Insights into PG&E's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, PG&E reported total energy inflows of 184.43 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 64.25 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 120.18 million Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 65.16%, reflecting a 541.37% percentage point increase from the previous year (2022) and a 1,113.54% percentage point increase since 2021.
These consistent increases, both year-over-year and over the longer term, suggest that PG&E is actively strengthening its energy autonomy. The company appears to be making deliberate, sustained investments in internal energy production, possibly to improve energy security, reduce reliance on volatile external markets, or support broader sustainability goals.
