      Corporation 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006 LTIP) valued at
      $2,000,000.&#160;&#160;The award will consist of equal amounts of restricted

      number of restricted shares and performance shares will be determined by
      dividing $2,000,000 by the closing stock price of a share of PG&amp;E
      Corporation common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the
      date
      of grant. With respect to the restricted stock, the restrictions on 60% of

      will lapse on the first business day of 2011.&#160;&#160;If PG&amp;E

      day of 2013.&#160;&#160;The performance shares will vest on the first business
      day of 2011 and are settled in cash.&#160;&#160;The payment for performance
      shares will be calculated by multiplying the number of vested performance shares
      by the average closing price of PG&amp;E Corporation common stock over the last
      30 calendar days of 2010.&#160;&#160;There will be no payout for TSR performance
      below the 25th percentile of the comparator group; there will be a 25 percent
      payout if TSR is at the 25th percentile; there will be a 100 percent payout
      if
      TSR is at the 75th percentile; and there will be a 200 percent payout if
      PG&amp;E Corporation&#8217;s TSR ranks first in the comparator group.&#160;&#160;If
      PG&amp;E Corporation&#8217;s TSR is between the 25th percentile and the 75th

Item
      5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
      Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
      Officers.
On
      October 17, 2007, the
independent
      members of the
Board of Directors
      of Pacific
      Gas and Electric Company (Utility), upon recommendation by the
Nominating, Compensation, and Governance Committee of the PG&E
      Corporation Board of Directors (Committee),
approved the award
      of
      additional compensation for
William T. Morrow, President and Chief
      Executive Officer of the Utility, reflecting his increased responsibilities
      following his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Utility on July
      1,
      2007 and to help ensure that the Utility retains talented, qualified and
      experienced leaders.  Prior to July 1, 2007, Mr. Morrow served as
      President and Chief Operating Officer of the Utility.
Mr.
      Morrow's current annual base salary of $600,000 has been increased to $750,000,
      effective November 1, 2007.  Mr. Morrow's annual salary is consistent
      with compensation levels of comparable positions in the energy
      industry.  Mr. Morrow also will be eligible to participate in the
      PG&E Corporation Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) with a target
      participation rate equal to 75% of his annual base salary, increased from a
      target participation rate of 65%.  (Maximum awards under the STIP are
      equal to two times the target amount.  Actual STIP awards are
      determined by the Committee based on the extent to which certain pre-established
      performance criteria are met.)
In
      addition, on the third business day following the release of PG&E
      Corporation's financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Mr.
      Morrow will receive a grant of equity compensation under the PG&E
      Corporation 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006 LTIP) valued at
      $2,000,000.  The award will consist of equal amounts of restricted
      shares of PG&E Corporation common stock and performance shares. The total
      number of restricted shares and performance shares will be determined by
      dividing $2,000,000 by the closing stock price of a share of PG&E
      Corporation common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the
      date
      of grant. With respect to the restricted stock, the restrictions on 60% of
      the
      restricted shares will lapse automatically in equal installments on the first
      business days of 2009, 2010, and 2011 at the rate of 20% per year.  If
      PG&E Corporation's cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) is in the
      top quartile of its comparator group as measured for the three immediately
      preceding calendar years, the restrictions on the remaining 40% of the shares
      will lapse on the first business day of 2011.  If PG&E
      Corporation's TSR is not in the top quartile for such period, then the
      restrictions on the remaining 40% of the shares will lapse on the first business
      day of 2013.  The performance shares will vest on the first business
      day of 2011 and are settled in cash.  The payment for performance
      shares will be calculated by multiplying the number of vested performance shares
      by the average closing price of PG&E Corporation common stock over the last
      30 calendar days of 2010.  There will be no payout for TSR performance
      below the 25th percentile of the comparator group; there will be a 25 percent
      payout if TSR is at the 25th percentile; there will be a 100 percent payout
      if
      TSR is at the 75th percentile; and there will be a 200 percent payout if
      PG&E Corporation's TSR ranks first in the comparator group.  If
      PG&E Corporation's TSR is between the 25th percentile and the 75th
      percentile, or above the 75th percentile, award payouts will be determined
      by
      straight-line interpolation, adjusted to round numbers (i.e., the nearest
      multiple of five).
Mr.
      Morrow continues to be entitled to participate in other benefits generally
      provided to Utility employees and to the benefits available to other Utility
      executive officers, as described in PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's
      2007 joint proxy statement.
