California Economic Development Rate Program

About the Program


PG\&E developed the unique Economic Development Rate (EDR) to help businesses grow

Our EDR offers eligible businesses the opportunity to lower costs through one of three reduced electric rate options.

Savings you can count on: Industrial, processing, and manufacturing customers can receive a discount of 12%, 18% or 20% on the majority of their electric costs for five years

The standard 12% rate is available throughout our service territory. The enhanced rates of 18% and 20% are available in cities and counties where the annual unemployment rate exceeds the statewide rate. Please see our location rates map on the following side


Eligibility criteria

• Select businesses that may cease operations within a PE service area without an Economic Development Rate

• Select businesses that may expand out of state

• Incoming businesses looking to operate within a PE service area

• Select small businesses below 150kW may qualify
