Understanding Your Bill
Your PSE&G bill includes several components: base charges, energy charges, fuel adjustments, taxes, and fees.
PSE&G residential rates in New Jersey typically range from 15–20¢/kWh for the total bill including supply and delivery. New Jersey has a deregulated market, so your supply and delivery charges are separate. PSE&G handles delivery while you may choose a third-party supplier.
Why is my PSE&G bill so high?
High PSE&G bills can result from seasonal usage changes, societal benefits charges, transitional energy facility assessment, or third-party supplier markups. New Jersey's deregulated market means supply rates vary by provider.
How can I verify my PSE&G bill is correct?
Upload your PSE&G bill to Utility Check. We recalculate delivery charges, supply charges, societal benefits charges, and all applicable surcharges against PSE&G's published tariffs.
Does Utility Check support PSE&G?
Yes. Utility Check fully supports PSE&G bill verification in New Jersey. We verify both supply and delivery charges, societal benefits charges, and all applicable riders on your bill.
