(NEWARK, N.J. – March 29, 2023) — For the second consecutive year, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest utility with 2.3 million electric customers and 1.9 million gas customers, has received the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award in the Energy Efficiency Program Delivery category from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy.

PSE&G was honored for demonstrating exemplary commitment and dedication to leadership in energy efficiency and to the ENERGY STAR program. The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award in Energy Efficiency Program Delivery is bestowed on organizations for sponsoring energy efficiency programs that improve the efficiency of products, homes, and buildings within their community or territory. The award was announced earlier today. 

“PSE&G is proud to continue its partnership with ENERGY STAR as we work to bring energy efficiency to every one of our customers," said Karen Reif, vice president of Renewables and Energy Solutions at PSE&G. “We are honored to once again be recognized for our commitment to a clean energy future.”

PSE&G offers residential customers several ways to purchase energy-efficient equipment at discounted prices, as part of PSE&G’s comprehensive residential energy efficiency portfolio. PSE&G offers instant discounts on select ENERGY STAR LED bulbs and fixtures at the point of sale, either in-store at participating retailers or online through the PSE&G Marketplace. PSE&G also promotes ENERGY STAR certified appliances, HVAC equipment, smart thermostats, and water heating equipment. 

In addition, PSE&G offers the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, which can help customers improve the energy efficiency of their homes and reduce energy bills. As part of the process, participants receive a comprehensive home energy assessment performed by a certified energy expert. Depending on the assessment results, customers can qualify for up to $5,000* in rebates to make energy-saving home improvements, as well as be eligible for up to $25,000 in interest-free on-bill repayment to help pay for the upgrades.

“As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change, public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of our ambition,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “I applaud this year’s ENERGY STAR award winners for working with EPA to deliver a clean energy future that saves American consumers and businesses money and creates jobs.”
