Shares of PG&E Corp. (PCG) rose 9.4% Tuesday morning.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that more than a dozen California mayors, including those of Oakland and Sacramento, were supporting a plan to turn PG&E into a cooperative owned by customers.

The Journal's story said a group of local government leaders were planning to deliver a letter to California's governor and the state's public utilities commission advocating that this proposal be considered before California approves a plan for the company's organization under bankruptcy.

Investors and insurance companies also have revised their settlement with PG&E that determines what will happen if PG&E becomes insolvent. The settlement is part of the company's restructuring plan.

Shares of PG&E have fallen 27% in the last month and 67% year to date.
