Item 5.  Other Events

On December 6, 1995 the California Public Utilities Commission approved 
SDG&E's application to form a holding company.  The new parent company's name 
will be Enova Corporation and it will become the holding company on January 1, 
1996.  At the beginning of trading on January 2, 1996 the new stock ticker 
symbol will be ENA.  After the necessary stock transfers are made, SDG&E will 
become a subsidiary of Enova, as will the five companies that currently are 
subsidiaries of SDG&E: Enova Financial, Enova Energy Management, Enova 
Technologies, Califia and Pacific Diversified Capital. The common stock of 
SDG&E will be converted share-for-share into the common stock of Enova.  All 
of SDG&E's debt  securities and outstanding shares of preferred and preference 
stock will  remain with SDG&E and will be unaffected.

Effective January 1, 1996 Thomas A. Page will become chairman of Enova.  He 
will retain his title as SDG&E chairman, but will step down as SDG&E's 
president and chief executive officer. He will retire from both chairman 
positions at the end of 1997, consistent with company policy.  Stephen L. 
Baum, currently SDG&E executive vice president, will become president and 
chief executive officer of Enova.  He will also become a director of both 
Enova and SDG&E.  SDG&E Executive Vice President Donald E. Felsinger will 
become president and chief executive officer and a director of SDG&E. Also 
effective January 1, 1996 the members of SDG&E's current Board of Directors 
will also serve as directors of Enova.

Several SDG&E officers will hold shared management positions with Enova and 
SDG&E.  These include David R. Kuzma, SDG&E senior vice president, chief 
financial officer and treasurer; Frank H. Ault, SDG&E vice president and 
controller; and Margot A. Kyd, SDG&E vice president of human resources.  The 
position of general counsel, currently unfilled, will also become a shared 
officer position.  These officers will retain their current titles at SDG&E 
and assume similar titles at Enova.

SDG&E ANNOUNCES ENOVA CORPORATION PARENT COMPANY,

 NEW MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE


	SAN DIEGO, CA, December 6, 1995 -- San Diego Gas and Electric officials 
announced today the formation of Enova Corporation, a holding company for the 
utility and its unregulated subsidiaries, and a new executive management 
structure for both companies.  Company officials said the changes will provide 
the flexibility necessary to take advantage of increasing competitive 
opportunities in a deregulated energy market.  

The parent company formation was approved today by the California 
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).  Enova Corporation will oversee the 
operations of SDG&E, Enova Energy Management, Enova Financial (formerly 
Enova), Califia and Pacific Diversified Capital, as well as Enova 
Technologies, a new product and services development company. 

Enova Corporation (stock ticker symbol ENA) and the management changes 
for both companies will become effective January 1, 1996.  

Under the new management structure, Tom Page will retain his title as 
SDG&E chairman, and will become the chairman of Enova Corporation.  He will 
step down as SDG&E's president and chief executive officer, and will retire 
from both chairman positions at the end of 1997, consistent with company 
policy.	"The formation of a parent company, and the advancement of a highly 
skilled and seasoned management team, were planned to coincide with electric 
utility restructuring," said Page.  "The timing has provided us with a unique 
opportunity."

Stephen Baum, currently SDG&E executive vice president, will become  
president and chief executive officer of Enova Corporation.  He will also 
become a director of both Enova and SDG&E.

	SDG&E Executive Vice President Donald Felsinger will become president 
and chief executive officer of the utility, and will also become a director of 
SDG&E.

"	The name Enova -- energy innovation -- represents the business 
philosophy of our company," said Page.  "The Enova Corporation parent company 
structure will give us the corporate flexibility to remain leaders in the 
competitive energy marketplace."

SDG&E will continue as the principal subsidiary of Enova Corporation.  
Ultimately, the five unregulated non-utility subsidiaries will be:
Enova Energy Management - energy management
Enova Financial (formerly Enova) - affordable housing project investments
Enova Technologies - energy products and services development
Califia - equipment leasing 
Pacific Diversified Capital - commercial real estate

"Separating our businesses under Enova will give us the opportunity to 
extend our successful track record into new and expanded energy businesses," 
said Baum.

The company's utility operations, including the SDG&E name, will remain 
unchanged under the Enova structure.  

"With the coming deregulation of the industry, we will have to work 
harder to ensure that we keep our leading competitive position in the state, 
with the lowest electric and natural gas rates and record-high customer 
satisfaction ratings," said Felsinger.

Several SDG&E officers will hold shared management positions with Enova 
Corporation and SDG&E.  These include David R. Kuzma, SDG&E senior 
vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer; Frank H. Ault, SDG&E 
vice president and controller;  and Margot A. Kyd, SDG&E vice president of 
human resources.  The position of SDG&E general counsel, currently unfilled, 
will also become a shared officer position.  These officers will retain their 
current titles at both SDG&E and Enova.
