          Loans payable at June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 included the
          Company's  pro-rata  share of the debt of the  Del  Ranch,  L.P.,
          Elmore,  L.P., and Leathers, L.P. partnerships.  The  partnership
          loans  are  non-recourse to Magma Power Company and subsidiaries,
          however, it is collateralized by substantially all of the  assets
          of these partnerships.
<PAGE> 7          
          On  March  19, 1993, Magma entered into a $140 million  unsecured
          one-year  term  loan ("Bridge Loan") with a group  of  commercial
          banks.   Proceeds  from  the  loan  were  used  to  finance   the
          acquisition  of the Salton Sea Plants from Unocal.   On  February
          28,   1994,  the  Company  replaced  the  Bridge  Loan   with   a
          $130,000,000   non-recourse   project   level   loan   which   is
          collateralized  by  substantially all of  the  assets  and  power
          purchase  contracts of the newly acquired Salton Sea  Plants.   A
          secured  credit  agreement with a group of  international  banks,
          with  Credit Suisse as the agent bank, provides for direct  loans
          at   LIBOR  plus  1.25%.   Restrictions  in  the  secured  credit
          agreement  place limits on distribution of cash from  the  Salton
          Sea Plants to the Company.

Note 3.   Deferred Income Taxes:

          Deferred  income taxes as of June 30, 1994 and December 31,  1993
          represent estimated income taxes payable in the future  years  as
          determined  in  accordance with SFAS 109 "Accounting  for  Income
          Taxes."

Note 4.   Net Income per Common Share:

          The calculation of primary earnings per common share is based  on
          the  weighted  average number of outstanding common  shares.   In
          computing primary earnings per common share, adjustment has  been
          made for common shares issuable for shares under option.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operations  and  development  activities have been  financed  with  working
capital, the sale of Company Common Stock for cash and services, and  loans
from commercial banks. The Company has geothermal projects in the development
stage, both domestic and  international,  which  it intends to finance  with
a combination of Company  supplied equity and non-recourse project debt. 
These  development stage  projects  will  require significant equity 
contributions  from  the Company  during the next five years.  The Company
believes that its cash reserves, augmented by cash flow from its current
operations, and unsecured corporate loans will be sufficient to fund these
equity contributions.

On  February 28, 1994 the Company repaid a $140,000,000 Bridge Loan used in
acquiring assets from Unocal, utilizing both Company cash and the  proceeds
from  a non-recourse project level six-year term loan of $130,000,000  (the
"Term  Loan") collateralized by substantially all of the assets  and  power
purchase contracts of the three Salton Sea Plants acquired from Unocal.  In
addition, a $5,000,000 working capital line of credit has been provided  to
the subsidiaries owning the plants by two of the banks participating in the
Term  Loan. No loans against the working capital line of credit  have  been
made.

Cash  and  marketable  securities at June 30, 1994 totaled  $64,153,000  of
which  $39,084,000 was available for general corporate use.  The  remainder
of  $25,069,000 is Magma's share of the cash and marketable  securities  of
the  four separate partnerships which are jointly owned by the Company  and
Mission  Energy  Company (the "Magma Partnerships") which own  the  Vulcan,
Hoch,  Elmore  and  Leathers  geothermal  power  plants  (the  "Partnership
Plants"),  and the cash and marketable securities of the Company's  "Salton
Sea  Partnerships"  which  own the three Salton Sea  plants  acquired  from
Unocal  (the  "Salton Sea Plants").  Certain portions of  these  funds  are
earmarked  for  the working capital needs of the plants.  In addition,  the
secured credit agreements for three of the Magma Partnerships and the  Term
Loan for the Salton Sea Plants place limits on distributions of cash.
Non-current investments at June 30, 1994, totaled $44,892,000 consisting of
$31,468,000 in marketable securities with maturities greater than one  year
and $13,424,000 of other investments, which are not liquid.

At June 30, 1994, long-term obligations (including amounts currently due)
were $209,548,000, a $16,460,000 decrease over year end 1993.  The decrease
reflects the $10,000,000 debt reduction that occurred on February 28,  1994
when  the $140,000,000 Bridge Loan was replaced with the Term Loan and  the
principal  reduction  of  $5,158,00 in  the  Company's  pro-rata  share  of
partnership debt. Magma Partnership debt and the Term Loan are non-recourse
to  Magma  Power Company and its subsidiaries.  The ratio of debt to  debt
plus-equity  at  June  30,  1994 (inclusive of non-recourse  debt)  was  37
percent  compared to 40 percent at December 31, 1993.  The Company  has  an
unused  and available line of credit with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company  of
$25,000,000 at June 30, 1994.
<PAGE> 9
Six  of  the  seven  geothermal power plants operated by the  Company  sell
electricity  to  Southern California Edison ("SCE") under Interim  Standard
Offer  No.4 "ISO4" long-term power purchase contracts.  Each ISO4  contract
provides  for  both  capacity payments and energy payments.   The  capacity
payments remain constant throughout the life of each ISO4 contract.  During
the  first 10 years of operation (the "Initial Term"), the energy  payments
are  fixed  pursuant  to the terms of the ISO4 contract.   Thereafter,  the
energy  payments are SCE's then-current published avoided cost  of  energy.
In  1994 the time period weighted average price for energy  for  the  six
plants combined is approximately 10.6 cents per kWh.  For  June  1994, 
SCE's avoided cost of energy was 2.4 cents per kWh. Estimates of SCE's
future avoided cost of energy  vary  substantially,  but  it  is 
expected to remain substantially  below  such  contract energy  prices. 
Thus, the revenues generated by each of the Company's six plants operating
under ISO4 contracts are likely to decline significantly after their
respective initial terms expire. Such decline could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operation.  The initial terms expire in 
1996 as to 34 megawatts of nameplate generation, in 1999 for 126 megawatts
of nameplate generation and in 2000 for the remaining 58 megawatts of 
nameplate generation under ISO4 contracts.

The   seventh  and  smallest  plant  (approximately  10  megawatts)   sells
electricity  to  SCE  under  a  negotiated  power  purchase  contract  (the
"Negotiated  Contract").  The energy payment under the Negotiated  Contract
was  4.8 cents per kWh in the second quarter of 1994.  The capacity payment
was approximately 1.7 cents per kWh in the second quarter of 1994.  Both the 
energy and capacity payments escalate quarterly based on a basket of indices
for the 30-year term of the Negotiated Contract.

The  Company's strategy is to mitigate the adverse impact of  future  lower
energy  pricing  through  expansion  of  its  core  business  of  producing
electricity  with  geothermal resources, both through  development  of  new
projects  in  the United States and abroad, through strategic  acquisitions
and  cost  reduction strategies.  However, competition for  power  purchase
contracts is intense and any contracts the Company is able to secure in the
future,  whether in the United States or abroad, are likely to be on  terms
and conditions that are less favorable than those provided in the Company's
current ISO4 contracts.

Other  than as described above, the Company is not aware of any  trends  or
demands,  events  or  uncertainties  that  would  result  in  or  that  are
reasonably  likely  to  result  in,  a material  change  in  the  Company's
liquidity or capital resources.

Results of Operations

           Second Quarter 1994 Compared to Second Quarter 1993.

Revenues

Total  revenues for the second quarter of 1994 were up $1,794,000 or 4%  to
$46,802,000 as compared to $45,008,000 for the same period last year.  This
increase was made up primarily of an increase in the sales of electricity.

     Sales of Electricity
     
Revenues  from the sale of electricity increased $1,570,000 in  the  second
quarter  of 1994 to $39,902,000.   The revenue gain was due to an  increase
in  "energy"  payments reflecting a 7.9% increase in  the  price  paid  for
"energy"  under four of the Company's six ISO4 contracts and a 4%  increase
in  the  number of kilowatts produced. The "capacity" payments received  by
all plants were essentially unchanged during the period.
During  the  second quarter of 1994 and 1993, the combined  "contract"  and
"nameplate" capacity factors of the Magma Partnership Plants are  shown  in
the table below:

During  the second quarter of 1994, the "contract" and "nameplate" capacity
factors  of the three Salton Sea Plants combined are as shown in the  table
below:

(1) Does not exclude scheduled maintenance hours.  Calculation is based  on
    a 91-day (2,184 hours) second quarter.

     Interest and Other Income

Interest  and other income increased $648,000, an 88% increase compared  to
interest  and other income for the same period of the prior year, primarily
due to higher investment earnings, reflecting the significantly higher cash
balances  available for investment.  Cash available for  investment  during
the  same  period  of  the prior year was low due to the  use  of  cash  in
connection with the acquisition of the Salton Sea Plants from Unocal.
<PAGE> 11
Costs and Expenses

In  the  second quarter of 1994, total costs and expenses were  $25,683,000
compared  to costs and expenses for the same period in 1993 of $25,660,000.
While total costs and expenses were virtually the same in both periods, the
component  of  total costs were different.  A decrease in  plant  operating
costs  of  $805,000  was  offset by increases of $478,000  in  general  and
administrative expense and  $414,000 in interest expense.

The  decrease  in  plant operating costs primarily reflects  the  increased
efficiencies  resulting  from  the integration  of  the  Magma  and  Unocal
operations.

The  $478,000  increase in general and administrative  costs  reflects  the
Company's continued devotion of more of its resources towards expansion  of
business development activities by increasing staff and support services to
facilitate the planned growth of the Company.

The  $414,000  increase in interest expense reflects the effect  of  higher
borrowing   costs   due  to  higher  market  interest  rates.    Currently,
approximately 83% of the company's consolidated debt is floating rate debt.

Net Income

Net  income was 8% higher at $14,639,000 in the second quarter of  1994  as
compared to $13,539,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
increase  in  net  income  reflects the  higher ISO4  electricity  revenues
received  by  the  Partnership Plants, increased interest income,  and  the
decrease  in plant operating costs which was offset, in part, by  increases
in general and administrative expense and interest expense.


                Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 Compared to
                      Six Months Ended June 30, 1993
                                     
Revenues

Total revenues for the first six months of 1994 were up $19,755,000 or  29%
to  $87,221,000 as compared to $67,466,000 for the same period of the prior
year.  This increase was made up of an increase in the sales of electricity
and  an increase in royalties received offset by a decrease in interest and
other income.
<PAGE> 12
     Sales of Electricity

Revenues  from the sale of electricity increased $19,849,000 in  the  first
six  months  of 1994 to $73,494,000 primarily due to the inclusion  of  the
revenues  of  the Salton Sea Plants for the full six months of  1994.   The
Salton  Sea Plants contributed $15,899,000 of the revenue gain. The balance
of  the  revenue  gain of $3,950,000 was produced by the  four  Partnership
Plants  and consisted of a 7% increase in the megawatt hours delivered  and
an increase in the price paid for "energy" under their ISO4s with SEC.  The
annual time period weighted average price of "energy" under the Partnership
Plants  ISO4s increased 7.9% in 1994 to 10.9 cents per kWh. The  "capacity"
payments received by all plants were essentially unchanged during the first
half of 1994 compared to 1993.

The    combined  "contract"  and  "nameplate"  capacity  factors   of   the
Partnership Plants are shown in the table below:

    a 181-day (4,344 hours) first half in 1994 and a nine month period (6600
    hours) ended December 31, 1993.

     Interest and Other Income

Interest  and other income decreased $263,000, a 10% decrease  compared  to
interest  income  for the same period of the prior year, primarily  due  to
lower  investment earnings, reflecting the lower short-term  interest  rate
environment.
<PAGE> 13
Costs and Expenses

In  the  first  six  months  of 1994, total costs  and  expenses  increased
$12,153,000, a 30% increase, compared to costs for the same period in 1993.
This  increase  was  composed primarily of a $6,267,000 increase  in  plant
operating  costs,  a  $2,787,000  increase in  depreciation,  a  $1,313,000
increase  in general and administrative expense, and a $1,804,000  increase
in interest expense. The increase in plant operating costs and depreciation
primarily  reflects  the cost of operating the Salton Sea  Plants  for  six
months in 1994 compared to three months in 1993.

The  $1,313,000 increase in general and administrative costs  reflects  the
Company's continued devotion of more of its resources towards expansion  of
business development activities by increasing staff and support services to
facilitate the planned growth at the Company.

The  $1,804,000 increase in interest expense over the corresponding  period
of   1994  reflects  the  increased  cost  of  borrowings  to  finance  the
acquisition  of  the Salton Sea Plants.  Interest expense  related  to  the
Partnership  Plants  declined  as a result of lower  partnership  weighted
average borrowings during the first six months of 1994 as compared  to  the
same period of the prior year .

Provision for Income Taxes

The  Company's effective tax rate in the first six months of 1994 increased
to  31 percent from the 1993 rate of 30 percent due to higher profitability
in  1994, as a result of the acquired Salton Sea Plants.  In addition,  the
tax  effect  of permanent differences, which include depletion  deductions,
are diluted relative to higher operating profits.

Net Income

Net  income was 26% higher at $23,994,000 for the first six months of  1994
as  compared to $19,016,000 in the corresponding period of the prior  year.
The  increase  in net income reflects the addition of the earnings  of  the
Salton  Sea Plants for six months in 1994 compared to three months in  1993
as well as the higher ISO4 electricity revenues received by the Partnership
Plants.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                                     
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Richard Antunez v. Magma Power Company, et al. On December 11, 1992, a  law
suit was filed against Magma, Dow Engineering Company ("DEC"), Gulf States,
Inc.  and  Coastal  Conveyor  Systems, Inc. by Richard  Antunez,  a  former
employee of Red Hill Geothermal, Inc. (now Magma Operating Company) who was
injured  while  working at the plant owned by Leathers,  L.P.  The  primary
contention of plaintiff is that the conveyor belt equipment he was  working
on  when  injured  was  designed and/or constructed in  violation  of  OSHA
requirements  and/or  without  regard to  the  safety  of  the  individuals
required   to   use  the  equipment.    Coastal  Conveyor   Systems,   Inc.
manufactured  the  conveyor belt system.  Gulf  States,  Inc.  erected  the
conveyor  belt  system  at  the Leathers Facility,  and  DEC  designed  the
facility  and  supervised  construction under  contract  with  Magma.   The
plaintiff alleges that Magma participated in the design and construction of
the facility. In a statement filed with the court in mid-1993 the plaintiff
claimed  special damages of $750,000 and general damages of  $3.5  million.
However,  Mr. Antunez's attorneys have indicated an intention  to  increase
the  total  of  such claimed damages to $10 million.  At the  time  of  the
incident,  Magma was insured under a policy of general liability  insurance
issued by Lloyd's Underwriters but Lloyd's has denied coverage. The Company
is  contesting  this  denial.  In the event Magma  is  found  to  have  any
liability  to  Mr.  Antunez, it is possible Magma  Power  Company  will  be
entitled  to  be indemnified by DEC or others.   The Company believes  that
the complaint against Magma is without merit but no assurances can be given
as to the resolution of this matter.



ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The  1994  Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Magma Power Company  was  held
on  June  21,  1994 at 10:30 a.m. at the Marriott-La Jolla, 4250  La  Jolla
Village   Drive, San Diego, California.

The  record date for the meeting was April 25, 1994 and there were a  total
number  of  24,011,379  shares of the Company's  common  stock  issued  and
outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.  There were present at the
meeting,  in  person or by proxy, the holders of 20,426,386 common  shares,
representing 85% of the total number of shares outstanding and entitled  to
vote at the meeting, such percentage representing a quorum.
