Item 5.	Other Events


Schedule Extension in Restructuring Case

	Reference is made to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company's 
(the Company's) Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 for 
a discussion of the Company's April 1, 1997 filing with the 
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (the PUC) pursuant to 
Pennsylvania's Electricity Generation Customer Choice and 
Competition Act.  On September 12, 1997, the PUC ordered a 30-day 
extension of the decision-making schedule in this proceeding.  On 
October 23, 1997, the PUC ordered a further schedule extension of 
an additional 45 days.  As a result, the PUC's final order in the 
case is now expected by late-March 1998.  The Company and other 
parties to the proceeding had agreed to the additional extension 
prior to the PUC action, to allow time for continued settlement 
discussions.
