Item
5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On July
1, 2009, the Board of Directors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility), a
subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, appointed Christopher P. Johns, who is
currently Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PG&E
Corporation and Senior Vice President, Financial Services of the Utility, as the
President of the Utility, effective August 1, 2009, reporting to Peter A.
Darbee, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President of
PG&E Corporation.  In addition to his current role at PG&E
Corporation, Mr. Darbee has been serving as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Utility since September 5, 2008, pursuant to a temporary waiver
granted by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) from rules that
prohibit certain key officers from serving in the same position at both a
utility and its holding company while the companies share legal, regulatory and
lobbying services.  The Utility will request permission from the CPUC
to withdraw its request for a permanent waiver as of August 1,
2009.  Mr. Darbee will resign from his position as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Utility on July 31, 2009.
Mr.
Johns, 48, has served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
PG&E Corporation since January 1, 2005.  From September 19, 2001
to October 3, 2005, Mr. Johns served as Senior Vice President and Controller of
PG&E Corporation.  He also held the position of Treasurer of
PG&E Corporation from October 4, 2005 to April 30, 2009.  In
addition, Mr. Johns served as Senior Vice President and Treasurer of the Utility
from October 1, 2005 to April 30, 2009, when he became Senior Vice President,
Financial Services of the Utility.  Mr. Johns also served as Chief
Financial Officer of the Utility from October 1, 2005 to May 31,
2007.
Also on
July 1, 2009, the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation appointed Kent M.
Harvey, 51, currently Senior Vice President and Chief Risk and Audit Officer of
PG&E Corporation since October 1, 2005, as Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of PG&E Corporation, effective August 1, 2009, to replace
Mr. Johns.  In addition, the Utility's Board of Directors appointed
Mr. Harvey as Senior Vice President, Financial Services of the Utility,
effective August 1, 2009, to replace Mr. Johns.  In addition to
overseeing all of PG&E Corporation's finance, accounting, and investor
relations functions, Mr. Harvey will continue to oversee PG&E Corporation's
and the Utility's risk management and audit functions.  He will
continue to report to Mr. Darbee.  Mr. Harvey previously served as
Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer of the Utility
from January 1, 2000 to September 30, 2005.
A press
release dated July 2, 2009, announcing these changes, is attached as an exhibit
to this report.
Neither
Mr. Johns nor Mr. Harvey has any relationship or related transaction with
PG&E Corporation or the Utility that would require disclosure pursuant to
Item 401(d) or Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation
S-K.
In
connection with his new position, Mr. Johns will earn an annual base salary of
$635,000.  Mr. Johns also will continue to be eligible to participate
in the PG&E Corporation Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP); his target
participation rate will be equal to 75% of his annual base salary, or
$476,250.  Also, Mr. Johns will receive an additional award under the
PG&E Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) in an annualized amount of
$500,000.  This award will consist of equal amounts of restricted
stock units and performance shares.  The award will be granted on
the third business day following the release of PG&E Corporation's financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and will be prorated based on the
period of time between the date of grant and March 1, 2010 (the first vesting
date of the 2009 LTIP awards).  As a result, on or around August 10,
2009, Mr. Johns will receive an LTIP award in an estimated amount of
$279,000.  The number of restricted stock units and performance shares
will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the award by the closing
stock price of a share of PG&E Corporation common stock as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange on the grant date.

In
connection with his new position, Mr. Harvey will earn an annual base salary of
$525,000.  Mr. Harvey also will continue to be eligible to participate
in the PG&E Corporation STIP; his target participation rate will be equal to
65% of his annual base salary, or $341,250.  Mr. Harvey also will
receive an additional award under the LTIP in an annualized amount of $250,000,
which will consist of equal amounts of restricted stock units and performance
shares.  The award will be granted on the third business day
following the release of PG&E Corporation's financial results for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, and will be prorated based on the period of time
between the date of grant and March 1, 2010 (the first vesting date of the 2009
LTIP awards).  As a result, on or around August 10, 2009, Mr. Harvey
will receive an LTIP award in an estimated amount of $140,000.  The
number of restricted stock units and performance shares will be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the award by the closing stock price of a share of
PG&E Corporation common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on
the grant date.
Mr.
Johns and Mr. Harvey also are eligible to receive the benefits available to
other officers of PG&E Corporation and the Utility, including benefits
available under the PG&E Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
(a non-tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan), the PG&E Corporation
Officer Severance Policy, and the PG&E Corporation Supplemental Retirement
Savings Plan.  These benefits, the terms of the restricted stock units
and performance shares to be awarded under the LTIP, and the provisions of the
STIP, are described in PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's most recent
joint proxy statement and in other reports previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
