100% of its generation and grid stability is provided by PG&E. All it provides is the local distro and local maintenance. Also, in a low generation scenario, you are the first to be cut off to save the rest of the grid.

Sounds like we have a solution! Get PG&E out of distribution. They can keep running power plants, where there is at least competition.

I thought PG&E bought their generation wholesale (~ 3-4c/kwh)
