New Jersey's answer is almost uniform: PSE&G delivers both electricity and gas across every one of the state's biggest cities we've sampled, from Newark to Camden. What varies is the choice on top of that delivery — New Jersey runs a full retail electric market, so you pick your own supplier while PSE&G's wires and pipes stay the same either way. Water is the real local variable.

From our address-level sampling of 1 New Jersey city (2026-07-20). "Most common in" counts the cities where that provider was the leading answer.
| Utility | Provider | Most common in |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ Electricity | PSE&G | Newark |
| 🔥 Natural gas | PSE&G | Newark |
| 💧 Water | Newark Water Department | Newark |
PSE&G is about as close to a single answer as New Jersey gets — it delivered electricity at every sampled address across Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison, Trenton, Camden and Clifton, and supplies natural gas directly at most of them too. That's unusual density for one company across a state this populous.
The wrinkle is that New Jersey runs full retail electric choice: PSE&G owns the wires and reads the meter, but you're free to shop for a different company to actually supply your electricity. Water breaks the PSE&G pattern entirely — Paterson and Clifton both draw from the Passaic Valley Water Commission, but most cities run their own water department, so that's the account worth double-checking at the address level.
City-by-city breakdowns of who provides electricity, gas, water and sewer:
PSE&G delivered electricity at every address we've sampled across Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison, Trenton, Camden and Clifton. It's the utility that owns the wires and reads your meter regardless of which retail supplier bills you — run the lookup to confirm your specific address.
Yes — New Jersey runs a deregulated retail electric market statewide. PSE&G still delivers the power and remains the utility of record, but you're free to shop around for a different company to supply the electricity itself.
In most of the cities we've sampled — Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton, Camden and Clifton — yes, PSE&G delivers natural gas directly alongside electricity. Confirm with the lookup, since not every New Jersey city follows that exact pattern.
It varies more than electric or gas does. Paterson and Clifton both draw water from the Passaic Valley Water Commission, but most other cities run their own municipal water department instead. Check your specific address with the lookup rather than assuming one citywide answer.
