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.
