Forward-Looking Statement

The statements contained in this communication about our and our subsidiaries’ future performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies, prospects and all other statements that are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe that our expectations are based on information currently available and on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance they will be achieved. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein. A discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and available on our website: http://www.pseg.com. These documents address in further detail our business, industry issues and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in this communication. In addition, any forward-looking statements included herein represent our estimates only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws.

GAAP Disclaimer

PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its 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 the impact of the sale of certain non-core domestic and international assets and costs stemming from the terminated merger agreement with Exelon Corporation. 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. The last slide in this presentation includes a list of items excluded from 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. These slides are only intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate.

34% Increase in CO2emissions by 2030

The Energy Information Administration projects a 34% increase in CO2 emissions from 2004 levels in the business as usual case (no climate policy)

… to unacceptably high levels based upon recent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change.

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) for the power sector is real …

• Agreement between 10 northeast states to cap CO2emissions from power plants

• Emissions capped at 2000-2004 baseline levels in 2009

- NJ cap = 22.9 million tons

• Reduce CO2 emissions by a total of 10% during 2015 –2018

• Allowance distribution methodology, “Leakage”, and harmonizing with a national program are major concerns

• NJ RGGI legislation and regulations are planned for Nov 2007

… and on schedule to go into effect January 1, 2009.

Page 14: public serviceenterprise group  Merrill_Lynch_FINAL

13

A key element of any Cap and Trade approach is the allowance distribution methodology.

• Different approaches have been debated:– Grandfathered (Historical)– Updated– Input– Output– Auction

• RGGI states are going down path of 100% auction

The price of the credits, however, is independent of the allocation method and determined primarily by the level of the CO2 cap.

Leakage - Emissions Increases at Out of State Plants Caused by RGGI

NJ Emissions Reduced Caused by RGGI

RGGI Will Result in a Net Increase in CO2 Emissions

Based on RGGI State Workgroup data, RGGI results in a net increase in emissions when comparing the RGGI Reference Case versus RGGI Package Case 10/2006 Model Runs. Leakage offsets any benefits of the RGGI program for NJ.

… or RGGI states risk increased consumer costs AND increased CO2 emissions.

Page 16: public serviceenterprise group  Merrill_Lynch_FINAL

15

New Jersey climate initiatives …

• Energy Master Plan – No explicit CO2 target, but:– 20% energy efficiency by 2020

– Calls for 20% renewables by 2020

• NJ Global Warming Response Act:– Stabilization of economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions at

1990 levels by 2020.

– Reduction of economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 2006 levels by 2050.

– Establishes emissions portfolio standard for suppliers of power into NJ

… present numerous opportunities for PSE&G and PSEG Power.

Capacity Position

• Only a portion of PSEG Power’s capacity was open to realize prices in the recent PJM-RPM auctions. Increasing amounts are open to realize prices in future years.

• A significant percent of Power’s capacity was contracted as part of New Jersey’s 3-year BGS* auction (Power currently serving 11 tranches from the 2005 auction, 20 tranches from 2006 and 19 tranches from 2007), as well as other contracting activity.

• The balance of Power’s PJM capacity has obtained price certainty through May 31, 2009 from the first two RPM auctions.

• All of Power’s New England capacity has obtained price certainty through May 31, 2010 as a result of the fixed price nature of the transitional FCM auction.

• Existing capacity hedges support our forecast year-over-year improvement in capacity margin for 2007 of $125 - $175 million with similar improvement in 2008.

* Delivery year runs from June 1 – May 31

Our forecasted cash flows remain intact…

• We remain comfortable with a forecast improvement in cash

- Operating income in line with expectations- Electroandes sale to close in October- Planned rate mechanisms for transmission investments would provide cash recovery during construction

• Excess cash between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion should be available through 2011

… with excess cash expected to be used to retire debt through first half of 2008, thereafter for incremental growth and/or share repurchase.

Right set of assets…• Large, diverse mix of low-cost, base-load, load-following generating assets• Reliable electric and gas distribution and transmission systems • Stable portfolio of investments in domestic generation, international distribution and leases

Right markets…• Generation assets operate in tightly constrained and growing markets• Nuclear and coal base-load capacity operate in markets where the price for power is set by

gas• Transmission and distribution assets provide service in a modest growth market with

reasonable regulation

At the right time…• Mid-Atlantic, New England and Texas recognizing the value of capacity in constrained areas• A move to control carbon benefits our nuclear-based fleet• Power has opportunity for brownfield development at existing sites• Values are improving for international assets• T&D set to benefit from capital investment for new infrastructure
