            previously disclosed, PG&amp;E
            Corporation and its subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility),
            have
            been engaged in discussions to resolve claims pending in the Superior
            Court for
            the County of Los Angeles (Superior Court) involving allegations that
            exposure
            to chromium at or near certain of the Utility&#8217;s natural gas compressor stations
            caused personal injuries, wrongful deaths, or other injuries (the &#8220;Chromium
            Litigation&#8221;). On February 3, 2006, the Utility entered into a settlement
            agreement with attorneys for certain plaintiffs to resolve substantially
            all of
            these claims. Of the approximately 1,200 plaintiffs in the Chromium Litigation,
            the settlement agreement resolves claims brought by approximately 1,100
            plaintiffs. The Utility has agreed to pay $295 million to the settling
            plaintiffs. As previously disclosed, the Utility already has accrued
            $160
            million relating to the Chromium Litigation. PG&amp;E Corporation&#8217;s and the
            Utility&#8217;s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005, will include
            an additional accrual of approximately $155 million to reflect both the
            settlement and the remaining unresolved claims. The additional accrual
            of $155
            million will be included in PG&amp;E Corporation&#8217;s and the Utility&#8217;s 2005
            financial results to be reported in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles. PG&amp;E Corporation and the Utility do not expect that
            the outcome with respect to the remaining unresolved claims will have
            a material
            adverse affect on their financial condition or results of
            operations.&#160;</font></div>

            settling
            plaintiffs are required to execute general releases in favor of the Utility,
            PG&amp;E Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, and other affiliates,
            as to any and all claims asserted or which could have been asserted in
            the
            Chromium Litigation. After receipt of releases from at least 90% of the
            settling
            plaintiffs, executed requests for dismissals with prejudice of the settled
            litigation, and documentation evidencing the Superior Court&#8217;s approval of the
            compromises or settlements with the settling plaintiffs who are minors,
            payments
            will be released from escrow to the plaintiffs who have submitted executed
            releases. If 90% of the settling plaintiffs do not execute releases by
            September
            15, 2006,&#160;including a release signed by each of the eighteen plaintiffs

            previously disclosed, the California
            Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is conducting an investigation into
            the
            Utility's billing and collection practices. On February 3, 2006, the
            CPUC&#8217;s
            Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD) and The Utility Reform
            Network
            (TURN) submitted their reports to the CPUC concluding that the Utility
            violated
            applicable tariffs related to delayed and estimated bills. The CPSD recommends
            that the Utility refund to customers $117 million, plus interest at the
            three-month commercial paper interest rate, that allegedly was collected
            in
            violation of the tariffs. TURN recommends that the Utility refund to
            customers
            $53 million, plus interest at the three-month commercial paper interest
            rate,
            that allegedly was collected in violation of the tariffs. The two refund
            proposals are not additive. CPSD also recommends that the Utility pay
            fines of
            $6.75 million, while TURN recommends fines in the form of a $1 million
            contribution to REACH (Relief for Energy Assistance through Community
            Help).
            Both CPSD and TURN recommend that refunds and fines be funded by
            shareholders.</font></div>

            investigation was begun at the request of TURN after the CPUC's January
            13, 2005
            decision that characterized the definition of "billing error" in a revised
            Utility tariff to include delayed bills and Utility-caused estimated
            bills as
            being consistent with "existing CPUC policy, tariffs, and requirements."
            The
            Utility contends that prior to this decision, "billing error" under the
            Utility's former tariffs did not encompass delayed bills or Utility-caused
            estimated bills. The Utility&#8217;s petition asking the appellate court to review the
            CPUC's decision denying rehearing of its January 13, 2005 decision is
            still
            pending. </font></div>

            the CPUC finds that the Utility violated applicable tariffs or the CPUC's
            orders
            or rules, the CPUC may order the Utility to refund any amounts collected
            in
            violation of tariffs, plus interest, to customers who paid such amounts.
            In
            addition, if the CPUC finds that the Utility violated applicable tariffs
            or the
            CPUC's orders or rules, the CPUC may impose penalties on the Utility
            ranging
            from $500 to $20,000 for each separate violation. </font></div>

Chromium
            Litigation
As
            previously disclosed, PG&E
            Corporation and its subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility),
            have
            been engaged in discussions to resolve claims pending in the Superior
            Court for
            the County of Los Angeles (Superior Court) involving allegations that
            exposure
            to chromium at or near certain of the Utility's natural gas compressor stations
            caused personal injuries, wrongful deaths, or other injuries (the "Chromium
            Litigation"). On February 3, 2006, the Utility entered into a settlement
            agreement with attorneys for certain plaintiffs to resolve substantially
            all of
            these claims. Of the approximately 1,200 plaintiffs in the Chromium Litigation,
            the settlement agreement resolves claims brought by approximately 1,100
            plaintiffs. The Utility has agreed to pay $295 million to the settling
            plaintiffs. As previously disclosed, the Utility already has accrued
            $160
            million relating to the Chromium Litigation. PG&E Corporation's and the
            Utility's financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005, will include
            an additional accrual of approximately $155 million to reflect both the
            settlement and the remaining unresolved claims. The additional accrual
            of $155
            million will be included in PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's 2005
            financial results to be reported in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not expect that
            the outcome with respect to the remaining unresolved claims will have
            a material
            adverse affect on their financial condition or results of
            operations.
The
            Utility
            will deposit the settlement amount into escrow on April 21, 2006. The
            settling
            plaintiffs are required to execute general releases in favor of the Utility,
            PG&E Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, and other affiliates,
            as to any and all claims asserted or which could have been asserted in
            the
            Chromium Litigation. After receipt of releases from at least 90% of the
            settling
            plaintiffs, executed requests for dismissals with prejudice of the settled
            litigation, and documentation evidencing the Superior Court's approval of the
            compromises or settlements with the settling plaintiffs who are minors,
            payments
            will be released from escrow to the plaintiffs who have submitted executed
            releases. If 90% of the settling plaintiffs do not execute releases by
            September
            15, 2006, including a release signed by each of the eighteen plaintiffs
            scheduled to participate in the first trial, the Utility may, at its
            option,
            terminate the settlement agreement.
PG&E
            Corporation does not expect the settlement payment to impact its estimate
            of
            cash availability associated with its previously disclosed 2006-2010
            average
            annual growth rate target of 7.5% for earnings per share from operations.
This
            report contains forward-looking statements regarding future earnings
            growth that
            are based on various assumptions, including that substantial capital
            investments
            are made by the Utility over the 2006-2010 period. 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:
Unanticipated
                  changes in operating expenses or capital expenditures;
The
                  adequacy of natural gas supplies and the effect of increasing prices
                  for
                  natural gas on the Utility's electric generation portfolio and its natural gas
                  distribution operations, the ability of the Utility to manage and
                  respond to
                  increasing natural gas costs successfully and to timely recover
                  its natural
                  gas costs and increased electricity procurement costs;
The
                  operation of the Utility's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, and whether the
                  Utility is able to timely increase its spent nuclear fuel storage
                  capacity at
                  Diablo Canyon by 2007;
The
                  outcome of proceedings pending at the Federal Energy Regulatory
                  Commission and
                  the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), including the
                  outcome of
                  the Utility's 2007 general rate case and the CPUC's investigation into the
                  Utility's billing and collection practices;
Whether
                  the assumptions and forecasts underlying the Utility's CPUC-approved long-term
                  electricity procurement plan prove to be accurate, the terms and
                  conditions of
                  the generation or procurement commitments the Utility enters into
                  in
                  connection with its plan, the extent to which the Utility is able
                  to recover
                  the costs it incurs in connection with these commitments, and the
                  extent to
                  which a failure to perform by any of the counterparties to the
                  Utility's
                  electricity purchase contracts or the California Department of
                  Water
                  Resources' contracts allocated to the Utility's customers affects the
                  Utility's ability to meet its obligations or to recover its costs;
The
                  impact of the recently enacted Energy Policy Act of 2005 and other
                  changes in
                  legislation or regulation; and
Other
                  factors discussed in PG&E Corporation's SEC reports.
B.
Pending
            Investigation Regarding the Utility's Billing and Collection Practices
As
            previously disclosed, the California
            Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is conducting an investigation into
            the
            Utility's billing and collection practices. On February 3, 2006, the
            CPUC's
            Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD) and The Utility Reform
            Network
            (TURN) submitted their reports to the CPUC concluding that the Utility
            violated
            applicable tariffs related to delayed and estimated bills. The CPSD recommends
            that the Utility refund to customers $117 million, plus interest at the
            three-month commercial paper interest rate, that allegedly was collected
            in
            violation of the tariffs. TURN recommends that the Utility refund to
            customers
            $53 million, plus interest at the three-month commercial paper interest
            rate,
            that allegedly was collected in violation of the tariffs. The two refund
            proposals are not additive. CPSD also recommends that the Utility pay
            fines of
            $6.75 million, while TURN recommends fines in the form of a $1 million
            contribution to REACH (Relief for Energy Assistance through Community
            Help).
            Both CPSD and TURN recommend that refunds and fines be funded by
            shareholders.
The
            investigation was begun at the request of TURN after the CPUC's January
            13, 2005
            decision that characterized the definition of "billing error" in a revised
            Utility tariff to include delayed bills and Utility-caused estimated
            bills as
            being consistent with "existing CPUC policy, tariffs, and requirements."
            The
            Utility contends that prior to this decision, "billing error" under the
            Utility's former tariffs did not encompass delayed bills or Utility-caused
            estimated bills. The Utility's petition asking the appellate court to review the
            CPUC's decision denying rehearing of its January 13, 2005 decision is
            still
            pending.
If
            the CPUC finds that the Utility violated applicable tariffs or the CPUC's
            orders
            or rules, the CPUC may order the Utility to refund any amounts collected
            in
            violation of tariffs, plus interest, to customers who paid such amounts.
            In
            addition, if the CPUC finds that the Utility violated applicable tariffs
            or the
            CPUC's orders or rules, the CPUC may impose penalties on the Utility
            ranging
            from $500 to $20,000 for each separate violation.
The
            Utility's response to the reports is due on March 31, 2006, rebuttal
            testimony
            is due on May 5, 2006, and hearings are set to begin on May 22, 2006.
PG&E
            Corporation and the Utility are unable to predict the outcome of this
            matter. In
            light of this uncertainty, the outcome could have a material adverse
            effect on
            PG&E Corporation's or the Utility's financial condition or results of
            operations.
