PG&E CORPORATION
2005 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

        This is the controlling and definitive statement of the PG&E CORPORATION ("PG&E CORP") 2005 Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Except as provided herein, the Plan is effective as of January 1, 2005, with respect to all individuals who are Eligible Employees as of such date. The Plan continues the benefit program embodied in the PG&E Corporation Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the "Prior Plan"). Benefits accrued under the Prior Plan continue to be payable under the Prior Plan pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan.

Employer Contributions

(a)
Matching Employer Contributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Eligible Employee's Account shall be credited for each Plan Year with a Matching Employer Contribution, calculated in the manner provided in Sections 3(a) (1), (2), and (3) below:

(1)
First, an amount shall be calculated equal to the maximum matching contribution that would be made under the terms of the RSP, taking into account for such Plan Year the amount of pre-tax deferrals and after-tax contributions the Eligible Employee elected under the RSP. For purposes of this calculation, any amounts deferred under Subsection 4(a) of this Plan shall be treated as pre-tax deferrals under the RSP.

(2)
The calculation made in accordance with this Section 3(a) (1) above shall be made without regard to any limitation on such amounts under the RSP resulting from the application of any of the limitations under Code Sections 401(m), 401(a)(17), or 415.

(3)
The Employer Matching Contribution to be credited to the Account of an Eligible Employee for any Plan Year shall equal the amount calculated in accordance with Sections 3(a) (1) and (2) above, reduced by the amount of matching contribution made to such Eligible Employee's account for such Plan Year under the RSP.

(b)
Crediting of Matching Employer Contributions. Matching Employer Contributions shall be calculated and credited to the Eligible Employee's Account as of the first business day of February of the calendar year following the Plan Year and shall be credited only if the Eligible Employee is an Employee on the last day of Plan Year for which the amounts are credited. All such amounts shall be invested in the SRSP Stable Value Fund.

(c)
Basic Employer Contributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Account of each Eligible Employee shall be credited for each Plan Year with a Basic Employer Contribution, calculated in the manner provided in Sections 3(c) (1), (2), and (3) below:

(1)
First, an amount shall be calculated equal to the Basic Employer Contribution that would be made under the terms of the RSP, taking into account for such Plan Year the Eligible Employee's Covered Compensation under the RSP, before any deductions for compensation deferrals elected by such Eligible Employee under Subsection 4(a) of this Plan. For Eligible Employees as defined by Section 2(e)(1) of this Plan, compensation shall also reflect such Eligible Employee's Short-Term Incentive Plan awards.

(2)
The calculation made in accordance with this Section 3(c)(1) above shall be made without regard to any limitation on such amounts under the RSP resulting from the application of any of the limitations under Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(a)(17), or 415.

(3)
The Employer Contribution to be credited to the Account of an Eligible Employee for any Plan Year shall equal the amount calculated in accordance with Sections 3(c)(1) and (2) above, reduced by the amount of Basic Employer Contributions made to such Eligible Employee's account for such Plan Year under the RSP.

(d)
Crediting of Basic Employer Contributions. The Employer Contribution attributable to an Eligible Employee's Short Term Incentive Plan award shall be credited to an Eligible Employee's Account as of the first business day of the month following the date on which the Short-Term Incentive Plan award is paid. All other Employer Contributions made in respect of an Eligible Employee shall be credited to the Eligible Employee's Account as of the first business day of February of the calendar year following the Plan Year and shall be credited only if the Eligible Employee is an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year for which the amounts are credited. All such amounts shall be invested in the SRSP Stable Value Fund.

Eligible Employee Deferrals

(a)
Amount of Deferral. An Eligible Employee may defer (i) 5 percent to 50 percent of his or her annual salary; and (ii) all or part of his or her Short Term Incentive Plan awards, Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) awards (other than stock options), Perquisite Allowances, and any other special payments, awards, or bonuses as authorized by the Plan Administrator.

(b)
Credits to Accounts. Salary deferrals shall be credited to an Eligible Employee's Account as of each payroll period. All other deferrals attributable to allowances, awards, bonuses, and other payments shall be credited as of the date that they otherwise would have been paid.

(c)
Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee must file an election form with the Plan Administrator which indicates the percentage of salary and the amount of any awards, allowances, payments, and bonuses to be deferred under the Plan. The election shall occur according to rules established by the Plan Administrator and designed to comply with the advance election requirements under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon first becoming an Eligible Employee, an election to defer shall be effective for the month following the filing of a Deferral Election Form, provided said Form is filed within 30 days following the date when the employee first becomes an Eligible Employee.

(d)
Deferral of Special Incentive Stock Ownership Premiums. All of an Eligible Employee's Special Incentive Stock Ownership Premiums are automatically deferred to the Plan immediately upon grant and converted into units in the PG&E CORP Phantom Stock Fund. The units attributable to Special Incentive Stock Ownership Premiums and any additional units resulting from the conversion of dividend equivalents thereon remain unvested until the earlier of the third anniversary of the date on which the Special Incentive Stock Ownership Premiums are credited to an Eligible Employee's account (provided the Eligible Employee continues to be employed on such date), death, disability, or retirement of the participant, or upon a Change in Control as defined in the LTIP. (The term "disability" shall, for purposes of the Plan, have the same meaning as in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.) Unvested units attributable to Special Incentive Stock Ownership Premiums and any additional units resulting from the conversion of dividend equivalents thereon shall be forfeited upon termination of the Eligible Employee's employment unless otherwise provided in the PG&E Corporation Executive Stock Ownership Program or if an Eligible Employee's stock ownership falls below the levels set forth in the Executive Stock Ownership Program.

Investment Funds

6.
Accounting

(a)
Eligible Employees' Accounts. At the direction of the Plan Administrator, there shall be established and maintained on the books of the Employer, a separate account for each Eligible Employee in order to reflect his or her interest under the Plan.

(b)
Investment Earnings. Each Eligible Employee's Account shall initially reflect the value of his or her Account's interest in each of the Investment Funds, deemed acquired with the amounts credited thereto. Each Eligible Employee's Account shall also be credited (or debited) with the net appreciation (or depreciation), earnings and gains (or losses) with respect to the investments deemed made by his or her Account. Any such net earnings or gains deemed realized with respect to any investment of any Eligible Employee's Account shall be deemed reinvested in additional amounts of the same investment and credited to the Eligible Employee's Account.

(c)
Accounting Methods. The accounting methods or formulae to be used under the Plan for the purpose of maintaining the Eligible Employees' Accounts shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. The accounting methods or formulae selected by the Plan Administrator may be revised from time to time but shall conform to the extent practicable with the accounting methods used under the Applicable Plan.

(d)
Valuations and Reports. The fair market value of each Eligible Employee's Account shall be determined as of each Valuation Date. In making such determinations and in crediting net deemed earnings and gains (or losses) in the Investment Funds to the Eligible Employees' Accounts, the Plan Administrator (in its discretion) may employ such accounting methods as the Plan Administrator (in its discretion) may deem appropriate in order to fairly reflect the fair market values of the Investment Funds and each Eligible Employee's Account. For this purpose, the Plan Administrator may rely upon information provided by the Plan Administrator or other persons believed by the Plan Administrator to be competent.

(e)
Statements of Eligible Employee's Accounts. Each Eligible Employee shall be furnished with periodic statements of his or her interest in the Plan.

7.
Distributions

(a)
Distribution of Account Balances. Except to the extent the Eligible Employee has elected otherwise under this Section 7 at the time of a deferral election, distribution of the balance credited to an Eligible Employee's Account shall be made in a single lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable seven (7) months following Retirement or termination of service.

Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Emergency (Hardship Distribution)
9.
Domestic Relations Orders

(a)
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. The Plan Administrator shall establish written procedures for determining whether a domestic relations order purporting to dispose of any portion of an Eligible Employee's Account is a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code) (a "QDRO").

(1)
No Payment Unless a QDRO. No payment shall be made to any person designated in a domestic relations order (an "Alternate Payee") until the Plan Administrator (or a court of competent jurisdiction reversing an initial adverse determination by the Plan Administrator) determines that the order is a QDRO. Payment shall be made to each Alternate Payee as specified in the QDRO.

(2)
Time of Payment. Payment may be made to an Alternate Payee in the form of a lump sum, at the time specified in the QDRO, but no earlier than as soon as practicable following the date the QDRO determination is made.

(3)
Hold Procedures. Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, prior to the receipt of a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, place a hold upon all or a portion of an Eligible Employee's Account for a reasonable period of time (as determined by the Plan Administrator) if the Plan Administrator receives notice that

The Plan Administrator delegates to the Senior Human Resource Officer for PG&E CORP, or his or her designee, the authority to carry out all duties and responsibilities of the Plan Administrator under the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan.

(b)
Powers of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have all discretion and powers necessary to supervise the administration of the Plan and to control its operation in accordance with its terms, including, but not by way of limitation, the power to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to determine, in its sole discretion, any question arising under, or in connection with the administration or operation of, the Plan.

(c)
Decisions of Plan Administrator. All decisions of the Plan Administrator and any action taken by it in respect of the Plan and within the powers granted to it under the Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all persons and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law.

Modification or Termination of Plan

(a)
Employers' Obligations Limited. The Plan is voluntary on the part of the Employers, and the Employers do not guarantee to continue the Plan. PG&E CORP at any time may, by appropriate amendment of the Plan, suspend Matching Employer Contributions and/or Basic Employer Contributions or may discontinue Matching Employer Contributions and/or Basic Employer Contributions, with or without cause.

(b)
Right to Amend or Terminate. The Board of Directors, acting through its Nominating and Compensation Committee, reserves the right to alter, amend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, in such manner as it may determine, for any reason whatsoever.

14.
General Provisions

(a)
Inalienability. Except to the extent otherwise directed by a domestic relations order which the Plan Administrator determines is a QDRO (as defined in Section 9(a) or mandated by applicable law, in no event may either an Eligible Employee, a former Eligible Employee or his or her spouse, beneficiary or estate sell, transfer, anticipate, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any right or interest under the Plan; and such rights and interests shall not at any time be subject to the claims of creditors nor be liable to attachment, execution, or other legal process.

(b)
Rights and Duties. Neither the Employers nor the Plan Administrator shall be subject to any liability or duty under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan, or for any action taken, omitted, or suffered in good faith.

(c)
No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment or maintenance of the Plan, the making of any Matching Employer Contributions, nor any action of any Employer or Plan Administrator, shall be held or construed to confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an Employee nor, upon dismissal, any right or interest in any specific assets of the Employers other than as provided in the Plan. Each Employer expressly reserves the right to discharge any Employee at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.

(d)
Apportionment of Costs and Duties. All acts required of the Employers under the Plan may be performed by PG&E CORP for itself and its Participating Subsidiaries, and the costs of the Plan may be equitably apportioned by the Plan Administrator among PG&E CORP and the other Employers. Whenever an Employer is permitted or required under the terms of the Plan to do or perform any act, matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by any officer or employee of the Employer who is thereunto duly authorized by the board of directors of the Employer. Each Participating Subsidiary shall be responsible for making benefit payments pursuant to the Plan on behalf of its Eligible Employees or for reimbursing PG&E CORP for the cost of such payments, as determined by PG&E CORP in its sole discretion. In the event the respective Participating Subsidiary fails to make such payment or reimbursement, and PG&E CORP does not exercise its discretion to make the payment on such Participating Subsidiary's behalf, participation in the Plan by the Eligible Employees of that Participating Subsidiary shall be suspended. If at some future date, the Participating Subsidiary makes all past-due payments and reimbursements, plus interest at a rate determined by PG&E CORP in its sole discretion, the suspended participation of its Eligible Employees eligible to participate in the Plan will be recognized. In the event the respective Participating Subsidiary fails to make such payment or reimbursement, an Eligible Employee's (or other payee's) sole recourse shall be against the respective Participating Subsidiary, and not against PG&E CORP. An Eligible Employee's participation in the Plan shall constitute agreement with this provision.

(e)
Applicable Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, ERISA.

(f)
Severability. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included.

(g)
Captions. The captions contained in and the table of contents prefixed to the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge, or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor in any way shall affect the construction of any provision of the Plan.
