Rate Filings	Note 4. Rate Filings This Note should be read in conjunction with Note 6.

The Order provides 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. The settlement results in a net increase in annual revenues of approximately $505 million, comprised of a $711 million increase in base revenues, offset by the return of tax benefits of approximately $206 million. The return of tax benefits includes the flowback to customers of excess accumulated deferred income taxes and the flowback of previously recovered deferred income taxes and current tax repair deductions under the Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC) mechanism approved by the BPU in PSE&G’s 2018 distribution base rate case. The settlement approves an additional flowback of previously recovered deferred income taxes and current mixed service cost deductions. As a result of the approval to flowback previously recovered deferred income taxes related to mixed service costs, PSE&G recognized a $509 million regulatory liability and a corresponding regulatory asset as of September 30, 2024. The settlement also approved the recovery of regulatory assets primarily associated with deferred storm costs, PSE&G’s electric vehicle charging program (CEF-EV) and electric meter AMI deployment program (CEF-EC), including stranded costs associated with the early retirement of legacy meters. In addition, the Order approved mechanisms associated with the recovery of future storm costs as well as the recovery of annual pension and OPEB expenses beginning January 1, 2025. BGSS—In April 2024, the BPU gave final approval to PSE&G’s BGSS rate of 40 cents per therm.

Energy Strong II—In April 2024, the BPU approved an annualized increase in electric revenue requirement of $12 million, with rates effective May 1, 2024. The approved electric revenue increase represents the return of and on actual Energy Strong II investments placed in service through December 31, 2023. Green Program Recovery Charges (GPRC)—In May 2024, the BPU approved PSE&G’s petition for a second extension of its Clean Energy Future (CEF)-EE subprogram investment (a component of GPRC) by approximately $300 million covering a commitment period from July 2024 through December 2024. In June 2024, the BPU approved PSE&G’s updated 2023 GPRC cost recovery petition for $49 million and $15 million in annual electric and gas revenues, respectively. In June 2024, PSE&G filed its 2024 GPRC cost recovery petition requesting BPU approval for recovery of increases of $68 million and $24 million in annual electric and gas revenues, respectively. This matter is pending. In October 2024, the BPU approved PSE&G’s CEF-EE II investment program as a new component of GPRC. The Order authorizes a total spend of 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 approving CEF-EE II will result in an annual increase in gas revenues of approximately $3 million, effective January 1, 2025. Infrastructure Advancement Program (IAP)—In May 2024, the BPU approved PSE&G's updated IAP cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover in electric base rates an annual revenue increase of $5 million. This increase represents the return of and on investment for IAP electric investments in service through January 31, 2024. New rates were effective June 1, 2024. In November 2024, PSE&G filed an IAP cost recovery petition seeking BPU approval to recover in electric and gas base rates an annual revenue increase of $6 million and $5 million, respectively, effective May 1, 2025.

The June 2024 true-up filing resulted in an approximate $12 million increase in the 2023 annual revenue requirement from the revenue requirement numbers contained in the forecast filing. PSE&G had previously recognized the majority of the increased revenue requirement in 2023. In October 2024, PSE&G filed its Annual Transmission Formula Rate Update with FERC, which will result in a $64 million increase in its annual transmission revenue effective January 1, 2025, subject to true-up. ZEC Program—In August 2024, the BPU approved the final ZEC price of $9.95 per MWh for the Energy Year ended May 31, 2024. As a result, PSE&G purchased approximately $166 million of ZECs including interest, from the eligible nuclear plants selected by the BPU with the final payment made in August 2024. As total customer collections equaled the required ZEC payments, there were no over-collected revenues from customers for the Energy Year ended May 31, 2024.
