Greenbook

For Electricity and Gas

You are about to read the 2008-2009 version of PG&E's Electric & Gas Service Requirements, also known as the Greenbook. The printed version of this manual is available from your local Service Planning office. Architects and engineers, electrical contractors, plumbing contractors, city and county officials, and electrical equipment manufacturers have a special need to know the information found in the Greenbook. The manual contains the minimum utility requirements for establishing gas or electric service to new or remodeled customer installations.

Information and requirements in this manual are subject to change over time. This Internet version of the Greenbook will be updated as quickly as possible when changes occur. The bound manual will not be reprinted until the next scheduled print date regardless of changes in processes or requirements. Therefore, it is imperative that all new business gas and electric service projects be coordinated through a local Service Planning office before finalizing project plans. Service Planning representatives will be able to ensure that all customer plans meet the most up-to-date PG&E requirements, as well as state and national laws and codes.
