Para obtener más información sobre cómo este cambio podría afectar su pago mensual, llame al 1-800-660-6789. 1-800-883-9555 NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY'S REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR ITS 2023 GENERAL RATE CASE PHASE II APPLICATION (A.24-09-014) ACRONYMS YOU NEED TO KNOW PG&E: Pacific Gas and Electric Company CPUC: California Public Utilities Commission WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE? On September 30, 2024, PG&E filed its 2023 General Rate Case (GRC) Phase II Application with the CPUC. This filing proposes changes to PG&E's rate design based on costs already approved in PG&E's Phase I proceeding (A.21-06- 021). As a result, PG&E's customer classes may experience revisions to their current rates. However, no new costs are being proposed in this Phase II Application. Every four years, PG&E is required to file a GRC with the CPUC, which includes both Phase I and Phase Il applications. In Phase I of the GRC, costs for operating and upgrading the electric and gas distribution systems, and how much of those costs PG&E will recuperate in rates, is determined by the CPUC. In Phase of the GRC, PG&E's electric rates are designed by allocating those approved electric costs among each customer class (residential, commercial, etc.). Gas rate design is addressed in separate gas applications and is not included in the scope of this application. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? PG&E is requesting this rate change to align rates more closely with the cost of providing service to each customer class. The proposals in this application also support statewide policies for a cleaner energy future by encouraging customers to adopt electrification technologies, such as electric vehicles, to decarbonize California's overall energy usage. In addition, PG&E presents rate design proposals intended to provide customers with clear, cost-based price signals associated with their electric use. The proposals in this application provide greater opportunity for bill savings by encouraging customers to shift their electricity use to off-peak hours and limit electric usage during on-peak periods. This not only results in reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but also results in reduced rates for all customers because electric generation during the on-peak period is more costly than during non-peak periods. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in November 2024. At the end of the four-year period covered by this Application, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $205 to $217 or 5.9%. The bill for a similar customer using 750 kWh per month would increase from $326 to $338 or 3.6%. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers receive electric transmission and distribution services and select Commission-ordered services from PG&E. On average, rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would decrease by 1% if this application is approved. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Please check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this would impact your overall bill. Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. On average, existing Departing Load customers would see a rate increase of 0.4%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E's application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alterate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. Parties to the proceeding may review PG&E's application, including the Public Advocates Office. The Public Advocates Office is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov. WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?

On September 30, 2024, PG&E filed its Transmission Revenue Requirement Reclassification Memorandum Account (TRRRMA) Application with the CPUC. In this application, PG&E is requesting $338 million to be collected in electric and gas rates. This is an accounting- related application to account for costs that used to be collected in FERC-jurisdictional rates and will now be collected in CPUC-jurisdictional rates. PG&E is proposing to recover these costs over a one-year period beginning January 2026, FERC-jurisdictional rates are being adjusted accordingly in 2025. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE? FERC regulates PG&E's electric transmission assets; all other PG&E assets are regulated by the CPUC. The purpose of the TRRRMA is to record costs that have shifted from FERC jurisdiction and CPUC jurisdiction. Costs included in this application are related to the period 2017-2023. These costs were previously approved to be included in FERC rates. No new costs or spending are being requested in this application. PG&E customers benefit from the common assets (structures, telecommunications equipment, vehicles, computer hardware, and computer software) and transmission assets included in the application. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in November 2024. The bill for a typical residential customer using 500 KWh per month would increase from $206.01 to $208.44, or 1.2% Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers receive electric transmission and distribution services and select Commission-ordered services from PG&E. On average, rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would increase by 1.7% if this application is approved. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this would impact your overall bill. Another category of nonbundled customers is other Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. These customers are not impacted by this application. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY GAS RATES? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution and procurement services from PG&E. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential customer averaging 31 therms per month would increase from $75.25 to $77.07, or 2.4%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E's application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.
