The largest electric utility in California, Oakland-based PG&E focuses on the northern and central portions of the massive state with 16 million customers across 70,000 square miles. With Silicon Valley in its region, PG&E is forecasting demand growth from the data center construction boom potentially spreading throughout much of the state. Largely recovered from the 2019 bankruptcy filing resulting from wildfire-related liabilities, PG&E is focused on transmission expansions and decarbonization. PG&E manages a mix of hydropower, natural gas, solar, and battery storage assets.
