About PG&E
PG&E
Founded in California in 1905, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is among the largest utility companies in the United States. With its headquarters in Oakland, it operates as a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation.
The company employs roughly 23,000 workers who are dedicated to its core operations of transmitting and delivering energy. It serves around 16 million people by providing natural gas and electricity across a service region that spans 70,000 square miles in northern and central California.
PG&E, along with other state energy providers, is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which was established by the California Legislature in 1911.
