Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) energy management experts are ready to help your organization meet today’s energy challenges. Energy use is the single largest operating expense in commercial office buildings, often representing one-third of most companies’ operating budget. Commercial buildings account for almost 20 percent of the nation's annual greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2008, PG&E paid $138 million in program incentives to business customers, resulting in annual energy savings of 1,736 million kWh and 32 million therms. This is the equivalent of taking 118,000 cars off the road for a year.

A significant portion of your facility’s financial success depends on reducing controllable costs. PG&E offers many programs and services that can help you use energy more efficiently, maximize the return on your investments, improve net operating income, and increase building asset value and balance out your carbon footprint. PG&E can also provide technical and financial assistance to help your building achieve LEED certification.
