CapEx Outlook

Actual

* Actual 2008 and projected 2009-2011 rate base is not adjusted for the impact of the carrying cost credit that primarily results from the second series of
the Energy Recovery Bonds. Earnings will be reduced by an amount equal to the deferred tax balance associated with the Energy Recovery Bonds
regulatory asset, multiplied by the Utility's equity ratio and by its equity return. This rate base offset carrying cost declines to zero when the taxes are
fully paid in 2012.

… and limiting risk from new
carbon legislation

This presentation contains management’s guidance for PG&E Corporation’s 2009, 2010 and 2011 earnings per share from operations, projections of Pacific
Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility) capital expenditures, rate base and rate base growth, and projections of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financing
needs. These statements and projections, as well as the underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations
which management believes are reasonable. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties, the realization or
resolution of which may be outside of management's control. Actual results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
include:

• the Utility’s ability to manage capital expenditures and its operating and maintenance expenses within authorized levels;

• the outcome of pending and future regulatory proceedings and whether the Utility is able to timely recover its costs through rates;

• the adequacy and price of electricity and natural gas supplies, and the ability of the Utility to manage and respond to the volatility of the electricity and natural gas markets,
including the ability of the Utility and its counterparties to post or return collateral;

• the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, disruptions of information technology
or computer systems, acts of terrorism, and other events or hazards on the Utility’s facilities and operations, its customers, and third parties on which the Utility relies;

• the potential impacts of climate change on the Utility’s electricity and natural gas businesses;

• changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas resulting from unanticipated population growth or decline, general economic and financial market conditions,
changes in technology, including the development of alternative energy sources, or other reasons;

• operating performance of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (“Diablo Canyon”), the availability of nuclear fuel, the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon or the
temporary or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;

• whether the Utility can maintain the cost savings it has recognized from operating efficiencies it has achieved and identify and successfully implement additional sustainable
cost-saving measures;

• whether the Utility incurs substantial expense to improve the safety and reliability of its electric and natural gas systems;

• whether the Utility achieves the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) energy efficiency targets and recognizes any incentives the Utility may earn in a timely manner;

• the impact of changes in federal or state laws, or their interpretation, on energy policy and the regulation of utilities and their holding companies;

• the impact of changing wholesale electric or gas market rules, including new rules of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to restructure the California
wholesale electricity market;

• how the CPUC administers the conditions imposed on PG&E Corporation when it became the Utility’s holding company;

• the extent to which PG&E Corporation or the Utility incurs costs and liabilities in connection with litigation that are not recoverable through rates, from insurance, or from other
third parties;

• the ability of PG&E Corporation, the Utility, and counterparties, to access capital markets and other sources of credit in a timely manner on acceptable terms, especially given
the recent deteriorating conditions in the economy and financial markets;

• the impact of environmental laws and regulations and the costs of compliance and remediation;

• the effect of municipalization, direct access, community choice aggregation, or other forms of bypass;

• the outcome of federal or state tax audits and the impact of changes in federal or state tax laws, policies, or regulations; and

• other factors and risks discussed in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

* Earnings per share from operations is a non-GAAP measure. This non-GAAP measure is used because it allows
investors to compare the core underlying financial performance from one period to another, exclusive of items that do not
reflect the normal course of operations.

** Items impacting comparability reconcile earnings from operations with consolidated net income as reported in accordance
with GAAP. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008, PG&E Corporation recognized $257 million of
net income resulting from a settlement of tax audits for tax years 2001 through 2004. Of this amount, $154 million was
related to PG&E Corporation’s former subsidiary, National Energy & Gas Transmission, Inc., and was recorded as income
from discontinued operations
