California Natural Gas Prices Hit Record Lows Amid High Storage Levels, Weak Power Demand, EIA Says

Average natural gas spot prices at major California trading hubs fell to record lows during the first five months of 2026, pressured by above-average storage inventories and declining demand from gas-fired power generation, the US Energy Information Administration said Tuesday.Prices at Northern California's PG&E Citygate and Southern California's SoCal Border Average reached record lows, while prices at SoCal Citygate fell close to historic lows but remained above some levels recorded in 2024.Higher-than-average natural gas inventories in the Pacific region have been a key driver of the price weakness. While storage levels in the South Central, Midwest and East regions have remained near their five-year averages, Pacific region inventories have exceeded the five-year average by over 10% since early December 2025.As of May 22, Pacific region storage stood 30.9% above the five-year average, or roughly 69 billion cubic feet, adding downward pressure on regional prices.At the same time, California's demand for natural gas in electricity generation has continued to decline as renewable energy sources gain market share.Increased solar and renewable generation, combined with growing battery storage capacity, has reduced the need for gas-fired power plants, particularly during evening peak-demand periods.Natural gas consumption in California fell to a record low 4.8 billion cubic feet per day in 2025, down 7% from 2024, according to data from the Natural Gas Monthly report.California natural gas hubs have traditionally traded at a premium to Henry Hub, the US benchmark. However, elevated storage inventories and weaker power-sector demand have pushed California spot prices below Henry Hub throughout 2026.The discount to Henry Hub was widest in January, marking the largest gap on record for each of the state's major trading hubs. Although the price differential has narrowed in recent months, spot prices at all three California hubs remain below Henry Hub levels.Price: $16.43, Change: $+0.28, Percent Change: +1.73%

PG&E Activates Emergency Center Ahead of California Fire Risk

Pacific Gas and Electric (PCG) said Friday it activated its Emergency Operations Center as a dry offshore wind event raised wildfire risks across parts of Northern California for Sunday and Monday.PG&E said dry and fair weather conditions will continue Friday with west to northwest winds staying mostly below 30 miles per hour before a low-pressure system brings stronger northerly winds over the weekend.Wind gusts could reach 30 mph to 45 mph along the North Coast and coastal gaps Saturday, while gusts across the Sacramento Valley may range between 25 mph and 35 mph, PG&E said.By Sunday morning, winds are expected to shift northeast with gusts reaching 35 mph to 50+ mph across the Sacramento Valley and 30 mph to 40 mph through the San Joaquin Valley.Localized gusts could exceed 55+ mph across elevated Bay Area terrain and portions of the western Sacramento Valley, according to PG&E.The company said winds will weaken slightly on Sunday night before isolated gusts of 20 mph to 35 mph redevelop on Monday across the Sacramento Valley and nearby terrain.A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect from early Saturday through Monday evening across the Central Valley due to gusty winds and low humidity levels, PG&E said.Dead fuel moisture levels are trending below normal, while lower-elevation vegetation species, including Chamise and Sagebrush, are approaching flammable conditions.Northern Operations Predictive Services expects normal fire activity in May before conditions rise above normal from June through August as vegetation becomes more flammable, PG&E said.Southern Operations Predictive Services expects wildfire activity across the region to remain near normal levels through August.The utility said 448 of 788 circuits located in High Fire Risk Areas currently have Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings enabled, while another 30 buffer-only circuits also remain activated.

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Sell Opinion On Shares Of Pg&e Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month target at $14, based on 8.7x our 2026 EPS estimate, significantly below peers at a 19.7x average to reflect PCG's low dividend yield (1.2%), regulatory uncertainty regarding wildfire liability, and lingering caution after it emerged from bankruptcy in 2020. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.03 to $1.64 and lift 2027 EPS by $0.07 to $1.80. PCG's $73B capex plan faces increased uncertainty as management has stated the potential for reevaluation if SB 254 Phase Two legislation does not provide the ability to model wildfire tail risk. On a positive note, wildfire mitigation efforts continue to show meaningful progress, with PCG completing 31 miles of powerline undergrounding and installing 44 miles of strengthened poles and covered lines in high fire-risk areas during the quarter. We think wildfire risk mitigation efforts, both physically and financially, support above-average EPS growth opportunities in the coming years. We expect 5.5% revenue growth in 2026, followed by 3.1% growth in 2027.

Research Alert: Pg&e Q1 2026: 30% Eps Growth Tempered By Rising Wildfire Fund Costs

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PG&E delivered solid Q1 2026 results with core EPS of $0.43 (+30.3% Y/Y, +8.9% vs. consensus) and operating revenues of $6.88B (+15.0%, +10.0% vs. consensus). The utility reaffirmed 2026 core EPS guidance of $1.64-$1.66, with 9.8% midpoint growth exceeding most peers. We have a positive view on PCG's wildfire mitigation progress, completing 31 miles of undergrounding and generating over $100M in cumulative avoided costs with 90% reliability improvements in completed areas. Management demonstrated confidence in executing capital programs while achieving meaningful customer affordability improvements, including 23% residential rate reductions for CARE customers since January 2024. PCG's data center pipeline reached 4.6 GW in final engineering, with potential for significant long-term load growth that could lower monthly bills by ~1% per GW under favorable conditions. However, we note meaningful downside risk from wildfire fund expenses (+34% Y/Y in Q1) as low snowpack raises the risk of a severe wildfire season.
