG Power

At PSEG Power, we seek to produce low-cost electricity by efficiently operating our nuclear generation assets, mitigate earnings volatility through the PTC mechanism and hedging, and support public policies that preserve these existing carbon-free base load nuclear generating plants. During the first nine months of 2025, our nuclear units generated approximately 23.8 terawatt hours and operated at a capacity factor of 93.7%. Effective April 2025, PSEG Power revised the estimated useful lives for the Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek nuclear plants due to our expectation that a 20-year license extension will be approved for these facil

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALI****TATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The risk inherent in our market-risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, equity security prices and interest rates as discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. It is our policy to use derivatives to manage risk consistent with business plans and prudent practices. We have a Risk Management Committee comprised of executive officers who utilize a risk oversight function to ensure compliance with our corporate policies and risk management practices.

Additionally, we are exposed to counterparty credit losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment. We have a credit management process, which is used to assess, monitor and mitigate counterparty exposure. In the event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows.

Commodity Contracts

The availability and price of energy-related commodities are subject to fluctuations from factors such as weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies, market rules and other events. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter into supply contracts and derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps, and options with approved counterparties. These contracts, in conjunction with physical sales and other services, help reduce risk and optimize the value of owned electric generation capacity.

Value-at-Risk (VaR) Models

VaR represents the potential losses, under normal market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. We estimate VaR across our commodity businesses.

MTM VaR consists of MTM derivatives that are economic hedges. The calculation does not include market risks associated with activities that are subject to accrual accounting, primarily our generating facilities and some load-serving activities.

The VaR models used are variance/covariance models adjusted for the change of positions with 95% and 99.5% confidence levels and a one-day holding period for the MTM activities. The models assume no new positions throughout the holding periods; however, we actively manage our portfolio.

From July through September 2025, MTM VaR varied between a low of $17 million and a high of $45 million at the 95% confidence level. The range of VaR was narrower for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.

See Item 1. Note 10. Financial Risk Management Activities for a discussion of credit risk.

CONTROLS A****ND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

PSEG and PSE&G

We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported and is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of each respective company, as appropriate, by others within the entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a disclosure committee which includes several key management employees and which reports directly to the CFO and CEO of each of PSEG and PSE&G. The committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures. The CFO and CEO of each of PSEG and PSE&G have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and, based on this evaluation, have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures at each respective company were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.

Internal Controls

PSEG and PSE&G

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Director and Officer Rule 10b5-1 and non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, none of PSEG's officers or directors adopted, terminated or modified a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933).

Federal Regulation

Regulation of Wholesale Sales—Generation/Market Issues/Market Power

There are several ongoing proceedings at FERC that may impact future large load customer arrangements, such as data centers, including whether certain data center customers, depending on their configuration, will pay transmission service charges. FERC is also broadly examining issues concerning whether, and to what extent, there are potential reliability, cost and customer impacts raised by the location of large customers at generating facilities. Relatedly, the U.S. Secretary of Energy sent a letter to FERC in October 2025 requesting that FERC initiate a proceeding to establish rules by April 30, 2026, that will facilitate the timely, orderly and non-discriminatory interconnection of large load customers, including data centers, to the transmission grid and establishing principles FERC should apply in the rulemaking process. These principles include support for co-location arrangements that minimize the need for upgrades to the transmission system. FERC has taken responsive action to commence this rulemaking process. We cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
