This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding management’s guidance for PG&E Corporation’s 2007 and 2008 earnings per share from operations, targeted average
annual growth rate for earnings per share from operations, projected cash available for dividends, anticipated dividend growth, and liquidity targets, as well as management’s projections
regarding Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility) capital expenditures, rate base and rate base growth, costs and savings anticipated to result the implementation of business
transformation initiatives, future electricity resources, energy efficiency funding levels, and forecasted electricity and natural gas sales over the 2007 to 2011 period. These statements
are based on current expectations and various assumptions which management believes are reasonable, including that substantial capital investments are made in Utility business over
the 2007-2011 period, and that the Utility earns an authorized return on equity of 11.35%. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties
the realization or resolution of which are 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 timely recover costs through rates;
the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including ratemaking proceedings pending at the CPUC and the FERC;
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;
the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, acts of terrorism, and other events or
hazards that could affect 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 operations;
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 Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear generating facilities (Diablo Canyon), the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon, or the temporary
or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;
the ability of the Utility to recognize benefits from its initiatives to improve its business processes and customer service;
the ability of the Utility to timely complete its planned capital investment projects;
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 the California Independent System Operator’s (CAISO), new rules 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 in connection with pending litigation that are not recoverable through rates, from third parties, or through
insurance recoveries;
the ability of PG&E Corporation and/or the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of credit;
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; and
other factors discussed in PG&E Corporation’s SEC reports.

Financial Drivers And Assumptions
Utility earns at least its 11.35% authorized return on equity;
electric transmission earns at least 12%
Ratemaking capital structure is maintained at 52% equity
A “baseline” level of Transformation savings have been
included in our projections
Resolution of FERC Generator Claims could result in additional
financing requirements
Capital expenditure forecast reflects projects that are highly
likely or already approved

Capital Expenditure Outlook

* Projected 2007-2011 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. The carrying cost credit declines to zero when the taxes are fully paid in 2012.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding management’s guidance for PG&E Corporation’s 2007 and 2008 earnings per share from operations, targeted average
annual growth rate for earnings per share from operations, projected cash available for dividends, anticipated dividend growth, and liquidity targets, as well as management’s projections
regarding Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility) capital expenditures, rate base and rate base growth, costs and savings anticipated to result the implementation of business
transformation initiatives, future electricity resources, energy efficiency funding levels, and forecasted electricity and natural gas sales over the 2007 to 2011 period. These statements
are based on current expectations and various assumptions which management believes are reasonable, including that substantial capital investments are made in Utility business over
the 2007-2011 period, and that the Utility earns an authorized return on equity of 11.35%. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties
the realization or resolution of which are 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 timely recover costs through rates;
the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including ratemaking proceedings pending at the CPUC and the FERC;
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;
the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, acts of terrorism, and other events or
hazards that could affect 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 operations;
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 Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear generating facilities (Diablo Canyon), the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon, or the temporary
or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;
the ability of the Utility to recognize benefits from its initiatives to improve its business processes and customer service;
the ability of the Utility to timely complete its planned capital investment projects;
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 the California Independent System Operator’s (CAISO), new rules 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 in connection with pending litigation that are not recoverable through rates, from third parties, or through
insurance recoveries;
the ability of PG&E Corporation and/or the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of credit;
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; and
other factors discussed in PG&E Corporation’s SEC reports.
