Moody’s Ratings has upgraded PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas & Electric Company’s outlook from stable to positive, affirming their current ratings on approximately $44 billion of debt securities. This improved outlook is based on the expectation that both entities will enhance their financial ratios during 2026-2027, driven by cost-saving measures, a scheduled rate increase, and continued progress in wildfire mitigation efforts. The ratings affirmation also considers PG&E’s constructive regulatory relationship and access to the state’s wildfire fund, balanced against ongoing wildfire exposure.
