      December 12, 2007, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility) filed an
      application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting
      approval to upgrade elements of the Utility&#8217;s existing advanced metering
      infrastructure, known as the SmartMeter&#8482; program, originally proposed by the
      Utility in 2005 and approved by the CPUC in July 2006.&#160;&#160;The Utility
      seeks approval to install solid-state electric meters that would offer an
      expanded range of service features for customers and increased operational
      efficiencies for the Utility.&#160;&#160;The solid-state meters would include
      (i) built-in load-limiting connect-disconnect switches to allow the Utility
      to
      connect and disconnect power to a customer&#8217;s premises remotely and (ii) home
      area network (HAN) gateway devices that would provide for enhanced two-way
      communication with programmable communicating thermostats and other in-home
      devices.&#160;&#160;These upgraded meters would provide energy conservation and
      demand response options for electric customers.&#160;&#160;In addition, the
      solid-state electric meters are<strong>&#160;</strong>designed to facilitate the
      Utility&#8217;s ability to incorporate future advanced metering technology innovations
      in a timely and cost-effective manner.&#160;(As stated in the application, the
      Utility is also evaluating an emerging meter reading network technology known
      as
      RF Mesh to potentially upgrade its current power line carrier network
      technology.&#160;&#160;The application does not, however, seek incremental
      funding for the network upgrade project.&#160;&#160;The Utility anticipates
      funding the network upgrade within previously approved CPUC funding
      levels.)</font></div>

    <div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="left"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman;">The
      Utility estimates that these upgrades will cost approximately $623 million
      over
      the forecast five-year installation period, including approximately $565 million
      of forecasted capital expenditures.&#160;&#160;The Utility forecasts that the
      cost of these upgrades will be fully offset over the 20-year expected useful
      life of the meters by operational cost savings and benefits resulting from
      new
      energy conservation and demand response programs and initiatives.&#160;&#160;The
      Utility has requested that the CPUC authorize the Utility to collect estimated
      total revenue requirements of approximately $360 million through customer
      electric rates over the years 2009 through 2012 in order to recover the
      estimated capital and expense of the upgrades.</font></div>

      Utility may begin implementing certain upgrades during the second half of
      2008.&#160;&#160;The Utility has proposed a procedural schedule that
      contemplates that a pre-hearing conference would be held in January 2008, and
      that a final decision would be issued by the CPUC by October 16,
      2008.&#160;&#160;PG&amp;E Corporation and the Utility cannot predict the outcome
      of this proceeding.</font></div>

Item
      8.01.  Other Events
On
      December 12, 2007, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility) filed an
      application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting
      approval to upgrade elements of the Utility's existing advanced metering
      infrastructure, known as the SmartMeter™ program, originally proposed by the
      Utility in 2005 and approved by the CPUC in July 2006.  The Utility
      seeks approval to install solid-state electric meters that would offer an
      expanded range of service features for customers and increased operational
      efficiencies for the Utility.  The solid-state meters would include
      (i) built-in load-limiting connect-disconnect switches to allow the Utility
      to
      connect and disconnect power to a customer's premises remotely and (ii) home
      area network (HAN) gateway devices that would provide for enhanced two-way
      communication with programmable communicating thermostats and other in-home
      devices.  These upgraded meters would provide energy conservation and
      demand response options for electric customers.  In addition, the
      solid-state electric meters are
designed to facilitate the
      Utility's ability to incorporate future advanced metering technology innovations
      in a timely and cost-effective manner. (As stated in the application, the
      Utility is also evaluating an emerging meter reading network technology known
      as
      RF Mesh to potentially upgrade its current power line carrier network
      technology.  The application does not, however, seek incremental
      funding for the network upgrade project.  The Utility anticipates
      funding the network upgrade within previously approved CPUC funding
      levels.)
The
      Utility estimates that these upgrades will cost approximately $623 million
      over
      the forecast five-year installation period, including approximately $565 million
      of forecasted capital expenditures.  The Utility forecasts that the
      cost of these upgrades will be fully offset over the 20-year expected useful
      life of the meters by operational cost savings and benefits resulting from
      new
      energy conservation and demand response programs and initiatives.  The
      Utility has requested that the CPUC authorize the Utility to collect estimated
      total revenue requirements of approximately $360 million through customer
      electric rates over the years 2009 through 2012 in order to recover the
      estimated capital and expense of the upgrades.
The
      Utility may begin implementing certain upgrades during the second half of
      2008.  The Utility has proposed a procedural schedule that
      contemplates that a pre-hearing conference would be held in January 2008, and
      that a final decision would be issued by the CPUC by October 16,
      2008.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility cannot predict the outcome
      of this proceeding.
