                      DEREGISTRATION 
 
 
 
     The Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement 
on Form S-4 (No. 33-64743 - the "Registration Statement") to 
reduce the amount of securities registered thereunder 
pursuant to an undertaking contained in the Registration 
Statement.  Effective as of January 1, 1996 (at 12:01 a.m. 
PST), a subsidiary of the Registrant, San Diego Merger 
Company, was merged (the "Merger") with and into San Diego 
Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E).  Shares of the Registrant's 
Common Stock were issued to the former holders of SDG&E 
Common Stock as a result of the Merger (as described in the 
Registration Statement); however, not all shares of the 
Registrant's Common Stock which were registered pursuant to 
the Registration Statement were issued in the Merger.  The 
amount of securities registered pursuant to the Registration 
Statement is hereby reduced by 57,642 shares, which equals 
the number of securities registered in the Registration 
Statement (100,000) and a related Registration Statement on 
Form S-4 (No. 33-57007 - which registered 116,541,000 
shares) less the number of shares issued pursuant to the 
Merger (116,583,358). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                         SIGNATURE 
 
 
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 
1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective 
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed 
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, 
in the City of San Diego, State of California, on February 
13, 1996.
