Adjust your energy usage and save or earn money


PG&E and contracted Third Parties offer programs for customers to save or earn money by adjusting energy usage. Participation also helps balance the electric grid without producing emissions.


What are my options for participating?


You can participate in just one energy incentive program at a time. If you are currently on one of these programs you cannot enroll in another until you discontinue participation in your current program.
