At PG&E, we recognize that this is a critical time for climate change action—and to make collective progress towards stabilizing the climate. We’ve set ambitious climate goals to guide our work in helping to transition California to a decarbonized and more climate-resilient economy. This section highlights our progress towards our goal to achieve a net zero energy system in 2040, along with other milestones.

 

2023 highlights

Clean and reliable energy

100% GHG-free electricity

Delivered 100% greenhouse gas-free electricity to residential and business customers to whom we directly sell power. 

2,100+ MW energy storage capacity

Connected new battery storage capacity to the state’s electric grid, now totaling more than 2,100 MW.

467 MW load reduction

Enabled up to 467 MW of load reduction through our demand response programs, helping to balance electricity supply and demand in light of California’s evolving grid needs.

Enabling customer solutions

8 million+ metric tons

Helped customers avoid the emission of over 8 million lifecycle metric tons of carbon dioxide through our energy efficiency programs.

1 in 7 EVs

Reached 580,000+ EVs in operation in our service area—about one in seven of all EVs in the U.S.

1 in 6 solar rooftops

Brought the total number of rooftop solar customers connected to the grid to over 800,000—about 1 in 6 of all solar rooftops in the U.S.

2x RNG volume

Increased RNG injection projects into our system, doubling the volume from the prior year.

Progress on our climate goals

On the path to net zero by 2040, PG&E exceeded our annual greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in 2023, achieving a 27% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 19% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, relative to a 2015 baseline.
