| Note: For      the purpose of computing Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s ratios of      earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends,      “earnings” represent net income adjusted for the income or loss from      equity investees of less than 100% owned affiliates, equity in      undistributed income or losses of less than 50% owned affiliates, income      taxes and fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest). “Fixed      charges” include interest on long-term debt and short-term borrowings      (including a representative portion of rental expense), amortization of      bond premium, discount and expense, interest on capital leases, AFUDC      debt, and earnings required to cover the preferred stock dividend      requirements and preferred security distribution requirements of      majority-owned trust. “Preferred stock dividends” represent tax deductible      dividends and pre-tax earnings that are required to pay the dividends on      outstanding preferred securities. Fixed charges exclude interest on      tax liabilities. |
