It's quite high. Are you looking at an estimated bill or an actual meter reading? Estimates can be considerably higher than actual meter readings, but they should average out over time. If it's an estimate, you can call PSEG and send them a picture of your actual meter reading or have them send someone out for one.

It's normal for electricity bills to have Supply (generation) fees and Delivery (transmission) fees. They are separate because some people opt into alternative forms of Supply (i.e. renewable). I believe these charges are also regulated differently.

This is the actual bill. I wasn’t aware of the delivery fee being so high , 25% of the total.

Just think of delivery as the fixed rate portion of your bill. It's always about 4c per kwh. The supply portion of your bill is variable (starting at 11c per kwh) and steps up the more you use. They provide the breakdown in case you want to change your energy supplier, but it's much easier to just look at your total rate (i.e. 15c per kwh). If you're looking to cut down on your bill, you should check out some of PSEG's Community Solar partners. I've shared my experience using Solar Landscape on here a few times. The rate written into the contract is guaranteed to be 15% less than PSEGs, and you can cancel at any time.
