Savings Finder Tool Expands Support to Small Business Customers

Over the years, I’ve watched family and friends navigate the grit and grace it takes to build and run a small business. From inventory and staffing to budgeting and customer service, it’s a constant balancing act that rarely offers a moment to spare. And whether it’s a coffee shop, a clothing store or a tech startup, energy expenses are part of their operating costs. 

That’s why I was excited to learn about recent upgrades to PG&E’s Savings Finder tool that are designed to help business owners cut costs and manage their energy expenses more effectively. 

Launched online in the spring, the free, self-serve tool was recently enhanced to ensure small business customers benefit from the same personalized support and recommendations as residential users. By answering a series of short questions, business owners receive customized help including:

• Educational resources 

• Money-saving programs that match your business profile

• Connect with Small Business Account Representatives

• Bill management tools

• Access to rebates and incentives

• These include opportunities to upgrade to energy-efficient equipment (HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, water heating) or no-cost installations

The tool also:

• Prioritizes options based on business type, payment history, financial status, and energy usage

• Offers repeat use without storing personal data, so businesses can use the tool again if circumstances change

• Can be accessed through pge.com on the following pages: 

• Billing & Assistance

• Financial Assistance

• Ways to lower your bill

With just a few clicks, I’m hopeful the tailored solutions will help customers save time, money, and mental bandwidth.
