Investing in the senior notes involves risk. These risks are described under "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and
September 30, 2015, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. See "Where You
Can Find More Information" in the accompanying prospectus. Before making a decision to invest in the senior notes, you should carefully consider
these risks as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus contain forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. These statements
reflect management's judgment and opinions which are based on current estimates, expectations, and projections about future events and
assumptions regarding these events and management's knowledge of facts as of the date of this prospectus supplement.
These forward-looking statements relate to, among other matters, estimated losses, including penalties and fines, associated with various
investigations and proceedings; forecasts of pipeline-related expenses that we will not recover through rates; forecasts of capital expenditures;
estimates and assumptions used in critical accounting policies, including those relating to regulatory assets and liabilities, environmental
remediation, litigation, third-party claims, and other liabilities; and the level of future equity or debt issuances. These statements are also identified
by words such as "assume," "expect," "intend," "forecast," "plan," "project," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "anticipate," "may," "should,"
"would," "could," "potential" and similar expressions. We are not able to predict all the factors that may affect future results. Some of the factors
that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, or from historical results,
include, but are not limited to:

· the outcome and timing of the 2015 gas transmission and storage ("GT&S") rate case, including the amount of revenue disallowance
that may be imposed as a penalty for improper ex parte communications and how the authorized revenue requirements are reduced to

reflect the disallowance of costs associated with designated safety-related projects and programs as required by the penalty decision by
the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") which imposes penalties on us totaling $1.6 billion (the "Penalty Decision");

· the outcomes of the federal criminal prosecution of us, the CPUC's investigation of our natural gas distribution record-keeping
practices, the unresolved enforcement action matters of the Safety Enforcement Division of the CPUC, and the other investigations that

have been or may be commenced relating to our compliance with natural gas-related laws and regulations, and the amount of fines,
penalties, and remedial costs that we may incur in connection with such matters;

· the timing and outcome of the CPUC's investigation and the pending criminal investigations relating to communications between us and

the CPUC that may have violated the CPUC's rules regarding ex parte communications or are otherwise alleged to be improper, and
whether such matters negatively affect the final decisions to be issued in the 2015 GT&S rate case or other ratemaking proceedings;

· whether we are able to repair the harm to our reputation caused by the criminal prosecution of us, the state and federal investigations of

our natural gas incidents, improper communications between us and the CPUC and our ongoing work to remove encroachments from
transmission pipeline rights-of-way;

· the restrictions on communications between us and the CPUC that have been imposed by the CPUC that, along with continuing public

criticism of us and the CPUC, may make it more difficult for us to

sustain or repair a constructive working relationship with the CPUC and achieve balanced regulatory outcomes;

· the timing and outcome of ratemaking proceedings (such as the 2015 GT&S rate case, the 2017 general rate case and the transmission

owner rate cases) and other regulatory proceedings (such as the recently re-opened proceeding related to our 2006-2008 energy
efficiency programs and the proceeding to consider our proposal to develop an electric vehicle charging infrastructure);

· whether we can control our costs within the authorized levels of spending, the extent to which we incur unrecoverable costs that are

higher than the forecasts of such costs, and changes in cost forecasts or the scope and timing of planned work resulting from changes in
customer demand for electricity and natural gas or other reasons;

· the amount and timing of additional common stock and debt issuances by Corp, the proceeds of which are contributed as equity to

maintain our authorized capital structure as we incur charges and costs that we cannot recover through rates (including shareholder-
funded costs to complete designated safety projects and programs as ordered in the Penalty Decision) and fines;

· the outcome of the recently opened CPUC investigation into the Utility's safety culture, and future legislative or regulatory actions that

may be taken to require the Utility to restructure into separate entities, undertake some other corporate restructuring, or implement
corporate governance changes;

· the outcomes of future investigations or other enforcement proceedings that may be commenced relating to our compliance with laws,
rules, regulations, or orders applicable to our operations, including the construction, expansion or replacement of our electric and gas

facilities; inspection and maintenance practices, customer billing and privacy, and physical and cyber security; and whether the current
or potentially worsening state regulatory environment increases the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes;

· the impact of environmental laws, regulations, and orders; the ultimate amount of costs incurred to discharge our known and unknown
remediation obligations; the extent to which we are able to recover environmental costs in rates or from other sources; and the ultimate

amount of environmental costs we incur but do not recover, such as the remediation costs associated with our natural gas compressor
station site located near Hinkley, California;

· the impact of new legislation or Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") regulations, recommendations, policies, decisions, or orders
relating to the nuclear industry, including operations, seismic design, security, safety, relicensing, the storage of spent nuclear fuel,

decommissioning, cooling water intake, or other issues; and whether we decide to resume our pursuit to renew the two Diablo Canyon
operating licenses, and if so, whether the licenses are renewed;

· the impact of droughts or other weather-related conditions or events, wildfires, climate change, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, war,
or vandalism (including cyber-attacks), and other events, that can cause unplanned outages, reduce generating output, disrupt our

service to customers, or damage or disrupt the facilities, operations, or information technology and systems owned by us, our customers,
or third parties on which we rely; and subject us to third-party liability for property damage or personal injury, or result in the
imposition of civil, criminal, or regulatory penalties on us;

· the impact of environmental laws and regulations aimed at the reduction of greenhouse gases, and whether we are able to continue

recovering associated compliance costs, such as the cost of emission allowances and offsets under cap-and-trade regulations, and
whether we timely recover renewable energy procurement costs;

· the impact that reductions in customer demand for electricity and natural gas have on our ability to make and recover our investments

through rates and earn our authorized return on equity, and whether our business strategy to address the impact of growing distributed
and renewable generation resources and changing customer demands is successful;

billing, financial, and other systems, can continue to function accurately while meeting regulatory requirements; whether we are able to
protect our operating systems and networks from damage, disruption, or failure caused by cyber-attacks, computer viruses, or other

hazards; whether our security measures are sufficient to protect against unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of information contained
in such systems and networks; and whether we can continue to rely on third-party vendors and contractors that maintain and support

· the impact of changes in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, standards, rules, or policies, including those related to

regulatory accounting, and the impact of changes in their interpretation or application.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SENIOR NOTES
General
You should read the following information in conjunction with the statements under "Description of the Senior Notes" in the accompanying
prospectus.
As used in this section, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and not to any of our subsidiaries.
The 2025 notes are being offered in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 and will mature on June 15, 2025. The 2046 notes are
being offered in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000 and will mature on March 15, 2046.
We will issue the senior notes under an existing indenture, which was originally entered into on March 11, 2004 and amended and restated on
April 22, 2005, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A.), as trustee, as supplemented by supplemental indentures between us and the trustee. Please read the indenture because it, and not this
description, defines your rights as holders of the senior notes. We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a copy of the indenture
as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.
Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the 1939 Act, if a default occurs on the senior notes, The Bank of New York
Mellon Trust Company, N.A. may be required to resign as trustee under the indenture if it has a conflicting interest (as defined in the 1939 Act),
unless the default is cured, duly waived or otherwise eliminated within 90 days.

424B2
The 2025 notes form a part of the series of our 3.50% Senior Notes due June 15, 2025 and will have the same terms as the other notes of this
series other than their issue date and the public offering price at which the 2025 notes are sold by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. We first issued our 3.50% Senior Notes due June 15, 2025 on June 12, 2015. The 2025 notes offered by this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus will have the same CUSIP number as the other notes of the same series and will trade interchangeably with notes of
the same series immediately upon settlement. Upon the consummation of this offering, the aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Senior Notes
due June 15, 2025, including the 2025 notes offered hereby, will be $600,000,000.
For each series of senior notes, we may, without consent of the holders of senior notes, issue additional senior notes of that series under the
indenture, having the same terms in all respects to the senior notes (except for the public offering price and the issue date and, in some cases, the
first interest payment date) so that those additional notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the other outstanding senior notes of the
same series.
The 2025 notes offered hereby will bear interest from June 12, 2015 at 3.50% per annum, payable semiannually on each June 15 and
December 15, commencing on December 15, 2015, to holders of record on the 15th day prior to the interest payment date.
The 2046 notes will bear interest from November 5, 2015 at 4.25% per annum, payable semiannually on each March 15 and September 15,
commencing on March 15, 2016, to holders of record on the 15th day prior to the interest payment date.
We will issue the 2025 notes in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and the 2046 notes in
minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

S-6
Table of Contents
Each series of senior notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time as described below under "Optional Redemption
for Senior Notes ­ Optional Redemption for 2025 Notes" and "Optional Redemption for Senior Notes ­ Optional Redemption for 2046 Notes."
Interest on the senior notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any payment date falls on
a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day, but we will consider that payment as being made on the date
that the payment was due to you. In that event, no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after such payment date to
such next business day.
We will issue the senior notes in the form of one or more global securities, which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository
Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of DTC's nominee. Information regarding DTC's book-entry system is set forth below under
"Book-Entry System; Global Notes."
Ranking
The senior notes will be our direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all our other existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The senior notes will be effectively subordinated to all our secured debt. As of September 30, 2015, we
had approximately $14.0 billion of notes outstanding under the indenture for senior notes. The indenture contains no restrictions on the amount of
additional indebtedness that may be incurred by us.
As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any outstanding secured debt for borrowed money.
Optional Redemption for Senior Notes
Optional Redemption for 2025 Notes
At any time prior to March 15, 2025 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date), we may, at our option, redeem the 2025 notes
in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to the greater of:


· 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 notes to be redeemed; or

· as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on
the 2025 notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) calculated as if the

maturity date of the 2025 notes was March 15, 2025 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date), discounted to the
redemption date on a semiannual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

General Senior Note Optional Redemption Terms
The redemption price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
We will mail notice of any redemption at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each registered holder of the
senior notes to be redeemed.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the senior notes or
portions of the senior notes called for redemption.
If we redeem only some of the senior notes, DTC's practice is to choose by lot the amount to be redeemed from the senior notes held by each
of its participating institutions. DTC will give notice to these participants, and these participants will give notice to any "street name" holders of
any indirect interests in the senior notes to be redeemed according to arrangements among them. These notices may be subject to statutory or
regulatory requirements. We will not be responsible for giving notice of a redemption of the senior notes to be redeemed to anyone other than the
registered holders of the senior notes to be redeemed, which is currently DTC. If senior notes to be redeemed are no longer held through DTC and
fewer than all the senior notes are to be redeemed, selection of senior notes for redemption will be made by the trustee in any manner the trustee
deems fair and appropriate.
Subject to the foregoing and to applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities laws), we or our affiliates may,
at any time and from time to time, purchase outstanding senior notes by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.
No Sinking Fund
There is no provision for a sinking fund for either the 2025 notes or the 2046 notes.

Senior Notes--Restrictions on Liens and Sale and Leaseback Transactions" in the accompanying prospectus) and other covenants contained in the
indenture in greater detail and should be read prior to investing.
Book-Entry System; Global Notes
The senior notes of each series will initially be issued in the form of one or more global notes. Each series of the senior notes will be issued
as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered security certificate will be issued for each of the 2025 notes and the 2046 notes in the
aggregate principal amount of such series, and will be deposited with DTC or the trustee on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of DTC or its
nominee. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of either the 2025 notes or the 2046 notes exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued
with respect to each $500 million of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of
senior notes of such series. Investors may hold their beneficial interests in a global note directly through DTC or indirectly through organizations
which are participants in the DTC system.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following summary describes certain United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the
senior notes as of the date hereof. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as final, temporary and
proposed Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial decisions. Legislative, judicial and administrative changes may occur, possibly with
retroactive effect, that could affect the accuracy of the statements described herein. This summary generally is addressed only to original
purchasers of the senior notes that purchase the senior notes at the initial offering price, deals only with senior notes held as capital assets and does
not purport to address all United States federal income tax matters that may be relevant to investors in special tax situations, such as insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to mark to market,
holders of senior notes that are held as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle or conversion transaction, certain former citizens or residents of the
United States, or United States holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the United States dollar. Persons considering the
purchase of the senior notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of United States federal income tax laws, as
well as the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdictions, to their particular situations.
If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of a senior
note, the treatment of such partnership, or a partner in the partnership, will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of
the partnership. A beneficial owner of a senior note that is a partnership, and partners in such a partnership, should consult their tax advisors about
the United States federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the senior notes.
We intend to treat the 2025 notes as being issued in a "qualified reopening" for United States federal income tax purposes. Consequently, we
intend to treat the 2025 notes as part of the same issue for United States federal income tax purposes as the 3.50% Senior Notes due June 15, 2025.
The aggregate price paid for the 2025 notes will include pre-issuance accrued interest from June 12, 2015. Such pre-issuance accrued interest will
be included in the first interest payment that will be made on December 15, 2015 to the holders of the 2025 notes. We will exclude the pre-
issuance accrued interest in determining the issue price of the 2025 notes and, in accordance with this treatment, holders of the 2025 notes will be
required to treat a corresponding portion of the interest payable on the first interest payment date as a non-taxable return of the excluded pre-
issuance accrued interest, rather than as an amount payable on the 2025 notes.
United States Holders
This section describes the tax consequences to a United States holder. A "United States holder" is a beneficial owner of a senior note that is
(i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes) created or organized in the United States or any state (including the District of Columbia), (iii) an estate whose income is subject to
United States federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the senior note, or (iv) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary
supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust (or
certain trusts that have made a valid election to be treated as a United States person).
If you are not a United States holder, this section does not apply to you. See "Non-United States Holders" below.
Payment of Interest
The senior notes will not be issued with more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for United States federal income tax
purposes. Interest on a senior note will therefore be taxable to a United States holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is
received, in accordance with the United States holder's method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.
