How do I become accredited as a Third Party Supplier?

As a third-party supplier, you must be certified and/or licensed by the BPU in accordance with BPU regulations and procedures. Electric suppliers must also execute the appropriate PJM and FERC applications, credit reviews and agreements that are appropriate to the levels and types of business you plan to conduct with PJM.

In order to become eligible to participate in retail access by serving the loads of customers located within PSE&G electric service territory, the TPS must be accredited by PSE&G.

As part of the accreditation process each TPS must complete and mail the TPS application (copy attached in Appendix B of the TPS Operating Manual) available on this website and provide the required documentation listed on page three (3) of the application to:

PSE&G Retail Business Services
Attn.: Manager - Financial and Risk Management
80 Park Plaza, T-18

We received usage for an area lighting account, but the meter reading indexes are missing, Why?

There are no readings because there is no meter. Lighting is unmetered and billed on a size/hour’s used equation.

I want to be clear on the definition of the "price to compare."

The "price to compare" is comprised of three components; Energy price, Generation obligation price and Transmission obligation price for the customer's monthly KWHR usage.
