PSEG Long Island Elevates Business Customer Experience

Introduced in 2024, PSEG Long Island’s Business First initiative encompasses a utility-wide commitment to supporting local businesses’ vitality through simplified access to energy efficiency, economic development incentives, and account support. Building the Business First platform required departmental collaboration to unify around a shared goal of delivering a small and midsize businesses-tailored customer experience and a consistent branded customer outreach strategy across numerous channels. A key element of the platform is the Business First Advocate team of employee ambassadors, who champion the needs of business customers and strengthen the awareness of available resources. PSEG Long Island’s holistic business customer-centric approach has generated tangible economic benefits for businesses, revitalized downtown communities, enhanced grid efficiency, improved customer satisfaction, and strengthened PSEG Long Island’s role as a supportive business partner.
