Semi-annual Payments are 15.7% Higher Than Prior Year
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- For the second half of 2021, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) paid property taxes of over $310 million to the 50 counties where it owns properties that support gas and electric service to 16 million Californians.
“Property tax payments are one of the many important ways PG&E helps drive our hometown economies and supports essential public services like education and public safety. These payments reflect the substantial local investments we are making in our gas and electric infrastructure to create a safer and more reliable system and to better mitigate against wildfire risk,” said Chris Foster, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for PG&E.
PG&E’s payments of more than $310 million covers the period from July 1 to December 31, 2021. Total payments for the fiscal property tax year of July 1, 2021, to, June 30, 2022, will be more than $621 million — an increase of more than $42 million, or 15.7 percent, compared with the prior tax year.
The increase in property tax payments reflects PG&E’s continuing investments to enhance and upgrade its gas and electrical infrastructure for safety, reliability and wildfire mitigation across Northern and Central California.
PG&E supports the communities it serves in a variety of ways. In 2021, PG&E and the PG&E Corporation Foundation contributed $23 million to communities throughout Northern and Central California to enhance educational opportunities, preserve the environment, and support economic vitality and emergency preparedness. This included more than $1 million in relief to communities and small businesses for COVID 19 impacts. PG&E employees provide volunteer services in their local communities. The company also offers a broad spectrum of economic development services to help local businesses grow.
