About Energy Choice in Woodbridge
Woodbridge Township — a patchwork of ten distinct communities including Iselin, Colonia, Avenel, Fords and Port Reading — is one of the New Jersey markets where electric and gas delivery come from two different utilities. PSE&G owns the poles and wires that feed every ZIP in the township, and Elizabethtown Gas operates the natural gas distribution network across most of Woodbridge's neighborhoods.
Because Woodbridge sits along the Northeast Corridor and the Garden State Parkway, its housing stock varies dramatically block to block — from 1950s Cape Cods in Avenel to newer transit-oriented apartments around Metropark. Usage patterns follow the housing: a detached home in Colonia often pulls 900+ kWh in July, while a Metropark apartment can run half that. Shopping without a recent bill in hand is guessing.
For electric supply, competitive Third Party Suppliers compete against PSE&G's Basic Generation Service — the auction-set default rate that resets each June. Locking a fixed-rate contract before a scheduled BGS reset is a common Woodbridge play, especially for households that saw a step-up on last summer's bill.
Gas supply is a separate contract shopped against Elizabethtown Gas's default supply rate rather than PSE&G's. Elizabethtown Gas still delivers the fuel and responds to leaks; the supplier switch only changes the commodity portion of the bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Woodbridge's electric utility?
PSE&G is the electric distribution utility for every Woodbridge Township address, from Iselin and Colonia to Sewaren and Port Reading. PSE&G handles meter reads, line repairs and outage response regardless of which supplier you choose.
Who provides natural gas service in Woodbridge?
Elizabethtown Gas is the natural gas distribution utility for most Woodbridge Township neighborhoods. Gas Choice contracts in Woodbridge are shopped against Elizabethtown Gas's default supply rate, not PSE&G's.
How do I compare supplier rates against PSE&G in Woodbridge?
Measure any competitive fixed rate against PSE&G's current Basic Generation Service rate — that's the number you'd pay if you never shopped. The NJ Power Switch site maintained by the Board of Public Utilities lists supplier offers side by side.
Does switching suppliers change service in Woodbridge?
No. The switch is filed electronically and takes effect on the next PSE&G or Elizabethtown Gas meter read. Same wires, same pipes, same emergency numbers — only the supply line on the bill changes.
What if I lose power in Woodbridge?
Call PSE&G at 1-800-436-7734. Outage restoration in Woodbridge is always PSE&G's responsibility, whether you're on BGS or a Third Party Supplier.
