INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
California Energy Company, Inc.
Omaha, Nebraska

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
California Energy Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30,
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and
the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review
of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of California
Energy Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein), and in our report dated February 3, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

________________________________


1.   General:

In the opinion of management of California Energy Company, Inc.
(the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of June 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its proportionate
share of the accounts of the partnerships and joint ventures in
which it has invested.  The June 30, 1995 financial statements
reflect the acquisition of Magma Power Company (See Note 8).

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements and supporting
footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.  Such reclassification did not impact previously
reported net income or retained earnings.

2.   Other Footnote Information:

Reference is made to the Company's most recently issued annual
report that included information necessary or useful to the
understanding of the Company's business and financial statement
presentations.  In particular, the Company's significant accounting
policies and practices were presented as Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements included in that report.

On January 1, 1996, the Company intends to adopt Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of".  Management anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No.
121 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
