PSE&G and the Utility of the Future

Wednesday, Jan. 27 | 1 p.m. Central

It is a time of significant change in the power sector in New Jersey, with the governor setting clean energy mandates and the state’s Board of Public Utilities articulating an Energy Master Plan. Public Service Electric & Gas Co.’s Utility of the Future Strategy is intended to guide its operating and investment principles so it can support shifting requirements and its own sustainability objectives. In this webinar, we will explore how PSE&G plans to transform its transmission and distribution systems over the next decade and beyond to meet future demand via initiatives such as intelligent substations, grid modernization and expanded system capacity, enabling the connection of more distributed energy resources (DERs) and electric vehicle loads.
