• Growth in the second quarter was primarily driven by ongoing investments in system replacement, reliability, and energy efficiency programs at PSE&G.

• PSEG Power results benefited from higher realized market prices and nuclear generation, which mitigated the expiration of the Zero Emission Certificate (ZEC) programs in May 2025.

• Management attributed successful storm restoration for 380,000 customers to long-term reliability investments and proactive communication, reinforcing the value of the current capital program.

• The company is shifting toward more frequent base rate cases to address regulatory lag caused by a historical test year and a robust capital program with fewer infrastructure investment clauses.

• Strategic positioning is increasingly focused on 'utility-like' generation opportunities, leveraging existing skill sets to potentially develop new dispatchable generation under bilateral contracts.

• Clean Energy Future programs have reached a milestone of generating over $1 billion in annual customer savings while supporting approximately 9,300 jobs statewide.

Outlook and Strategic Assumptions

• Reaffirmed full-year 2026 non-GAAP operating earnings guidance of $4.28 to $4.40 per share based on first-half performance meeting expectations.

• Maintained a 5-year non-GAAP operating earnings CAGR of 6% to 8% through 2030, supported by a $24 billion to $28 billion capital plan funded without new equity.

• Anticipates filing a new base rate case by year-end 2026 to update cost of service and align with the state's evolving regulatory framework under Executive Order 1.

• Future growth assumes potential upside from contracting nuclear output under multiyear agreements and incremental investments to connect solar and battery storage.

• Guidance for 2027 and beyond incorporates the anticipated loss of the 50 basis point RTO transmission incentive, estimated as an $0.08 per share annual headwind.

Regulatory and Market Dynamics

• PJM capacity auction prices reached the $325 per megawatt-day collar, signaling a significant reliability requirement shortfall that may persist through mid-2030.

• A favorable PJM transmission cost allocation change effective June 1, 2026, is expected to provide an annual prospective benefit of approximately $65 million to zonal customers, with a $33 million benefit realized in the second half of 2026.

• The Power New Jersey Act establishes a state-backed procurement process for at least 1,100 megawatts of nuclear, positioning PSEG's Salem County site for potential development.

• Management highlighted that while they support new nuclear, a successful framework requires an appropriate allocation of project risk to protect the balance sheet.

Rationale for accelerated base rate case filing timeline

• Management explained that filing by year-end 2026 aligns the company with the state's goal for greater transparency and performance-based ratemaking.

• The move prevents PSEG from becoming a regulatory outlier as other New Jersey utilities update their rates and the BPU moves into Phase 2 of its modernization study.

Risk profile and return targets for new generation projects

• Management emphasized they are only pursuing 'utility-like' returns for generation projects, meaning they will avoid high-risk market exposures in favor of contracted or regulated-style structures.

• They indicated that the PJM Reliability Backstop Procurement (RBP) process might offer the type of long-term PPA or utility-like agreements that fit their risk appetite.

Interest from data centers and large load customers

• Management noted continued interest but no major 'inflection' in demand, as customers are currently waiting for more clarity on PJM's new reliability and interconnection rules.

• There is a noted preference among large loads for pairing new demand with incremental generation, though nuclear remains a long-term (12-year) solution rather than a near-term fix.
