COVID-19 has led to financial hardship for many businesses. PSE&G is committed to supporting their customers as we all move forward and recover together from this pandemic and its impact on our economy.
In recognition of the challenges faced by PSE&G’s business customers, the utility voluntarily suspended shut-off of service for nonpayment in March 2020. PSE&G was the only utility in New Jersey that extended the state-issued moratorium on shut-offs to business customers, providing relief at that critical time for businesses. The utility is now preparing to resume normal collection activity, including suspension of service where necessary.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) on Monday urged Illinois consumers to contact their utility companies to take advantage of consumer protections available to them due to the pandemic. If you are struggling to pay your bills, immediately contact your utility to find out what protections are available, and set up a plan to prevent disconnection, CUB Executive Director David Kolata said. These protections are available for a limited time and only for customers who call their utility and state they are experiencing financial hardship because of the pandemic.
In June, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) approved landmark consumer protections negotiated by a coalition of consumer advocates including CUB and these utilities: Ameren Illinois, Aqua Illinois, ComEd, Illinois American, Nicor Gas, North Shore Gas, Peoples Gas and Utilities Inc.
