Why it matters
The negative outlook comes as Pacific Gas and Electric Company conducts a strategic review of its financing and corporate structure, including ring-fencing or asset sales, with the goal of achieving investment-grade ratings. Due to these financing pressures, the company also announced a $2 billion reduction in its 2027 capital plan.
