Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) officially released its 2026 Sustainability Report, offering a comprehensive look at the company’s progress in strengthening energy infrastructure, advancing environmental stewardship, and supporting customers and communities across its service territory.
The report details PSEG’s ongoing initiatives to balance reliability, affordability, and sustainability as regional energy needs evolve. Highlights include significant reductions in operational emissions, multi-million dollar community investments, and high marks for customer satisfaction and grid resiliency.
“For more than 120 years, PSEG has been a partner to the communities we serve,” Ralph LaRossa, chair, president, and CEO of PSEG, said. “A lot has changed during that time, but our responsibility has remained consistent: provide the reliable energy our customers depend on, keep it as affordable as possible and invest wisely for the future.”
