What the law lets you do
BGS or a competitive supplier, your call
Since 1999, NJ households in IOU territory can pick where their kilowatt-hours come from. The utility still owns the wires.
Stay on BGS
If you do nothing, your IOU supplies the kWh at the auction-priced Basic Generation Service rate. Locked in for the year, resets 1 June.
- ✓No contract, no termination fee.
- ✓Annual reset 1 June, predictable for a year.
- !Year-on-year jumps possible — BGS rate followed PJM wholesale spikes after 2021-2022.
Pick a TPS
A BPU-licensed Third Party Supplier (or your town's Government Energy Aggregation program) replaces the supply line of your bill. Delivery stays with your IOU.
- ✓Fixed-rate offers lock you in against BGS jumps.
- ✓Renewable-energy options widely available.
- !Read every contract for variable-after-intro pricing and termination fees.
Note: retail choice does not apply in NJ municipal-utility towns (South River, Vineland, Pemberton, etc.).

For outages and gas leaks, always call your delivery utility, never your supplier.
Quick answers
The questions NJ households ask before calling their utility.
Call your utility at least three business days before move-in. PSE&G: 1-800-436-7734. JCP&L: 1-800-662-3115. ACE: 1-800-833-7476. Rockland Electric: 1-877-434-4100. Have your address, ID and SSN ready. You start on BGS by default — you can switch to a competitive supplier any time after the meter is in your name.
Yes, if you live in PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE or Rockland Electric territory. NJ opened retail choice in 1999. Compare BPU-licensed Third Party Suppliers via our directory or the state-run NJpowerswitch.com. Municipal-utility customers (South River, Vineland, etc.) do not have retail choice.
Every 1 June. Each IOU runs its own BGS auction in February. The winning wholesale price is locked in for the year and flows straight through to residential and small-commercial customers on default service.
A NJ municipality (or group of municipalities) bulk-buys electricity supply on behalf of its residents and enrolls them by default. You can opt out at any time without fees. GEA replaces the BGS line on your bill — delivery stays with PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE or Rockland.
Always your delivery utility, 24/7. PSE&G: 1-800-436-7734. JCP&L: 1-888-544-4877. ACE: 1-800-833-7476. Rockland Electric: 1-877-660-0127.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) regulates IOU delivery rates, licenses Third Party Suppliers and approves the annual BGS auctions. The NJ Division of Rate Counsel advocates for residential ratepayers. The BPU runs NJpowerswitch.com.
