company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended (the "Act"), hereby notifies the Securities and Exchange

electricity from a variety of sources.  In addition, London
Electricity has the following direct or indirect ownership
interests in electric generating facilities:  a 13.5% ownership

power plant located in East London, England; and a 50% ownership
