PG&E Customers' Electricity 100% Greenhouse Gas-Free in 2023

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) retail customers received 100% greenhouse gas-free electricity in 2023, making the company's portfolio of electricity sources one of the world's cleanest. In 2023, 34% of PG&E's total electricity delivered to retail customers-residential customers and businesses to whom the company directly sells electricity-came from specified eligible-renewable resources, including solar and wind power, small hydroelectric generation and biopower. PG&E retail customers also received 53% of their electric deliveries from carbon-free nuclear power generated by Diablo Canyon Power Plant, and 13% from large hydroelectric power. The company's GHG-free electric retail sales are one important indicator of PG&E's clean-energy performance. In another example, PG&E also reached an important battery energy storage milestone, passing the 2,100-megawatt mark for capacity. "We're all in on creating a clean energy future," said Patti Poppe, Chief
