Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Segment Reporting PG&E Corporation and the Utility assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis and operate as one reportable segment. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer of PG&E Corporation. Net income (loss) is the measure that the CODM uses to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources and that is most consistent with GAAP principles. Net income is reported on PG&E Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Because PG&E Corporation and the Utility are a single reportable segment, all segment financial information can be found in PG&E Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not have any significant segment expenses because the CODM is not regularly provided with information that is considered to be significant under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting. Except for publicly available information, the information regularly provided to the CODM consists of financial reports with metrics that combine year-to-date actual results with forecasts of the remainder of the year in order to provide a comprehensive view of the entire year. These metrics do not separate expenses already incurred from forecast information. Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Utility recognizes revenues when electricity and natural gas services are delivered. The Utility records unbilled revenues for the estimated amount of energy delivered to customers but not yet billed at the end of the period. Unbilled revenues are included in Accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rates charged to customers are based on CPUC and FERC authorized revenue requirements. Revenues can vary significantly from period to period because of seasonality, weather, and customer usage patterns. Regulatory Balancing Account Revenue The CPUC authorizes most of the Utility’s revenues in the Utility’s GRCs, which occur every four years. CPUC and FERC rates decouple authorized revenue from the volume of electricity and natural gas sales, so the Utility receives revenue equal to the amounts authorized by the relevant regulatory agencies. As a result, the volume of electricity and natural gas sold does not have a direct impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial results. The Utility recognizes revenues that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months. Generally, electric and natural gas operating revenue is recognized ratably over the year. The Utility records a balancing account asset or liability for differences between customer billings and authorized revenue requirements that are probable of recovery or refund. The Utility also collects additional revenue requirements to recover costs that the CPUC has authorized the Utility to pass through to customers, including costs to purchase electricity and natural gas, and to fund public purpose, demand response, and customer energy efficiency programs. In general, the revenue recognition criteria for pass-through costs billed to customers are met at the time the costs are incurred. The Utility records a regulatory balancing account asset or liability for differences between incurred costs and customer billings or authorized revenue meant to recover those costs, to the extent that these differences are probable of recovery or refund. As a result, these differences have no impact on net income. The following table presents the Utility’s revenues disaggregated by type of customer:

(1) This activity is primarily related to the change in unbilled revenue and amounts subject to refund, partially offset by other miscellaneous revenue items. (2) These amounts represent alternative revenues authorized to be billed or refunded to customers. Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost – Credit Losses PG&E Corporation and the Utility use the current expected credit loss model to estimate the expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost. PG&E Corporation and the Utility evaluate credit risk in their portfolio of financial assets quarterly. As of September 30, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility identified the following significant categories of financial assets. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are represented by customer accounts. PG&E Corporation and the Utility record an allowance for doubtful accounts to recognize an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses. The allowance is determined on a collective basis based on the historical amounts written-off and an assessment of customer collectability. Furthermore, economic conditions are evaluated as part of the estimate of expected lifetime credit losses. Expected credit losses of $89 million and $331 million were recorded in Operating and maintenance expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for credit losses associated with trade and other receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, expected credit losses were $109 million and $244 million, respectively. The portion of expected credit losses that are deemed probable of recovery are deferred to the RUBA and a FERC regulatory asset account. As of September 30, 2025, the RUBA current balancing accounts and FERC noncurrent regulatory asset balances were $219 million and $92 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the RUBA current balancing accounts and FERC noncurrent regulatory asset balances were $260 million and $85 million, respectively. The RUBA current balancing account balance decreased from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 primarily due to the annual electric and gas true-up, which allows the Utility to recover approximately $260 million in undercollections from residential customers in 2025. Other Receivables and Available-For-Sale Debt Securities Insurance receivables are related to the liability insurance policies PG&E Corporation and the Utility carry. Insurance receivable risk is related to each insurance carrier’s risk of defaulting on their individual policies. Wildfire Fund receivables are the funds available from the statewide fund established under AB 1054 for payment of eligible claims related to the 2021 Dixie fire that exceed $1.0 billion. For more information, see Note 10 below. Wildfire Fund receivables risk is related to the Wildfire Fund’s durability, which is a measurement of its claim-paying capacity. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are required to determine if the fair value is below the amortized cost basis for their available-for-sale debt securities (i.e., impairment). If such an impairment exists and does not otherwise result in a write-down, then PG&E Corporation and the Utility must determine whether a portion of the impairment is a result of expected credit loss. As of September 30, 2025, expected credit losses for insurance receivables, Wildfire Fund receivables, and available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial. Government Assistance The Utility participated in various government assistance programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Utility’s accounting policy is to apply a grant accounting model by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. DWR Loan Agreement On October 18, 2022, the DWR and the Utility executed a $1.4 billion loan agreement to support the extension of DCPP, up to approximately $1.1 billion of which could be repaid by funds received from the DOE (see “U.S. DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program” below). Under the loan agreement, the DWR paid the Utility a monthly performance-based disbursement equal to $7 for each MWh generated by DCPP, effective September 2, 2022. The aggregate amount of performance-based disbursements under this agreement was $300 million. For more information about the DWR Loan Agreement, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the 2024 Form 10-K. The Utility initially accounts for all disbursements from the DWR loan agreement pursuant to ASC 470, Debt. When the Utility has reasonable assurance that the DWR will forgive loan disbursements (such as when the Utility earns a performance-based disbursement or when funds expected to be received from the DOE are less than incurred eligible costs), the Utility recognizes those forgiven loans as income related to government grants. The Utility records the income related to government grants as a deduction to expense in the same period(s) that eligible costs are incurred. The following table summarizes where DWR loan activity is presented in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

U.S. DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program On January 11, 2024, the Utility and the DOE entered into a Credit Award and Payment Agreement for up to $1.1 billion related to DCPP as part of the DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program. The Utility uses these funds to repay its loans outstanding under the DWR Loan Agreement (see “DWR Loan Agreement” above). Final award amounts are determined following completion of each year of the award period, and amounts awarded over a four-year award period ending in 2026 will be based on a number of factors, including actual costs incurred to extend the DCPP operations. When there is reasonable assurance that the Utility will receive funding and comply with the conditions of the DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program, the Utility recognizes such funding as income and records a receivable related to government grants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $34 million and $134 million, respectively, as a deduction to Operating and maintenance expense, for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to support the extension of DCPP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $71 million and $370 million, respectively, as a deduction to Operating and maintenance expense, for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to support the extension of DCPP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $57 million, as deductions to Cost of electricity, for income related to government grants for incurred fuel costs to support the extension of DCPP. Variable Interest Entities A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest. An enterprise that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is a primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. Consolidated VIEs Receivables Securitization Program The SPV was created in connection with the Receivables Securitization Program and is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Program, the Utility sells certain of its receivables and certain related rights to payment and obligations of the Utility with respect to such receivables, and certain other related rights to the SPV, which, in turn, obtains loans secured by the receivables from financial institutions. The pledged receivables and the corresponding debt are included in Accounts receivable, Accrued unbilled revenue, Other noncurrent assets, and Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The SPV is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its activities. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of the SPV are decisions made to manage receivables. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the SPV as it makes these decisions. No additional financial support was provided to the SPV during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the SPV had net accounts receivable of $3.4 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, and outstanding borrowings of $1.8 billion and $0 million, respectively, under the Receivables Securitization Program. For more information, see Note 4 below. AB 1054 Securitization PG&E Recovery Funding LLC is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the financing orders for the AB 1054 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from non-bypassable fixed recovery charges (“Recovery Property”) to PG&E Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued three separate series of recovery bonds secured by separate Recovery Property. PG&E Recovery Funding LLC is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of PG&E Recovery Funding LLC are decisions made by the servicer of the Recovery Property. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates PG&E Recovery Funding LLC as it acts in this role as servicer. No additional financial support was provided to PG&E Recovery Funding LLC during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. On November 12, 2021, November 30, 2022, and August 1, 2024, PG&E Recovery Funding LLC issued $860 million, $983 million, and $1.42 billion of senior secured recovery bonds, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PG&E Recovery Funding LLC had outstanding borrowings of $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, included in Long-term debt and Long-term debt, classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. SB 901 Securitization PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the financing order for the first and second SB 901 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from non-bypassable fixed recovery charges (“SB 901 Recovery Property”) to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued two separate series of recovery bonds secured by separate SB 901 Recovery Property. PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC are decisions made by the servicer of the SB 901 Recovery Property. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC as it acts in this role as servicer. No additional financial support was provided to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. On May 10, 2022 and July 20, 2022, PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC issued $3.6 billion and $3.9 billion of senior secured recovery bonds, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC had outstanding borrowings of $7.1 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, included in Long-term debt and Long-term debt, classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information, see Note 5 below. Non-Consolidated VIEs Power Purchase Agreement s Some of the counterparties to the Utility’s power purchase agreements are considered VIEs. Each of these VIEs was designed to own a power plant that would generate electricity for sale to the Utility. To determine whether the Utility was the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs as of September 30, 2025, the Utility assessed whether it absorbs any of the VIE’s expected losses or receives any portion of the VIE’s expected residual returns under the terms of the power purchase agreement, analyzed the variability in the VIE’s gross margin, and considered whether it had any decision-making rights associated with the activities that are most significant to the VIE’s performance, such as dispatch rights or operating and maintenance activities. The Utility’s financial obligation is limited to the amount the Utility pays for delivered electricity and capacity. The Utility did not have any decision-making rights associated with any of the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of any of these VIEs. Since the Utility was not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs as of September 30, 2025, it did not consolidate any of them. Contributions to the Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account AB 1054 did not specify a period of coverage for the Wildfire Fund, and so the accounting treatment is subject to significant judgments and estim ates. PG&E Corporation and the Utility account for shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund by recognizing an asset, amortizing the asset ratably over the life of the fund based on an estimated period of coverage, and accelerating amortization of the asset when it is determined probable and estimable that the Wildfire Fund longevity has declined, as further described below. In esti mating the life of the fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility use a dataset of historical, publicly available fire-loss data caused by electrical equipment to create Monte Carlo simulations of expected loss. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s initial estimated life of the fund was 15 years. In the first quarter of 2024, a re-evaluation resulted in the estimated life increasing from 15 to 20 years. The number of years of historic fire-loss data, the estimated costs to settle wildfire claims for participating electric utilities (including the Utility), the estimated amount of Wildfire Fund claim payments, and the effectiveness of wildfire mitigation efforts by the California electric utility companies are significant assumptions used to estimate the life of the fund. Other assumptions include the CPUC’s determinations of whether costs were just and reasonable in cases of electric utility-caused wildfires and amounts required to be reimbursed to the Wildfire Fund, the impacts of climate change, the FERC-allocable portion of loss recovery, and the future transmission and distribution equity rate base growth of participating electric utilities. The estimated life of the fund has a high degree of uncertainty for many of these assumptions, and so subsequent changes could materially impact the remaining estimated life of the fund. PG&E Corporation and the Utility have an established process to re-evaluate the estimated life of the fund whenever they obtain new significant fire-loss data. PG&E Corporation and the Utility consider significant fire-loss data to include Cal Fire’s annual release of the prior year’s fire-loss data, internally developed data about wildfires and wildfire conditions in their own service area, and other participating electric utilities’ public disclosures of probable and estimable wildfire-related losses in their service area. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are not able to independently verify other utilities’ estimates. During each re-evaluation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility update their assumptions and the dataset of historical fire-losses for wildfires caused by electrical equipment, as applicable. Based upon the outcome of the newly run Monte Carlo simulations, PG&E Corporation and the Utility may determine to increase or decrease, as applicable, the estimated life of the fund. PG&E Corporation and the Utility apply adjustments to the estimated life of the fund on a prospective basis. In addition to estimating the life of the fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility also assess the Wildfire Fund asset for accelerated amortization when they record or increase a Wildfire Fund receivable or when reliable information becomes publicly available, including when another participating electric utility discloses a Wildfire Fund receivable. As of September 30, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded $193 million in Other current liabilities, $568 million in Other noncurrent liabilities, $298 million in Current assets - Wildfire Fund asset, and $3.8 billion in Noncurrent assets - Wildfire Fund asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Utility recorded amortization and accretion expense of $86 million and $139 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Utility recorded amortization and accretion expense of $271 million and $295 million, respectively. The amortization of the asset, accretion of the liability, and applicable acceleration of the amortization of the asset are reflected in Wildfire Fund expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. PG&E Corporation and the Utility expect to begin accounting for the Continuation Account if the Wildfire Fund administrator determines that the Continuation Account is necessary and the CPUC approves the extension of non-bypassable charges to customers. For more information, see “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” in Note 10 below. Oakland Headquarters Purchase On June 3, 2025, the Utility completed the purchase of the legal parcel that contains the Lakeside Building (the "Property"). The purchase price was $906 million, of which the Utility had prepaid a total of $400 million. At closing, the Utility assumed a $172 million noncurrent liability for a property assessment carried by the Property and paid an additional $349 million, which was adjusted for closing costs. The cash payment is included within the Capital expenditures line item in PG&E Corporation’s and Utility’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the property assessment and prepayments are included in Supplemental disclosures of noncash investing and financing activities. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits PG&E Corporation and the Utility sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan and cash balance plan. Both plans are included in “Pension Benefits” below. Post-retirement medical and life insurance plans are included in “Other Benefits” below. The net periodic benefit costs reflected in PG&E Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

See the “Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits” table above for additional details. There was no material difference between PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the information disclosed above. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted Income Taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends the existing guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU became effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility on January 1, 2025. There is no significant impact on PG&E Corporation and the Utility’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. PG&E Corporation and the Utility will adopt this new ASU in their Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which amends the existing guidance to require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which amends the existing guidance by clarifying the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions. Under this ASU, to account for a settlement of a convertible debt instrument as an induced conversion, an inducement offer is required to provide the debt holder with, at a minimum, the consideration (in form and amount) issuable under the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the instrument. An entity should assess whether this criterion is satisfied as of the date the inducement offer is accepted by the holder. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Financial Instruments-Credit Losses In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the existing guidance to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU introduce a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for entities other than public business entities related to applying Subtopic 326-20 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on their Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which amends the existing guidance to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this ASU remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with Customers In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends the existing guidance to (a) reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating whether contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract are derivatives, (b) better portray the economics of those contracts in the financial statements, and (c) reduce diversity in practice resulting from the broad application of the current guidance and changing business environment. The amendments also are expected to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying the applicability of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
