Pacific Gas and Electric Avis 

PG&E has a monopoly on energy and take advantage of rate increases every time they can. Does it cost more for the energy? Not in my area. It actually costs less since they're using subsidies and renewable energy. Do the employees working there get paid more? Nope. Just the greedy dirt bags on top. Inhumane what as a company they are doing.

What kind of company contributes or completely at fault for some of the worst wildfires in California history and then turns around and charges their customers for upgrading & repairing their equipment? And, all the while paying their executives 10s of millions in salary and benefits? PG&E are modern day pirates and con artists. I can't believe how shady these people are. I say "people" because it's the people making the decisions that are the problem.

They are even trying to raise rates for projects designed to reduce climate hazards. Not to mention my biggest pet peeve, adding fees on for just being connected to the power grid because more and more customers are turning to solar to try to reduce their utility bills. They SUCK.

If northern California could only band together and force some real change, then we may all once again get a good nights sleep in "fire season." But that will never happen because corporate greed almost always wins.

After trying to push the cost of the damages caused by the Santa Rosa and Napa fires.
As well as other damages this company has caused to their customers.

They have been raising costs ever since and claiming that it's because of costs going up. No.

Why is SMUD around the same area not increasing?

Unfortunately I can't get SMUD because you own an illegal monopoly on the power grid and gas here.

You don't perform proper maintenance on ANYTHING below ground.

Your rates are absolutely bankrupting my family just trying to live day to day lives.

Our bills are coming out to around 1.5k A MONTH

That is absolutely ridiculous for my area.

You're scam artists and I pray you get sued into the dirt and you never get bailed back out again.

way to many power cuts because pge refuses to insalate the bare coper wire that goes to my naborhood and so far pge ony cuts trees and one time the transformer brock to my houes and my dad needed to call a news agency to come and do a segment on it so pge would finaly do it and it still tock 2+ weeks for the to get up here and do it

HORRIBLE ! ! ! IM 68 and I need to talk to a person about my problem and PGE won't let me talk to someone? PGE has always hated us the customer, they cause fires and burn down our whole towns and cities where we live and now a person 68 yrs old they don't wanna hear my problems? this is not the way God planned it?our safety depends on a business that doesn't even care about us? it's SAD

I have two PG&E accounts, with very different experiences. At my suburban home, service is pretty good, although the scheduled outages during fire season can be challenging. In 2020, we were without power for five days in a row.

At my rural cabin in northeastern California, there are frequent outages, both scheduled and unscheduled. Clearly, the original power line installation through forest is vulnerable to high winds. However there have been four scheduled outages in the last three months, and two of them have been moved at the last minute. This makes it challenging to make plans for spending time there.

I've had to purchase generators for backup power at both locations. This shouldn't be necessary, especially at my home.

I had a great experience signing up for a new service account after purchasing a house. Extremely helpful and friendly customer service agents.

Not reliable, keeps shutting down everyone's power because their infrastructure is not maintained well or is really old and not replaced with new infrastructure. Yet they like to blame us citizens and the government for these problems. Hope the government becomes smart to give PG&E a bunch of competitors so they actually have incentives to be better.

I have been with PGE for 30 years. Yes, they are high, but all utility companies are. And I live where there were bad fires. I don't blame PGE. They were dam if they do and dam if they don't. So that all being said. Maybe the top of the company hasn't been on the best behavior (as the movie shows), but our local workers are great. They replaced a pole on our property and did a small bit of damage to our road. Within 30 minutes, after the worker reported it, we had a rep on the phone telling us to get a quote and they would pay for it. We got the check in a week. The workers were super nice too. So remember, because a company does something wrong doesn't mean all that work for them is the same. And no, I don't work for them nor know anyone that does. I just appreciate that they stepped up when there was a problem.

Horribly expensive, improperly managed, plus they kill people.
