<P>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities offered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:</P><DIR>

<P>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;</P>
<P>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and</P>
<P>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; </P></DIR>

<U><P>provided</U>, <U>however</U>, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of </P></DIR>

<P>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;</P>
<P>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</P></DIR>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.</P>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

<P>Re:  PG&amp;E Corporation - Registration Statement on Form S-8<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Relating to the PG&amp;E Corporation Long-Term Incentive Program</P>

<P>Ladies and Gentlemen:</P>

<P>At your request, I, Chief Counsel, Corporate for PG&amp;E Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), am rendering this opinion in connection with the proposed issuance of 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") pursuant to the PG&amp;E Corporation Long-Term Incentive Program (the "Program").</P>

<P>I, or other members of PG&amp;E Corporation's Law Department acting under my direction and under my supervision, have examined instruments, documents, and records which I deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of my opinion herein after expressed.  In such examination, I have assumed the following:  (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; and (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates I have reviewed.</P>

<P>Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the provisions of the Program, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</P>

<P>I express no opinion as to matters of law in jurisdiction other than the State of California and federal law of the United States.</P>

<P>I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as to an exhibit to this Registration Statement and to the use of my name wherever it appears in said Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, I do not consider that I am an "expert" within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion as an exhibit or otherwise.</P>

<P>Very truly yours,</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
