   ADOPTION OF PREDECESSOR ISSUER'S REGISTRATION STATEMENT 
 
 
     Enova Corporation ("Registrant" - formerly known as 
SDO Parent Co., Inc.) is the successor issuer to the 
Common Stock, without par value, of San Diego Gas & 
Electric Company ("SDG&E").  On January 1, 1996, the 
Registrant became the parent company of SDG&E and the 
issued and outstanding shares of SDG&E Common Stock were 
exchanged, on a share-for-share basis, for the Common 
Stock, without par value, of the Registrant.  This Post-
Effective Amendment No. 1 to SDG&E's Registration 
Statement on Form S-8 (No. 33-7108) is filed pursuant to 
Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended 
(the "Securities Act").  The Registrant expressly adopts 
such Registration Statement as its own for all purposes of 
the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). 
 
 
 
                        PART I 
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS 
 
 
*Item 1.  PLAN INFORMATION. 
 
*Item 2.  REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND EMPLOYEE PLAN ANNUAL 
          INFORMATION. 
 
_______________________ 
*    Information required by Part I to be contained in the 
Section 10(a) prospectus is omitted from this Registration 
Statement in accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities 
Act and the Note to Part I of Form S-8. 
 
 
                              PART II 
 
      INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT 
 
 
 
Item 3.  Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference. 
 
     The following documents, filed by the Registrant or 
SDG&E with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
"SEC") are incorporated by reference in this Registration 
Statement: 
 
     (a)  SDG&E's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1994; 
 
     (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 
1994; and 
 
     (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common 
Stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), contained 
in the Registrant's registration statement for the Common 
Stock filed under the Exchange Act (File No. 1-11439) and 
declared effective on December 27, 1995, including any 
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such 
description. 
 
     In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the 
Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) 
of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-
effective amendment which indicates that all securities 
offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities 
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated 
by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a 
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. 
 
Item 4.  Description of Securities.   
 
     Not applicable. 

                                 1

 
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. 
 
     Not applicable. 
 
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers. 
 
     Section 317 of the Corporations Code of the State of 
California permits a corporation to provide 
indemnification to its directors and officers under 
certain circumstances.  The Restated Articles of 
Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Registrant eliminate 
the liability of directors for monetary damages to the 
fullest extent permissible under California law and 
provide that indemnification for liability for monetary 
damages incurred by directors, officers and other agents 
of the Registrant shall be allowed, subject to certain 
limitations, in excess of the indemnification otherwise 
permissible under California law.  The Registrant 
maintains liability insurance, and the Registrant is also 
insured against loss for which it may be required or 
permitted by law to indemnify its directors and officers 
for their related acts. 
 
Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed. 
 
     Not applicable. 
 
Item 8.  Exhibits. 
 
     See Index to Exhibits. 
 
Item 9.  Undertakings. 
 
     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: 
 
           (1)  To file, during any period in which offers 
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to 
this Registration Statement: 
 
                 (i)  To include any prospectus required 
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; 
 
                 (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any 
facts or events arising after the effective date of this 
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective 
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the 
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the 
information set forth in this Registration Statement; 
 
                 (iii)  To include any material 
information with respect to the plan of distribution not 
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any 
material change to such information in this Registration 
Statement; 

                                2
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and 
(a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required 
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those 
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the 
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 
Registration Statement. 
 
           (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any 
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new 
registration statement relating to the securities offered 
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering 
thereof. 
 
           (3)  To remove from registration by means of a 
post-effective amendment any of the securities being 
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the 
offering. 
 
     (b)  The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for 
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report 
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange 
Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration 
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration 
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and 
the offering of such securities at that time shall be 
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 
 
     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to 
directors, officers and controlling persons of the 
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or 
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the 
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public 
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, 
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for 
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the 
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by 
a director, officer or controlling person of the 
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit 
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or 
controlling person in connection with the securities being 
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of 
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling 
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction 
the question whether such indemnification by it is against 
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed 
by the final adjudication of such issue.
