So far as I can tell from quick reading, PG&E's lobbying is focused on: 1. Pushing liability for disasters (natural and artificial) from the company onto customers and taxpayers. 2. Getting regulators to allow them to lower the safety margins on their infrastructure (a major cause behind the San Bruno explosion). 3. Fighting Community Choice Aggregation programs, which sound most similar to what you describe. CCA programs are not as you described - they would not remove PG&E from the electricity market in cities. Rather, they allow cities to generate or purchase their own electricity and deliver it over PG&E grids. As I described, this takes away PG&E's major revenue stream (per-kWh rates) while leaving them with their fixed cost (grid maintenance).
