New analysis highlights broader statewide benefits of 2025 program activity, including jobs, wages and tax revenue
NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PSE&G's energy efficiency programs are helping participating customers save energy and manage costs while also generating broader economic benefits across New Jersey, according to a new economic impact analysis conducted by E Source.
Commissioned by PSE&G, the analysis found that every $1 invested in the utility's energy efficiency program generated $2.85 in economic output. Projects completed in 2025 generated more than $1.15 billion in total economic output. The analysis also found approximately $467 million in associated wages and $164 million in local, state and federal tax revenue across New Jersey.
The findings build on the measurable benefits PSE&G's energy efficiency programs are already delivering for residential and business customers. In July, PSE&G highlighted the bill savings impact of the programs for participating customers, including helping them save over $1 billion while reducing energy use and better managing energy costs.
This new analysis looks beyond those direct customer benefits to provide a broader view of how energy efficiency investments contribute to New Jersey's economy.
"Energy efficiency starts with delivering real value for our customers," said Lauren Thomas, vice-president, PSE&G Clean Energy Solutions – Customer Solutions. "These findings show that the value of the programs extends beyond bill savings to support economic activity across New Jersey, creating benefits for businesses, workers and communities throughout the state."
The analysis focused on PSE&G Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency II projects completed during calendar year 2025. Approximately $404.5 million in portfolio investment was modeled, representing approximately 60,000 participating customers and 75,000 projects.
Nearly half of the $1.15 billion in economic output came from the direct impact of program investments and customer projects. The remaining value came through supply-chain activity and household spending associated with wages and energy bill savings, showing how program investments generate additional economic activity statewide.
2025 Economic Impact
E Source's analysis found that PSE&G energy efficiency projects completed in 2025 generated:
- $2.85 in economic output for every $1 invested
- More than $1.15 billion in total economic output
- Approximately 4,737 jobs supported
- 11.7 jobs supported for every $1 million invested
- Approximately $467 million in related wages
- Approximately $164 million in related local, state and federal tax revenue
PSE&G commissioned E Source to conduct the study using IMPLAN, an industry-standard economic modeling framework that incorporates New Jersey-specific economic relationships. The analysis examined economic activity associated with program expenditures, participant investments and energy savings, including direct, supply-chain and household-spending impacts.
