     DQE Energy Services, Inc., hereby files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, pursuant to Rule 2, its statement claiming exemption as a holding
company from the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(the "Act").  In support of such claims for exemption the following information
is submitted.

ITEM 1.  Name, State of organization, location and nature of business of
          claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other than any exempt wholesale

          directly or indirectly holds an interest.

     DQE Energy Services, Inc.  ("DES") is a public utility holding company
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

     DES has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, DQE Power International, Inc.

lease, operate and maintain inside-the-fence energy facilities for a third
party's manufacturing facilities.

     All of DES's subsidiaries are organized under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, with the exception of: (i) Power International and ElectroGen,
each of which is organized under the laws of Delaware; (ii) EGI-DQE, which is
organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands; and Maveli, which is organized
under the laws of Mauritius.


ITEM 2.  Properties

     DES and its subsidiaries own no properties used for the generation,
transmission and distribution of electric energy for sale, or for the
production, transmission, and distribution of natural or manufactured gas.

     None of DES or its subsidiaries has sold, distributed or purchased (except
for its own use) any kwh of electric energy during the year ended December 31,
1996, or the three months ended March 31, 1997.


ITEM 4.  Information for the reporting period with respect to claimant and each
          interest it holds directly or indirectly in an EWG or a foreign
