See “Ratemaking Mechanisms” below and “Regulatory Matters” in Item 7. MD&A for more information on specific CPUC and FERC proceedings.

Generally, differences between forecast costs and actual costs can occur for numerous reasons, including the volume of work required and the impact of market forces on the cost of labor and materials. Differences in costs can also arise from changes in laws and regulations at both the state and federal level. Costs can also decrease due to improved efficiencies or waste elimination.

PG&E Corporation and the Utility are committed to taking steps to improve their credit ratings and metrics over time. All three credit ratings agencies have increased PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s issuer credit ratings since 2020.

PG&E Corporation's dividend policy entails consistent dividend increases targeting a dividend payout ratio of approximately 20% of core earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) by 2028. For more information, see Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total capital expenditures recorded in 2025 were $13.4 billion. The Utility’s total capital expenditures (including accruals) are forecasted to be $12.4 billion for 2026, $13.4 billion for 2027, $15.4 billion for 2028, $16.3 billion for 2029, and $16.0 billion for 2030. The Utility has identified opportunities for investment in the coming years in addition to its forecast, including investments in transmission for data centers and system investments, transportation electrification capacity, hydroelectric facilities, energy storage, information technology, and automation. The Utility plans to submit a 10-year Electric Undergrounding Plan to the OEIS for review. The Utility will then submit an application requesting conditional approval of the plan’s costs to the CPUC. Some of these investments depend on the Utility’s ability to generate or obtain the cash to support such investments over this period of time. The completion of projects, the timing of expenditures, and the associated cost recovery may be affected by permitting requirements and delays, construction schedules, availability of labor, equipment and materials, financing, legal and regulatory approvals and developments, community requests or protests, weather, and other unforeseen conditions. Additionally, $2.85 billion of fire risk mitigation capital expenditures will be excluded from the Utility’s equity rate base pursuant to SB 254.

The Utility expects to make additional capital expenditures, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. These expenditures include capital expenditures exceeding amounts authorized in the 2023 GRC final decision and expenditures to be included in a later filing or separate applications. These expenditures are expected to be primarily for wildfire mitigation and electrification.

PG&E Corporation and the Utility are committed to building a safe, reliable, sustainable, and climate-resilient energy system at an affordable cost for customers. The Utility’s capital investment plan, increasing procurement of renewable power and energy storage, increasing environmental regulations, and the cumulative impact of other public policy requirements collectively place continuing upward pressure on customer rates.

Performance: Underpinning the Triple Bottom Line

PG&E Corporation and the Utility use the Lean operating system, which includes five basic “plays”: visual management; operating reviews; problem solving; standard work; and waste elimination. Visual management allows teams to see how they are performing against their most important metrics using real-time data. Teams throughout PG&E Corporation and the Utility hold daily, weekly, and monthly operating reviews designed to align the performance of employees closest to the work with the goals and objectives of the companies. These brief meetings help the Utility identify gaps and quickly develop plans to support the teams performing the work and give the Utility more visibility, control and predictability in its operations. Problem solving involves a structured approach to identifying, containing, analyzing, and solving problems in order to capitalize on opportunities. Standard work reduces costs and increases productivity by establishing a consistent company-wide method for completing a task. Waste elimination, the fifth Lean play, involves identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in both process and workflow in a sustainable manner and driving the continued adoption of consistent processes and improvements to financial visibility and controls.

The Utility has responded to wildfire risk by implementing operational changes and investing in safety, including:

•Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings: EPSS adjusts the sensitivity of circuit protection devices on selected power lines to de-energize them in less than one-tenth of a second in the event of a disturbance to help prevent potential ignitions. The Utility has enabled EPSS in all high fire risk areas.

•Public Safety Power Shutoffs: The PSPS program proactively de-energizes power lines in response to forecasted weather conditions. Since its inception in late 2017, the PSPS program has become more targeted through the use of sectionalizers, which enable more targeted de-energizations, and more granular risk models.

•Vegetation management: The Utility inspects its overhead electric distribution and transmission facilities on an annual basis to identify and mitigate vegetation that might grow or fall into utility equipment. Additional inspections are conducted within a subset of HFTD areas. The Utility continues to leverage remote sensing technology to enhance data driven inspection planning and safe work execution.

•Asset inspections: Asset inspections identify equipment conditions before failure. The Utility’s asset inspection programs continue to grow more risk-informed, thorough, standardized, digitized, and verifiable.

•System hardening: System hardening entails repairing, replacing, or eliminating existing power lines in HFTD areas and installing stronger and more resilient equipment. As the Utility’s asset inspections have identified less resilient equipment, the Utility has hardened its system by fixing significantly more equipment than in prior years. Hardening methods also include replacing bare overhead conductors with covered conductors and installing stronger poles, removing lines, serving customers through remote grids, or converting lines from overhead to underground.

In recent years, the Utility has introduced or expanded its use of several measures including clearing defensible space around transmission structures, downed conductor detection, partial voltage force outs, and transmission operational controls which further decreased wildfire ignition risk.

The Utility’s equipment was not involved in the ignition of any major wildfires in 2025. The Utility experienced a decreased number of CPUC-reportable ignitions in 2025, compared to 2024, due to continued operational improvements.

The Utility is also continuing to invest in a safe and reliable gas system. The Utility’s asset safety efforts include pipeline replacements, strength testing, and real-time monitoring systems. Additionally, the Utility educates the public and its workforce regarding safe digging practices and maintains rapid outage response protocols to protect public safety and minimize service disruptions.

The Utility’s generation operations focus on safety, compliance, environmental stewardship, and asset reliability. The Utility focuses on continuous improvement, risk informed decision-making, and adhering to industry standards for asset risk management and lifecycle optimization. Work management systems enable the execution and tracking of preventative and corrective maintenance strategies for generation assets.
