FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 6, 2008

PG&E CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS AND

REAFFIRMS GUIDANCE FOR 2008 AND 2009

§	Consolidated earnings from operations and net income reported under GAAP was $0.62 per share for PG&E Corporation in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared with $0.71 per share in the same quarter of 2007. (All amounts are presented on a diluted basis.)

§	Guidance for 2008 earnings from operations is reaffirmed in the $2.90-$3.00 per share range and guidance for 2009 earnings from operations is reaffirmed at $3.15-$3.25 per share.

(San Francisco) – PG&E Corporation’s (NYSE: PCG) consolidated net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $224 million, or $0.62 per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. These results primarily reflect increased expenses to respond to the January winter storms and the scheduled refueling outage at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 2 as compared to the same period last year, when consolidated net income was $256 million, or $0.71 per share.

"We are on track to deliver on our guidance for the year," said Peter A. Darbee, Chairman, CEO and President of PG&E Corporation. "We are proud of our team’s performance during the first three months of the year in connection with the recovery efforts from Northern California’s worst winter storm in more than a decade and the completion of the refueling outage and steam generator replacement project at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 2."

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

PG&E Corporation reaffirms its previous guidance for earnings from operations in the range of $2.90-$3.00 per share for 2008 and reaffirms guidance for 2009 earnings from operations in the $3.15-$3.25 per-share range.

Guidance assumes that PG&E Corporation’s Pacific Gas and Electric Company subsidiary maintains a ratemaking capital structure of 52 percent equity and an authorized return on equity of 11.35 percent while growing its asset base, earning incentive revenues for energy efficiency achievements, and realizing operational efficiencies.

PG&E Corporation bases guidance on “earnings from operations” in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations. Earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for consolidated net income presented in accordance with GAAP (see the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of guidance based on earnings from operations to guidance based on consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP). There were no differences between earnings from operations and consolidated net income as reported in accordance with GAAP for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

Supplemental Financial Information:

In addition to the financial information accompanying this release, an expanded package of supplemental financial and operational information for the quarter will be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and also will be available shortly on PG&E Corporation’s website (www.pgecorp.com).

DEFINITIONS OF 2008 OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE METRICS FROM TABLE 6:

1.	Earnings from Operations:

	Earnings from operations measures PG&E Corporation’s earnings power from ongoing core operations. It allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations (items impacting comparability). The measurement is not in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of earnings from operations to consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP, see Tables 2 and 3 above. The 2008 target for earnings from operations is based on the Utility’s 2008 authorized return on equity. This target is not publicly reported but is consistent with PG&E Corporation’s publicly disclosed guidance range provided for 2008 EPS from operations of $2.90-$3.00.

2.	Customer Satisfaction & Brand Health Index:

	The Customer Satisfaction & Brand Health Index is a combination of a Customer Satisfaction Score, which has a 75 percent weighting and a Brand Favorability Score, which has a 25 percent weighting in the composite. The Customer Satisfaction Score is a measure of overall satisfaction with PG&E’s operational performance in delivering services such as reliability, pricing of services, and customer service experience. The Brand Favorability Score is a measure of the overall favorability towards the PG&E brand, and measures the emotional connection that customers have with the brand and is based on assessing perceptions regarding PG&E’s images, such as trust, heritage, and social responsibility. The Brand Favorability Score will measure residential, small business, and medium business customer perceptions, with weightings based on revenue: 60 percent for residential customers and 40 percent for business customers.

3.	Reliable Energy Delivery:

	Reliable Energy Delivery Index is a composite of four categories outlined below. Overall, these metrics provide a balanced view on the number and duration of electric systems unplanned interruptions, the integrity of the gas transmission and distribution system, and performance of the appropriate level of maintenance and focused investment on the system infrastructure. 1. System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) 2. Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) 3. Execution of Electric-Based Work Units 4. Gas Transmission and Distribution Integrity

4.	Employee Engagement Premier Survey:

	The employee engagement premier survey is designed around 15 key drivers of employee engagement. The average overall employee engagement score provides a comprehensive metric that is derived by averaging the percent favorable responses from all 40 core survey items (all fall into one of the 15 key drivers).

5.	Safety Performance:

	The OSHA Recordable Rate measures the number of OSHA Recordable injuries, illnesses, or exposures that (1) satisfy OSHA requirements for recordability, and (2) occur in the current year. In general, an injury must result in medical treatment beyond first aid or result in work restrictions, death, or loss of consciousness to be OSHA Recordable. The rate measures how frequently OSHA Recordable cases occur for every 200,000 hours worked, or for approximately every 100 employees.

1. These bonds were issued by PG&E Energy Recovery Funding LLC (“PERF”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The proceeds were used by PERF to purchase from Pacific Gas and Electric Company the right, known as "recovery property," to be paid a specified amount from a dedicated rate component. While PERF is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, it is legally separate from Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The assets (including the recovery property) of PERF are not available to creditors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E Corporation, and the recovery property is not legally an asset of Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E Corporation.

2. The stated maturity dates for these pollution control bond loan agreements are December 2016 and November 2026; however these bonds were repurchased by Pacific Gas and Electric Company in April 2008.
