Have questions?
A payment plan, also known as a payment arrangement, allows you to break up your existing balance into smaller monthly payments.
A due date extension, also called a payment extension, moves the due date up to 30 days into the future. This allows extra time to pay the balance in full.
*Note: Bill payment transaction fees are changing. You can avoid fees by signing up for recurring payments or by logging into your PG&E account to use the One-Time payment option with your checking/savings account.
If you pay by phone or use the One-Time payment option without logging into your account, the revised transaction fees below will apply.
Effective May 19, 2025, the transaction fees will be:
- For residential customers using a consumer/personal credit card or debit card: $1.50.
- For business customers using a consumer/personal credit card or debit card: $6.95.
- For payments made with a commercial credit card, the surcharge will be 1.95% of the payment amount.
Why do I have to pay a transaction fee?
- PG&E has partnered with an independent payment provider.
- This provider allows PG&E customers to pay with a credit or debit card on a one-time or recurring basis.
- The fees for these payments are set by credit card networks, payment processors and banks—not by PG&E.
- California Assembly Bill 746 restricts PG&E from passing these costs to all customers.
- Only those using this payment service are charged these fees.
- The last fee change occurred in 2017.
Don't want to pay a transaction fee?
