Core gas supply

Learn how we buy and sell natural gas for residential and small commercial customers

Core gas supply

Core Gas Supply is the purchasing arm for core natural gas (residential and small commercial) customers. We purchase and sell natural gas as well as release pipeline capacity.

 

What we buy

We purchase gas supplies from producers and marketers in Canada, the Rockies and the U.S. Southwest. We make purchases on a daily, monthly and longer-term basis.

You must complete the PG&E credit requirements if you’re interested in becoming a supplier. A Contract Administrator can then initiate a contract. Contact one of our managers first, if you’re new to California. The contact information is located in the Trading Core Gas Supply: U.S. and Canadian Supplies table on this page.

 

Core Gas Supply is an equal opporutnity gas buyer. Learn about becoming a supplier and our supplier diversity program.

 

What we sell

PG&E occasionally sells our excess natural gas. We sell the natural gas in the basins, at the California border and through PG&E Citygate. We also release our pipeline capacity. Pipeline capacity release activities are posted on the pipeline electronic bulletin boards. 

Contact one of our traders if you have questions about acquiring excess pipeline capacity or supplies. The contact information is located in the Trading Core Gas Supply: U.S. and Canadian Supplies table on this page.

Renewable natural gas procurement

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmental sustainability, PG&E has started procuring renewable natural gas.

 

RNG is derived from organic matter of various sources, such as landfills, agricultural waste, wastewater treatment plants, and organic materials. These sources release methane, which is collected and treated to create RNG. The treatment process of these materials prohibits greenhouse gases from naturally entering the atmosphere, thus reducing damages to our climate. RNG is a versatile and environmentally friendly energy option providing a sustainable alternative to traditional natural gas and is decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.
