About
PG&E Corporation is a San Francisco, California-based regulated electric and gas utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PCG) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 16 million Californians in a 70,000-square-mile service territory in Northern and Central California through its subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Company, providing electric and natural gas service through approximately 27,000 employees. PG&E emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2020 — the largest utility bankruptcy in US history, filed in January 2019 following liability exposure from the 2017 Wine Country fires ($13.5B) and the 2018 Camp Fire ($25.5B), which destroyed the town of Paradise, California, killing 85 people and representing the deadliest California wildfire in history — funding the $13.5 billion wildfire victim trust and implementing the most comprehensive electric utility wildfire safety program in the United States. In fiscal year 2024, PG&E reported revenues of approximately $22.7 billion, with CEO Patti Poppe executing the "Lean" operational transformation: applying manufacturing-industry lean continuous improvement principles to PG&E's grid operations (undergrounding power lines in high wildfire risk areas — targeting 10,000 miles of underground line conversion through 2026), vegetation management (automated trimming tracking and scheduling), and customer operations. The wildfire safety capital investment ($16B+ in the 2023-2026 capital plan for undergrounding, enhanced powerline safety settings, and weather station deployment) enables PG&E to request recovery through California Public Utilities Commission rate cases that translate capital investment into rate base and allowed return.
