Item 5. Other Events
On April 15, 1999, PG&E Corporation announced that it has postponed
the release of its first quarter earnings which had been scheduled
for release on April 21, 1999, due to the delay in the issuance of a
proposed decision in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's General Rate
Case (GRC) proceeding pending before the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC). (Pacific Gas and Electric Company is the utility
subsidiary of PG&E Corporation.) Although a proposed decision in the
GRC proceeding was originally scheduled by the CPUC to be issued
earlier this year, it is currently expected that a proposed decision
will not be issued until mid to late May 1999. PG&E Corporation will
report first quarter earnings no later than May 17, 1999, the last
day PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company may timely
file their Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
