PSEG Marks Earth Day by Highlighting Environmental Initiatives that Support and Care for Our Communities
NEWARK, N.J., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This Earth Day, PSEG is highlighting how we live up to our "Public Service" name through environmental initiatives that benefit the communities we serve. PSEG aims to deliver safe, reliable energy and be thoughtful about how we show up for New Jersey, how our work benefits our environment and how we can care for the places where we operate.
"As we recognize Earth Day, we're reminded that caring for the environment is core to the success of our business," said Rick Thigpen, Senior Vice President – Corporate Citizenship. "Whether we're reducing emissions, protecting wildlife habitats or helping customers lower their energy use through our energy efficiency programs, our environmental stewardship efforts are rooted in our responsibility to the communities we serve. We're proud of the positive impact our work has on New Jersey families, businesses and the environment."
PSEG's 2025 environmental efforts include:
PSEG also provides stewardship of important natural resources like the Merrill Creek Reservoir and the estuarial regions of South Jersey and Delaware while operating nuclear plants that produce more than 80 percent of New Jersey's carbon-free electricity and 40 percent of all electricity generated in the state. These facilities will continue to play a critical role in delivering reliable, affordable and clean energy for years to come.
