NEWARK, N.J., June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On the first official day of summer, Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G), New Jersey's largest utility, reminds customers that higher temperatures can also lead to more usage and higher electric bills. Customers can save energy and money this summer by following a few easy and inexpensive tips.
Prepared for Additional Power DemandPSE&G expects to have no problem delivering the additional power required during the hot-weather months, but utility crews will be ready to respond to service interruptions should they occur. PSE&G's rigorous, year-round preparedness program for summer includes conducting employee training; developing emergency summer operating plans; performing summer peak reliability analysis; helicopter and climbing inspections of transmission circuits; infrared inspections for "hot-spots" on transmission lines; and system reinforcements and transmission line work.

Also, PSE&G offers customers the option of setting up a no-cost, equal payment plan. More information on these programs can be found at www.pseg.com/help.
