Item
        2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The
        information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished,
        not
        filed, pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
On
        August
        2, 2006, PG&E Corporation issued the press release attached hereto as
        Exhibit 99.1 announcing its financial results and the financial results of
        its
        subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility), for the quarter ended
        June 30, 2006.  Additional supplemental information relating to PG&E
        Corporation and the Utility is attached as Exhibit 99.2.  Much of this
        information is derived from PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's combined
        Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, to be
        filed
        by PG&E Corporation and the Utility with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with such Form
        10-Q.
Exhibits
        99.1 and 99.2 to this report also will be posted on the "Investors" section of
        PG&E Corporation's website at www.pgecorp.com.
PG&E
        Corporation presents results and guidance on an "earnings from operations" basis
        in order to provide investors with a measure that reflects the underlying
        financial performance of the business and offers investors a basis on which
        to
        compare performance from one period to another, exclusive of items that,
        in
        management's judgment, are not reflective of the normal course of operations.
The
        attached exhibits contain forward-looking statements regarding
management's
        guidance for PG&E Corporation's 2006 and 2007 earnings per share from
        operations,
2006 rate
        base, and 2006 earnings sensitivities.
These
        statements are based on
current
        expectations and
various
        assumptions
which
        management believes are reasonable
,
        including that t
he
        Utility earns its authorized rate of return.
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, which may
                affect
                the Utility's ability to earn its authorized rate of return;
·
How
                the Utility manages its responsibility to procure electric capacity
                and
                energy for its customers;
·
The
                adequacy and price of natural gas supplies, and the ability of the
                Utility
                to manage and respond to the volatility of the natural gas market
                for its
                customers;
·
The
                operation of the Utility's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, which could
                cause the Utility to incur potentially significant environmental
                costs and
                capital expenditures, and the extent to which the Utility is able
                to
                timely increase its spent nuclear fuel storage capacity at Diablo
                Canyon;
·
Whether
                the Utility is able to recognize the benefits expected to result
                from its
                efforts to improve customer service through implementation of specific
                initiatives to streamline business processes and deploy new technology;
·
The
                outcome of proceedings pending at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
                (FERC) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), including
                the Utility's 2007 General Rate Case and the Utility's application for
                approval of new long-term generation resource commitments;
·
How
                the CPUC administers the capital structure, stand-alone dividend,
                and
                first priority conditions of the CPUC's decisions permitting the
                establishment of holding companies for the California investor-owned
                electric utilities, and the outcome of the CPUC's new rulemaking
                proceeding concerning the relationship between the California
                investor-owned energy utilities and their holding companies and
                non-regulated affiliates;
·
The
                impact of the recently adopted Energy Policy Act of 2005 and future
                legislative or regulatory actions or policies affecting the energy
                industry;
·
Increased
                municipalization and other forms of bypass in the Utility's service
                territory; and
·
Other
                factors discussed in PG&E Corporation's SEC reports.
