Electric revenue fell to $4.05 billion from $4.12 billion a year ago. Natural gas declined to $1.81 billion from $2.09 billion the prior year.

FY24 Guidance: PG&E reaffirmed its adjusted EPS guidance of $1.33-$1.37 versus the $1.36 consensus. 

PG&E shared its five-year financing plan, which includes funding $62 billion of safety and reliability capital expenditures. 

The strategy, which does not factor in the sale of the Utility’s non-nuclear generation assets, confirms the company’s dedication to refraining from new equity in 2024. 

It also allows for significant dividend expansion over the next five years and anticipates a possible equity requirement of up to $3 billion between 2025 and 2028.
