Ways to pay my PG&E bill

*Why do I have to pay a transaction fee?

  • You have the options of using your credit card or electronic check to make payments.
  • The transaction fee is charged by an independent payment provider.
  • California Assembly Bill 746 (AB 746, enacted in 2005) does not allow energy companies, including PG&E, to pass on these costs to all customers.
  • Only customers who choose to use this service will be charged the transaction fee.
