Actual results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:

—   Unanticipated changes in operating expenses or capital expenditures, which may affect the Utility’s ability to earn its authorized rate of return;  

—   How the Utility manages its responsibility to procure electric capacity and energy for its customers;  

—   The adequacy and price of natural gas supplies, and the ability of the Utility to manage and respond to the volatility of the natural gas market for its customers;  

—   The operation of the Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, which could cause the Utility to incur potentially significant environmental costs and capital expenditures, and the extent to which the Utility is able to timely increase its spent nuclear fuel storage capacity at Diablo Canyon;  

—   Whether the Utility is able to recognize the anticipated cost benefits and savings to result from its efforts to improve customer service through implementation of specific initiatives to streamline business processes and deploy new technology;  

—   The outcome of proceedings pending at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), including the Utility’s 2007 General Rate Case and the CPUC’s pending investigation into the Utility’s billing and collection practices;  

—   How the CPUC administers the capital structure, stand-alone dividend, and first priority conditions of the CPUC’s decisions permitting the establishment of holding companies for the California investor-owned electric utilities, and the outcome of the CPUC's new rulemaking proceeding concerning the relationship between the California investor-owned energy utilities and their holding companies and non-regulated affiliates;  

—   The impact of the recently adopted Energy Policy Act of 2005 and future legislative or regulatory actions or policies affecting the energy industry;

SLIDE 10 2007 GRC Utility requests $433 million revenue requirement (RRQ) increase over the projected authorized 2006 base RRQ. Intervenor Testimony Filed Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) request is approximately $450 M below PG&E’s request. The Utility Reform Network (TURN) request is being analyzed but appears to be at least $500 M below PG&E’s request. Next Steps in the Schedule Hearings scheduled to begin on May 31, 2006 and conclude by July. Briefs and Reply Briefs to be filed July 27 - August 10

Earnings will be reduced by an amount equal to the deferred tax balance associated with the regulatory asset, multiplied by the utility's equity ratio and by its equity return. The carrying cost credit declines to zero when the taxes are fully paid in 2012.

The agreement related to the Calpine Hayward project is a letter of intent to execute a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The execution of the PPA is subject to certain financial conditions, including that the associated Calpine entity emerge from bankruptcy or transfer the project site to a bankruptcy remote entity. If these conditions are not satisfied by October 2006, the letter of intent will terminate. Capital expenditures for the utility-owned generation are estimated to be in the range of $900 - 1,100 per KW.

This non-GAAP measure is used because it is an indicator of overall efficiency and productivity in delivering energy to PG&E customers.

SLIDE 21 Definitions of Operational Performance Metrics Overall Customer Satisfaction. PG&E measures residential and business customer satisfaction with annual industry wide surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates, as well as with proprietary studies using the same survey in intervening quarters. The overall customer satisfaction metric represents the year-to-date average of the residential and business overall customer satisfaction scores from both the J.D. Powers-administered and proprietary surveys. The metric is calculated by first averaging the available residential and business satisfaction scores (each with 50% weighting) in each quarter and then averaging all available quarterly composite scores for the final year-to-date metric value. Timely Bills. Measures the percentage of bills that have been issued timely to customers (i.e., within 35 days of the last scheduled meter read). Estimated Time of Outage Restoration Accuracy. The percentage of outage occurrences, weighted by customers affected, where the majority of customers have been given accurate outage duration information in the early stages of an outage. If the actual time of outage restoration does not occur within the two-hour window given to customers, the measure is considered “missed” for the customers affected by that outage. System Average Interruption Duration Index. SAIDI is an indicator of system reliability that measures the average outage time (in minutes) that a customer experiences in a year (Total customer interruption durations/ Total number of customer served). System Average Interruption Frequency Index. SAIFI is an indicator of system reliability that measures the average number of interruptions that a customer experiences in a year (Total number of customer interruptions/ Total number of customers served) Combined Energy Availability. Comprised of two, equally-weighted principal components: a generation availability (GA) component and an energy procurement (EP) component, expressed on a scale of 0 to 2 (with 2 representing the greatest energy availability). The GA component is the annual average percentage of PG&E’s total hydroelectric, fossil (excluding Hunters Point) and nuclear generation capacity that is physically capable of producing power. The GA component captures losses of capacity attributed to equipment failures or planned maintenance, including transmission-related events which constrain generation output. The 0.5 to 2 scale for the GA component spans between 83.57% and 89.57% availability. The EP component measures whether sufficient resources are in place to meet load requirements and to maximize the availability of ancillary services to the CAISO in order for the CAISO to maintain system reliability and to minimize the frequency of CAISO stage alerts in PG&E’s service area. The Combined Energy Availability score could be impacted by either the EP component or the GA component

SLIDE 22 Definitions of Operational Performance Metrics (continued) Telephone Service Level. Measures the percent of customer calls that have been either (1) completed by automated voice response systems for self-service, or (2) answered in 20 seconds or less by customer service representatives. Total Expense per Customer. Measures the average annual cost of operations per customer and includes all budget expense items, including business unit and corporate service department expenses, casualty, benefits, severance, and insurance. This metric excludes capital-related costs such as depreciation and interest, and the commodity costs of gas and electricity. The denominator is defined as the total average number of active gas and electric customer accounts for the year. This metric is an indicator of overall efficiency and productivity in delivering energy to PG&E customers. Diablo Canyon Composite Performance Index. Performance Index is intended to provide a quantitative indication of plant performance in the areas of nuclear plant safety and reliability, and plant efficiency. Employee Premier Survey Index. Provides a comprehensive indicator of employee satisfaction that is derived by averaging the percentage of favorable responses from all 40 core survey items within the Premier survey. Lost Workday Case Rate. Measures the number of non-fatal injury and illness cases that (1) satisfy OSHA requirements for recordability, (2) occur in the current year, and (3) result in at least one day away from work. The rate measures how frequently new lost workday cases occur for every 200,000 hours worked, or for approximately every 100 employees.
