, and asset management functions.  The Utility works to incorporate into its operations scientific information by reviewing relevant scientific literature and to incorporate customer and community perspectives based on its engagement with CPUC-designated disadvantaged and vulnerable communities in the CAVA process. 

The Utility’s commitment to increasing resilience to climate change includes aligning its resources and business strategy with California’s clean energy goals, and advocating for policies and programs that enable safe and reliable energy for the Utility’s customers in light of climate change.  For example, the Utility believes its strategies to reduce GHG emissions through a portfolio of customer programs, infrastructure improvements, and the use of renewable energy and energy storage will help it adapt to the expected increases in demand for electricity.

PG&E Corporation and the Utility are also making progress on transitioning the gas system to cleaner fuels and supporting efforts to accelerate building electrification.  The objective is to do so in an orderly manner to achieve a positive customer and community experience, while reducing natural gas system investments in targeted electrified communities.

Emissions Data

PG&E Corporation and the Utility track and report their annual environmental performance results across a broad spectrum of areas.  The Utility reports its GHG emissions to the CARB and the EPA on a mandatory basis.  On a voluntary basis, the Utility reports a more comprehensive emissions inventory to The Climate Registry, a non-profit organization.

The following table shows the Utility’s third-party verified voluntary GHG inventory reported to The Climate Registry for 2023, which is the most recent data available.

PG&E Corporation and the Utility also publish additional GHG emissions data in their annual Corporate Sustainability Report.
