REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


 
To the Employee Benefit Committee of PG&E Corporation,
and Participants of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As further discussed in Note 2, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

PG&E CORPORATION
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following is a brief description of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”).  The RSP Plan document (“Plan Document”) provides a more complete description of the RSP’s provisions.

General - The RSP is a defined contribution plan covering nonunion employees of PG&E Corporation and all companies owned by PG&E Corporation (collectively, PG&E Corporation Group), as designated by the Employee Benefit Committee (“EBC”).  The RSP is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

The Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation established the EBC to have oversight over the administration and financial management of affiliated company employee benefit plans.  The EBC provides corporate governance and administrative oversight on behalf of the RSP.  The EBC retains Fidelity Management Trust Company as the Trustee of the RSP.

The RSP participates with the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Union-Represented Employees (“Union RSP”), in the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust (“Master Trust”), which holds the investment assets of both plans.  The accompanying financial statements present the assets and liabilities of the RSP only.

Eligibility - Nonunion employees of the PG&E Corporation Group are eligible to participate in the RSP, as defined by the Plan Document.

Contributions - Participating employees may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, from 1 to 20 percent of their covered compensation, as defined in the Plan Document (“Covered Compensation”).  The maximum payroll deduction is 20 percent, as authorized by the Plan Document.  Participating employees’ Covered Compensation for purposes of the RSP is limited by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to $220,000 for the 2006 plan year and $210,000 for the 2005 plan year.  These elective contributions can be on a pre-tax basis, on an after-tax basis, or on a combination of both pre-tax and after-tax basis.

Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans into the RSP.  Pre-tax contributions, earnings on pre-tax and after-tax contributions, employer contributions and any amounts contributed by participants that represent distributions from other qualified plans, are not subject to federal or state income taxes until withdrawn or distributed from the RSP, as set forth by the regulations in the Code.

As provided by the Code, participant pre-tax contributions may not exceed $15,000 for the 2006 plan year and $14,000 for the 2005 plan year.  All RSP contributions, including pre-tax and after-tax participant contributions and all employer contributions, may not exceed the lesser of 100 percent of the participant's Covered Compensation or $44,000 for the 2006 plan year and $42,000 for the 2005 plan year.  In addition, as provided by the Code, participants age 50 and older are permitted to make an additional catch-up deferral contribution of between 1 and 20 percent of the participant's Covered Compensation on a pre-tax basis up to a maximum of $5,000 for the 2006 plan year and $4,000 for the 2005 plan year.

There are two types of employer contributions - matching employer contributions and basic employer contributions:

  •  
Participants who are not accruing service under a defined benefit retirement plan receive a basic employer contribution of 5 percent of Covered Compensation plus, after one year of service, a matching employer contribution of 100 percent of their elective employee contributions up to 5 percent of Covered Compensation.
 
  •  
Participants who are accruing service under a defined benefit retirement plan do not receive a basic employer contribution.  Such participants receive matching employer contributions of 75 percent of their elective employee contributions up to 3 percent of Covered Compensation for employees with one to three years of service and up to 6 percent of Covered Compensation for employees with three or more years of service.

Effective April 1, 2007, the PG&E Corporation Group discontinued the basic employer contribution and changed the matching employer contribution. Employer matching contributions under the RSP for impacted participants are now based on years of service beginning on their PG&E Corporation Group hire date. In addition, all impacted participants began accruing service under the Pacific Gas and Electric Company defined benefit retirement plan beginning April 1, 2007.

Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each participant in the RSP and each account is credited with the participant’s employee elective contributions, employer contributions and an allocation of the income and certain investment management fees of the Master Trust.  Allocations of net investment income and fees are based on participant account balances as defined in the Plan Document.

Vesting - Employer and participant elective contributions and their related accumulated earnings and losses are 100 percent vested at all times.

Investment Options - The EBC is responsible for the selection of the RSP's investment fund managers and the selection of the range of investment options but not the selection of the underlying investment funds.  Neither the EBC nor any of the companies within the PG&E Corporation Group is involved in the investment funds' day-to-day investment operations.  Individual participants designate the way in which their contributions and employer basic contributions are invested and may generally change their investment designation at any time.  Employer matching contributions are initially invested in the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund, but participants may reallocate the employer match to the other investment options once it has been credited to their account.  The RSP also offers participants a broad array of approximately 175 mutual fund options that represent a variety of investment management styles and categories from more than 25 investment companies.

The RSP also contains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  This enables the RSP to pay any dividends when declared on the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund directly to participants.  Participants may elect to receive their dividends earned from this fund in cash, reinvest their dividends earned from this fund back into the fund, or a combination of both.

Participant Loans - Participants may borrow from their account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the market value of the participant's account balance.  Loans for general purposes have terms ranging up to five years and loans for the purchase of a primary residence have terms ranging up to 15 years.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1 percent, as determined by the Trustee, for the month in which the loan is requested.  The rate is set when participants apply for a loan and remains

5


fixed throughout the duration of the loan term.  Principal and interest are paid primarily through payroll deductions and are returned to the participant's account.  Participants may have up to three outstanding loans at any time.

Benefits - Upon termination of service from any company within the PG&E Corporation Group, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the participant's account balance.  The form of payment may be a single lump-sum distribution, periodic payments, or a partial distribution with the remainder paid later.  Participants may also elect to roll their account balances into another qualified plan or account.  Participants whose account balance is $1,000 or less must take a lump-sum distribution of their account balance.  Participants whose account balance is $5,000 or less must either take a lump-sum distribution or rollover their account balance to another qualified plan or IRA.  In the event of a participant's death, the participant's beneficiaries will receive the value of the participant's account balance in a lump-sum payment except as provided in the Plan Document.  Participants must begin taking minimum distributions from the RSP by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which they reach the age 70-1/2.

Withdrawals - Except upon death, total disability, termination or retirement, withdrawal of participant account balances requires approval of the Trustee.  Hardship withdrawals and certain in-service withdrawals are permitted subject to Plan provisions.

Administrative Expenses - Certain costs of administering the RSP, including recordkeeping fees and certain expenses of the Trustee, are shared by the participating companies of the PG&E Corporation Group.  Investment management fees are paid by participants and reduce the investment return reported.

Voting Rights - Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the equivalent shares allocated to the participant's account in the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund and is notified by the Trustee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.  The Trustee is not permitted to vote any share for which a participant has not given instructions.  However, the Trustee is required to vote any unallocated shares on behalf of the collective best interest of the RSP participants and beneficiaries.

Plan Termination - PG&E Corporation's Board of Directors reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event that the RSP is terminated, participants will receive full payment of the balance in their accounts.  No plan assets may revert to PG&E Corporation or any company within the PG&E Corporation Group.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements – In 2006, the RSP adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, which amends SOP 94-4, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (“FSP”).  The FSP states that defined contribution plans should report all investments at fair value.  However, the FSP allows for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts that meet certain criteria to be valued at contract value.  Contract value represents the amount participants in the fund would receive if they were to initiate transactions permitted under the terms of the underlying defined contribution plan.  The RSP’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at fair value including an adjustment to reflect the contract value.  The FSP has been retrospectively adopted and therefore the comparative prior period has been adjusted as if the FSP had been applied in that period.
 

6


The investments in the Master Trust have been analyzed to determine if they meet the specified criteria included in the FSP to be considered fully benefit-responsive.  The RSP Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”) was determined to the meet the criteria (see Note 4 below).
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and the disclosure of contingencies.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - A participant's interest in the investment funds is represented by participation units allocated on the basis of contributions and assigned a unit value on the basis of the total value of each fund.

The RSP's investments (except for the Fund and Participant Loans) are stated at fair value based on published market quotations.  Fair value for participation units is determined by quoted prices in active markets on the last business day of the plan year.  The RSP values investments in the Fund at contract value after the adjustment from fair market value. Participant loans are recorded at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Certain RSP investment funds are composed of portfolios of stock and bond funds.  The portfolios in these investment funds are re-balanced daily based on the participants’ desired investment strategy.  The RSP's investments essentially matched their target mixes as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Interest income, dividends, investment management fees where appropriate, and the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the investments held by the RSP are allocated to the participant's account each day based upon their proportional share of the fund balance.

Interest income is recognized as it is earned; dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the RSP investments consists of: (1) the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments held during the year, and (2) the realized gain or loss recognized on the sale of investments during the year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost basis.

Financial Investments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - The EBC adopted a "Position Statement on Risk Management" that applies to the Master Trust.  This statement recognizes that guidelines for certain plan investment managers allow the use of derivative instruments to achieve investment objectives.  It is the investment manager's responsibility to understand the potential impact of derivatives on the total portfolio under various market risk scenarios, and to comply with these guidelines.  As with other marketable securities, all derivatives are in the custody of the Trustee and are valued daily.  As of and during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the RSP and the Master Trust held no investments in derivative instruments.

Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.  There were no amounts allocated to the accounts of participants who had elected to withdraw from the RSP but had not been paid at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 3:  INVESTMENTS

The RSP's investment funds are managed by the Trustee or an investment manager, who has discretionary investment authority over the funds.  These RSP investment funds consist of various underlying investments.

The RSP utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds and common stock.  Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 4: RSP STABLE VALUE FUND

The Master Trust holds investments in the Fund.  The key objectives of the Fund are to provide preservation of principal, earn a reasonable interest crediting rate and provide daily liquidity at contract value for participant withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

To accomplish these objectives the Fund invests primarily in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“synthetic GICs”).  Under the synthetic GICs structure the Fund purchases wrapper contracts (“contracts”) primarily from insurance companies or other financial services institutions.  The underlying investments in the contracts are owned by the Fund and held in trust for the plan participants.  The realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments are amortized over the investments’ terms by adjustments to the future interest crediting rate, which is the rate earned by participants in the Fund for the underlying investments.

The future interest crediting rates for the contracts are affected by the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant contributions, transfers and withdrawals, investment returns generated by the underlying investments and the duration of the underlying investments.  The issuer of the contracts provides assurance that adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero, which would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.  The contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly basis.

9


The interest crediting rate is the rate that ensures participants will receive the required rate of return.  The interest crediting rate could be impacted by market interest rates because they affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments.  The market value liquidation of the underlying investments ensures the participant withdrawals and transfers from the Fund are paid at contract value.  The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the contracts’ value are presented in the RSP’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the “Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts” and in Note 3 for the total master trust investments.  The contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent.

The average yield of the synthetic GICs in the Master Trust based on earnings was approximately 5.14% and 4.85% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The average yield of the synthetic GICs in the Master Trust based on interest rates credited to participants was approximately 4.89% and 4.40% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The events that would require the contracts to be withdrawn at fair value rather than contract value include termination of the RSP, a material adverse change to the provisions of the RSP, if the investment manager or participant elects to withdraw from a contract in order to replace the Fund with a different investment option, or if the terms of a successor plan (in the event of the spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a identical contract.  The events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than contract value are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

Events that would permit the issuer to terminate a contract upon short notice include the RSP’s loss of its qualified status, unresolved material breaches of responsibilities, or material adverse changes to the provisions of the RSP.  If one of these events was to occur, the contract issuer could terminate at the market value of the underlying investments.

NOTE 6:  FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ruled that the RSP is a qualified tax-exempt plan under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code.  Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the RSP financial statements.  Furthermore, participating employees are not liable for federal income tax on amounts allocated to their accounts attributable to:  (1) pre-tax participant contributions, (2) reinvested dividends, earnings, and interest income on both pre-tax and after-tax contributions, or (3) employer contributions, until the time that they withdraw such amounts from the RSP.

PG&E Corporation received a favorable tax determination letter from the IRS on March 3, 2003.  Accordingly, PG&E Corporation believes that the RSP is designed and continues to operate in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Employee Benefit Committee of PG&E Corporation,
and Participants of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan
for Union-Represented Employees:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Union-Represented Employees (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As further discussed in Note 2, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR
UNION-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following is a brief description of the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Union-Represented Employees (“Union RSP”).  The Union RSP Plan document (“Plan Document”) provides a more complete description of the Union RSP's provisions.

General - The Union RSP is a defined contribution plan covering union employees of PG&E Corporation and all companies owned by PG&E Corporation (collectively, PG&E Corporation Group), as designated by the Employee Benefit Committee (“EBC”).  Pacific Gas and Electric Company had participants in this plan during 2006 and 2005.  The Union RSP is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, (“ERISA”), as amended.

The Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation established the EBC to have oversight over the administration and financial management of affiliated company employee benefit plans.  The EBC provides corporate governance and administrative oversight on behalf of the Union RSP.  The EBC retains Fidelity Management Trust Company as the Trustee of the Union RSP.

The Union RSP participates with the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”), in the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust (“Master Trust”), which holds the investment assets of both plans.  The accompanying financial statements present the assets and liabilities of the Union RSP only.

Eligibility - All union employees of the PG&E Corporation Group are eligible to participate in the Union RSP, as defined by the Plan Document.

Contributions - Participating employees may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, from 1 to 20 percent of their covered compensation, as defined in the Plan Document (“Covered Compensation”).  The maximum payroll deduction is 20 percent, as authorized by the Plan Document.  Participating employees’ Covered Compensation for purposes of the Union RSP is limited by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to $220,000 for the 2006 plan year and $210,000 for the 2005 plan year.  These elective contributions can be on a pre-tax basis, on an after-tax basis, or a combination of both pre-tax and after-tax basis.

Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans into the Union RSP.  Pre-tax contributions, earnings on pre-tax and after-tax contributions, employer contributions and any amounts contributed by participants that represent distributions from other qualified plans, are not subject to federal or state income taxes until withdrawn or distributed from the Union RSP, as set forth by the regulations in the Code.

As provided by the Code, participant pre-tax contributions may not exceed $15,000 for the 2006 plan year and $14,000 for the 2005 plan year.  Union RSP contributions, including pre-tax and after-tax participant contributions and all employer contributions, may not exceed the lesser of 100 percent of the participant's Covered Compensation or $44,000 for the 2006 plan year and $42,000 for the 2005 plan year.  In addition, as provided by the Code, participants aged 50 and

4


older are permitted to make an additional catch-up deferral contribution of between 1 and 20 percent of the participant's Covered Compensation on a pre-tax basis up to a maximum of $5,000 for the 2006 plan year and $4,000 for the 2005 plan year.

Matching employer contributions are made on behalf of all eligible employees who elect to contribute to the Union RSP.  Effective October 1, 2003, matching employer contributions for participants are made in the following percentages according to years of service:

Length of Service
 
Matching Employer Contribution
     
Less than 1 year of service
 
No employer match.
     
1 year or more but less than
   3 years of service
 
50 percent of the participant's pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions up to 3 percent of the eligible employee's Covered Compensation.
     
3 years of service or more
 
50 percent of the participant's pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions up to 6 percent of the eligible employee's Covered Compensation.

Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each participant in the Union RSP and each account is credited with the participant's employee elective contributions, employer contributions, an allocation of the net investment income and certain investment management fees of the Master Trust.  Allocations of net investment income and fees are based on participant account balances as defined in the Plan Document.

Vesting - Employer and participant elective contributions and their related accumulated earnings and losses are 100 percent vested at all times.

Investment Options - The EBC is responsible for the selection of the Union RSP's investment fund managers and the selection of the range of investment options but not the selection of the underlying investment funds.  Neither the EBC nor any of the companies within the PG&E Corporation Group is involved in the investment funds' day-to-day investment operations.  Individual participants designate the way in which their contributions are invested and may generally change their investment designation at any time. Employer matching contributions are initially invested in the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund, but participants may reallocate the employer match to the other investment options once it has been credited to their account.  The Union RSP also offers participants a broad array of approximately 175 mutual fund options that represent a variety of investment management styles and categories from more than 25 investment companies.

The Union RSP also contains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This enables the Union RSP to pay any dividends when declared on the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund directly to participants.  Participants may elect to receive their dividends earned from this fund in cash, reinvest their dividends earned from this fund back into the fund, or a combination of both.

Participant Loans - Participants may borrow from their account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the market value of the participant's account balance.  Loans for general purposes have terms ranging up to five years and loans for the purchase of a primary residence have terms ranging up to 15 years.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1 percent, as determined by the Trustee, for the month in which the loan is requested.  The rate is

5


set when participants apply for a loan and remains fixed throughout the duration of the loan term.  Principal and interest are paid primarily through payroll deductions and are returned to the participant's account.  Participants may have up to three outstanding loans at any time.

Benefits - Upon termination of service from any company within the PG&E Corporation Group, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the participant's account balance.  The form of payment may be a single lump-sum distribution, periodic payments, or a partial distribution with the remainder paid later.  Participants may also elect to roll their account balances into another qualified plan or account.  Participants whose account balance is $1,000 or less must take a lump-sum distribution of their account balance.  Participants whose account balance is $5,000 or less must either take a lump-sum distribution or rollover their account balance to another qualified plan or IRA.  In the event of a participant's death, the participant's beneficiaries will receive the value of the participant's account balance in a lump-sum payment except as provided in the Plan Document.  Participants must begin taking minimum distributions from the Union RSP by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which they reach the age 70-1/2.

Withdrawals - Except upon death, total disability, termination or retirement, withdrawal of participant account balances requires approval of the Trustee.  Hardship withdrawals and certain in-service withdrawals are permitted subject to Plan provisions.

Administrative Expenses - Certain costs of administering the Union RSP, including recordkeeping fees and certain expenses of the Trustee, are shared by the participating companies of the PG&E Corporation Group.  Investment management fees are paid by participants and reduce the investment return reported.

Voting Rights - Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the equivalent shares allocated to the participant's account in the PG&E Corporation Stock Fund and is notified by the Trustee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.  The Trustee is not permitted to vote any share for which a participant has not given instructions.  However, the Trustee is required to vote any unallocated shares on behalf of the collective best interest of the Union RSP participants and beneficiaries.

Plan Termination - PG&E Corporation's Board of Directors reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event the Union RSP is terminated, participants will receive full payment of the balance in their accounts.  No plan assets may revert to PG&E Corporation or any company within the PG&E Corporation Group.
 
NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In 2006, the Union RSP adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, which amends SOP 94-4, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (“FSP”).  The FSP states that defined contribution plans should report all investments at fair value.  However, the FSP allows for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts that meet certain criteria to be valued at contract value.  Contract value represents the amount participants in the fund would receive if they were to initiate transactions permitted under the terms of the underlying defined contribution plan.  The Union RSP’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fully-benefit responsive investment contracts at fair value including an adjustment to reflect the contract value.  The FSP has been
 

6


retrospectively adopted and therefore the comparative prior period has been adjusted as if the FSP had been applied in that period.
 
The investments in the Master Trust have been analyzed to determine if they meet the specified criteria included in the FSP to be considered fully benefit-responsive.  The RSP Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”) was determined to meet the criteria (see Note 4 below).
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and the disclosure of contingencies.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - A participant's interest in the investment funds is represented by participation units allocated on the basis of contributions and assigned a unit value on the basis of the total value of each fund.

The Union RSP's investments (except for the Fund and Participant Loans) are stated at fair value based on published market quotations.  Fair value for units is determined by quoted prices in active markets on the last business day of the plan year.  The Union RSP values investments in the Fund at contract value after the adjustment from fair market value.  Participant loans are recorded at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Certain Union RSP investment funds are composed of portfolios of stock and bond funds.  The portfolios in these investment funds are re-balanced daily based on the participants’ desired investment strategy. The Union RSP's investments essentially matched their target mixes as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Interest income, dividends, investment management fees where appropriate, and the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the investments held by the Union RSP are allocated to the participant's account each day based upon the account’s proportional share of the fund balances.

Interest income is recognized as it is earned; dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of the Union RSP's investments consists of: (1) the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments held during the year, and (2) the realized gain or loss recognized on the sale of investments during the year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost basis.

Financial Investments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - The EBC adopted a "Position Statement on Risk Management" that applies to the Master Trust.  This statement recognizes that guidelines for certain plan investment managers allow the use of derivative instruments to achieve investment objectives.  It is the investment manager's responsibility to understand the potential impact of derivatives on the total portfolio under various market risk scenarios, and to comply with these guidelines.  As with other marketable securities, all derivatives are in the custody of the Trustee and are valued daily.  As of and during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Union RSP and the Master Trust held no investments in derivative instruments.

7


Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.  There were no amounts allocated to the accounts of the participants who had elected to withdraw from the Union RSP but had not been paid at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 3:  INVESTMENTS

The Union RSP's investment funds are managed by the Trustee or an investment manager, who has discretionary investment authority over the funds.  These Union RSP investment funds consist of various underlying investments.

The Union RSP utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds and common stock.  Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reporting in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 4: RSP STABLE VALUE FUND

The Master Trust holds investments in the Fund.  The key objectives of the Fund are to provide preservation of principal, earn a reasonable interest crediting rate, and provide daily liquidity at contract value for participant withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

To accomplish these objectives the Fund invests primarily in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“synthetic GICs”).  Under the synthetic GICs structure the Fund purchases wrapper contracts (“contracts”) primarily from insurance companies or other financial services institutions.  The underlying investments in the contracts are owned by the Fund and held in trust for the plan participants.  The realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments are amortized over the investments’ terms by adjustments to the future interest crediting rate, which is the rate earned by participants in the Fund for the underlying investments.

The future interest crediting rates for the contracts are affected by the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant contributions, transfers and withdrawals, investment returns generated by the underlying investments and the duration of the underlying investments.  The issuer of the contracts provides assurance that adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero, which would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.  The contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly basis.

9



The interest crediting rate is the rate that ensures participants will receive the required rate of return.  The interest crediting rate could be impacted by market interest rates because they affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments.  The market value liquidation of the underlying investments ensures the participant withdrawals and transfers from the Fund are paid at contract value.  The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the contracts’ value are presented in the Union RSP’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the “Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts” and in Note 3 for the total master trust investments.  The contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent.

The average yield of the synthetic GICs in the Master Trust based on earnings was approximately 5.14% and 4.85% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The average yield of the synthetic GICs in the Master Trust based on interest rates credited to participants was approximately 4.89% and 4.40% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The events that would require the contracts to be withdrawn at fair value rather than contract value include termination of the Union RSP, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Union RSP, if the investment manager or participant elects to withdraw from a contract in order to replace the Fund with a different investment option, or if the terms of a successor plan (in the event of the spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a identical contract.  The events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than contract value are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

Events that would permit the issuer to terminate a contract upon short notice include the Union RSP’s loss of its qualified status, unresolved material breaches of responsibilities, or material adverse changes to the provisions of the Union RSP.  If one of these events was to occur, the contract issuer could terminate at the market value of the underlying investments.

NOTE 6: FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ruled that the Union RSP is a qualified tax-exempt plan under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code.  Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the Union RSP's financial statements.  Furthermore, participating employees are not liable for federal income tax on amounts allocated to their accounts attributable to: (1) pre-tax participant contributions, (2) reinvested dividends, earnings, and interest income on both pre-tax and after-tax contributions, or (3) employer contributions, until the time that they withdraw such amounts from the Union RSP.

PG&E Corporation received a favorable tax determination letter from the IRS on March 17, 2004.  Accordingly, PG&E Corporation believes that the Union RSP is designed and continues to operate in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
