Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is paying property
taxes and franchise fees of more than $367 million this spring to
the 50 counties and 247 cities where the energy company owns and
operates gas and electric infrastructure that serves 16 million
Californians. This is an increase of $30 million over payments made
a year ago.
“Property tax and franchise fee payments are one of the
important ways PG&E helps drive local economies and support
essential public services like education and public safety. This
year’s higher payments reflect the substantial local investments we
are making in our gas and electric infrastructure to create one of
the safest and most reliable energy companies in the nation,” said
Jason Wells, senior vice president and chief financial officer for
PG&E.
PG&E increased its payment of property taxes sharply this
year as the energy company continued to make significant
investments in its gas and electric system to support safety and
reliability.
On April 10, PG&E paid property taxes of over $230 million
to the 50 counties in which it owns property. The payment covers
the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018. Total payments for the
tax year of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 are more than $461
million—an increase of $50 million over, or 12 percent more than,
the prior fiscal year.
PG&E pays franchise fees to cities and counties for the use
of public streets for its gas and electric facilities. The energy
company submitted the fees to counties by March 31 and to cities by
April 15.
PG&E’s franchise fee payments totaled nearly $137 million –
almost $37 million for natural gas and $100 million for electric
service.
PG&E invested about $6 billion last year and expects to
invest another $6 billion this year to enhance and upgrade its gas
and electrical infrastructure across Northern and Central
California.
PG&E supports the communities it serves in a variety of
ways. Last year PG&E provided more than $28 million in
community grants and investments to enrich local educational
opportunities, preserve the environment, and support economic
vitality and emergency preparedness. PG&E employees provide
thousands of hours of volunteer service in their local communities.
The company also offers a broad spectrum of economic development
services to help local businesses grow.
