Part I

Item 1.   Business.

General

PG&E Funding LLC is a special purpose, single member limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a provider of electricity and natural gas services in northern and central California, owns all of the equity of PG&E Funding LLC.  The principal executive office of PG&E Funding LLC is located at 245 Market Street, Suite 424, San Francisco, California 94105.  PG&E Funding LLC's mailing address is Mail Code N4E, P.O. Box 770000, San Francisco, California 94177 and its phone number is (415) 972-5467.  
     PG&E Funding LLC was organized in July 1997 for the limited purpose of (1) purchasing, holding, and servicing the Transition Property, as described below, (2) issuing notes secured primarily by the Transition Property, and (3) performing related activities.  PG&E Funding LLC has no employees and is restricted by its organizational documents from engaging in other activities.   Additionally, PG&E Funding LLC's organizational documents require it to operate in a manner such that it should not be included in the bankruptcy estate of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. 
     PG&E Funding LLC issued $2,901,000,000 in principal amount of PG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-8, or the Notes, pursuant to an Indenture between PG&E Funding LLC and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (formerly Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A.), as "Trustee".  PG&E Funding LLC sold the Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Special Purpose Trust PG&E-1, a Delaware business trust, or the Trust.  The Trust then issued certificates corresponding to each class of Notes, or the Certificates, in a public offering.
     PG&E Funding LLC entered into a servicing agreement, or the Servicing Agreement, with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  The Servicing Agreement requires Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as "Servicer", to service the Transition Property on behalf of PG&E Funding LLC.  In addition, PG&E Funding LLC entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  This agreement requires Pacific Gas and Electric Company to perform administrative and operational duties for PG&E Funding LLC.  (These agreements are discussed in greater detail in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.)
     Since the purchase of the Transition Property and issuance of the Notes, the only material business conducted by PG&E Funding LLC has been the collection of the FTA Charges, as described below, and the repayment of the Notes.  During 2004, PG&E Funding LLC collected approximately $378 million in FTA Charges and paid $361 million in principal, interest and other expenses.  As of December 31, 2004, approximately $871 million in principal amount of Notes remains outstanding, with scheduled maturities ranging from 2006 through 2007.  The specific interest rate and maturity of each class of Notes still outstanding are specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements. Transition Property    The California Public Utilities Code, or the PU Code, provides for the creation of Transition Property, which is the right to receive a specified amount from nonbypassable Fixed Transition Amount Charges, or FTA Charges, payable by residential and small commercial electric customers.  Transition Property is presented in the financial statements as Transition Property receivable.  The FTA Charges were established by a financing order dated September 3, 1997, or the Financing Order, issued by the California Public Utilities Commission, or the CPUC, together with the related Issuance Advice Letter.  Under the PU Code and the Financing Order, the owner of Transition Property (i.e., PG&E Funding LLC) is entitled to collect the FTA Charges until a sufficient amount has been received to:

- repay in full the Certificates;
- fund the Overcollateralization and Capital Subaccounts, or the Subaccounts, established under the Indenture; and
- pay all related costs and fees.

The Servicing Agreement requires Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as the Servicer of the Transition Property, to seek periodic adjustments to the FTA Charges through advice letters filed with the CPUC. The Financing Order and the PU Code require the CPUC to approve the periodic adjustments.  The adjustments are intended to increase the likelihood that actual FTA Charges collected are neither more nor less than the amount necessary to pay all of the aforementioned amounts.  Normally the FTA Charges are decreased each year as interest payments are made on a declining outstanding balance on the Notes.  The adjustments to the FTA Charges are based on:

- actual collections and updated assumptions by the Servicer as to future usage of electricity by specified customers;
- future expenses relating to the Transition Property, the Notes, and the Certificates; and
- the rate of delinquencies and write-offs.

The Servicer has filed and the CPUC has approved the following advice letters in 2002, 2003, and 2004:

- In December 2002, the Servicer filed a routine advice letter advising the CPUC of a decrease to the FTA Charges effective January 1, 2003.  The decrease was necessary due to the reduction in interest payments on the Notes, reflecting the declining principal balance of the Notes.
- In December 2003, the Servicer filed a routine advice letter advising the CPUC of a decrease to the FTA Charges effective January 1, 2004.  The decrease was necessary due to the reduction in interest payments on the Notes, reflecting the declining principal balance of the Notes and the achievement of the required level of funding in the Subaccounts.

- In December 2004, the Servicer filed a routine advice letter advising the CPUC of a decrease to the FTA Charges effective January 1, 2005.  The decrease was necessary due to the reduction in interest payments on the Notes, reflecting the declining principal balance of the Notes and the achievement of the required level of funding in the Subaccounts.

The Trust
     The Trust was organized in November 1997 solely for the purpose of purchasing the Notes and issuing the Certificates.  The Trust does not conduct any other material business activities.Item 2.   Properties.     PG&E Funding LLC has no material physical properties.  PG&E Funding LLC's primary asset is the Transition Property described in Item 1 (Business), above.

Part II

Item 5.   Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
     There is no established public trading market for PG&E Funding LLC's equity securities.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company owns all of PG&E Funding LLC's equity.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company purchased its membership interest in PG&E Funding LLC in July 1997 at a purchase price of $5,000 and has made capital contributions to PG&E Funding LLC totaling approximately $27,348,000 as of December 31, 2004.  The purchase was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.  PG&E Funding LLC has made no other sales of unregistered securities.Restrictions on Dividends     Under the Indenture, PG&E Funding LLC is prohibited from making any distributions to its member unless no default has occurred.  The Indenture further restricts such a distribution based on the book value of PG&E Funding LLC.  Under the Indenture, PG&E Funding LLC may make a distribution to its member only if its book value is equal to at least 0.5% of the original principal amount of all series of Notes that remain outstanding, after taking into account the member distribution.  During 2004, 2003 and 2002, PG&E Funding LLC did not make any distributions to its member.  PG&E Funding LLC may make distributions to its member from time to time in the future as permitted by the Indenture and approved by the Board of Directors.Certificate Holders     At February 24, 2005, the sole holder of record of the Certificates was Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC.  DTC holds securities for its participating organizations, which maintain security positions for their customers' accounts.  The Certificates are not traded on any established trading market although market prices are available from financial information systems such as Bloomberg.  Item 6.   Selected Financial Data.     Omitted pursuant to General Instruction I of Form 10-K.  Not applicable to the Trust.Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OverviewThe following analysis of PG&E Funding LLC's financial condition and results of operations is in an abbreviated format pursuant to General Instruction I of Form 10-K.  Such analysis should be read in conjunction with the attached financial statements.
     As discussed in Item 1 (Business) above, PG&E Funding LLC is a special purpose, single member limited liability company.  PG&E Funding LLC's sole member is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a provider of electricity and natural gas services in northern and central California.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company is a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation.  PG&E Funding LLC was organized in July 1997 for the limited purposes of (1) purchasing, holding, and servicing the Transition Property, (2) issuing notes secured primarily by the Transition Property, and (3) performing related activities.  PG&E Funding LLC has no employees and is restricted by its organizational documents from engaging in activities other than those described in Item 1 (Business).  As a result, income statement effects were limited primarily to income generated from the Transition Property receivable, interest expense on the Notes, Transition Property servicing fees, administrative expenses and incidental investment interest income.
     
     On January 4, 2001, Standard and Poor's Rating Services lowered the short-term credit rating of the Servicer to A-3.  On January 5, 2001, Moody's Investors Service Inc. lowered the short-term credit rating of the Servicer to P-3.  The Servicer currently has no short-term credit rating.  In accordance with section 6.11(b) of the Servicing Agreement, on January 8, 2001, the Servicer began to remit FTA Charges collected to the Trustee on a daily basis.  Previously, the Servicer remitted FTA Charges on a monthly basis.
     On April 6, 2001, the Servicer filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, or the Bankruptcy Court.  Although the Servicer's Chapter 11 proceedings resulted in a Servicer default under Section 7.01(d) of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer continued to perform all duties as Servicer, including remitting daily to the Trustee all the FTA Charges collected.  Remittances from the Servicer to the Trustee were not interrupted by the Servicer's Chapter 11 filing.  On April 12, 2004, the Servicer's plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code became effective, at which time the Servicer emerged from bankruptcy.  The implementation of the plan of reorganization did not affect PG&E Funding LLC's payments on the Notes.  
     In September 2004, the Servicer remitted to the Trustee an additional $16 million in FTA remittances to correct an under reporting of FTA collections for the period from March to July 2004, in compliance with Section 7.01(a) of the Servicing Agreement.  Additionally, in October 2004, the Servicer determined that there had been an over remittance to the Trustee during the period from March to August 2004 of approximately $4 million, and offset this amount against the FTA remittances to the Trustee, in compliance with Section 6.11(d) of the Servicing Agreement.Results of Operations     Income generated from the Transition Property receivable was approximately $78 million in 2004, $92 million in 2003, and $110 million in 2002.  The decreases in income in 2004 and 2003 reflect the declining Transition Property receivable balance.
     Interest income earned from other investments was approximately $2 million in 2004, $1 million in 2003, and $2 million in 2002.  PG&E Funding LLC earns interest income on the Restricted cash balance as described below. The increase in interest income in 2004 was mainly due to an increase in the average Restricted cash balance and a higher average interest rate on the Restricted cash balance.  The decrease in interest income in 2003 was mainly due to a lower average interest rate on the Restricted cash balance.  
     Interest expense was approximately $69 million in 2004, $88 million in 2003, and $106 million in 2002.  Interest expense includes (1) interest on the Notes, (2) amortization of the Notes' discount, and (3) amortization of issuance costs.  The decreases in interest expense in 2004 and 2003 were mainly due to the declining balance of the Notes.
     PG&E Funding LLC incurred servicing fees of approximately $2.6 million in 2004, $3.4 million in 2003, and $4.1 million in 2002.  Servicing fees are calculated as a percentage of the outstanding Note balance.  The decreases in servicing fees in 2004 and 2003 were due to the declining balance of the Notes.
     Administrative and general fees were approximately $168,000 in 2004, $234,000 in 2003, and $167,000 in 2002.  Administrative and general fees consist primarily of rent expenses, legal fees, and other administrative fees.  Liquidity and Financial Resources     PG&E Funding LLC expects the future collections of FTA Charges will be sufficient to make scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes.  Income earned on the Transition Property receivable is expected to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt issuance expenses and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees charged by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as Servicer and administrator, for servicing the Transition Property and providing administrative services to PG&E Funding LLC.  (These agreements are discussed in greater detail in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.)
Operating Activities:     Operating activities provided net cash of approximately $309 million in 2004, $301 million in 2003, and $315 million in 2002.  Cash provided by operating activities represents the excess of FTA Charges and earnings on FTA collections over cash payments for interest, servicing fees and administrative and general operating expenses.  The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was primarily a result of a higher amount of excess FTA charges collected over cash payments for interest, servicing fees and administrative and general operating expenses for the period due to higher sales than estimated when FTA rates were set for 2004, combined with decreasing payments for interest and servicing fees due to the declining balance on the Notes.The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2003 was mainly due to a decrease in FTA Charges collected in 2003 as discussed below.  
     Collections of FTA Charges were approximately $378 million in 2004, $390 million in 2003, and $423 million in 2002. The decrease in collections in 2004 and 2003 was due to a decrease in the FTA Charge rates beginning in January 1, 2004 and 2003.  
     Interest payments on the Notes were approximately $68 million in 2004, $86 million in 2003, and $105 million in 2002. Payments for servicing fees and other expenses were approximately $3 million in 2004, $4 million in 2003, and $4 million in 2002.  The decreases in payments made in 2004 and 2003 were mainly due to the declining balance of the Notes.  
Investing Activities:
     Investing activities used net cash of approximately $17 million in 2004 and $10 million in 2003 and $24 million in 2002.  The increase in net cash used by investing activities was primarily due to an increase in the average Restricted cash balance.  The increase in the average Restricted cash balance was due to a higher average interest rate on the Restricted cash balance and the use of less Restricted cash for principal and interest payments in 2004 as a result of an increase in cash provided by operating activities.  The decrease in net cash used by investing activities in 2003 was mainly due to the use of greater amounts of Restricted cash (reserve subaccounts) for principal and interest payments as a result of a decrease in the collection of FTA Charges during the year.  
Financing Activities:
     Financing activities used net cash of approximately $290 million in 2004, 2003, and 2002.  Cash used in financing activities in all three years was entirely related to principal payments on the Notes.FTA Charges and Restricted Cash     The Restricted cash balances were approximately $94 million in December 31, 2004, and $77 million at December 31, 2003.  The Restricted cash balances include collected FTA Charges and Subaccounts required by the Indenture.As previously discussed, the Servicer collects FTA Charges from residential and small commercial electric customers and remits the amounts collected to the Trustee on a daily basis.  The Trustee holds the collected FTA Charges in separate bank accounts.  The funds in these bank accounts are restricted and can only be used to pay principal and interest on the Notes and related expenses.  These funds are classified as "Restricted cash" in the Balance Sheets.  
     The Indenture requires PG&E Funding LLC to maintain certain minimum balances in the Subaccounts within Restricted cash.  The balances in the Subaccounts are to be used only in the event of a shortfall in collections of FTA Charges.  No default occurs under the Indenture if the minimum balances are not maintained.  However, the Servicer is required to take responsible actions to establish the rate of FTA Charges at a level that is projected to replenish the Subaccounts to their required balances within twelve months of the effective date of any change in FTA Charge rates.  The Subaccounts were funded to the levels required under the Indenture as of December 31, 2004.    Critical Accounting Policies     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Application of PG&E Funding LLC's significant accounting policies did not result in management needing to make material assumptions about matters that would be considered highly uncertain at the time of estimation.   PG&E Funding LLC's significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to the financial statements.Forward-Looking Statements     This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a forward-looking statement that future collections of FTA Charges are expected to be sufficient to cover scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes and related expenses.  This statement involves risks and uncertainties and is based on the beliefs and assumptions of management and on information currently available to management.  Actual results or outcomes could differ materially as a result of various factors, including:

- future electricity sales levels, which are affected by a variety of factors, including general economic and financial market conditions, weather, conservation efforts, and outages; and
- updated assumptions by the Servicer as to future expenses relating to the Transition Property, the Notes, and the rate of delinquencies and write-offs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members of PG&E Funding LLC:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PG&E Funding LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Gas & Electric Company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and changes in member's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PG&E Funding LLC as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PG&E Funding LLCNotes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The Annual Report on Form 10-K includes the financial statements and notes of PG&E Funding LLC, a special purpose, single member limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  PG&E Funding LLC's sole member is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a provider of electricity and natural gas services in northern and central California.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company is a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation. 
     PG&E Funding LLC was formed in July 1997 to effect the issuance of $2,901,000,000 in principal amount of PG&E Funding LLC notes, or the Notes.  The proceeds from the Notes were paid to Pacific Gas and Electric Company in return for Transition Property, as described below.  Pacific Gas and Electric Company used the proceeds to finance a ten percent electric rate reduction, which became effective on January 1, 1998.  The reduction is provided to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's residential and small commercial electric customers in connection with the electric industry restructuring mandated by California Assembly Bill 1890, as amended by California Senate Bill 477 (electric industry restructuring legislation).  
     PG&E Funding LLC was organized for the limited purpose of issuing the Notes and purchasing the Transition Property from Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  Transition Property is the right to be paid a specified amount (presented in the financial statements as "Transition Property receivable") from nonbypassable Fixed Transition Amount Charges, or FTA Charges, payable by residential and small commercial electric customers.  The California Public Utilities Commission, or the CPUC, authorized FTA Charges pursuant to the electric industry restructuring legislation.  PG&E Funding LLC issued the Notes in December 1997 to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Special Purpose Trust PG&E-1, a Delaware business trust, or the Trust.  The Trust then issued certificates corresponding to each class of Notes, or the Certificates, in a public offering.
     Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (formerly Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A.), or the Trustee, holds the collected FTA Charges in separate bank accounts.  The funds in these bank accounts are restricted and can be used only to pay principal and interest on the Notes and related expenses.  These funds are classified as "Restricted cash" in the Balance Sheets.  The Restricted cash balance was approximately $94 million at December 31, 2004, and $77 million at December 31, 2003.
     PG&E Funding LLC is restricted by its organizational documents from engaging in other activities.  As a result, items that impact PG&E Funding LLC's results of operations are limited to income generated from the Transition Property receivable, interest expense on the Notes, incidental investment interest income and servicing and administrative expenses, as further discussed below.  Income earned on the Transition Property receivable is expected to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt issuance costs and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees charged by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as Servicer and administrator, for servicing the Transition Property receivable and providing administrative services to PG&E Funding LLC.  PG&E Funding LLC's most significant expense is the interest expense on the Notes.  Accordingly, the interest rate earned on the Transition Property receivable balance is adjusted periodically as the weighted average interest rate on the Notes changes.

In addition, PG&E Funding LLC's organizational documents require it to operate in a manner such that it should not be included in the bankruptcy estate of Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  PG&E Funding LLC is legally separate from Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  The assets of PG&E Funding LLC are not available to creditors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E Corporation.  The Transition Property is legally not an asset of Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E Corporation.  PG&E Funding LLC is expected to dissolve after the scheduled maturity of the Notes on December 26, 2007.

PG&E Funding LLC entered into a servicing agreement, or the Servicing Agreement, with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  The Servicing Agreement requires Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as Servicer, to service the Transition Property on behalf of PG&E Funding LLC.  In addition, PG&E Funding LLC entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  This agreement requires Pacific Gas and Electric Company to perform administrative and operational duties for PG&E Funding LLC.

On April 6, 2001, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, or the Servicer, filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Northern District of California, or the Bankruptcy Court.  Although the Servicer's Chapter 11 proceedings resulted in a Servicer default under Section 7.01(d) of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer continued to perform all duties as Servicer, including remitting daily to the Trustee all FTA Charges collected.  Remittances from the Servicer to the Trustee were not interrupted by the Servicer's Chapter 11 filing.  On April 12, 2004, the Servicer's plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code became effective, at which time the Servicer emerged from bankruptcy.  The implementation of the plan of reorganization did not affect PG&E Funding LLC's payments on the Notes.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Invested cash and other investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  Restricted Cash
     Restricted cash balances include collected FTA Charges and Subaccounts required by the Indenture.  The Restricted cash balances were as follows at December 31:

|Capital Subaccount               |  |               
|                                 |  |               
|                                 |  |               
|Total Restricted cash            |  | $             
|                                 |  |               
|                                 |  |               
|                                 |  |               

Pursuant to an Indenture between PG&E Funding LLC and the Trustee, PG&E Funding LLC is required to maintain funds equal to approximately 0.5% of the original principal amount of the Notes, less $100,000, or approximately $14.5 million in the "Capital Subaccount" with the Trust.  These funds are to be held in reserve and used only in the event that collections of the FTA Charges provide insufficient funds to make scheduled payments on the Notes and to pay other expenses of PG&E Funding LLC.
     Additionally, the CPUC Financing Order provides that PG&E Funding LLC is to collect and maintain an additional reserve over the life of the Notes in the Overcollateralization Subaccount.  The amount to be maintained increases in equal increments of a minimum of $363,000 each quarter.  The amount required was approximately $10 million at the end of 2004 and approximately $9 million at the end of 2003.  The use of these funds is the same as the Capital Subaccount except that these funds are to be depleted before those in the Capital Subaccount are used.   Unamortized Debt Issuance Expenses and Discount on the Notes
     The expenses associated with the issuance of the Notes have been capitalized.  These expenses and the discount on the Notes are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of each respective class of Notes, which approximates the effective interest method.  The expenses are reflected in interest expense in the accompanying statements of income and changes in member's equity.  Income Taxes
     PG&E Funding LLC is a single-member limited liability company.  Accordingly, all federal income tax effects and all material State of California franchise tax effects of PG&E Funding LLC's activities accrue to Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Revenue Recognition
     PG&E Funding LLC has one primary source of income, which is the income from the Transition Property receivable.  Income earned on the Transition Property receivable is expected to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt issuance costs and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees charged by Pacific Gas and Electric Company for servicing the Transition Property receivable and providing administrative services to PG&E Funding LLC. As PG&E Funding LLC's most significant expense is the interest expense on the Notes, the interest rate earned on the Transition Property receivable balance is adjusted periodically as the weighted average interest rate on the Notes changes.  PG&E Funding LLC's other source of income is the interest earned on the Restricted cash accounts.

NOTE 4. LONG TERM DEBTIn December 1997, PG&E Funding LLC issued $2,901,000,000 of Notes to the Trust. The Trust, in turn, issued pass-through certificates, or the Certificates, known as "Rate Reduction Bonds" with an original principal amount equal to the original principal amount of the Notes.  PG&E Funding LLC used the proceeds from the Notes to purchase the Transition Property receivable from Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
     The Notes are secured solely by the Transition Property and other assets of PG&E Funding LLC.  Scheduled maturities and interest rates for the Notes at December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, are as follows:

|                                                                |                      |                         |         |               |   | Principal Amount (in thousands)

The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $911 million at December 31, 2004, and $1 billion at December 31, 2003.  The estimated fair values are based on market prices available from financial information systems such as Bloomberg.
     The Notes will be repaid with FTA Charges authorized by the CPUC.  The Servicer collects the FTA Charges from its residential and small commercial electric customers.  The Servicer deposits the FTA Charges collected in an account maintained by the Trustee of the Trust.  On January 4, 2001, Standard and Poor's Ratings Services lowered the short-term credit rating of the Servicer to A-3.  On January 5, 2001, Moody's Investors Service Inc. lowered the short-term credit rating of the Servicer to P-3.  In accordance with section 6.11(b) of the Servicing Agreement (as described in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements), on January 8, 2001, the Servicer began to remit FTA Charges collected to the Trustee on a daily basis.  Previously, the Servicer remitted FTA Charges on a monthly basis.
     Each quarter, the FTA Charges collected are used to make principal and interest payments on the Notes.  The debt service requirements include an overcollateralization amount that is retained for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.  Any amount not required for debt service will be returned to PG&E Funding LLC.  NOTE 5. SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSUnder the Transition Property Servicing Agreement, or the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer is required to (1) manage and administer the Transition Property of PG&E Funding LLC and (2) collect the FTA Charges from residential and small commercial electric customers on behalf of PG&E Funding LLC.  PG&E Funding LLC pays a servicing fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.  The Servicer is also entitled to receive as compensation any interest earnings on FTA Charge collections prior to remittance to the Trust and any late payment charges collected from Pacific Gas and Electric Company's customers.  PG&E Funding LLC incurred servicing fees of approximately $3 million in 2004, $3 million in 2003, and $4 million in 2002.

Under a Fee and Indemnity Agreement, PG&E Funding LLC is responsible for paying all fees and expenses incurred by the Trust.
