Transcript

On the front lines, you work around the clock to deliver safer and more reliable service, all at a lower cost. Since 2024, PG&E's residential electric rates have gone down five times, and for their most vulnerable customers, they've cut rates by 23%, and they're still hard at work. That's PG&E, on the front lines for us all. Residential blended electric rates have decreased five times since January 2024, reducing rates 13% since then for customers who get both energy supply and delivery from PG&E. For PG&E's most vulnerable customers, residential blended electric rates are 23% lower than in January of 2024. This message was paid for by shareholders.
