Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of PG&E Corporation and the Utility carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of their respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of their disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. No matter how well designed and operated, disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on the foregoing, PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PG&E Corporation’s or the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting.
