PSEG presented its strategic direction for its Energy Holdings and Resources divisions. For Energy Holdings, the objectives are to focus on continued earnings and cash generation from existing international generation and distribution assets, selectively dispose of assets over 5 years to reduce exposure, and explore both private and public sale opportunities. For Resources, the objectives are continued earnings and cash flow from its primarily investment-grade energy lease portfolio and to monitor credit quality. PSEG aims to reduce leverage, maintain investment-grade credit ratings, preserve liquidity, and generate free cash flow across its businesses.
