PART I

ITEM 1. Business

General

PG&E Corporation, incorporated in California in 1995, is a holding company whose primary operating subsidiary is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a public utility operating in northern and central California. The Utility was incorporated in California in 1905. PG&E Corporation became the holding company of the Utility and its subsidiaries on January 1, 1997. The Utility’s revenues are generated mainly through the sale and delivery of electricity and natural gas to customers.

The principal executive offices of PG&E Corporation and the Utility are located at 77 Beale Street, P.O. Box 770000, San Francisco, California 94177. PG&E Corporation’s telephone number is (415) 973-1000 and the Utility’s telephone number is (415) 973-7000. PG&E Corporation and the Utility file or furnish various reports with the SEC. These reports, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, are available free of charge on both PG&E Corporation's website, www.pgecorp.com, and the Utility's website, www.pge.com, as promptly as practicable after they are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. The information contained on these websites is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this report.

This is a combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of PG&E Corporation and the Utility and includes information incorporated by reference from the joint Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 13 and the Joint Proxy Statement relating to the 2014 Annual Meetings of Shareholders. The 2013 Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of the significant risks that could affect the outcome of these forward-looking statements and PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s future financial condition and results of operations, see the information in the 2013 Annual Report under the headings “Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” which appear under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Natural Gas Operations

During 2013, the Utility continued to make significant progress on efforts to improve the safety and reliability of its natural gas operations, including performing extensive pipeline testing and monitoring, and replacing and upgrading equipment. Much of this work is part of the Utility’s PSEP, approved by the CPUC in December 2012, to modernize and upgrade its natural gas transmission system to meet new, industry-wide safety standards. In July 2013, the Utility completed its search and review of records relating to pipeline pressure validation for all approximately 6,750 miles of its natural gas transmission system. Many of these improvement efforts satisfy recommendations made to the Utility by the NTSB and the CPUC in 2010 and 2011 following their investigations into the rupture of one of the Utility’s natural gas transmission pipelines in San Bruno, California on September 9, 2010 (the “San Bruno accident”). (For more information, see “Natural Gas Utility Operations” below.)

During 2013, the Utility settled the majority of the civil lawsuits that were filed after the San Bruno accident. The CPUC investigations and the criminal investigation that were commenced after the San Bruno accident are still unresolved. The CPUC’s SED also may take enforcement action with respect to numerous reports the Utility has filed to report noncompliance with various natural gas regulations. See information under the headings within MD&A entitled “Natural Gas Matters” and Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Electricity Operations

During 2013, the Utility made significant capital investments to improve and modernize its electricity operations by repairing, replacing, or upgrading equipment to improve safety and reliability. The Utility has substantially completed the installation of advanced electric and gas meters throughout its service territory and continued taking steps to lay the foundation for the development of a “smart grid” to enable customers to have better control over their energy usage and costs, to integrate new sources of energy, and to enable the continued safe and reliable operation of the grid. In 2013, the Utility received regulatory approval to pilot and test new “smart grid” technologies that have the potential to support the provision of safe, reliable and affordable electric service. (For more information, see “Electric Utility Operations” below.)

Employees

At December 31, 2013, PG&E Corporation and its subsidiaries had 21,166 regular employees, including 21,159 regular employees of the Utility. Of the Utility’s regular employees, 13,150 are covered by collective bargaining agreements with three labor unions: the IBEW; the ESC; and the SEIU. There are two collective bargaining agreements with IBEW. Both bargaining agreements expire on December 31, 2014. The ESC collective bargaining agreement also expires on December 31, 2014. The SEIU collective bargaining agreement expires on July 31, 2015.

Regulatory Environment

The Utility's business is subject to a complex set of energy, environmental and other laws, regulations, and regulatory proceedings at the federal, state, and local levels. This section and the “Ratemaking Mechanisms” section below summarize some of the more significant laws, regulations, and regulatory proceedings affecting the Utility. For discussion of specific pending regulatory matters that are expected to affect the Utility, see the information under the headings within MD&A entitled “Regulatory Matters” and “Natural Gas Matters” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

PG&E Corporation is a “public utility holding company” as defined under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and is subject to regulatory oversight of the FERC. PG&E Corporation and its subsidiaries are exempt from all requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 other than the obligation to provide access to their books and records to the FERC and the CPUC for ratemaking purposes.

Federal Regulation

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The FERC regulates the transmission of electricity and wholesale sales of electricity in interstate commerce and the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce. The FERC also regulates interconnections of transmission systems with other electric systems and generation facilities, tariffs and conditions of service of regional transmission organizations, including the CAISO, and the terms and rates of wholesale electricity sales. The FERC has authority to impose fines of up to $1 million per day for violation of certain federal statutes and regulations. The FERC has jurisdiction over the Utility's electricity transmission revenue requirements and rates, the licensing of substantially all of the Utility's hydroelectric generation facilities, and the interstate sale and transportation of natural gas.

The FERC has the responsibility to approve and enforce mandatory standards governing the reliability of the nation’s electricity transmission grid, including standards to protect the nation’s bulk power system against potential disruptions from cyber and physical security breaches, to prevent market manipulation, and to supplement state transmission siting efforts in certain electric transmission corridors that are determined to be of national interest. The FERC certified the NERC as the nation’s Electric Reliability Organization. The NERC is responsible for developing and enforcing electric reliability standards, subject to FERC approval. The FERC also has approved a delegation agreement under which the NERC has delegated enforcement authority for the geographic area known as the Western Interconnection to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. The Utility must self-certify compliance to the WECC on an annual basis and the compliance program encourages self-reporting of violations. WECC staff, with participation by the NERC and the FERC, also performs a compliance audit of the Utility every three years. The FERC also has authorized the WECC and the NERC to impose fines up to $1 million per day, per violation.

The FERC also has adopted policies and rules to promote investment in energy infrastructure and lower costs for consumers through incentive ratemaking for transmission projects. In addition, the FERC’s Order No. 1000 establishes electric transmission planning and cost allocation requirements for public utility transmission providers. Order No. 1000 requires public utility transmission providers to improve transmission planning processes and allocate costs for new transmission facilities to the beneficiaries of those facilities.

The CAISO is responsible for providing open access electricity transmission service on a non-discriminatory basis, planning transmission system additions, and ensuring the maintenance of adequate reserves of generation capacity.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The NRC oversees the licensing, construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, including the Utility’s two nuclear generating units at Diablo Canyon and the Utility’s retired nuclear generating unit at Humboldt Bay. NRC regulations require extensive monitoring and review of the safety, radiological, seismic, environmental, and security aspects of these facilities. In the event of non-compliance, the NRC has the authority to impose fines or to force a shutdown of a nuclear plant, or both. NRC safety and security requirements have, in the past, necessitated substantial capital expenditures at Diablo Canyon, and additional significant capital expenditures could be required in the future. For information about NRC matters affecting Diablo Canyon, including the status of the Utility’s relicensing application see the information under the heading within MD&A entitled “Regulatory Matters−Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

The Utility also is subject to regulations adopted by the federal PHMSA that is within the United States Department of Transportation. The PHMSA develops and enforces regulations for the safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the nation's pipeline transportation system and the shipment of hazardous materials. The PHMSA also has authorized the CPUC to enforce the federal pipeline safety standards over intrastate natural gas pipelines, as well as any state pipeline safety requirements that do not conflict with the federal requirements, through fines and/or injunctive relief.

The National Transportation Safety Board

The NTSB is an independent federal agency that is authorized to investigate pipeline accidents and certain transportation accidents that involve fatalities, substantial property damage, or significant environmental damage. The NTSB investigated the San Bruno accident and in August 2011 announced that it had determined the probable cause of the San Bruno accident placing the blame primarily on the Utility. The NTSB report recommended that the Utility take certain actions to improve the safety of its gas transmission system. The status of the Utility’s implementation of the NTSB’s recommendations is discussed under “Natural Gas Utility Operations” below.

State Regulation

The California Public Utilities Commission

The CPUC consists of five members appointed by the Governor of California and confirmed by the California State Senate for staggered six-year terms. The CPUC has jurisdiction over the rates and terms and conditions of service for the Utility's electricity and natural gas distribution operations, electricity generation, and natural gas transportation and storage services. The CPUC also has jurisdiction over the Utility's issuances of securities, dispositions of utility assets and facilities, energy purchases on behalf of the Utility's electricity and natural gas retail customers, rates of return, rates of depreciation, oversight of nuclear decommissioning, and aspects of the siting of facilities used in providing electric and natural gas utility service.

The CPUC enforces state laws that set forth safety requirements pertaining to the design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of utility gas gathering, transmission, and distribution pipeline systems, and for the safe operation of such pipelines and equipment. The CPUC has adopted many rules and regulations to implement state laws and policies, such as the laws relating to the development of renewable energy resources, demand response and public purpose programs, reduction of GHG emissions, and development of energy storage capacity. As discussed above, the CPUC also has been delegated authority to enforce compliance with certain federal regulations related to the safety of natural gas facilities. The CPUC has authority to impose fines for violating these state and federal laws, orders, or regulations of up to $50,000 per violation, per day. (See the discussion under the heading within MD&A entitled “Natural Gas Matters” in the 2013 Annual Report for information about the CPUC’s pending enforcement proceedings against the Utility relating to the Utility’s gas operations, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.)

In addition, California law enacted in 2013 requires the CPUC to develop a safety enforcement program that authorizes CPUC staff to issue citations for safety violations and assess fines subject to a CPUC-approved limit. The CPUC is required to implement the safety enforcement program for gas corporations by July 1, 2014 and for electric corporations by January 1, 2015. (See the discussion under the heading within MD&A entitled “Natural Gas Matters” in the 2013 Annual Report for information about the reports the Utility has filed to notify the CPUC staff of noncompliance with certain gas safety regulations.)

Ratemaking for retail sales from the Utility's generation facilities is under the jurisdiction of the CPUC. To the extent that this electricity is sold for resale into wholesale markets, however, it is under the ratemaking jurisdiction of the FERC. In addition, the CPUC has general jurisdiction over most of the Utility’s operations, and regularly reviews the Utility’s performance, using measures such as the frequency and duration of outages. The CPUC also conducts investigations into various matters, such as deregulation, competition, and the environment, in order to determine its future policies.

The CPUC has imposed conditions that govern the relationship between the Utility and PG&E Corporation and other affiliates. These conditions relate to finance, human resources, records and bookkeeping, and the transfer of customer information. Among other conditions, the financial conditions provide that the capital requirements of the Utility, as determined to be necessary and prudent to meet the Utility's obligation to serve or to operate the Utility in a prudent and efficient manner, must be given first priority by PG&E Corporation’s Board of Directors (known as the “first priority” condition). In addition, the Utility must maintain on average its CPUC-authorized utility capital structure, although it can request a waiver of this condition if an adverse financial event reduces the Utility’s common equity component by 1% or more. The CPUC also has adopted rules governing transactions between California's CPUC-regulated electricity and gas utilities and certain of their affiliates that are not regulated by the CPUC primarily to prevent these affiliates from gaining an unfair advantage over their unaffiliated competitors.

The California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission

The California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, commonly called the CEC, is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The CEC is responsible for licensing all thermal power plants over 50 MW, overseeing funding programs that support public interest energy research, advancing energy science and technology through research, development and demonstration, and providing market support to existing, new, and emerging renewable technologies. The CEC also is responsible for forecasts of future energy needs used by the CPUC in determining the adequacy of the utilities' electricity procurement plans.

The California Air Resources Board

The CARB is the state agency charged with setting and monitoring GHG and other emission limits. The CARB also is responsible for adopting and enforcing regulations to meet the AB 32, which requires the gradual reduction of GHG emissions in California to 1990 levels by 2020 on a schedule beginning in 2013. (For more information, see “Environmental Matters — Air Quality and Climate Change” below.)

Other Regulation

The Utility obtains permits, authorizations, and licenses in connection with the construction and operation of the Utility's generation facilities, electricity transmission lines, natural gas transportation pipelines, and gas compressor station facilities. These permits include discharge permits, various Air Pollution Control District permits, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Forest Service permits, FERC hydroelectric generation facility and transmission line licenses, and NRC licenses. (For more information, see “Environmental Matters — Water Quality” below.)

The Utility has franchise agreements with approximately 300 cities and counties that permit the Utility to install, operate, and maintain the Utility's electric and natural gas facilities in the public streets and roads. In exchange for the right to use public streets and roads, the Utility pays annual fees to the cities and counties. In most cases, the Utility’s franchise agreements are for an indeterminate term, with no expiration date. The Utility has several franchise agreements that have a specified term of years, including an agreement with a large charter city.

The Utility also periodically obtains permits, authorizations, and licenses in connection with distribution of electricity and natural gas that grant the Utility rights to occupy and/or use public property for the operation of the Utility's business and to conduct certain related operations.

Competition in the Electricity Industry

At the federal level, the FERC is charged with developing rules to encourage fair and efficient competitive wholesale electric markets by employing best practices in market rules and reducing barriers to trade between markets and among regions. (See “Regulatory Environment−Federal Regulation” above for a description of some of these rules.) The FERC also has authority to prevent accumulation and exercise of market power by assuring that proposed mergers and acquisitions of public utility companies and their holding companies are in the public interest and by addressing market power in jurisdictional wholesale markets through its new powers to establish and enforce rules prohibiting market manipulation. The FERC also has issued rules on the interconnection of generators to require regulated transmission providers, such as the Utility or the CAISO, to use standard interconnection procedures and a standard agreement for generator interconnections. These rules are intended to limit opportunities for electric transmission providers to favor their own generation, facilitate market entry for generation competitors by streamlining and standardizing interconnection procedures, and encourage investment in generation and transmission.

In 1998, California became one of the first states to (1) allow customers of the California investor-owned electric utilities to purchase electricity from energy service providers other than the regulated utilities (referred to as “direct access”) and (2) establish a competitive market for electricity generation in which generators and other electricity providers were permitted to charge market-based prices for wholesale electricity. The wholesale electricity market failed to function as anticipated leading to the 2000-2001 California energy crisis, the suspension of direct access, and the Utility’s reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. (For information about the unresolved disputed claims made by power suppliers in the Utility’s Chapter 11 proceeding, see Note 12: Resolution of Remaining Chapter 11 Disputed Claims, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.)

Current California law allows for the gradual phase-in of direct access subject to annual and overall limits (measured in GWh) that have been specified for each utility based roughly on each utility’s highest level of direct access before the CPUC suspended direct access. A four-year phase-in period began in April 2010 to allow qualifying non-residential customers of the three California investor-owned electric utilities to purchase electricity from alternate service providers, subject to the limits. The Utility’s maximum, 9,520 GWh, was reached in November 2013. Although the Utility’s total amount of direct access load may increase due to natural load growth for existing direct access customers, further legislative action is required before new customers can be enrolled in excess of these limits.

In addition, the Utility’s customers may, under certain circumstances, obtain power from a CCA instead of from the Utility. California law permits cities and counties and certain other public agencies to purchase and sell electricity for their local residents and businesses after they have registered as CCAs. Under these arrangements, the Utility continues to provide distribution, metering, and billing services to the customers of the CCAs and remains the electricity provider of last resort for those customers. The law provides that a CCA can procure electricity for all of its residents who do not affirmatively elect to continue to receive electricity from the Utility. Under the CPUC’s rules, a surcharge is imposed on retail end-users of the CCA to prevent a shifting of costs to customers who continue to receive electricity from a utility. The law also authorizes the Utility to recover from each CCA any costs of implementing the program that are reasonably attributable to the CCA, and to recover from all customers any costs of implementing the program not reasonably attributable to a CCA. Approximately 125,000 customers are now receiving commodity service from the Marin Energy Authority, a CCA. Sonoma Clean Power, another CCA, is expected to begin service to a subset of customers in Sonoma County in May 2014.

In some circumstances, governmental entities such as cities and irrigation districts, which have authority under the state constitution or state statute to provide retail electric service, seek to acquire the Utility’s distribution facilities. For example, South San Joaquin Irrigation District has indicated that, if it receives the requested authority to provide electric distribution service in and around certain cities (Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon), it will seek to acquire the Utility’s distribution facilities, either under a consensual transaction, or via eminent domain.

It is also possible that technological developments could pose challenges for traditional utilities. In particular, technology-related cost declines and sustained federal or state subsidies could make the combination of “distributed generation” and storage a viable, cost-effective alternative to the Utility’s bundled electric service. In addition, the levels of self-generation of electricity by customers (primarily solar installations) and the use of customer net energy metering, which allows self-generating customers to receive bill credits at the full retail rate, are increasing.

Although the CPUC has established ratemaking mechanisms that allow the Utility to collect some non-bypassable or fixed charges from those who procure electricity from alternate sources, rates for the Utility’s remaining customers could increase as alternative energy providers (CCAs or local government agencies) and alternative energy sources (self-generation and storage, distributed generation, electric vehicles) become more prevalent. Increasing rate pressure on remaining customers could, in turn, cause more customers to seek alternative energy providers or sources, further exacerbating the Utility’s rate challenges. New state legislation that became effective on January 1, 2014 (Assembly Bill 327) gave the CPUC new authority to reduce the cost shift associated with customers installing renewable distributed generation under the net energy metering rules.

In addition, the Utility competes with third parties to make various capital investments such as new utility-owned generation facilities, electric transmission projects, SmartGrid electric reliability projects, and distributed generation technologies. The Utility generally participates through a competitive requests-for-offers process that is subject to the oversight of the CPUC or the FERC. If the Utility is selected as the winning bidder, the Utility submits the executed contract for regulatory approval and cost recovery authorization.

Competition in the Natural Gas Industry

Under the FERC’s rules, interstate natural gas pipeline companies are required to divide their services into separate gas commodity sales, transportation, and storage services and must provide transportation service whether or not the customer (often a local gas distribution company) buys the natural gas from these companies. The Utility’s natural gas pipelines are located within the State of California and are exempt from most of the FERC’s rules and regulations applicable to interstate pipelines; the Utility’s pipeline operations are instead subject to the jurisdiction of the CPUC.

The Utility’s gas transmission and storage system has operated under the CPUC-approved “Gas Accord” market structure since 1998 which largely mimics the regulatory framework required by the FERC for interstate gas pipelines. (See “Ratemaking Mechanisms” below.) The CPUC divides the Utility's natural gas customers into two categories: “core” customers, who are primarily small commercial and residential customers, and “non-core” customers, who are primarily industrial, large commercial, and electric generation customers. Although most of the Utility’s core customers purchase natural gas directly from the Utility (along with transportation and distribution services as bundled services), core customers have the option to purchase natural gas from independent, unregulated natural gas marketers. Most of the Utility’s noncore customers make natural gas supply arrangements directly with producers or purchase natural gas from marketers.

Non-core customers have access to capacity rights for firm service on the Utility’s natural gas pipeline, as well as interruptible (or “as-available”) services. All services are offered on a nondiscriminatory basis to any creditworthy customer. This market structure has resulted in a robust wholesale gas commodity market at the Utility’s “Citygate,” which refers to the non-physical interconnection between the big “backbone” gas transmission system and the smaller downstream local transmission systems.

The Utility competes with other natural gas pipeline companies for customers transporting natural gas into the southern California market on the basis of transportation rates, access to competitively priced supplies of natural gas, and the quality and reliability of transportation services. The most important competitive factor affecting the Utility's market share for transportation of natural gas to the southern California market is the total delivered cost of western Canadian and U.S. Rocky Mountains natural gas delivered to northern California, relative to the total delivered cost of natural gas from the southwestern United States. In general, when the total cost of western Canadian and U.S. Rocky Mountains natural gas delivered to northern California increases relative to other competing natural gas sources, the Utility's market share of transportation services into southern California decreases. The Utility also competes for storage services with other third-party storage providers, primarily in northern California.

In addition, the Utility competes with third parties to make various capital investments such as new natural gas storage facilities. The Utility generally participates through a competitive requests-for-offers process that is subject to the oversight of the CPUC or the FERC. If the Utility is selected as the winning bidder, the Utility submits the executed contract for regulatory approval and cost recovery authorization.

Ratemaking Mechanisms

The Utility’s rates for electricity and natural gas utility services are based on its costs of providing service (“cost-of-service ratemaking”). Before setting rates, the CPUC and the FERC conduct proceedings to determine the annual amount of revenue (“revenue requirements”) that the Utility is authorized to collect from its customers to recover its reasonable operating and capital costs (depreciation, tax, and financing expenses) of providing utility services. The Utility’s revenue requirements are set based on forecasted costs. Differences in the amount or timing between forecast costs and actual costs could negatively affect the Utility’s ability to earn its authorized return.

To develop retail rates, the revenue requirements are allocated among customer classes which are mainly residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural. Rate changes become effective prospectively on or after the date of CPUC or FERC decisions. Most rate changes approved by the CPUC throughout the year are consolidated to take effect on the first day of the following year.

California Assembly Bill 327, effective on January 1, 2014, repealed prior law that restricted the CPUC’s ability to change residential electric rates and to reduce the level of rate assistance for certain low-income customers. AB 327 also authorized the CPUC to approve fixed charges to be collected from residential customers. The CPUC has ordered the California investor-owned utilities, including the Utility, to file proposals for changing residential rates that are consistent with the new law. The current procedural schedule calls for a final decision in the first half of 2014 to approve changes to the Utility’s residential electric rates for summer 2014, and a final decision by year-end 2014 to approve broader changes in residential electric rates.

While the CPUC generally uses cost-of-service ratemaking to develop revenue requirements and rates, it selectively uses incentive ratemaking, which bases rates on the extent to which the utilities meet objective or fixed standards or goals, such as energy efficiency goals, instead of on the cost of providing service. See “Public Purpose and Customer Programs” below.

Electricity and Natural Gas Distribution and Electricity Generation Operations

General Rate Cases

The GRC is the primary proceeding in which the CPUC determines the amount of revenue requirements that the Utility is authorized to collect from customers to recover the Utility’s anticipated costs related to its electricity and natural gas distribution and electricity generation operations and to provide the Utility an opportunity to earn its authorized rate of return. The CPUC generally conducts a GRC every three years. The CPUC approves the annual revenue requirements for the first year (or “test year”) of the GRC period and typically authorizes the Utility to receive annual increases (known as “attrition adjustments”) in revenue requirements for the subsequent years of the GRC period. Attrition rate adjustments are provided to avoid a reduction in earnings due to, among other things, inflation and increases in invested capital. Intervenors in the Utility's GRC include the CPUC’s ORA and TURN, who generally represent the overall interests of customers, as well as a myriad of other intervenors who represent more limited interests.

In November 2012, the Utility filed its 2014 GRC application with the CPUC for rates effective from 2014 through 2016. The CPUC has concluded evidentiary hearings and briefing in the 2014 GRC and the Utility is now waiting for the CPUC to issue a proposed decision. For more information see the heading within MD&A entitled “Regulatory Matters – 2014 General Rate Case” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

In November 2013, the CPUC opened a proceeding to consider modifications to the processing and content of GRCs (and for the Utility’s GT&S rate cases) to better integrate and prioritize safety, reliability, and security issues by developing a risk-based decision-making framework for the CPUC to use in evaluating the utilities’ requested revenue requirements. The CPUC also will consider whether to change the current three-year rate case cycle and whether to retain the requirement that the ORA review a draft of the utilities’ GRC applications prior to filing. A decision is expected to be issued in late 2014.

Cost of Capital Proceedings

The CPUC authorizes the Utility's capital structure (i.e., the relative weightings of common equity, preferred equity, and debt) and the authorized rates of return on each component that the Utility may earn on its electric generation, electric and natural gas distribution, and natural gas transmission and storage rate base. The CPUC has authorized the Utility’s capital structure through 2015, consisting of 52% common equity, 47% long-term debt, and 1% preferred stock. The CPUC also authorized the Utility to earn a ROE of 10.40% effective January 1, 2013, compared to the 11.35% previously authorized. The Utility’s ROE can be automatically adjusted if the 12-month October-through-September average of the Moody's Investors Service long-term Baa utility bond index increases or decreases by more than 1.00% as compared to the applicable benchmark. If the adjustment mechanism is triggered, the Utility’s authorized ROE, beginning January 1 of the following year, would be adjusted by one-half of the difference between the index and the benchmark. Additionally, the Utility’s authorized costs of long-term debt and preferred stock would be updated to reflect actual August month-end embedded costs and forecasted interest rates for variable long-term debt, as well as new long-term debt and preferred stock scheduled to be issued. In any year where the 12-month average yield triggers an automatic ROE adjustment, that average would become the new benchmark.

The Utility will file its next full cost of capital application in April 2015 for the 2016 test year.

Rate Recovery of Costs of Electricity Generation Resources

California investor-owned electric utilities are required to use the principles of “least-cost dispatch” in managing electric generation resources to meet customer demand for electricity. The utilities are also responsible for procuring electricity required to meet customer demand, plus applicable reserve margins, that are not satisfied from their own generation facilities and existing electricity contracts. To accomplish this, each utility must submit a ten-year procurement plan to the CPUC for approval. Each procurement plan must be designed to use the State of California’s preferred loading order to meet the forecasted demand (i.e., increases in future demand will be offset through energy efficiency programs, demand response programs, renewable generation resources, distributed generation resources, and new conventional generation). The CPUC approved the Utility’s electricity procurement plan in January 2012 covering 2011 through 2020 and approved the Utility’s GHG compliance instrument procurement plan in April 2012.

California law allows electric utilities to recover the costs incurred in compliance with their CPUC-approved electricity procurement plans without further after-the-fact reasonableness review. To the extent the Utility’s electricity purchases are not in compliance with the CPUC-approved plan, costs associated with those purchases may be disallowed. The Utility recovers its electricity procurement costs through the ERRA, a balancing account authorized by the CPUC, that tracks the difference between (1) billed and unbilled ERRA revenues and (2) electric procurement costs incurred under the Utility's authorized procurement plans. Each year, to determine the rates used to collect ERRA revenues, the CPUC reviews the Utility’s forecasted procurement costs related to power purchase agreements, hedging, and generation fuel expense and approves a forecasted revenue requirement.

On December 19, 2013, the CPUC approved the Utility’s forecast of 2014 procurement costs and associated revenue requirement. Changes in rates to reflect the approved revenue requirement became effective on January 1, 2014. (The CPUC may adjust a utility’s retail electricity rates at any time when the forecasted aggregate over-collections or under-collections in the ERRA exceed five percent of its prior year electricity procurement revenues.) The CPUC also performs an annual compliance review to ensure that (1) the Utility prudently administered the contracts that were entered into in accordance with its CPUC-approved procurement plans, (2) utilized the principles of least-cost dispatch in managing its electric generation resources, and (3) prudently operated its own generation facilities.

Costs Incurred Under New Power Purchase Agreements

The CPUC has approved various power purchase agreements that the Utility has entered into with third parties in accordance with the Utility’s CPUC-approved procurement plan, the renewable energy mandate, and resource adequacy requirements and has authorized the Utility to recover costs associated with these contracts through the ERRA.

For new non-renewable generation purchased from third parties under power purchase agreements, the Utility may also recover any above-market costs through either (1) a non-bypassable customer charge or (2) the allocation of the “net capacity costs” (i.e., contract price less energy revenues) to all “benefiting customers” in the Utility’s service territory, including direct access customers and CCA customers under certain circumstances. The non-bypassable charge can be imposed from the date of signing a power purchase agreement and can last for ten years from the date the new generation unit comes on line or for the term of the contract, whichever is less. Utilities are allowed to justify a cost recovery period longer than ten years on a case-by-case basis. If a utility uses the net capacity cost allocation method, the net capacity costs are allocated for the term of the contract. To use the net capacity allocation method, the CPUC must determine that a resource was needed to meet system or local area reliability needs for the benefit of all distribution customers. The CPUC can decide whether to require an energy auction for resources subject to the net capacity cost allocation.

For renewable generation purchased from third parties under power purchase agreements, the Utility may also recover any above-market costs through the imposition of a non-bypassable charge on customers.

Costs of Utility-Owned Generation Resource Projects

The Utility’s recovery of its capital costs and non-fuel operating and maintenance costs for Utility-owned generation facilities is addressed in the Utility’s GRC. From time to time, the Utility may also request the CPUC to authorize additional revenue requirements to recover capital investments and operating costs associated with new Utility-owned generation facilities in a separate ratemaking proceeding. The Utility may recover any above-market costs associated with new utility-owned generation resources in a manner similar to the recovery of above-market costs for non-renewable generation purchases described above. The recovery of above-market costs is typically addressed in the CPUC order approving a specific utility-owned generation project.

Electricity Transmission

The Utility's electricity transmission revenue requirements and its wholesale and retail transmission rates are subject to authorization by the FERC. The Utility has two main sources of transmission revenues: (1) charges under the Utility’s TO tariff and (2) charges under specific contracts with wholesale transmission customers that the Utility entered into before the CAISO began its operations in 1998. These wholesale customers are referred to as existing transmission contract customers and are charged individualized rates based on the terms of their contracts. Other customers pay transmission rates that are established by the FERC in the Utility's TO tariff rate cases. These FERC-approved rates are included by the CPUC in the Utility's retail electric rates and are collected from retail electric customers receiving bundled service.

TO Rate Cases

The primary FERC ratemaking proceeding to determine the amount of revenue requirements that the Utility is authorized to recover for its electric transmission costs and to earn its return on equity is the TO rate case. The Utility generally files a TO rate case every year. The Utility is typically able to charge new rates, subject to refund, before the outcome of the FERC ratemaking review process. See the information within MD&A entitled “Electric Transmission Owner Rate Cases” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

The Utility's TO tariff includes several rate components. The primary component consists of base transmission rates intended to recover the Utility's operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense, tax expense, and return on equity. The Utility derives the majority of the Utility's transmission revenue from base transmission rates. Another component consists of rates that reflect credits and charges from the CAISO for transmission revenues received by the CAISO for providing wholesale wheeling service (i.e., the transfer of electricity that is being sold in the wholesale market) to third parties using the Utility’s transmission facilities and charges related to the cost of providing service to existing transmission contract customers under specific contracts. The CAISO also imposes a transmission access charge on the Utility for use of the CAISO-controlled electric transmission grid in serving its customers, which are recovered from the Utility’s retail customers as part of transmission rates.

Natural Gas Transmission

Costs Incurred Under the Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan

Following the San Bruno accident, the CPUC began a rulemaking proceeding in 2011 to adopt new safety and reliability regulations for natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines in California and the related ratemaking mechanisms. As part of this proceeding, the CPUC ordered the California natural gas utilities to submit proposed plans to modernize and upgrade their natural gas transmission systems, including cost forecasts and ratemaking proposals. In December 2012, the CPUC approved most of the projects proposed in the Utility’s PSEP but disallowed the Utility’s request for rate recovery of a significant portion of PSEP-related costs that the Utility forecasted it would incur through 2014. The CPUC authorized the Utility to recover costs, subject to the adopted capital and expense amounts, for activities including pipeline strength testing, pipeline replacement, in-line inspection, and the installation of automated valves. The CPUC prohibited the Utility from recovering the costs of pressure testing pipeline placed into service after January 1, 1956 for which the Utility is unable to produce pressure test records. The CPUC ordered the Utility to file an update PSEP application after the Utility completes its search and review of records relating to pipeline pressure validation for all 6,750 miles of the Utility’s natural gas transmission pipelines. On October 29, 2013, the Utility submitted its update application to present the results of its completed records search and review and to request approval of adjusted revenue requirements for 2014. Based on the information obtained through the records search and review, the Utility has proposed to change the scope and prioritization of PSEP work, including deferring some projects to after 2014 and accelerating other projects. See the information under the headings within MD&A entitled “Natural Gas Matters” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Natural Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Cases

The CPUC determines the Utility’s authorized revenue requirements and rates for its natural gas transmission and storage services in a separate rate case called the GT&S rate case. The CPUC’s decision in the most recent GT&S rate case approved a settlement agreement, known as the Gas Accord V, which set the Utility’s rates and associated revenue requirements for natural gas transmission and storage services from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2014. In December 2013, the Utility filed its 2015 GT&S rate case application with the CPUC covering 2015 through 2017. The Utility’s forecasts for the 2015 GT&S rate case period are consistent with state law, which requires gas corporations to develop a plan to identify and minimize hazards and systemic risk for public and employee safety. The forecasts include the continuation of work begun in the Utility’s PSEP, such as testing pipelines to verify safe operating pressures, replacing older pipelines, installing more valves, and inspecting the interior of more pipelines. The Utility forecasts that it will incur certain costs that it will not seek to recover from customers. See the information under the heading within MD&A entitled “2015 Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the current ratemaking mechanisms (which have been in existence since 1998 when the first Gas Accord settlement agreement became effective), the Utility’s ability to recover a portion of its revenue requirements depends on throughput volumes, gas prices, and the extent to which large industrial customers, large commercial customers, and other shippers contract for firm transmission services. In its 2015 GT&S rate case application, the Utility has proposed eliminating these current mechanisms and that the CPUC establish new two-way balancing accounts to allow the Utility to record differences between actual customer billings and the Utility’s authorized revenue requirements for natural gas transmission and storage revenues. Any over-collections would be returned to customers and any under-collections would be paid by customers.

Under the current ratemaking mechanisms, revenue requirements allocated to core customers are decoupled and recovered through balancing accounts that ensure the Utility recovers only its adopted amounts, no more or less. Revenue requirements allocated to non-core customers are subject to a sharing mechanism. Annually, differences between the authorized revenue requirements and actual customer billings are shared between customers and the Utility’s shareholders to varying degrees, depending on the type of service. The Utility is currently at risk for approximately 25% of its total authorized GT&S revenue requirements. In its 2015 GT&S rate case application, the Utility has proposed to discontinue the sharing mechanism and to, instead, recover its non-core revenue requirements in the same decoupled manner as its core revenue requirements though existing balancing accounts. Non-core customers are typically large commercial, industrial, electric generation or wholesale customers who meet required usage requirements. These customers must obtain their own gas procurement and are subject to curtailment.

Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding

Certain of the Utility’s natural gas distribution costs and balancing account balances are allocated to customers in the CPUC’s Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. This proceeding normally occurs every two years and is updated in the interim year for purposes of adjusting natural gas rates to recover from customers any under-collection, or refund to customers any over-collection, in the balancing accounts. Balancing accounts for gas distribution and other authorized expenses accumulate differences between authorized amounts and actual revenues.

Natural Gas Procurement

The Utility recovers the cost of gas purchased on behalf of core customers, as well as some core hedging costs, through its retail gas rates subject to a limited incentive mechanism based on a market-priced benchmark. The Utility recovers the cost of gas used in generation facilities as a cost of electricity that is recovered through retail electricity rates. (For more information, see Note 9: Derivatives, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference).

Interstate and Canadian Natural Gas Transportation

The Utility has a number of agreements with interstate and Canadian third-party transportation service providers to transport natural gas from the points at which the Utility takes delivery of natural gas (typically in Canada, the U.S. Rocky Mountains, and the southwestern United States) to the points at which the Utility's natural gas transportation system begins. These are governed by tariffs that detail rates, rules, and terms of service for the provision of natural gas transportation services to the Utility on interstate and Canadian pipelines. United States tariffs are approved for each pipeline for service to all of its shippers, including the Utility, by the FERC in a FERC ratemaking review process, and the applicable Canadian tariffs are approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission and the National Energy Board. The transportation costs the Utility incurs under these agreements are recovered through CPUC-approved rates as core natural gas procurement costs or as electricity procurement costs. For more information, see the discussion below under “Natural Gas Utility Operations — Interstate and Canadian Natural Gas Transportation Services Agreements” below.

Electric Utility Operations

During 2013, the Utility made significant capital investments to modernize and upgrade its electric transmission and distribution infrastructure to extend the life of or replace existing infrastructure; to maintain and improve system reliability, safety, and customer service; to integrate more renewable energy resources; to increase capacity; and add new infrastructure to meet customer demand growth. The Utility improved the reliability of its system by adding emergency capacity at substations, increasing distribution system automation, upgrading poor performing circuits, performing targeted asset replacement, and improving service outage restoration processes. The Utility also has been working to accelerate pole replacement and maintenance of its overhead and underground electric facilities and to increase the use of wireless devices that allow the Utility to monitor the performance of the electric system and respond more quickly to power disruptions.

The Utility’s advanced metering infrastructure supports the development of a “smart grid” in California, part of a nationwide effort to improve and modernize the nation’s electric system by combining advanced communications and controls to create a responsive and resilient energy delivery network. The Utility has substantially completed the installation of an advanced metering infrastructure throughout its service territory in 2012. (As permitted by CPUC rules, customers may choose not to have an advanced meter installed.) The new infrastructure uses SmartMeterTM technology that can measure energy use in hourly or quarter-hourly increments, allow customers to track energy usage throughout the billing month and thus enable greater customer control over electricity costs. Usage data is collected through a wireless communications network and transmitted to the Utility’s information system where the data is stored and used for billing and other Utility business purposes.

The Utility is also incorporating the latest “smart grid” technology in parts of its service territory by installing automated switches that reduce outage duration and the number of customers affected by outages. The Utility also received regulatory approval to pilot and test new “smart grid” technologies that have the potential to support the provision of safe, reliable and affordable electric service. Over the next several years, the Utility plans to undertake various “smart grid” projects and invest in “smart grid” technologies.

Electricity Resources

The Utility is required to maintain physical generating capacity adequate to meet its customers’ load, including peak demand and planning and operating reserves, deliverable to the locations and at times as may be necessary to provide reliable electric service. The Utility is required to dispatch, or schedule, all of the electricity resources within its portfolio in the most cost-effective way. The following table shows the percentage of the Utility’s total actual deliveries of electricity to customers in 2013 represented by each major electricity resource, and further discussed below.

Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The Utility's Diablo Canyon power plant consists of two nuclear power reactor units, Units 1 and 2. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Utility’s Diablo Canyon power plant achieved an average overall capacity factor of approximately 92%. The NRC operating license for Unit 1 expires in November 2024, and the NRC operating license for Unit 2 expires in August 2025. For more information on matters affecting Diablo Canyon, see the section of MD&A entitled “Regulatory Matters−Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. The ability of the Utility to produce nuclear generation depends on the availability of nuclear fuel. The Utility has entered into various purchase agreements for nuclear fuel that are intended to ensure long-term fuel supply. For more information about these agreements, see Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies — Nuclear Fuel Agreements, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

The following table outlines the Diablo Canyon power plant’s refueling schedule for the next five years. The Diablo Canyon power plant refueling outages are typically scheduled every 20 months. The average length of a refueling outage over the last five years has been approximately 49.5 days. The actual refueling schedule and outage duration will depend on the scope of the work required for a particular outage and other factors.

Hydroelectric Generation Facilities. The Utility’s hydroelectric system consists of 107 generating units at 67 powerhouses, including the Helms pumped storage facility. Most of the Utility’s hydroelectric generation units are classified as “large” hydro facilities, as their powerhouse capacity exceeds 30 MW. The system includes 98 reservoirs, 73 diversions, 169 dams, 173 miles of canals, 43 miles of flumes, 132 miles of tunnels, 65 miles of pipe (penstocks, siphons and low head pipes), and 4 miles of natural waterways, and approximately 140,000 acres of fee-owned land. The system also includes water rights as specified in 89 permits or licenses and 160 statements of water diversion and use. The Helms pumped storage facility consists of three motor/generator units.

All of the Utility’s powerhouses are licensed by the FERC (except for three small powerhouses not subject to FERC licensing requirements), with license terms between 30 and 50 years. The Utility is in the process of renewing hydroelectric licenses associated with capacity of approximately 1,138 MW and surrendering the hydroelectric license associated with the Kilarc-Cow Creek Project which has a capacity of 5 MW. Although the original licenses associated with 1,070 MW of the 1,138 MW have expired, the licenses are automatically renewed each year until completion of the relicensing process. Licenses associated with approximately 2,812 MW of hydroelectric power will expire between 2014 and 2047.

Fossil Fuel-fired Generation Facilities. The Utility’s natural gas-fired generation facilities include the Colusa Generating Station, the Gateway Generating Station, and the Humboldt Bay generating station. In addition, the Utility owns and operates three fuel cell sites in the Bay Area.

Photovoltaic Facilities. The Utility’s operational PV facilities include the Five Points solar station (15 MW), the Westside solar station (15 MW), the Stroud solar station (20 MW), the Huron solar station (20 MW), the Cantua solar station (20 MW), the Giffen solar station (10 MW), the Gates solar station (20 MW), the West Gates solar station (10 MW) and the Guernsey solar station (20 MW). All of these facilities are located in Fresno County, except for the Guernsey solar station, which is located in Kings County.

Generation Resources from Third Parties

Qualifying Facility Power Purchase Agreements. In accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, the CPUC required electric utilities to purchase energy and capacity from independent power producers with generation facilities that meet the statutory definition of a qualifying facility. QFs primarily include small production facilities whose primary energy sources are co-generation facilities that produce combined heat and power and renewable generation facilities. As of December 31, 2013, the Utility had agreements with 170 QFs that are in operation, which expire at various dates between 2014 and 2028.

Irrigation Districts and Water Agencies. The Utility also has entered into agreements with various irrigation districts and water agencies to purchase hydroelectric power. These agreements require the Utility to make semi-annual fixed minimum payments as well as variable payments based on the operating and maintenance costs incurred by the irrigation districts and water agencies. These contracts will expire on various dates between 2014 and 2030.

Other Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements. The Utility has entered into several power purchase agreements for renewable and conventional generation resources, including tolling agreements and resource adequacy agreements.

For more information regarding the Utility’s power purchase agreements, see Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies — Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Renewable Generation Resources

California law requires load-serving entities, such as the Utility, to gradually increase the amount of renewable energy they deliver to their customers to at least 33% of their total annual retail sales. The RPS program, which became effective in December 2011, established three multi-year compliance periods that have gradually increasing RPS targets: 2011 through 2013, 2014 through 2016, and 2017 through 2020. After 2020, the RPS compliance periods will be annual. In 2013, the California law that established the RPS program was amended to allow the CPUC to set higher RPS targets. The CPUC is conducting a rulemaking proceeding to consider, among other issues, whether and how to increase the RPS targets. Renewable generation resources, for purposes of the RPS program, include bioenergy such as biogas and biomass, certain (primarily small) hydroelectric facilities and efficiency improvements, wind, solar, and geothermal energy. The Utility has made substantial financial commitments under third-party renewable energy contracts to meet its RPS requirements. The Utility forecasts that it will comply with its RPS requirements for the first and second compliance periods based on its current portfolio of executed contracts. The costs incurred by the Utility under third-party contracts to meet RPS requirements are expected to be recovered with other procurement costs through rates. The costs of Utility-owned renewable generation projects will be recoverable through traditional cost-of-service ratemaking mechanisms provided that costs do not exceed the maximum amounts authorized by the CPUC for the respective project.

During 2013, most renewable energy deliveries resulted from third party power purchase agreements and QF agreements. Additional renewable resources included the Utility’s small hydroelectric and solar facilities and certain irrigation district contracts (small hydroelectric facilities). (Under California law, generally only small hydroelectric generation resources (30 MW or less) can qualify as a renewable resource for purposes of meeting the RPS mandate, with some exceptions. Most of the Utility’s hydroelectric generating units have a capacity in excess of the 30-MW threshold and do not qualify as RPS-eligible resources.)

Total 2013 renewable deliveries are stated in the table below.

Type	GWh		Percent of Bundled Retail Sales
Biopower		3,239		4.3	%
Geothermal		3,693		4.9	%
Wind		4,904		6.5	%
RPS-Eligible Hydroelectric		1,581		2.1	%
Solar		3,613		4.7	%
Total		17,030		22.5	%

For more information regarding the Utility’s renewable energy contracts, see Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies — Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Electricity Transmission

At December 31, 2013, the Utility owned approximately 18,115 circuit miles of interconnected transmission lines operated at voltages of 500 kV to 60 kV. The Utility also operated 91 electric transmission substations with a capacity of approximately 62,289 MVA. The Utility’s electric transmission system is interconnected with electric power systems in the WECC, which includes many western states, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada, and parts of Mexico.

The CAISO, which is regulated by the FERC, controls the operation of the transmission system and provides open access transmission service on a nondiscriminatory basis. The CAISO also is responsible for ensuring that the reliability of the transmission system is maintained. The Utility acts as its own scheduling coordinator to schedule electricity deliveries to the transmission grid. The Utility also acts as a scheduling coordinator to deliver electricity produced by several governmental entities to the transmission grid under contracts the Utility entered into with these entities before the CAISO commenced operation in 1998. In addition, under the mandatory reliability standards implemented by the FERC, all users, owners, and operators of the transmission system, including the Utility, are also responsible for maintaining reliability through compliance with the reliability standards. See the discussion of reliability standards under “The Utility’s Regulatory Environment — Federal Regulation” above.

In November 2013, the Utility, MidAmerican Transmission LLC, and Citizens Energy Corporation were selected by CAISO to develop a new 70-mile transmission line to address the growing power demand in the greater Fresno area. The 230-kV line will span across Fresno, Madera and Kings counties, running from the Gates to Gregg substations, which are owned and operated by the Utility. In addition to increased power, the new line will help reduce the number and duration of power outages, create jobs and support economic development, and bolster efforts to integrate clean, renewable energy onto the grid. The transmission line would be operational no later than 2022 and could come on line earlier.

During 2013, the Utility upgraded several critical substations and re-conductored some transmission lines to improve maintenance and operating flexibility, reliability and safety, including the installation or replacement of 8 transmission substation transformers. The Utility expects to undertake various additional transmission projects over the next few years to upgrade and expand the Utility’s transmission system and increase capacity in order to accommodate system load growth, to secure access to renewable generation resources, to replace aging or obsolete equipment, and to improve system reliability. The Utility also has taken steps to improve the physical security of its transmission substations and equipment following the attack on one of its transmission substations in April 2013 which caused significant damage.

Electricity Distribution

The Utility's electricity distribution network consists of approximately 141,000 circuit miles of distribution lines (of which approximately 20% are underground and approximately 80% are overhead), 58 transmission-switching substations, and 603 distribution substations. The Utility’s distribution network interconnects with the Utility’s transmission system primarily at transmission switching substations and distribution substations where transformers and switching equipment reduce the high-voltage transmission levels at which the electricity transmission system transmits electricity, ranging from 500 kV to 60 kV, to lower voltages, ranging from 44 kV to 2.4 kV, suitable for distribution to the Utility’s customers.

The distribution substations serve as the central hubs of the Utility’s electricity distribution network and consist of transformers, voltage regulation equipment, protective devices, and structural equipment. Emanating from each substation are primary and secondary distribution lines connected to local transformers and switching equipment that link distribution lines and provide delivery to end-users. In some cases, the Utility sells electricity from its distribution lines or other facilities to entities, such as municipal and other utilities, that then resell the electricity. In April 2013, the Utility began construction on the first of three new electric distribution control centers that will house new smart grid technology, enhancing electric reliability for customers. Located in Concord, California, the 37,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed in 2014.

In 2013, the Utility replaced more than nearly 100,000 feet of underground cable, primarily in San Francisco and East Bay, replaced 100,686 feet of overhead wire, and installed or replaced 19 distribution substation transformer banks to improve reliability and provide capacity to accommodate growing demand. The Utility plans to continue performing work to improve the reliability and safety of its electricity distribution operations in 2014.

Natural Gas Utility Operations

During 2013, the Utility continued to make significant progress on efforts to improve the safety and reliability of its natural gas operations, including performing extensive pipeline testing and monitoring, and replacing and upgrading equipment. Much of this work is part of the Utility’s pipeline safety enhancement plan, approved by the CPUC in December 2012, to modernize and upgrade its natural gas transmission system to meet new, industry-wide safety standards. Many of these improvement efforts satisfy recommendations made to the Utility by the NTSB and the CPUC in 2010 and 2011 following their investigations into the San Bruno accident. The Utility has satisfied nine of the twelve NTSB recommendations. The Utility continues to make progress on the remaining three longer-term recommendations.

Since work began on the PSEP and other gas transmission work in 2011, the Utility has verified 657 miles of transmission pipeline through hydrostatic pressure tests or records verification, replaced 127 miles of transmission pipeline, installed 134 automated valves, and collected and digitized more than 3.5 million pipeline records. In July 2013, the Utility completed its search and review of records relating to pipeline pressure validation for all approximately 6,750 miles of its natural gas transmission system. (See the information within MD&A under the heading “Natural Gas Matters” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.) In 2013, as part of the Utility’s multi-year effort to identify and remove encroachments (e.g. building structures and vegetation overgrowth) from transmission pipeline rights-of-way, the Utility completed a “centerline” mapping survey of its entire gas transmission system to locate, mark, and map the center of all transmission pipelines. The Utility also continued to improve the integrity of transmission pipelines, which included retrofitting approximately 190 miles of pipeline in 2013 to accommodate in-line inspection tools.

The Utility has also implemented a new distribution integrity management program designed to enhance operations and improve the overall safety of the gas distribution system. The Utility has analyzed and replaced a total of 53 miles of Aldyl-A plastic pipeline in 2012 and 2013 and plans to replace 33 additional miles by the end of 2014. It also updated the geographic information system with information on approximately 5,600 miles of Aldyl-A pipeline, including additional pipeline and service attribute information. The Utility completed additional distribution leak surveys in 2013 (in addition to complying with regular distribution leak survey requirements) and repaired approximately 41,000 leaks of all grades.

In August 2013, the Utility opened its new 42,000-square-foot control center in San Ramon, California to monitor and control all aspects of its natural gas system across its service area. The Utility has continued to improve operations by utilizing modern tools and technologies to inspect pipelines, detect gas leaks, and provide real-time access to detailed maps of the Utility’s underground gas system. The Utility has improved its supervisory controls and data acquisition system to better detect pipeline leaks and breaks and improve its integrity management program, including incorporating new analysis tools to identify and assess risks to pipeline integrity. The Utility has also implemented a system to enable employees and contractors to report potential pipeline integrity issues and track corrective actions taken. Finally, the Utility has significantly improved the speed at which it responds to gas odor calls.

Natural Gas System Assets

The Utility owns and operates an integrated natural gas transportation, storage, and distribution system that includes most of northern and central California. At December 31, 2013, the Utility’s natural gas system consisted of approximately 42,559 miles of distribution pipelines, over 6,000 miles of backbone and local transmission pipelines, and various storage facilities. The Utility owns and operates eight natural gas compressor stations which receive, store and move natural gas through the Utility’s pipelines. The Utility’s backbone transmission system, composed primarily of Lines 300, 400, and 401, is used to transport gas from the Utility’s interconnection with interstate pipelines, other local distribution companies, and California gas fields to the Utility’s local transmission and distribution systems. Line 300 interconnects with pipeline systems located in the U.S. Southwest and the Rocky Mountains that are owned by third parties (Transwestern Pipeline Company, El Paso Natural Gas Company, Questar Southern Trails Pipeline Company, and Kern River Pipeline Company). Line 300 has a receipt capacity of approximately 1.1 Bcf per day. Line 400 and 401 interconnect at the California-Oregon border with the pipeline systems owned by GTN and Ruby Pipeline, LLC. This line has a receipt capacity at the border of approximately 2.2 Bcf per day. Through interconnections with other interstate pipelines, the Utility can receive natural gas from all the major natural gas basins in western North America, including basins in western Canada, the Rocky Mountains, and the southwestern United States. The Utility also is supplied by natural gas fields in California.

The Utility owns and operates three underground natural gas storage fields connected to the Utility’s transmission and storage system and has a 25% interest in the new Gill Ranch Storage Field. These storage fields and the Utility’s Gill Ranch share have a combined firm capacity of approximately 48.7 Bcf. In addition, three independent storage operators are interconnected to the Utility's northern California transportation system.

Natural Gas Services

The CPUC divides the Utility’s on-system natural gas customers into two categories for the purpose of determining service reliability: core and non-core customers. This classification is based largely on a customer’s annual natural gas usage. The core customer class is comprised mainly of residential and small commercial natural gas customers. The non-core customer class is comprised of industrial, large commercial, and electric generation natural gas customers. In 2013, core customers represented more than 99% of the Utility’s total natural gas customers and 37% of its total natural gas deliveries, while non-core customers comprised less than 1% of the Utility’s total natural gas customers and 63% of its total natural gas deliveries. In addition to deliveries discussed above, the Utility delivers gas to off-system customers (i.e., outside of the Utility’s service territory) and to third-party natural gas storage customers.

The Utility provides natural gas transportation services to all core and non-core customers connected to the Utility’s system in its service territory. Core customers can purchase natural gas procurement service (i.e., natural gas supply) from either the Utility or alternate energy service providers. When the Utility provides both transportation and procurement services, the Utility refers to the combined service as “bundled” natural gas service. Currently, more than 91% of core customers, representing nearly 80% of the annual core market demand, receive bundled natural gas service from the Utility.

The Utility does not provide procurement service to large non-core customers such as electricity generators, QF co-generators, enhanced oil recovery customers, refiners, and other large non-core customers. However, some smaller non-core customers are permitted to elect to receive core service, including procurement service, from the Utility if they agree to receive such service for a minimum of five years. Core service to non-core customers is subject to these restrictions to protect core procurement customers from price increases that could otherwise result if the Utility incurred costs to reinforce its pipeline system and take other measures to provide core service reliability on a short-term basis to serve new load from non-core customers.

The Utility offers backbone gas transmission, gas delivery (local transmission and distribution), and gas storage services as separate and distinct services to its non-core customers. Access to the Utility's backbone gas transmission system is available for all natural gas marketers and shippers, as well as non-core customers.

Natural Gas Supplies

The Utility purchases natural gas to serve its core customers directly from producers and marketers in both Canada and the United States. The contract lengths and natural gas sources of the Utility’s portfolio of natural gas purchase contracts have fluctuated generally based on market conditions. During 2013, the Utility purchased approximately 240,414 MMcf of natural gas (net of the sale of excess supply of gas). Substantially all this natural gas was purchased under contracts with a term of one year or less. The Utility’s largest individual supplier represented approximately 13% of the total natural gas volume the Utility purchased during 2013.

Interstate and Canadian Natural Gas Transportation Services Agreements

The Utility has a number of arrangements with interstate and Canadian third-party transportation service providers to serve core customers' service demands. The Utility has firm transportation agreements for delivery of natural gas from western Canada to the United States-Canada border with TransCanada NOVA Gas Transmission, Ltd. and TransCanada Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd., B.C. System. These companies’ pipeline systems connect at the border to the pipeline system owned by GTN, which provides natural gas transportation services to a point of interconnection with the Utility’s natural gas transportation system on the Oregon-California border near Malin, Oregon. The Utility also has firm transportation agreements with Ruby Pipeline, LLC to transport this gas from the U.S Rocky Mountains to the interconnection point with the Utility’s natural gas transportation system in the area of Malin, Oregon, at the California border, and firm transportation agreements with Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC and El Paso Natural Gas Company to transport this natural gas from supply points in the U.S. Southwest to interconnection points with the Utility's natural gas transportation system in the area of California near Topock, Arizona. The Utility also has a transportation agreement with Kern River Gas Transmission Company to transport gas from the U.S. Rocky Mountains to the interconnect point with the Utility’s natural gas system in the area of Daggett, CA.

Public Purpose and Customer Programs

California law has established various public purpose programs related to energy efficiency, energy research and development, and renewable energy resources. These programs include the CSI and other self-generation programs, as discussed under “Self-Generation Incentive Program and California Solar Initiative,” below. California law requires the CPUC to authorize funding for these programs through the collection of rate surcharges and other rate components. Additionally, the CPUC has authorized funding for energy savings assistance and demand response programs. For 2013, the Utility was authorized revenue requirements of $724 million from electric customers and $160 million from gas customers to fund public purpose and other programs.

Energy Efficiency Programs

The Utility’s energy efficiency programs are designed to encourage the manufacture, design, distribution, and customer use of energy efficient appliances, other energy-using equipment and energy management products to meet energy savings goals in California. The CPUC has authorized a total of $823 million to fund the Utility’s 2013 and 2014 energy efficiency programs, including programs administered by the Marin Energy Authority, a CCA, and a regional network of San Francisco Bay area cities and counties.

On December 20, 2012, the CPUC approved an energy efficiency incentive mechanism to reward the Utility and other California energy utilities for the successful implementation of their 2010-2012 energy efficiency programs. The mechanism provides each utility with an earnings rate composed of a 5% management fee based on qualified program expenditures and an additional performance bonus of up to 1%. The Utility’s earnings rate for the 2010-2012 energy efficiency program cycle is 5.68%. The CPUC has awarded the Utility $21 million and $22 million for program years 2010 and 2011, respectively. The utilities will file their incentive claims based on the CPUC-audited 2012 program expenditures in the third quarter of 2014 for approval by the CPUC in the fourth quarter of 2014.

On September 5, 2013, the CPUC approved a new energy efficiency incentive mechanism designed to reward the Utility and the other California investor-owned utilities for the successful implementation of their energy efficiency portfolios for 2013 and beyond. The mechanism provides each utility with an ability to earn shareholder incentives through four separate earnings categories. The mechanism includes a cap on earnings for the Utility of approximately $41 million annually for 2013 and 2014.

Demand Response Programs

Demand response programs provide financial incentives and other benefits to participating customers to curtail on-peak energy use. In April 2012, the CPUC authorized the Utility to collect $192 million to fund its 2012-2014 demand response programs. On January 16, 2014, the CPUC approved a 2015 and 2016 bridge extension of the existing programs while it determines the enhanced role of demand response in meeting California’s resource planning needs and operational requirements, with the exact amount of funding to be determined in a future CPUC decision. Pending a decision, funding will remain capped at the same level as the current 2013-2014 demand response budget.

Self-Generation Incentive Program and California Solar Initiative

The Utility administers the self-generation incentive program authorized by the CPUC to provide incentives to electricity and gas customers who install certain types of clean or renewable distributed generation and energy storage resources that meet all or a portion of their onsite energy usage. The CPUC approved annual funding for the self-generation incentive program of $36 million through 2014, with any carryover funds to be administered through 2015. The Utility also administers the CSI in its service territory. The CPUC has authorized the Utility to collect approximately $1.1 billion from 2007 through 2016 to fund customer incentives for the installation of retail solar energy projects to serve onsite load, as well as to fund research, development, and demonstration activities, and administration expenses. The current overall objective of this initiative is to install 3,000 MW (through both California investor-owned electric utilities and municipal electric utilities) through 2016. The California legislature approved additional funding of $108 million for the low income CSI program and the CPUC will provide direction on this extension in 2014.

Low-Income Energy Efficiency Programs and California Alternate Rates for Energy

The CPUC has authorized the Utility to collect approximately $469 million to support the Utility’s energy efficiency programs for low-income and fixed-income customers over 2012 through 2014. The Utility also provides a discount rate called the California Alternate Rates for Energy for low-income customers. This rate subsidy is paid for by the Utility’s other customers. During any given year, the extent of the subsidy for customers collectively depends upon the number of customers participating in the program and their actual energy usage. In 2013, the amount of this subsidy was approximately $833 million. The CPUC also authorized the Utility to recover approximately $45 million in administrative costs relating to the California Alternate Rates for Energy subsidy through 2014.

Environmental Regulation

The Utility’s operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and requirements relating to the protection of the environment and the safety and health of the Utility's personnel and the public. These laws and requirements relate to a broad range of activities, including the discharge of pollutants into the air, water, and soil; the reporting and reduction of CO2 and other GHG emissions; the remediation of hazardous and radioactive substances; the transportation, handling, storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel; and the environmental impacts of land use, including endangered species and habitat protection.

The penalties for violation of these laws and requirements can be severe and may include significant fines, damages, and criminal or civil sanctions. These laws and requirements also may require the Utility, under certain circumstances, to interrupt or curtail operations. To comply with these laws and requirements, the Utility may need to spend substantial amounts from time to time to construct, acquire, modify, or replace equipment, acquire permits and/or emission allowances or other emission credits for facility operations and clean-up, or decommission waste disposal areas at the Utility's current or former facilities and at third-party sites where the Utility’s wastes may have been discharged. The actual amount of costs that the Utility will incur is subject to many factors, including changing laws and regulations, the ultimate outcome of complex factual investigations, evolving technologies, selection of compliance alternatives, the nature and extent of required remediation, the extent of the facility owner's responsibility, the availability of recoveries or contributions from third parties, and the development of market-based strategies to address climate change. Generally, the Utility has recovered the costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the Utility's rates, subject to reasonableness review. Environmental costs associated with the clean-up of most sites that contain hazardous substances are subject to a special ratemaking mechanism described in Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies—Environmental Remediation Contingencies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated by reference.

Air Quality and Climate Change

The Utility's electricity generation plants, natural gas pipeline operations, fleet, and fuel storage tanks are subject to numerous air pollution control laws, including the federal Clean Air Act, as well as state and local statutes. These laws and regulations cover, among other pollutants, those contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, SO2, NOx, GHGs, and particulate matter.

Federal Regulation. At the federal level, the EPA is charged with implementation and enforcement of the Clean Air Act. Although there have been several legislative attempts to address climate change through imposition of nationwide regulatory limits on GHG emissions, comprehensive federal legislation has not yet been enacted.. In the absence of federal legislative action, the EPA has used its existing authority under the Clean Air Act to address GHG emissions, including establishing an annual GHG reporting requirement. The Utility files annual GHG emission reports with the EPA covering its electric and gas operations in compliance with the EPA’s reporting requirement. In addition, in January 2014, the EPA published draft regulations under section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act to control GHG emissions from new fossil fuel-fired power plants. While these draft regulations as presently written do not apply to the Utility’s power plants currently in operation or under construction, it is possible that the final regulations may affect the design, construction, operation and cost of future fossil fuel-fired power plants. The EPA has also announced that it intends to issue draft regulations applicable to GHG emissions from existing power plants under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act in June of 2014.

State Regulation. AB 32 requires the gradual reduction of state-wide GHG emissions to the 1990 level by 2020. The CARB is the state agency charged with monitoring GHG levels and adopting regulations to implement and enforce AB 32. The CARB established a state-wide GHG 1990 emissions baseline of 427 million metric tons of CO2 (or its equivalent) to serve as the 2020 emissions limit for the state of California. The CARB has approved various regulations to implement AB 32, including GHG emissions reporting and a state-wide, comprehensive “cap and trade” program that sets gradually declining limits (or “caps”) on the amount of GHGs that may be emitted by the major sources of GHG emissions.

The cap and trade program’s first two-year compliance period, which began January 1, 2013, applies to the electricity generation and large industrial sectors. The next three-year compliance period, from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017, will expand to include the natural gas supply and transportation sectors, effectively covering all the capped sectors until 2020. During each year of the program, the CARB will issue emission allowances (i.e., the rights to emit GHGs) equal to the amount of GHGs emissions allowed for that year. Emitters can obtain allowances from the CARB at quarterly auctions held by the CARB or from third parties or exchanges in the market for trading GHG allowances. The CARB is allocating a fixed number of allowances (which will decrease each year) for free to regulated electric distribution utilities, including the Utility, for the benefit of their electricity customers. The utilities are required to consign their electricity-related allowances for auction by the CARB. The CPUC has ordered the utilities to allocate their electricity-related auction revenues among certain classes of their customers. Although the CPUC has previously authorized the utilities to recover their electricity related GHG compliance costs through rates, the recovery of these costs has been temporarily deferred until May 2014. In addition, the CARB may allocate a number of allowances for free to natural gas suppliers, including the Utility, for the benefit of the Utility’s natural gas customers. In anticipation of the Utility’s expanded compliance obligations for natural gas suppliers beginning January 1, 2015, the Utility has filed requests at the CPUC for authority to recover the natural gas supplier-related compliance costs from natural gas customers on an annual basis effective January 1, 2015. The Utility expects all costs and revenues associated with GHG cap-and-trade to be passed through to customers.

Increasing use of renewable energy supplies also is expected to help reduce GHG emissions in California. (For more information, see “Renewable Generation Resources” above.)

Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies. During 2013, the Utility continued its programs to develop strategies to mitigate the impact of the Utility’s operations (including customer energy usage) on the environment and to develop its strategy to plan for the actions that it will need to take to adapt to the likely impacts that climate change will have on the Utility’s future operations. With respect to electric operations, climate scientists project that, sometime in the next several decades, climate change will lead to increased electricity demand due to more extreme and frequent hot weather events. Climate scientists also predict that climate change will result in significant reductions in snowpack in parts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This impact could, in turn, affect the Utility’s hydroelectric generation. At this time, the Utility does not anticipate that reductions in Sierra Nevada snowpack will have a significant impact on its hydroelectric generation, due in large part to its adaptation strategies. For example, one adaptation strategy the Utility is developing is a combination of operating changes that may include, but are not limited to, higher winter carryover reservoir storage levels, reduced conveyance flows in canals and flumes in response to an increased portion of precipitation falling as rain rather than snow, and reduced discretionary reservoir water releases during the late spring and summer. If the Utility is not successful in fully adapting to projected reductions in snowpack over the coming decades, it may become necessary to replace some of its hydroelectric generation with electricity from other sources, including GHG-emitting natural gas-fired power plants.

With respect to natural gas operations, both safety-related pipeline hydrotesting/strength testing and normal pipeline maintenance and operations, releases the GHG methane to the atmosphere. The Utility has taken proactive steps to reduce the release of methane by implementing techniques including drafting and cross-compression which reduces the pressures and volumes of natural gas within pipelines prior to venting. In addition, the Utility continues to replace a substantial portion of its older cast iron, steel and plastic distribution pipelines and steel gas transmission mains with new pipe, which reduces leakage. In 2013, the Utility implemented a proactive natural gas leak repair program, 40,676 gas leaks were identified, graded, prioritized and repaired. The primary reason for this effort was public safety, however, eliminating gas leaks results in a positive impact to the environment.

The Utility believes its strategies to reduce GHG emissions—such as energy efficiency and demand response programs, infrastructure improvements, and the support of renewable energy development—are also effective strategies for adapting to the expected increased demand for electricity in extreme hot weather events likely to result from climate change. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are also assessing the benefits and challenges associated with various climate change policies and identifying how a comprehensive program can be structured to mitigate overall costs to customers and the economy as a whole while ensuring that the environmental objectives of the program are met.

Emissions Data

PG&E Corporation and the Utility track and report their annual environmental performance results across a broad spectrum of areas. As a result of the time necessary for a thorough, third-party verification of the Utility’s GHG emissions, emissions data for 2012 are the most recent data available. The Utility reports its GHG emissions to the CARB. The Utility also voluntarily reports its GHG emissions to The Climate Registry, a non-profit organization that has a reporting and measurement standard applicable to most industry sectors across North America, which enables the Utility to publicly report GHG emissions not covered by mandatory reporting requirements. The Utility’s third-party verified voluntary GHG inventory for 2012 totaled more than 57 million metric tonnes of CO2-e, which includes approximately 38 million metric tonnes CO2-e from customer natural gas use.

Beginning with its 2010 emissions, the Utility reports the GHG emissions from its facilities and operations to the EPA under its mandatory reporting requirements. PG&E Corporation and the Utility also publish third-party-verified GHG emissions data in their annual Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report.

2012 Emissions Reported to the California Air Resources Board

The following table shows the GHG emissions data the Utility reported to the CARB under AB 32.

Includes emissions from the combustion of natural gas delivered to all entities on the Utility’s distribution system, with the exception of gas delivered to other natural gas local distribution companies. This figure does not represent the Utility’s compliance obligation under AB 32, which will be equivalent to the above reported value less the fuel that is delivered to covered entities as calculated by the CARB.

Benchmarking GHG Emissions for Delivered Electricity

The Utility’s third-party-verified CO2 emissions rate associated with the electricity delivered to customers in 2012 was 445 pounds of CO2 per MWh. The Utility’s 2012 emissions rate as compared to the national and California averages for electric utilities is shown in the following table:

	Amount (Pounds of CO2 per MWh)
U.S. Average (1)		1,216
California’s Average (1)		659
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (2)		445

(2)

Since the Utility purchases a portion of its electricity from the wholesale market, the Utility is not able to track some of its delivered electricity back to a specific generator. Therefore, there is some unavoidable uncertainty in the Utility’s total emissions and the Utility’s emission rate for delivered electricity.

Emissions Data for Utility-Owned Generation

In addition to GHG emissions data provided above, the table below sets forth information about the GHG and other emissions from the Utility’s owned generation facilities. The Utility’s owned generation (primarily nuclear and hydroelectric facilities) comprised more than 40% of the Utility’s delivered electricity in 2012. The Utility’s fossil fuel-fired generation comprised approximately 8% of the Utility’s delivered electricity in 2012.

Water Quality

The EPA published draft regulations in April 2011 to implement the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act that requires cooling water intake structures at electric power plants, such as the nuclear generation facilities at Diablo Canyon, reflect the best technology available to minimize adverse environmental impacts. In June 2012, the EPA proposed changes to these draft regulations which, if adopted, would provide more flexibility in complying with some of the requirements. It is currently uncertain when the EPA will issue final regulations.

At the state level, the California Water Board has adopted a policy on once-through cooling that generally requires the installation of cooling towers or other significant measures to reduce the impact on marine life from existing power generation facilities in California by at least 85%. The California Water Board has appointed a committee to evaluate the feasibility and cost of using alternative technologies to achieve compliance at nuclear power plants, including Diablo Canyon. The committee’s consultant is expected to submit a final report to the California Water Board in 2014. If the California Water Board requires the installation of cooling towers that the Utility believes are not technically or economically feasible, the Utility may be forced to cease operations at Diablo Canyon and may incur a material charge. Even if the Utility is not required to install cooling towers, it could incur significant costs to comply with alternative compliances measures or to make payments to support various environmental mitigation projects. The Utility would seek to recover such costs in rates. The Utility’s Diablo Canyon operations must be in compliance with the California Water Board’s policy by December 31, 2024.

Hazardous Waste Compliance and Remediation

The Utility's facilities are subject to the requirements issued by the EPA under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the CERCLA, as well as other state hazardous waste laws and other environmental requirements. CERCLA and similar state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site, and in some cases corporate successors to the operators or arrangers. Under CERCLA, these persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, damages to natural resources, and the costs of required health studies. In the ordinary course of the Utility's operations, the Utility generates waste that falls within CERCLA's definition of hazardous substances and, as a result, has been and may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which these hazardous substances have been released into the environment.

The Utility has a comprehensive program in place to comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to hazardous materials and hazardous waste compliance, remediation activities, and other environmental requirements. The Utility assesses and monitors, on an ongoing basis, measures that may be necessary to comply with these laws and regulations and implements changes to its program as deemed appropriate. The Utility’s remediation activities are overseen by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, several California regional water quality control boards, and various other federal, state, and local agencies.

The Utility has been, and may be, required to pay for environmental remediation at sites where the Utility has been, or may be, a potentially responsible party under CERCLA and similar state environmental laws. These sites include former manufactured gas plant sites, power plant sites, gas gathering sites, sites where natural gas compressor stations are located, and sites used by the Utility for the storage, recycling, or disposal of potentially hazardous substances. Under federal and California laws, the Utility may be responsible for remediation of hazardous substances even if it did not deposit those substances on the site. Although the Utility has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, estimated costs may vary significantly from actual costs, and the amount of additional future costs may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognized. For more information about environmental remediation liabilities, see the sections within MD&A entitled “Environmental Matters,” “Critical Accounting Polices,” and Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies−Environmental Remediation Contingencies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Generation Facilities

Operations at the Utility's current and former generation facilities may have resulted in contaminated soil or groundwater. Although the Utility sold most of its geothermal and fossil fuel-fired plants, in many cases the Utility retained pre-closing environmental liability under various environmental laws. The Utility currently is investigating or remediating several such sites with the oversight of various governmental agencies. Fossil fuel-fired Units 1 and 2 of the Utility’s Humboldt Bay power plant shut down in September 2010, and are now in the decommissioning process along with the nuclear Unit 3, which was shut down in 1976. The Utility has entered into a voluntary cleanup agreement with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and is currently completing a soil and groundwater investigation to determine what soil and groundwater remediation may be necessary.

Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

The Utility is assessing whether and to what extent remedial action may be necessary to mitigate potential hazards posed by certain retired MGP sites. During their operation, from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s, MGPs produced lampblack and coal tar residues. The residues from these operations, which may remain at some sites, contain chemical compounds that now are classified as hazardous. The Utility has been coordinating with environmental agencies and third-party owners to evaluate and take appropriate action to mitigate any potential environmental concerns at 41 MGP sites that the Utility owned or operated in the past.

Natural Gas Compressor Stations

Groundwater at the Utility’s Hinkley and Topock natural gas compressor stations contains hexavalent chromium as a result of the Utility’s past operating practices. The Utility is responsible for remediating this groundwater contamination and for abating the effects of the contamination on the environment. The Utility has incurred significant environmental liabilities associated with these sites. For more information about the Utility’s remediation and abatement efforts and related liabilities, see Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies−Environmental Remediation Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Nuclear Fuel Disposal

Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the DOE and electric utilities with commercial nuclear power plants were authorized to enter into contracts under which the DOE would be required to dispose of the utilities’ spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste by January 1998, in exchange for fees paid by the utilities. The DOE has been unable to meet its contractual obligation with the Utility to dispose of nuclear waste from the Utility’s two nuclear generating units at Diablo Canyon and the retired nuclear facility at Humboldt Bay Unit 3. As a result, the Utility constructed an interim dry cask storage facility to store spent fuel at Diablo Canyon through at least 2024, and a separate facility at Humboldt Bay. The Utility and other nuclear power plant owners sued the DOE to recover the costs that they incurred to construct interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel.

On September 5, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Utility executed a settlement agreement that awarded the Utility $266 million for spent fuel storage costs incurred through December 31, 2010. In 2013, the Utility was awarded an additional $29 million for costs incurred between January 2011 and May 2012. These proceeds were recorded in a regulatory balancing account and are being refunded to customers through rates. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Utility executed an addendum extending the term of the settlement agreement for an additional three years, through 2016. The amended settlement agreement does not address costs incurred for spent fuel storage after 2016 and such costs could be the subject to future litigation. Considerable uncertainty continues to exist regarding when and whether the DOE will meet its contractual obligation to the Utility and other nuclear power plant owners to dispose of spent fuel.

Nuclear Decommissioning

The Utility's nuclear power facilities consist of two units at Diablo Canyon and the retired facility at Humboldt Bay Unit 3. Nuclear decommissioning requires the safe removal of nuclear facilities from service and the reduction of residual radioactivity to a level that permits termination of the NRC license and release of the property for unrestricted use. The Utility files an application with the CPUC every three years requesting approval of the Utility’s estimated decommissioning costs and authorization to recover the estimated costs through rates. Nuclear decommissioning charges collected through rates are held in nuclear decommissioning trusts to be used for the eventual decommissioning of each nuclear unit. (See the discussion of the 2012 Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennal Proceeding in the section of MD&A entitled “Regulatory Matters−Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant” and Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.)

Endangered Species

Many of the Utility's facilities and operations are located in, or pass through, areas that are designated as critical habitats for federal, or state-listed endangered, threatened, or sensitive species. The Utility may be required to incur additional costs or be subjected to additional restrictions on operations if additional threatened or endangered species are listed or additional critical habitats are designated at or near the Utility's facilities or operations. The Utility is seeking to secure “habitat conservation plans” to ensure long-term compliance with state and federal endangered species acts. The Utility expects that it will be able to recover costs of complying with state and federal endangered species acts through rates.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

A discussion of the significant risks associated with investments in the securities of PG&E Corporation and the Utility appears within MD&A under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

ITEM 2. Properties

The Utility owns or has obtained the right to occupy and/or use real property comprising the Utility's electricity and natural gas distribution facilities, natural gas gathering facilities and generation facilities, and natural gas and electricity transmission facilities, which are described above under “Electric Utility Operations” and “Natural Gas Utility Operations” which information is incorporated herein by reference. The Utility occupies or uses real property that it does not own primarily through various leases, easements, rights-of-way, permits, or licenses from private landowners or governmental authorities. In total, the Utility occupies 11.0 million square feet of real property, including 8.6 million square feet that the Utility owns. The Utility’s corporate headquarters comprises approximately 1.7 million square feet located in several Utility-owned buildings in San Francisco, California. PG&E Corporation also has entered into leases for approximately 87,000 square feet of office space in San Francisco, California. Leases for 40,000 square feet will expire in 2014 and the remaining leases will expire in 2022.

The Utility currently owns approximately 170,000 acres of land, including approximately 140,000 acres of watershed lands. Pursuant to its 2002 Settlement Agreement with the CPUC, the Utility agreed to permanently preserve six “beneficial public values” on all its watershed lands through conservation easements or equivalent protections, and to make up to 44,000 acres of its watershed lands available for donation to public entities or qualified non-profit conservation organizations through its Land Conservation Commitment. The Utility will not donate watershed lands that contain the Utility's or a joint licensee's hydroelectric generation facilities, but this land will be encumbered with conservation easements. Pursuant to the 2002 Settlement Agreement, the Pacific Forest Watershed Lands Stewardship Council was formed to oversee the development and implementation of a Land Conservation Plan that articulates the long-term management objectives for these watershed lands. The Council is governed by an 18-member board of directors, one of whom is appointed by the Utility. The other members represent a range of diverse stakeholders in the watershed lands. The Utility’s goal is to implement all the Land Conservation Commitment transactions by the end of 2017, subject to securing all required regulatory approvals.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

In addition to the following legal proceedings, PG&E Corporation and the Utility are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of their business. For more information regarding PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s liability for legal matters, see Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Diablo Canyon Power Plant

The Utility's Diablo Canyon power plant employs a “once-through” cooling water system that is regulated under a Clean Water Act permit issued by the Central Coast Board. This permit allows the Diablo Canyon power plant to discharge the cooling water at a temperature no more than 22 degrees above the temperature of the ambient receiving water, and requires that the beneficial uses of the water be protected. The beneficial uses of water in this region include industrial water supply, marine and wildlife habitat, shellfish harvesting, and preservation of rare and endangered species. In January 2000, the Central Coast Board issued a proposed draft cease and desist order alleging that, although the temperature limit has never been exceeded, the Utility's Diablo Canyon power plant's discharge was not protective of beneficial uses.

In October 2000, the Utility and the Central Coast Board reached a tentative settlement under which the Central Coast Board agreed to find that the Utility's discharge of cooling water from the Diablo Canyon power plant protects beneficial uses and that the intake technology reflects the best technology available, as defined in the federal Clean Water Act. As part of the tentative settlement, the Utility agreed to take measures to preserve certain acreage north of the plant and to fund approximately $6 million in environmental projects and future environmental monitoring related to coastal resources. On March 21, 2003, the Central Coast Board voted to accept the settlement agreement. On June 17, 2003, the settlement agreement was executed by the Utility, the Central Coast Board and the California Attorney General's Office. A condition to the effectiveness of the settlement agreement is that the Central Coast Board renew Diablo Canyon's permit.

At its July 10, 2003 meeting, the Central Coast Board did not renew the permit and continued the permit renewal hearing indefinitely. Several Central Coast Board members indicated that they no longer supported the settlement agreement, and the Central Coast Board requested a team of independent scientists, as part of a technical working group, to develop additional information on possible mitigation measures for Central Coast Board staff. In January 2005, the Central Coast Board published the scientists' draft report recommending several such mitigation measures. If the Central Coast Board adopts the scientists' recommendations, and if the Utility ultimately is required to implement the projects proposed in the draft report, it could incur costs of up to approximately $30 million. The Utility would seek to recover these costs through rates charged to customers.

The EPA published draft regulations in April 2011 to implement the requirements of SECTION 316(b) of the federal Clean Water Act that requires cooling water intake structures at electric power plants, such as the nuclear generation facilities at Diablo Canyon, to reflect the best technology available to minimize adverse environmental impacts. In June 2012, the EPA proposed changes to these draft regulations which, if adopted, would provide more flexibility in complying with some of the requirements. It is currently uncertain when the EPA will issue final regulations. As part of the implementation process for the California Water Resources Control Board’s once-through cooling policy, the California Water Board’s nuclear review committee is overseeing development of an alternative technology assessment for Diablo Canyon. The committee’s consultant is expected to submit its final report to the California Water Board in 2014. The California Water Board’s policy on once-through cooling and the EPA’s final regulations could affect future negotiations between the Central Coast Board and the Utility regarding the status of the 2003 settlement agreement. (See “Item 1. Business−Environmental Matters−Water Quality” above.) PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material impact on their Utility's financial condition or results of operations.

Litigation Related to the San Bruno Accident and Natural Gas Spending

Following the San Bruno accident various lawsuits were filed in San Mateo County Superior Court against PG&E Corporation and the Utility to seek compensation for personal injury and property damage, and other relief, including punitive damages. In 2011 and 2012 , the Utility entered into settlement agreements to resolve many of the claims and In September 2013, the Utility agreed to settle the claims of substantially all of the remaining plaintiffs who sought compensation. At December 31, 2013, the Utility has recorded cumulative charges of $565 million as its best estimate of probable loss for third-party claims related to the San Bruno accident and has made cumulative payments of $520 million to third-party claimants.

At December 31, 2013, there were also four purported shareholder derivative lawsuits outstanding against PG&E Corporation and the Utility seeking recovery on behalf of PG&E Corporation and the Utility for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by officers and directors, among other claims. The plaintiffs for three of these lawsuits have filed a consolidated complaint with the San Mateo County Superior Court. The court has lifted the stay on these proceedings for the limited purpose of allowing the parties to exchange information and discuss possible resolution. A case management conference is scheduled for April 18, 2014. The remaining purported shareholder derivative lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, remains stayed. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are uncertain when and how these derivative lawsuits will be resolved.

In addition, on August 23, 2012, a complaint was filed in the San Francisco Superior Court against PG&E Corporation and the Utility (and other unnamed defendants) by individuals who seek certification of a class consisting of all California residents who were customers of the Utility between 1997 and 2010, with certain exceptions. The plaintiffs allege that the Utility collected more than $100 million in customer rates from 1997 through 2010 for the purpose of various safety measures and operations projects but instead used the funds for general corporate purposes such as executive compensation and bonuses. PG&E Corporation and the Utility contest the allegations.

For additional information, see the discussion within MD&A under the heading, “Natural Gas Matters” and in Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2013 Annual Report, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.

Pending CPUC Investigations

There are three CPUC investigative enforcement proceedings pending against the Utility related to the Utility’s natural gas operations and the San Bruno accident. Evidentiary hearings and briefing on the issue of alleged violations have been completed in each of these investigations. The CPUC has stated that it is prepared to impose significant penalties on the Utility if the CPUC determines that the Utility violated applicable laws, rules, and orders. The SED has recommended that the CPUC impose what the SED characterizes as a penalty of $2.25 billion on the Utility, consisting of a $300 million fine payable to the State General Fund and $1.950 billion of non-recoverable costs to perform work under the Utility’s pipeline safety enhancement plan and to implement the operational remedies. Several other parties have also submitted penalty recommendations. The administrative law judges who oversee the investigation are expected to issue one or more presiding officers’ decisions to address the violations that they have determined the Utility committed and to impose penalties. It is uncertain when the decisions will be issued.

For more information, see discussions within MD&A under the heading, “Natural Gas Matters,” and Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.

Other CPUC Enforcement Matters

The Utility and other California gas corporations are required to provide notice to the SED of any self-identified or self-corrected violations of certain state and federal regulations that relate to the safety of natural gas facilities and operating practices. The SED is authorized to issue citations and impose fines for self-identified or self-corrected violations and for violations that the SED identifies through its periodic audits of the Utility’s operations or otherwise. In January 2012, the SED imposed fines of $16.8 million on the Utility for self-reported failure to perform certain leak surveys and in 2013 the SED imposed fines ranging from $50,000 to $8.1 million for self-reported violations. The Utility has filed over 50 self-reports with the SED, plus additional follow-up reports, that the SED has not yet addressed. The SED is expected to impose fines or take enforcement action with respect to some of these self-reports.

In August 2013, the CPUC issued two OSCs related to a document submitted by the Utility on July 3, 2013 as “errata” to correct information about some segments in Lines 101 and 147 (two of the Utility’s natural gas transmission pipelines that serve the San Francisco peninsula) that had been previously provided to the CPUC in October 2011 to allow the Utility to restore operating pressure on these pipelines. On December 19, 2013, the CPUC issued a decision to impose fines of approximately $14 million on the Utility in connection with the errata submission, finding that the Utility violated CPUC rules that prohibit any person from misleading the CPUC. On January 23, 2014, the Utility filed an application for rehearing of this decision, arguing that it is erroneous in several respects. It is uncertain when the CPUC will issue a decision on the other OSC that directed the Utility to show cause why all orders issued by the CPUC to authorize increased operating pressure on the Utility’s gas transmission pipelines should not be immediately suspended pending competent demonstration that the Utility’s natural gas system records are reliable.

In addition, the Utility has notified the CPUC and the SED that the Utility is undertaking a system-wide effort to survey its transmission pipelines and identify and remove encroachments from pipeline rights-of-way over a multi-year period. The SED could impose penalties on the Utility or take other enforcement action in connection with this matter.

Criminal Investigation

In June 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice, the California Attorney General’s Office, and the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office began an investigation of the San Bruno accident and indicated that the Utility is a target of the investigation. Although the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office has publicly indicated that it will not pursue state criminal charges, the U.S. Department of Justice may still bring criminal charges, including charges based on claims that the Utility violated the federal Pipeline Safety Act, against PG&E Corporation or the Utility. It is uncertain whether any criminal charges will be brought against any of PG&E Corporation’s or the Utility’s current or former employees. The Utility is continuing to cooperate with federal investigators. A criminal charge or finding would further harm the Utility’s reputation. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are unable to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible losses associated with any civil or criminal penalties that could be imposed and such penalties could have a material impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, the Utility’s business or operations could be negatively affected by any remedial measures that the Utility may undertake, such as operating its natural gas transmission business subject to the supervision and oversight of an independent monitor.

See the discussions within MD&A under the heading “Natural Gas Matters – Criminal Investigation,” and in Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.

Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedules of the Company and Utility listed in Item 15.
