PG&E keeping lights on during coronavirus crisis
PG&E says it will not shut off power to any of its customers for non-payment during the coronavirus pandemic.
The utility announced the decision Thursday night, saying it plans to leave the lights on for all of its residential and commercial customers in this crisis.
PG&E will also offer flexible payment plans to customers who are facing severe economic problems, due to the virus.
