has consistently distinguished himself as an outstanding leader at PG&amp;E,&#8221;
said Peter A. Darbee, Chairman, CEO and President of PG&amp;E Corporation.
&#8220;Particularly in his role as Chief Financial Officer, Chris&#8217; contributions have
been integral to PG&amp;E&#8217;s success in achieving results on behalf of its
customers, shareholders and employees. His proven strength as a manager,
combined with his firm commitment to our company and our values, make him an
ideal candidate to lead Pacific Gas and Electric Company.&#8221;</font></div>

will continue to report directly to Darbee, who has been serving as the utility
unit&#8217;s chief executive since mid-2008 in addition to his roles at the holding
company. Johns&#8217; promotion enables Darbee to devote more of his time to strategic
issues in light of the significant evolution under way in the nation&#8217;s energy
and environmental policies, which is defining new challenges and opportunities
important to the company and its customers. Utility Chief Operating Officer Jack
Keenan will continue to manage Pacific Gas and Electric Company&#8217;s operational
activities, reporting directly to Johns.</font></div>

became Chief Financial Officer in 2005 and has helped lead the company&#8217;s
implementation of one of the utility industry&#8217;s most extensive capital
investment programs, as well as successful efforts to realize opportunities for
greater efficiencies within the company&#8217;s operations. Recently, his organization
has been highly successful in maintaining PG&amp;E&#8217;s access to the capital
markets amid the challenges of the global financial crisis.</font></div>

experience and expertise in financial management to his new role,&#8221; said Darbee.
&#8220;Most significantly, his strong track record of accomplishment includes having
