Risks and opportunities

Trend

PG&E receives a trend score of -. If the company were reassessed in the near future, its score would likely decrease. The company lacks targets for its electric utilities business beyond an unambitious target to 2022. Even if the PG&E achieves California’s clean energy goal of net-zero electricity generation by 2045, it will not keep pace with its 1.5°C pathway that requires it to be net-zero by 2035. Although the company is investing in energy storage projects and developing electric vehicle infrastructure, its ongoing gas use means it is unlikely to reduce its emissions intensity between 2020 and 2025.
