File No. 70-8631:

________________



    By order dated April 30, 1996, HCAR No. 26512, the SEC permitted the

application-declaration of Consolidated and Energy Services to become

effective, thereby authorizing Energy Services to organize and acquire a new

special purpose subsidiary, CNG Energy Arbitrage Corporation ("CNG Energy

Arbitrage").  CNG Energy Arbitrage would, in turn, acquire a one-third general

partnership interest in Energy Alliance Partnership ("Energy Alliance"), a to-

be-formed Delaware partnership.  The other general partners were to be Noverco

Energy Services (U.S.)Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Noverco, Inc., and

H.Q. Energy Services (U.S.)Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hydro-Quebec.



    Energy Alliance was to engage in the business of marketing electricity, gas

and other fuels, initially in the northeastern and middle Atlantic United

States.  Mirror image parent-subsidiary debt and/or equity financing of up to

$10 million by Consolidated, Energy Services and CNG Arbitrage was also

authorized.



    To date neither CNG Arbitrage nor Energy Alliance has been formed due to

the inability to obtain an order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

permitting Energy Alliance to be a wholesale marketer of electricity;

consequently there are no business or financing transactions to be reported

under the above file number.

wholesale generator under Section 32 of the Act and is engaged in the purchase

and sale of electricity at wholesale.



        There has been no transaction activity initiated pursuant to the above-

referenced Order.



File No. 70-8883:

_________________

interest, a majority interest equity or debt position, or a minority equity or

debt position.

1997 pursuant to the order to engage in the business of selling natural gas and

    There has been no activity reportable by CNG Retail to the Federal Energy
