NEWARK, N.J., December 15, 2025 /3BL/ – PSEG Long Island and Public Service Electric & Gas, New Jersey’s largest utility, were the two highest ranked utilities in customer satisfaction among large electric utility business customers in the East, according to the J.D. Power 2025 Electric Utility Business Customer Satisfaction Study^SM. PSEG Long Island took the #1 spot, capping off an 11-year rise from the bottom of the survey rankings when PSEG took over operation of the electric grid in 2014, making it the most most-improved electric service provider in the nation. Meanwhile, PSE&G received the #2 ranking, rising from the #5 spot in 2024.

Ralph LaRossa, PSEG chair, president and CEO, congratulated both the PSEG Long Island and PSE&G teams for their recognition by J.D. Power, noting the achievements were earned through collaboration, trust, and shared commitment to serving our customers.

“It’s also a testimony of the power and strength of the PSEG brand, which stands for a proud tradition of providing safe and reliable energy to customers since 1903,” said LaRossa. “A tradition that the workforces on Long Island as well as in New Jersey embody every single day.”

“These collective results reflect the value of PSEG and our continued focus on delivering exceptional customer service,” said Kim Hanemann, PSE&G President and Chief Operating Officer. “We thank our business customers for trusting us to meet their evolving energy needs.”

J.D. Power surveyed 18,132 business customers nationwide. The “Large East” category of the study includes major electric utilities operating in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

“Since we started in 2014, PSEG Long Island has worked nonstop to improve the experience for the 1.2 million electric customers we serve on Long Island and in the Rockaways—including more than 130,000 commercial customers,” said David Lyons, interim president and COO of PSEG Long Island. “After a decade of diligent improvements leveraging the expertise of PSE&G, it is a true honor to be ranked highest in business customer satisfaction among utilities in 12 states.”

PSE&G works hard to be a trusted energy advisor for our business customers. This year we launched Business Connect, an initiative that includes webinars, events and door-to door visits.

We know our business customers have unique needs, and we have a dedicated call center of trained professional to respond to their questions and concerns.  We also provide a monthly newsletter with information on saving energy and money, convenient digital customer service options, and our variety of energy efficiency programs.

“At PSE&G, we are committed to putting our customers at the heart of everything we do,” said Dave Johnson, senior vice president, chief customer experience officer at PSE&G. “We work hard to connect with them and provide programs, tools and resources to help manage energy use and costs.”

PSEG Long Island offers many programs and incentives for business customers, including free energy assessments; economic development grants and bill credit programs; energy efficiency rebates, and electric vehicle (EV) and EV charger incentives. PSEG Long Island also launched several economic development initiatives in 2018, providing more than $2.8 million since then to support local business owners through our Business First Program. This Program includes the Main Street Revitalization grants, Vacant Space Revival program, and Community Thrive Program grant.

She Leads Bharat: Udyam (SLB:U), a Mastercard Strive initiative implemented by Frontier Markets in collaboration with Airtel Payments Bank, aims to diversify and elevate the incomes of rural women-owned micro and small enterprises (MSEs) through a technology platform. Between August 2023 and February 2025, the initiative successfully onboarded 15,000 women MSEs onto the Meri Saheli app through which they earn commissions for products and services sold. Ten thousand have also been onboarded as women banking correspondents (BCs) on Airtel Payments Bank’s Mitra app through which they earn commissions for banking transactions conducted for customers at the last mile.

SLB:U sits at the intersection of helping rural women entrepreneurs find stable and diversified income sources while also addressing the significant opportunity for scalable last mile delivery. It strengthens last mile distribution while improving economic mobility for women. Early evidence suggests that user-centric technology coupled with comprehensive training programs and sustained support, diversified products and services, and community networks can enable income elevation and resilience while serving rural communities in a replicable and scalable manner.

PITTSBURGH, December 15, 2025 /3BL/ – Wesco International (NYSE:WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions, in a joint effort with Liberty Latin America, a leading communications company operating in over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, are providing support and relief to communities in Jamaica recovering in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

Leveraging a Hurricane Response Plan developed by both organizations after Hurricane Maria in 2017, teams from Wesco and Liberty Latin America quickly mobilized their relief efforts, delivering critical aid and restoring essential communications for thousands of Jamaican residents.

Wesco collaborated with Liberty Latin America to not only supply the products to rebuild damaged communications networks, but also to provide food, water, and humanitarian supplies for their employees and communities.

The relief effort then began to unfold, focusing initially on providing humanitarian supplies. Generators, food, water, baby formula, tarps, and blankets were all shipped to needed areas within 48 hours. Immediately following this priority, emergency and network rebuild materials made their way to facilities to help restore connectivity, including fiber optic cables, closures, scaffolding, wireless equipment, and other outside plant materials.

Hand-in-hand throughout these operations, Liberty Latin America identified all needed products, funneled and streamlined requests through a centralized team, coordinated international transportation (including the chartering of at least one cargo plane), and assisted in product sourcing; while Wesco handled the sourcing, procuring, and acquisition of humanitarian products from local retailers, transportation from store(s) to Wesco’s Miami warehouse, and both onsite deliveries and local humanitarian product acquisition in Jamaica.

“The dedication shown by our teams was nothing short of extraordinary,” said Rick Arsenault, Wesco Vice President and General Manager, Global Service Providers, Broadband and Wireless. “Employees from Wesco and Liberty Latin America worked tirelessly and at incredible speed to ensure critical materials reached those in need. Their commitment to helping communities recover from Hurricane Melissa reflects the very best of what we stand for.”

Nicolas Duffau, VP, Procurement & Global Supply Chain for Liberty Latin America, commented, “Working collaboratively with the Wesco team, we mobilized immediate support to aid the communities most affected by Hurricane Melissa. We’re proud to stand alongside our partners in accelerating recovery efforts and helping our communities in Jamaica rebuild even stronger than before.”

Wesco would like to extend its deepest sympathies to all residents affected by Hurricane Melissa, as well as gratitude to the leaders and business partners that made this a priority. These efforts would not have been possible without their dedication and support. Thoughts and support continue to be with the people and communities of this region as they rebuild.
