Commercial Energy Management in the North Jersey
North Jersey is PSE&G territory inside PJM — PSEG transmission zone. PSE&G delivers the power and maintains the wires whoever supplies it, so competitive supply carries no reliability consequence — only a lower price.
How Energy Buying Works in North Jersey
Port Newark–Elizabeth and Newark Liberty give North Jersey a logistics load base with few equals, and PSE&G serves nearly all of it inside PJM's PSEG transmission zone. New Jersey's Basic Generation Service price — the default supply rate — is set through an annual statewide auction, which makes it unusually predictable as a benchmark and unusually easy to beat in some years and nearly impossible in others. Knowing which kind of year you are in is most of the skill. Cold storage and pharmaceutical load here is temperature-critical and cannot curtail, so the saving has to come from the contract rather than from load flexibility.
New Jersey opened to competition in 1999, but the terms are set territory by territory, not statewide. PSE&G's distribution rates, its default supply price and its rate schedules are all set independently of the other utilities in New Jersey — which is why an offer that is genuinely competitive in one part of the state can be mediocre here. Everything on this page is scoped to PSE&G specifically.
PSE&G Commercial Rates
Which schedule you are on sets the shape of the bill before a single kilowatt-hour is priced.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| GLP — General Lighting & Power | small and mid-size commercial accounts |
| LPL — Large Power & Lighting | demand-metered accounts above roughly 500 kW |
| HTS — High Tension Service | facilities served at transmission voltage |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
