Letter to the Editor: Summer’s Better When We Save Energy Together

Summer may be wrapping up with school starting, but warm temperatures could last through October in some areas. Higher temperatures can mean higher energy use. PG&E wants our customers to know we are here to help them make smarter energy choices and manage their energy costs. There are a variety of ways we can help.

Here are three easy steps to begin saving:

1. We encourage all customers to log onto pge.com to create My Account on Find out exactly how much energy you use and how much it costs you each month, day and hour. You can also compare your use to similar homes.
2. Sign up for Energy Alerts to ensure better management of summer bills and help avoid surprise high energy statements.
3. Learn how you use energy at home with a free Home Energy Checkup, a simple online assessment that sends you a customized list of tips to boost energy efficiency within your home.

Energy savings can be easy when we work together. Check us out online or call us for more information at 1-800-743-5000.
