Edison Township Power Shopping: Alternatives to PSE&G's BGS Rate

Switch Both Electric + Gas in Edison — Save $140+/year
Edison is in a dual fuel deregulated state. You can switch both your electricity AND natural gas provider. Most customers who switch both save $140 or more per year.
About Energy Choice in Edison
Middlesex County's largest township is served end-to-end by PSE&G — a single utility for both electricity and natural gas — which makes Edison one of the simpler New Jersey markets to shop. Delivery, meter reads and emergency response never change; the only line on your bill that competitive suppliers touch is the supply charge.
The number to beat on the electric side is PSE&G's Basic Generation Service (BGS) rate. New Jersey procures BGS through an annual descending-clock auction supervised by the Board of Public Utilities, and the clearing price becomes the default supply rate every June. Edison residents who never shop are automatically enrolled on BGS at whatever that auction produced.
Edison's housing stock leans toward mid-century single-family homes in Stelton, Clara Barton and Menlo Park, plus a growing wave of apartments near the train station and along Route 1. That mix matters when you shop: larger detached homes typically benchmark against the 1,000+ kWh usage tier, while transit-oriented apartments often land closer to 500 kWh — a difference big enough that the best plan changes with the address.
On the gas side, PSE&G's Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) plays the same role BGS does for electric. Because both defaults are set by the same utility, an Edison household can meaningfully shop both fuels at once and see the swap on a single consolidated PSE&G statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who delivers electricity and gas in Edison, NJ?
PSE&G is the delivery utility for both electricity and natural gas in Edison Township. PSE&G maintains the wires, mains and meters and handles all emergency response regardless of which Third Party Supplier you pick.
What is PSE&G's Basic Generation Service in Edison?
BGS is the default electric supply rate charged to Edison customers who haven't shopped. It's set through an annual New Jersey BPU auction and takes effect every June for the following twelve months.
Can I shop natural gas separately in Edison?
Yes. New Jersey has natural gas Choice, and PSE&G's Basic Gas Supply Service is the default rate to beat. You can pick different suppliers for electric and gas, or the same supplier for both — PSE&G continues to deliver either way.
Will my Edison bill look different after switching?
PSE&G still bills you. The supply section simply shows your new supplier's name and rate instead of BGS or BGSS. Delivery, taxes and Societal Benefits Charges stay on PSE&G's side of the ledger.
What if the power goes out in Edison after I switch?
Call PSE&G at 1-800-436-PSEG (1-800-436-7734). Outage response in Edison is always PSE&G's job — Third Party Suppliers have no crews and no role in restoring power.
