With increased energy use during the hot summer months, customers are encouraged to check if they are on the lowest-cost rate plan<\/a>\u00a0for their household to maximize savings. Customers can find their lowest rate simply by logging into their PG&E online account and using the Rate Comparison<\/a> tool. Savings vary based on customer type and energy use.<\/p>\n

Enrolling in the Budget Billing program<\/a> and signing up for Bill Forecast Alerts<\/a> are no-cost tools to help customers reduce billing surprises. Budget Billing averages your energy costs over the last 12 months to determine your monthly payment, so you don’t have big spikes in your bill.<\/p>\n

Bill forecast alerts provide email, text or phone notifications to customers if their monthly bill is expected to exceed a specific amount they set, based on how they are using energy.<\/p>\n

Customers can also get a free personal energy coach by enrolling in the HomeIntel<\/a> program at no cost.<\/p>\n

“We know the challenges rising temperatures can bring and we want to connect customers with the discounts and resources they need to weather the summer heat,” said Vincent Davis<\/span>, PG&E Senior Vice President, Customer Experience. “A few small changes at home can make a difference, and we want to make sure families have access to support tools and programs that can reduce energy expenses.”<\/p>\n

PG&E forecasts no additional electric rate increases for the rest of 2025. The company expects residential combined gas and electric bills to be essentially flat for the rest of 2025 and go down in 2026.<\/p>\n

Even though bills are stabilizing, customers may see higher bills during the summer months if they use more energy to cool their homes and businesses.<\/p>\n
