Pacific Gas & Electric: FAQ
- How many power plants does Pacific Gas & Electric operate?
- EIA-860M lists 71 operating plants against “Pacific Gas & Electric Co.” for 2026-07, totalling 8 GW of nameplate capacity in 1 state.
- Is Pacific Gas & Electric the owner of these plants?
- EIA-860M names one reporting entity per generator. That entity operates the plant on the survey; ownership can sit with a parent, a partnership or a tax-equity structure that the form does not record.
- Why are affiliates listed separately?
- Because EIA files them separately. Rolling subsidiaries into a parent would need an ownership map EIA-860M does not publish, so this page does not invent one.
