PSEG Executive Vice President and General Counsel Tamara L. Linde to Retire

NEWARK - As part of a planned succession process, PSEG announced today that Executive Vice President and General Counsel Tamara L. Linde plans to retire from PSEG effective March 14, 2025.

PSEG Deputy General Counsel and Chief Litigation Counsel Grace Park has been appointed Executive Vice President and General Counsel, effective September 16, 2024, and will continue to report to Linde until her retirement.

In support of a smooth transition of leadership, Linde shifted to the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, effective September 16, 2024.

“Tammy has been a tremendous asset to the company for over 30 years. The senior executive team and I have always welcomed and valued her perspective,” said Ralph LaRossa, PSEG chair, president and CEO. “She has been a thoughtful sounding board and advisor. An instrumental leader, Tammy has helped our company navigate immense shifts in our industry and our business. Her keen insights and comradery will be missed.”

Linde joined PSEG in 1990 and has served as PSEG’s General Counsel for the past 10 years.

Under her leadership, Linde helped PSEG navigate several complex and historic energy transitions such as the state’s support for nuclear generation through the Zero Emissions Certificates, the establishment of PSEG Long Island a decade ago, PSEG’s transition to a mostly regulated utility with the sale of our fossil portfolio and many other milestone achievements.

“I am pleased to welcome Grace to this new role. Her appointment is part of our strategic and continuous succession planning process,” LaRossa added. “The senior executive team and I have worked with Grace for years. She brings a sharp understanding of the landscape and proven leadership and track record to this role.”
