INTRODUCTORY NOTE

                    This Amendment No. 1 to the the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002,  amends and restates in its entirety Part II, Item 4 (Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders) to report the number of broker non-votes cast on  five  management proposals submitted to Utility shareholders for approval at the 2002 joint annual meeting of shareholders of PG&E Corporation and the Utility held on April 17, 2002.  The broker non-votes were omitted from the original report.    The inclusion of the broker non-votes does not affect whether these management proposals (identified as items five through nine in the joint proxy statement) were approved by the Utility’s shareholders.  Each of the five proposals requested approval of amendments to the Utility’s articles of incorporation, and therefore required approval from a majority of the Utility’s  outstanding voting stock.  The number of affirmative votes required to approve the proposals was fixed as of the record date, and the results are unaffected by the number of votes cast against the proposals, abstentions, or broker non-votes.
                    Although the full text of Part II, Item 4 is contained herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not update information for any of the matters submitted for vote to PG&E Corporation’s shareholders or any other matters submitted for vote to the Utility’s  shareholders.  This Amendment No. 1 also does not update any other disclosures to reflect developments since the original date of filing.
