Help ensure that someone else’s energy stays connected

Third-Party Notification informs you when a friend or relative misses paying a bill because of illness, hardship or other issues. Here’s how it works:

 

  • With this program, PG&E notifies you when another person receives a late notice for an unpaid bill.
  • As the designated third party, you’re not responsible for paying the bill, but you might want to contact PG&E to help resolve the issue.
  • Third-Party Notification is available to all residential customers, with the consent of both parties.
