Item 1.  Changes in Control

Sempra Energy, on June 26, 1998, acquired all of the outstanding 
voting securities of Enova Corporation of which San Diego Gas & 
Electric Company is a subsidiary.

The acquisition was effected in connection with a business 
combination of Enova Corporation and Pacific Enterprises (the 
corporate parent of Southern California Gas Company) effected as a 
tax-free reorganization and accounted for as a pooling of interests 
for financial reporting purposes.  Sempra Energy was formed to serve 
as a holding company for the two corporations in connection with the 
combination and has not conducted any business activities other than 
those incidental to the combination.

Enova Corporation owns all of the 116,583,358 outstanding shares of 
San Diego Gas & Electric Company Common Stock.  The shares owned by 
Enova Corporation represent 100% of the outstanding voting shares of 
San Diego Gas & Electric Company.

The Board of Directors of Sempra Energy consists of sixteen members, 
eight of whom are and were at the time of business combination 
directors of Enova Corporation (including six directors of San Diego 
Gas & Electric Company) and eight of whom are and were at the time of 
the business combination directors of Pacific Enterprises (including 
seven of the eight directors of Southern California Gas Company).

Upon the completion of the business combination, the authorized 
number of directors of San Diego Gas & Electric Company was increased 
to thirteen and seven additional directors were elected, including 
Warren I. Mitchell (Chairman and President of Southern California Gas 
Company) who was elected Chairman of the Board.  Each of the other 
six additional directors (Hyla H. Bertea, Herbert L. Carter,  Wilford 
D. Godbold, Jr., Ignacio E. Lozano, Jr., Richard J. Stegemeier and 
Diana L. Walker) is also a director of Pacific Enterprises.  All of 
the directors of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (other than Mr. 
Mitchell) are also directors of Sempra Energy and none (other than 
Mr. Mitchell) is an officer or other employee of Sempra Energy or any 
of its subsidiaries.

It is contemplated that the authorized number of directors of San 
Diego Gas & Electric Company will be further increased to fifteen 
directors upon shareholder approval of a requisite bylaw amendment 
and that two additional directors of Sempra Energy (Robert H. 
Goldsmith, who is also a director of Enova Corporation, and William 
G. Ouchi, who is also a director of Pacific Enterprises) will be 
elected as directors of San Diego Gas & Electric Company.  Upon such 
election the Board of Directors of San Diego Gas & Electric Company 
would consist of fourteen of the sixteen directors of Sempra Energy 
(including all of the directors who are not officers or other 
employees of Sempra Energy or its subsidiaries) and Mr. Mitchell.
