     Opportunities in Renewable Energy

Electric Utilities Corporate Access Day
October 9, 2007 - Chicago, IL

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, as well as management’s projections regarding Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility) capital expenditures, rate base and rate base
growth, future electricity resources, and potential investments in transmission, generation and renewable energy resources. 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, Utility rate base averages $17
billion in 2007 and $18.7 billion in 2008, that the Utility earns at least its authorized rate of return on equ
ity, and that the Utility’s ratemaking capital structure is maintained at 52 percent equity.
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:

•Utility’s ability to timely recover costs through rates; 

•the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including ratemaking proceedings pending at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission; 

•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 business; 

•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 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 incur costs and liabilities 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 risks and factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation’s SEC reports.

Challenges to Meeting RPS Goal

•Increasing competition for renewables projects from other
    states/countries/utilities

•Many renewable resources are located in areas requiring either
    new transmission or transmission upgrades

•Uncertain whether contracts will perform as projected

•System integration of intermittent resources becomes more
    challenging at higher volumes

Renewable Investment Landscape 

•Renewable Provisions in Federal Energy Bill

-PTC (Wind, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydro, Solid Waste)

-ITC (Solar, Geothermal, Distributed Generation) 

-Federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)

•PG&E’s 2007/2008 solicitation open to offers for utility
    ownership

•CPUC provides incentive ROE on utility-owned renewables

15

PG&E Investment Opportunities 

•PG&E is in the early stages of feasibility analysis 

•Includes system-wide survey of land holdings and
   assets for renewable potential

•Technologies include wind, solar and small hydro

16

PCG  Value Summary

•PG&E is a core holding, delivering strong
   investment opportunities and low risk.

•Renewables and related transmission investments
   provide potential earnings “upsides” in 2008 and
   beyond which are not currently included in long-term
   guidance.

Capital Expenditure Outlook

20

* 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.

California’s RPS Program

25

RPS Procurement Process

•PG&E conducts annual renewable RFOs, targeting 1 - 2% increases in
    supply

•Projects are evaluated on:

§Market value

§Creditworthiness

§Transmission availability

§Portfolio fit

§Commercial and technical feasibility

•Bilateral contracts allow PG&E to negotiate unique renewable
    opportunities outside the RFO process.  Projects are evaluated against the
    same metrics.

•PG&E continually examines new opportunities for utility ownership both via
    the RFO process and outside it.

**  May include utility-owned resources.

* Approximately 13% of total retail sales expected to be eligible renewable resources 
   coming from utility-owned, QFs, Irrigation Districts and other sources.
