Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 12b-25&nbsp; in order to

subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under the
provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division.&nbsp; NEG
has filed a proposed plan of reorganization, that, if implemented,
would eliminate PG&amp;E Corporation's equity interest in
NEG.&nbsp; As a result of NEG's Chapter 11 filing and the
resignation of PG&amp;E Corporation's representatives who
previously served on the NEG Board of Directors and their
replacement with Board members who are not affiliated with PG&amp;E

influence over the ongoing operations of NEG, including the
preparation and filing of NEG's reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.&nbsp; For the quarter ended June 30, 2003,
NEG's financial results will continue to be consolidated into
PG&amp;E Corporation's results.&nbsp; Effective July 8, 2003, NEG's
financial results will no longer be consolidated with PG&amp;E
