PG&E uses the following information to provide the most accurate estimate:
- Based on your usage from the same time period within the last 12 months and/or available historical meter readings for the address
- If you are part of any discount programs such as CARE, FERA, or Medical Baseline you will still get your discount applied to the estimated bill
If your bill is estimated, keep payments on schedule to avoid a future large bill covering several months. If the estimated amount is higher than your actual usage, you will receive an adjustment on the amount overpaid as a credit, and it will go toward your next bill(s). If the amount estimated is lower than your usage, any additional amount owed will appear on your adjusted statement.
