Forward Looking Statements

2

This slide presentation contains statements regarding management’s current expectations, objectives and assumptions for future periods, including planned grid

modernization investments, electric vehicle growth opportunities, and other clean energy goals. These statements and other statements that are not purely historical

constitute forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to:

• the impact of the Northern California wildfires, including the costs of restoration of service to customers and repairs to Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility)

facilities, and whether the Utility is able to recover such costs through its Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account (CEMA); the timing and outcome of the

wildfire investigations; whether the Utility may have liability associated with these fires; if liable for one or more fires, whether the Utility would be able to recover

all or part of such costs through insurance or through regulatory mechanisms, to the extent insurance is not available or exhausted; and potential liabilities in

connection with fines or penalties that could be imposed on the Utility if the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) or any other law enforcement agency

brought an enforcement action and determined that the Utility failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations;

• the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and the timing and outcome of the CPUC decision related to the Utility’s submissions to the CPUC in

connection with the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on the Utility’s rate cases, and its implementation plan;

• the Utility’s ability to efficiently manage capital expenditures and its operating and maintenance expenses within the authorized levels of spending and timely

recovery of its costs through rates, and the extent to which the Utility incurs unrecoverable costs that are higher than the forecasts of such costs;

• the timing and outcomes of the TO18 and TO19 rate cases and other ratemaking and regulatory proceedings;

• the timing and outcomes of the ex parte order instituting investigation (OII) and the safety culture OII;

• the timing and outcome of the Butte fire litigation; the timing and outcome of any proceeding to recover costs in excess of insurance from customers, if any; the

effect, if any, that the Safety and Enforcement Division’s (SED) of the CPUCs $8.3 million citations issued in connection with the Butte fire may have on the Butte

fire litigation; and whether additional investigations and proceedings in connection with the Butte fire will be opened and any additional fines or penalties imposed

on the Utility;

• whether the CPUC approves the Utility’s application to establish a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account (WEMA) to track wildfire expenses and to preserve

the opportunity for the Utility to request recovery of wildfire costs in excess of insurance at a future date, and the outcome of any potential request to recover such

costs;

• whether the Utility can continue to obtain insurance and whether insurance coverage is adequate for future losses or claims;

• the outcome of the probation and the monitorship, the timing and outcomes of the debarment proceeding, the SED’s unresolved enforcement matters relating to

the Utility’s compliance with natural gas-related laws and regulations, and other investigations that have been or may be commenced, and the ultimate amount of

fines, penalties, and remedial and other costs that the Utility may incur as a result;

• the ability of PG&E Corporation and the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of debt and equity financing in a timely manner on acceptable terms;

• changes in credit ratings which could, among other things, result in higher borrowing costs and fewer financing options, especially if PG&E Corporation or the

Utility were to lose their investment grade credit ratings; and

• the other factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation and the Utility’s joint annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and other reports filed

with the SEC, which are available on PG&E Corporation’s website at www.pgecorp.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at

www.sec.gov.

Forward-looking statements included herein represent management’s expectations only as of the date of this presentation, and PG&E Corporation assumes no duty

to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances.

Traditional solutions present challengesEnsuring Grid Reliability in Oakland

Fossil-fueled Power Plant

Additional transmission could be built, but would run

through the heart of downtown Oakland at great cost

Additional Transmission

New conventional generation facility would need to run

more often than the current plant and is out of step with CA

clean energy goals

Oakland Clean Energy Initiative can meet reliability needs with local clean power

PG&E’s innovative solution leverages an integrated grid platform and distributed energy resources to…

✓ Support CA clean energy goals

✓ Improve system reliability

• Oakland power plant is

approaching retirement age

• CAISO identified a long-term

local reliability concern

• Impacted area represents an economic

core of commercial and industrial

customers
