Coming Soon: Spring California Climate Credit to Deliver Energy Bill Savings to PG&E Customers

Eligible Small Business Customers Also Receive a Credit

OAKLAND, Calif., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In April, millions of residential and eligible small business customers will see a California Climate Credit automatically applied to their Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) bill. No action is needed by customers.

Residential households with an active natural gas account will receive a natural gas credit of $46.26 on their April energy bill. Eligible small business customers will receive an electric credit of $36.18 in April. Small business customers do not receive the natural gas credit.

In March, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted to pause the residential electric credit to later this year to coincide with high-usage months, targeting August and September for most electric customers and February for natural gas customers, with a final decision expected this spring. The Legislature directed the CPUC to move the electric credit to higher energy usage months to make energy bills more manageable.

"We know energy costs are important for our customers," said Vincent Davis, Chief Customer Officer and Senior Vice President, Customer Experience. "The California Climate Credit provides bill relief while supporting a cleaner, more resilient energy future."

The California Climate Credit reflects the public's share of the state's efforts to cut carbon emissions through the Cap-and-Invest Program, overseen by the California Air Resources Board. It is distributed by PG&E to customers as directed by the CPUC.

Since 2014, PG&E households have received nearly $1,200 in total in California Climate Credits on their energy bills, totaling nearly $15.2 billion in Cap-and-Invest Program cumulative benefits statewide.
