NEWARK, N.J., June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With temperatures expected to climb this weekend and into next week, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasting above-average temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic this summeri, PSE&G is prepared and is encouraging customers to take steps now to stay safe, conserve energy and manage their bills.
Temperatures in the upper 90s and over 100 degrees are expected this weekend and into next week with the National Weather Service predicting the first significant heat wave of the seasonii. Additionally, the Northeast is likely to experience higher-than-normal heat through June and the rest of the summer—a trend that can increase the risk of heat-related illness, higher energy use and power outages.
“Were expecting another hot summer, which can put real stress on both people and the electric system,” said John Latka, senior vice president, electric operations, PSE&G. “PSE&G works all year long to ensure our operations and transmission and distribution systems are prepared and our workforce is ready to deliver when extreme weather hits. We are responsible for delivering the power to our customers and we take this responsibility very seriously.”
Each year, PSE&G invests to strengthen and modernize our system – from the large transmission lines that bring the power to the substations to the wires that lead down the street to your home and business.
PSE&G relies on and expects the regional grid operator, PJM, to ensure the flow of adequate electric supply to meet customer demand all year long and when extreme weather hits – like the upcoming heatwave. PJMs responsibility is especially critical in New Jersey where approximately 35% of our power comes from outside the state.
Before the temperature rises, we encourage our customers to know how to stay safe and comfortable, while also taking control of their energy bills.
If a customer (or a member of the household) rely on electricity to operate life-sustaining medical equipment, they should notify PSE&G. To learn more visit pseg.com/life or call 1800-436-7734. Customers should also have a backup plan in case of an outage.
“PSE&G has a number of programs that help families and businesses use less energy and stay cool as well as programs that facilitate access to payment assistance options and help customers manage their bills,” said Dave Johnson, senior vice president, chief customer experience officer, PSE&G. “Were here to help and customers should reach out if they need assistance and even just to learn what else they can be doing to reduce or manage their energy bills.”
Did you know: The amount of electricity needed to cool your house to 75 degrees when its 90 degrees outside is 125% higher than when its 85 degrees outside. And, the amount of electricity needed to cool your house to 75 degrees when its 95 outside is 300% higher than when its 85 outside.
Thats why hot weather often leads to increased energy use as we run our air conditioners more.
PSE&G customers are taking advantage of energy efficiency programs to manage and reduce their energy use. So far, customers haveiii:

PSE&G prepares for summer storms with additional crews to respond safely and quickly. Customers can prepare by keeping PSE&Gs contact info handy to stay connected in extreme weather:
PSE&G works directly with our customers, and with nonprofits and community organizations who work with utility customers, to inform them about energy assistance options. We provide information regarding affordability options that customers may qualify for based on certain criteria like income eligibility (i.e. the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program [LIHEAP], or SHARES for customers who may be experiencing a temporary financial crisis).
PSE&G also offers bill payment tools to help customers manage costs, including PSE&Gs Equal Payment Plan and Deferred Payment Arrangements. PSE&Gs Equal Payment Plan estimates annual energy costs, and divides bills into 12 equal monthly payments, which allows customers to levelize their monthly spend expectations. Deferred Payment Arrangements allow customers to pay a portion of past-due balances over an agreed-upon period.
