PG&E Submits Testimony to California Regulators Outlining $22.5 Billion Cost of Government Grid Takeover in San Francisco

PG&E submitted a filing to California regulators estimating a $22.5 billion cost for a proposed government takeover of its San Francisco electric grid. The company values its assets at $13.9 billion, including $8.6 billion in severance damages, significantly higher than CCSF's $3.4 billion estimate.

About $53,000 per San Francisco electric account is PG&E's estimated takeover burden, not a bill forecast.

PG&E estimated the cost of a proposed San Francisco government takeover of its electric grid at $22.5 billion, significantly higher than the city's $5.3 billion offer. The utility's filing includes asset valuation, physical separation costs, and lost revenue for statewide energy programs. PG&E claims CCSF undervalued its assets and would incur additional startup costs.
