Pacific Gas and Electric Company's ClimateSmart™ program is the first-of-its-kind. This voluntary program will allow our customers to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to make their home or office energy use "climate neutral."

Through a formal competitive bidding process, PG&E is seeking offers to purchase high quality GHG emission reductions from new projects in California that reduce, avoid, or sequester GHG emissions ("Offers"). Upon review and evaluation of all Offers, PG&E will consider entering into agreements to purchase California Climate Action Registry-certified GHG emission reductions.

Parties interested in submitting Offers for PG&E’s consideration are referred to PG&E's Solicitation and other related information described below.
