Item 8.01 Other Events

On November 5, 2015, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“Utility”), a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, along with San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, and Southern California Gas Company (collectively, the “Joint Investor-Owned Utilities”), sent a letter to the Executive Director of the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) jointly requesting a one-year extension of the due date for the Joint Investor-Owned Utilities to file their next cost of capital applications.  Both the CPUC’s Office of Ratepayer Advocates and The Utility Reform Network support this request.  If granted, the Utility’s next cost of capital application would be due on April 20, 2017 instead of April 20, 2016.  The request leaves the current automatic adjustment mechanism in place, but the Joint Investor-Owned Utilities have agreed that there will be no changes to their respective costs of capital until the end of 2017.  For more information about the Utility’s cost of capital and the adjustment mechanism, see PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
