How to opt out of PG&E communications
In order to provide you with gas and electric service, it is important that PG&E is able to contact you about your account when necessary.

For example, current customers will continue to receive emergency notifications from PG&E as required by law, and you cannot opt out of these communications.
You can unsubscribe to marketing emails via the unsubscribe button in the footer of a marketing email. You may also update your communications preference through your PG&E online account:
- Log in to YOUR ACCOUNT
- Click EDIT PROFILE & ALERTS hyperlink
- Click EDIT on the desired notification section
