Having trouble accessing your PG&E online account? Here's what's going on
PG&E's recent rollout of an upgraded online portal has not gone smoothly for many customers, who say that it has left them unable to access their accounts or pay their bills. The changes, which began over the weekend, were meant to increase security and improve users' online experience, according to the utility. Customers are being required to create new logins and verify their identity by providing up-to-date contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses. But there have been widespread reports of customers encountering technical problems. People say they're being prompted to create new logins online, but getting error messages for everything from registering their accounts to making payments to managing alerts. Some customers may be receiving incorrect messages that their power will be or has been disconnected, PG&E says. PG&E has launched a page with troubleshooting tips for new online accounts that includes a message at the top acknowledging the issue. 'Your new online account has launched. Some customers may experience technical difficulties. We're working on fixing these issues,' the site reads. Once implemented, the redesigned online system will include upgraded security features, new ways to reset your password, and additional ways to pay including Apple Pay, said Tamar Sarkissian, a spokesperson for PG&E. She said PG&E will not charge late fees or cut service due to non-payment while online accounts are unavailable. 'We are aware that some customers are experiencing technical difficulties when attempting to log into their PG&E MyAccount and make online bill payments. We apologize for any inconvenience and want you to know that our dedicated team is working hard to resolve these issues as quickly as possible,' she said in an emailed statement. Customers in need of immediate assistance, including getting copies of recent bills, can contact PG&E via phone at (877) 660-6789. Sarkissian said call center representatives can help with 'most of the transactions you can normally do online.' PG&E's troubleshooting page says customers who wish to pay their bill by phone can do so by calling (877) 704-8470.

iOS 26 Is About To Save You Money On Your Energy Bill
Apple hasn't given the smart home much love on stage at WWDC 2025 this week, but if you dig a little deeper into the dev sessions you'll find a feature that could actually make a dent in your energy bill. Dubbed EnergyKit, it's coming as part of iOS 26, which will arrive later this year. It's all a bit technical right now, but it points toward eventually turning your Apple Home system into a money-saving energy manager for your house. I say system, rather than app, because it sounds as if Apple is going to allow app developers to bake this tech into their own apps, even if those device types aren't currently supported. EnergyKit is a developer framework lets apps tap into Apple's Home energy data, and things like your rate plan and a forecast of when the grid is running cleaner or cheaper, which it will use to shift when your devices draw power. For example, it could allow your EV charger to schedule itself to run when grid rates are low or solar energy is peaking, or have your smart thermostat pre-cool your house before prices spike. If you're hooked up to PG&E (the first and only energy provider supported so far), your Apple Home app can already show this kind of info, but EnergyKit will supercharge things and open it up to developers to build smarter automations on top. Apple says the framework is aimed at residential use, for things like HVAC systems and EV charging. In a video introducing the new tools, we're told that EnergyKit can provide personalized guidance for when to use electricity based on environmental impact and cost. Apple is actually pretty late to the smart energy party, with platforms like SmartThings and Homey pushing energy optimization for a while now; and devices from the likes of Ecobee, Eve and Tado already doing this kind of thing on their own. But this feels like Apple finally putting down a foundation to make its Home app more than just a pretty interface for turning off your lights. The Cupertino tech giant doesn't actually support energy monitoring or EV chargers natively at the moment, but obviously Matter makes this sort of thing easier. If you're a dev, you can read more technical info on EnergyKit over on the Apple Developer website.

Owner of raided Omaha plant says he followed hiring rules
The owner of an Omaha food packaging plant that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided this week said Wednesday that his company relied on the government's web system to verify that his workers were in the country legally. 'We did everything we could possibly do,' Glenn Valley Foods owner Gary Rohwer told The Associated Press. Federal officials arrived at the Nebraska factory on Tuesday to screen nearly 100 people. About 70 employees were taken into custody, as part of President Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown and mass deportation initiative. Glenn Valley Foods is operating at about 30 percent capacity after the raid as the company tries to hire more workers, Rohwer told the AP. Company officials have blamed the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s nationwide E-Verify system, which relies on documents and social security numbers to determine whether potential employees can work in the U.S. legally. 'I'd like to see the United States government … come up with a program that they can communicate to the companies as to how to hire legitimate help. Period,' Rohwer said. The owner explained that federal officials said his company was a victim of unauthorized workers using stolen identities or fake IDs to get around the E-Verify system. Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr., a Democrat who was sworn into office earlier this week, told NewsNation on Wednesday that he didn't know why the Nebraska city was targeted for the large-scale immigration sweep. 'Right now, what is happening across the country is a lot of fear is being created,' Ewing said. 'We don't have an understandable approach to immigration, especially when it comes to our Latino members of this country.' He called on Congress to develop a 'comprehensive immigration policy.'
