(San Francisco, CA ) - Moody's Investors Service today lowered PG&E National Energy Group's (PG&E NEG) credit rating from Ba2 to B1.

The company said the downgrade does not trigger any incremental financial obligations at the Corporation or at PG&E NEG beyond those associated with previous rating agency downgrades.

PG&E Corporation previously has disclosed that it continues to explore options for PG&E NEG including sales of assets and businesses, debt restructuring, and reorganization of existing operations.

PG&E NEG is a wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E Corporation.
