History and Development
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated traces its origins to 1903, when the company was established in New Jersey to supply electricity and natural gas to rapidly growing urban and industrial communities.
During its early decades, the company expanded its infrastructure by integrating smaller local utilities and building generation and distribution networks.
Throughout the twentieth century, PSEG continued to grow through investments in power generation, transmission systems and service diversification.
A significant milestone occurred in 1948, when the company completed its initial public offering (IPO), providing additional capital to support infrastructure development and operational expansion.
In 2000, PSEG created PSEG Power, a subsidiary focused on electricity generation and participation in competitive wholesale energy markets.
In recent years, the company has increased investments in renewable energy, grid modernization and energy-efficiency programs, while adjusting its generation portfolio to align with evolving environmental regulations and long-term energy-transition trends.
