At June 30, 2026, NJNG serviced approximately 595,000 customers in New Jersey’s Monmouth, Ocean, Morris, Middlesex, Sussex and Burlington counties, compared to approximately 589,000 customers as of September 30, 2025.
|
| • |
On June 1, 2026, NJNG submitted its annual Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS), Conservation
Incentive Program (CIP) and Energy-Efficiency filings to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) that, taken together, would provide customers with an 8.9% reduction in customer bills in advance of the 2026-2027 winter season – a
$158 annual savings for the average residential customer – and bill stability while seeking recovery for investments in the continued delivery of safe, reliable natural gas service, which is the most affordable energy to heat homes and
businesses.
|
| • |
Also, on June 1, 2026, NJNG filed a base rate case with the BPU, seeking a $157.6 million
increase to its base rates. The filing is based on an overall rate of return on rate base of 7.60 percent with a return on common equity of 10.10 percent. The proposed increase reflects a 55.50 percent common equity component.
|
| • |
Once all filings are implemented, NJNG anticipates that the overall net result will leave NJNG annualized average customer bills nearly flat compared to today’s rates. Unless
otherwise noted, NJNG cannot predict the outcome or ultimate resolution for open regulatory matters.
|
| • |
BGSS incentive programs contributed $20.4 million to utility gross margin during the first nine months of fiscal 2026, compared with $14.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily driven by
increased margins from off-system sales and capacity release due to market volatility as a result of colder weather.
|
| • |
SAVEGREEN® invested $78.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 in energy-efficiency upgrades for customers' homes and businesses. Investments in SAVEGREEN® are incremental to rate base and earn near-real
time returns through an annual recovery mechanism.
|
| • |
More than 115,000 customers have taken part in SAVEGREEN® to date, with those utilizing our whole home offerings realizing bill savings of up to 30%.
|
| • |
During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, CEV placed eight commercial projects into service, adding 57.8 megawatts (MW)* to installed capacity.
|
| • |
As of June 30, 2026, CEV had approximately 537MW of commercial solar capacity in service across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Michigan.
|
| • |
During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, capital expenditures were $553.0 million, including accruals, compared with $456.8 million during the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in capital expenditures was
primarily due to higher expenditures at NJNG and CEV.
|
| • |
NJR expects to deploy between $4.8 billion and $5.2 billion in capital expenditures through 2030, with utility spending at NJNG representing over 60% of the investment, all planned CEV capital expenditures safe-harbored to preserve tax credit
eligibility, and strategic growth opportunities at S&T supporting long-term value creation.
|
| • |
During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, cash flows from operations increased to $577.8 million, compared to cash flows from operations of $385.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2025, due primarily to an increase in financial margin at ES and higher base rates at NJNG.
|
| • |
New Jersey Natural Gas, NJR’s principal subsidiary, operates and maintains natural gas transportation and distribution infrastructure to serve customers in New Jersey’s Monmouth, Ocean, Morris, Middlesex, Sussex and Burlington

with low-carbon solutions.
|
| • |

assets and provides physical natural gas services and customized energy solutions to its customers across North America.
|
| • |

electric generators and wholesale marketers through its ownership of Leaf River and the Adelphia Gateway pipeline, as well as our 50% equity ownership in
the Steckman Ridge natural gas storage facility.
|
| • |
