SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has announced it will offer no-cost installation and removal of temporary electric service to eligible customers rebuilding after the devastating October wildfires. Adding to PG&E’s existing support for affected customers, this effort aims to assist customers who have lost their homes and businesses.
Through December 31, PG&E will provide no-cost installation and removal of temporary electric service for customers’ rebuilding efforts across Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Solano, Sonoma and Yuba counties. Customers should call PG&E’s Building Renovation Service Center at 1-877-743-7782 as they create their rebuilding plans to confirm eligibility and initiate the process with PG&E.
“We’ve been a part of these impacted communities for decades. We will be here to support our customers and these communities throughout the rebuilding process. We strongly support the Commission’s approval to allow us to offer these no-cost solutions that will enable our customers to focus on their families and their futures,” said Laurie Giammona, PG&E’s Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer.
On October 25, PG&E submitted a formal request to the CPUC to waive the electric service costs. The company received approval on November 9 to temporarily waive the regulatory requirement to charge impacted customers for electric service related to wildfire reconstruction. The recorded costs will be addressed in PG&E’s upcoming Catastrophic Events Memorandum Account filing.
