PSE&G Transfers Generation Assets to Affiliate

LCG, Aug. 22, 2000--Public Service Electric & Gas Co. said yesterday that it has transferred its electric generating facilities to PSEG Power, an unregulated power producing affiliate. The transfer was made in conformance with the companys restructuring order issued by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

The power plants and other assets will be transferred at the price specified in the order, which is $2.443 billion plus $242 million for other generating related assets such as fuel, materials, and supplies.

If a court decision upholding the Boards restructuring and securitization orders regarding PSE&G is modified by an appeal now before the New Jersey Supreme Court, PSE&G and PSEG Power will execute a supplemental agreement to reflect any change in the value of the assets.

PSE&G said the transfer was completed within the year allowed by the Board of Public Utilities.
