Department Overview
Customer and Enterprise Solutions is devoted to serving PG&E’s mission of delivering safe, reliable, and affordable customer-focused electric and gas service. PG&E has reorganized from a centrally-organized company to a Regional Service Model in order to establish a stronger local presence within its service territory and create a more accountable, capable, and empowered regional leadership team within each region. The Regional leadership team—headed by a Regional Vice President (RVP)—understands and acts quickly on the needs and priorities of local communities. They leverage their own small teams and the larger company to achieve this goal.
Five regions have been established: North Coast, North Valley/Sierra, Bay Area, South Bay/Central Coast, and Central Valley.
The Regional Service Model cannot accomplish this vision as a stand-alone initiative. PG&E is also instituting a new operating paradigm—the Lean Operating System. The Lean Operating System will help regional teams collaborate effectively and continually focus on safety and performance improvement.
