On March 1, 2024, PG&E joined other California gas utilities in filing an amended Hydrogen Blending Application with the CPUC. The application requests $94.2 million to support the state's clean energy goals through a project that will lower greenhouse gas emissions on natural gas systems. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE? PG&E is committed to helping its customers safely and affordably meet the state of California's decarbonization goals The application includes a phased approach to safely test adding hydrogen to existing natural gas pipelines, known as hydrogen blending. Using existing pipelines may be a cost-effective and timely way to transform California's future energy system and achieve decarbonization at scale. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY GAS RATES? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution and procurement services from PG&E. PG&E is proposing to recover gas costs over a 10-year period beginning as early as 2027. This assumes the application is approved and the projects are under way by this time. In 2030, which is the year with the highest increase, the bill for a typical residential customer averaging 33 therms per month would increase by $0.05 from $73.49 to $73.54, or 0.07% Actual increases will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This amended application is already 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 and gas utilities' amended 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. Parties to the proceeding may review the amended 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.
