Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) (PCG) is a regulated utility that sells and delivers electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural customers across northern and central California. Through its subsidiary, the company generates power from a diversified mix-including nuclear, hydroelectric, natural-gas-fired, fuel-cell and photovoltaic assets-and operates an extensive network of transmission lines, substations, distribution pipelines and storage facilities.
Key recent metrics (as of FY 2024): revenue of $21.5 billion, adjusted earnings per share of $6.42, and a regulated rate base of $115 billion, reflecting a 4.2 % year-over-year growth in the rate base. The balance sheet shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.9 ×, while the company’s credit rating remains at BBB- (S&P). Primary economic drivers include California’s aggressive clean-energy targets (30 % renewable generation by 2030), ongoing wildfire liability settlements, and the impact of rising interest rates on utility financing costs.
