JCP&L base distribution rate case JCP&L (Jersey Central Power and Light), NJ
Pending Base rate case

JCP&L is asking to raise base delivery rates but has proposed offsetting the impact for residential customers until 2028, so this would not show up on typical bills right away even if approved.

Recent decisions

JCP&L Basic Generation Service price jump, June 2025 JCP&L (Jersey Central Power and Light), NJ
On bills now Supply and capacity price From Jun 2025

This is a default electric supply price increase from the statewide auction, not a JCP&L delivery rate case; shopping for a competitive supplier avoids it.

+$26a month, est.
PSE&G Basic Generation Service price jump, June 2025 Public Service Electric and Gas, NJ
On bills now Supply and capacity price From Jun 2025

If you buy default electric supply through PSE&G rather than a third-party supplier, this auction result is why your total bill jumped in mid-2025; it is a supply cost, not a PSE&G delivery rate increase.

+$22a month, est.
