On May 15, 2025, PG&E filed its Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Forecast application with the CPUC requesting approval to change rates for the following: Recovery of $2.705 billion in costs related to fuel needed to produce electricity as well as buying energy from third parties to serve bundled customer loads that are included in ERRA Setting certain charges for bundled and departing load customers for the recovery of costs of PG&E's portfolio that are included in the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), Ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC), Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM), and Public Purpose Program (PPP) rate Certain costs included in this application are associated with renewable resources to further the state's energy policy goals. In addition, as part of this application, PG&E customers will also receive the California Climate Credit. The credit will be applied twice a year-in April 2026 and October 2026-for residential and eligible small business electric customers. Eligible EITE (emission- intensive and trade-exposed) electric customers will receive the credit during April 2026. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? The ERRA Forecast proceeding is the regulatory process to forecast fuel and purchased power costs which can be recovered in customer rates. While this may result in a change in rates, PG&E recovers these costs with no markup for return or profit. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will recover its costs in electric rates effective January 1, 2026. PG&E will update its rate proposal later in the year to reflect any CPUC directives impactful to PG&E's rate request and updated market conditions, as well as update other proposals submitted in this application. Notably, CPUC Rulemaking 25-02-005 is considering changes to cost allocation calculation and a decision may impact PG&E's updated rate proposal. Further, market prices may be higher or lower than at the time the application was filed. These factors may result in higher or lower rates and bill impacts than those initially presented. In addition, at the end of the year, PG&E will compare actual costs to the revenues forecasted in this application and will apply any differences toward next year's 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 June 2025. The bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would decrease from $214.93 to $204.02 or 5.1%. 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 increase by 3.9% 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 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 decrease of 3.8%. 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. Parties to the proceeding may review PG&E's application, including the Public Advocates Office, which 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 May 15, 2025, PG&E filed its 2027 General Rate Case (GRC) application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This filing is required every four years and outlines PG&E's forecasted costs to operate, maintain, and improve its electric and gas systems. If approved by the CPUC, this proposal will result in a $1.237 billion revenue increase for 2027 and additional increases of $1.014 billion (2028), $1.075 billion (2029), and $1.143 billion (2030). These funds will be used to support critical upgrades, including wildfire safety measures, clean energy expansion, and grid improvements for a more reliable system. The CPUC will review the proposal through a public process before making a final decision. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? PG&E is proposing this rate change to meet California's growing energy needs while improving safety and reliability. The requested increase would fund investments to: Reduce wildfire risk by installing high-definition cameras, weather stations, strong poles, covered powerlines, and undergrounded powerlines. Expand energy capacity to serve new homes, businesses, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence data centers. ° Strengthen climate resilience through microgrids and clean energy projects to improve reliability during extreme weather and high-demand periods. Enhance gas system safety by upgrading infrastructure to keep communities safe and reduce emissions. If the CPUC approves this application, beginning January 1, 2027, PG&E will recover these costs through electric and gas customer rates over the four-year period of 2027 to 2030. 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 June 2025. A typical residential non-CARE' customer using 500 kWh per month would see an increase from $214.93 to $226.11, or 5.2% in 2027, from $226.11 to $232.99, or 3.0% in 2028, from $232.99 to $240.24, or 3.1% in 2029, and from $240.24 to $248.01, or 3.2% in 2030. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers receive electric transmission and distribution services and select CPUC-ordered services from PG&E. If this application is approved, on average compared to current rates, rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would increase by 8.1% in 2027, 4.4% in 2028, 4.5% in 2029, and 4.6% in 2030. 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 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 3.1% in 2027, 1.8% in 2028, 1.9% in 2029, and 2.1% in 2030. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. 'CARE (California Alternative Rates for Energy) is an income qualified discount program. Electric CARE customers are exempt from certain charges and receive a 35% discount on non-exempt charges, for an overall average discount of approximately 38%. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY GAS RATES? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution, and procurement services from PG&E. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in June 2025. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill, including the average monthly climate credit, for a typical non-CARE bundled residential customer averaging 31 therms per month would decrease from $83.86 to $83.32, or -0.6% in 2027, and then increase from $83.32 to $86.38, or 3.7% in 2028, from $86.38 to $89.63, or 3.8% in 2029, and from $89.63 to $92.94, or 3.7% in 2030. 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.
