Important Legally Binding Information for Customers

The purpose of this form is to allow you, the customer, to exercise your right to choose whether to disclose your personal electricity and/or natural gas usage data to the building owner or landlord of the building in which you receive electric or natural gas service, and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, for the purpose of calculating the whole energy usage of the building owner's or landlord's building.


Customer responsibilities

If you authorize the sharing of your energy usage data, your usage data also may be reported to the United States Environmental Protection Agency in order to assist the building owner or landlord in complying with a California law (Assembly Bill 1103) that requires disclosure of the whole building energy usage to prospective buyers of the building. Once you authorize the building owner or landlord to receive this information about you, you are responsible for ensuring that the building owner or landlord safeguards the personal information from further disclosure without your consent. You may revoke this authorization at any time by accessing pge.com/benchmarking and revising this form.


Authorization of access

This form authorizes the building owner or landlord of the customer and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW, MC6202J, Washington, D.C. 20460) to access the customer's electricity and/or natural gas meter usage data only and only for the purpose of calculating the overall energy use of the building.
