Computed from the rates on this page at 30.4 days a month. The same arithmetic is checked against the utility's own published typical bill on every build. Delivery plus this utility's default supply. A customer who switched supplier pays the delivery part and their supplier's rate instead.
Before taxes, franchise fees and any local surcharge.

Public Service Electric and Gas Company, B.P.U.N.J. No. 17 - ELECTRIC, effective 07-15-26.
EXCLUDES New Jersey Sales and Use Tax, at 6.625%. PSE&G files every charge twice, with and without SUT, and this catalogue excludes taxes everywhere - so the figures here are the lower of each printed pair. PSE&G's own customer summary insert prints the tax-INCLUSIVE column only, so the two sources disagree by 6.625% by design. Do not mix them.
All fifteen transcribed pairs reconcile against their tax-inclusive column at exactly 6.625%, which is asserted at build time.
NEW JERSEY IS DEREGULATED. A customer buys supply either from a Third Party Supplier or from PSE&G's Basic Generation Service default service. The BGS Energy & Capacity and BGS Transmission charges are included here, so this is the bill for a customer who has NOT switched. A customer on a third-party supplier pays the delivery charges and adjustments only.
Eight per-kWh adjustment charges apply, netting to 0.7483 c/kWh. THREE ARE CREDITS filed negative: non-utility generation (-$0.000061), zero emission certificate recovery (-$0.004000) and the tax adjustment credit (-$0.007281). Reading any of them as positive overstates the bill, and the tax adjustment credit alone is 0.73 c/kWh.
The Societal Benefits Charge is the one adjustment whose ex-SUT figure is not printed directly: its sheet lists components and a partial sub-total, then gives the per-voltage-class totals tax-inclusive only. Secondary Service is $0.011365 including SUT, so $0.010659 is used. Every other pair in the tariff confirms that exact divisor.
THE PRICE TO COMPARE IS SUPERSEDED AND STILL FETCHES. It gives the RS BGS transmission charge as $0.060016; the filed tariff gives $0.064507. It is headed 'Proposed Rates Effective on and after June 1, 2026' and the tariff sheet is effective 07-15-26. Both documents fetch and both look like PSE&G rates. Every figure here comes from the tariff.
The BGS Reconciliation Charge is EXCLUDED. It varies over time and is published separately from both the tariff and the Price to Compare, which states that it excludes it too. A real bill is higher by it.
Summer is June through September; winter is all other months.
NOT RECONCILED against a published total. PSE&G publishes no worked sample bill. The tax-inclusive column is a check on transcription, not on whether the right components were assembled.
The standard residential rate. RS-TOU Three Period is the time-of-use alternative and is encoded alongside it.
TIERED AT 600 kWh A MONTH, BUT ONLY IN SUMMER. October through May, distribution is $0.045007 and BGS energy is $0.121097 in BOTH tiers - the boundary does nothing for eight months of the year. Only June through September splits.
The distribution table words the boundary as 'First 600 HOURS USED', not kWh. The BGS sheet writes the same boundary on the same schedule as 'RS - first 600 kWh', which is what fixes the unit; 'hours used' appears five times in this tariff, all in residential schedules, and is defined nowhere.
NOT ENCODED: Rate Schedule RHS Residential Heating Service, Rate RLM Residential Load Management, and the WH and WHS water heating schedules. All are filed in the same tariff and readable the same way; none was in scope for this pass.
