Business
At PG&E, our aim is to provide safe, reliable, affordable and clean energy to our nearly 16 million customers. With an eye to the future, we are making significant investments in our gas and electric systems to modernize our infrastructure and deliver on this promise. We are adding more clean and renewable sources to our energy mix, strengthening the safety and reliability of our system, and building a smarter, more resilient grid that will provide the backbone for our customers’ evolving energy-related needs. We call it the Grid of Things™, and it is our vision for a platform that will enable an increasingly sustainable future for California.
