INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the CalEnergy Company, Inc.
	Money Purchase Pension Plan Committee
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of CalEnergy Company, Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan (the "Plan") 
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in 
net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan 
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and changes in net assets available for 
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in 
the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis 
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and 
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the 
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of 
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of 
additional analysis rather than to present net assets available for benefits 
and changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual funds.  
The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund is the 
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and 
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in 
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CALENERGY COMPANY, INC. MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

1.	DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The CalEnergy Company, Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan ("the Plan") is a 
money purchase pension plan which was established in 1990 with an 
effective date of January 1, 1990.  The following description of the Plan 
is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should 
refer to the Plan Agreement (the "Agreement") for a more complete 
description of the Plan's provisions.
General - The Plan is a defined contribution pension plan subject to the 
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Participation - All employees of CalEnergy Operating Company and 
affiliated entities, a wholly owned subsidiary of CalEnergy Company, Inc. 
(the "Company"), were previously eligible to participate in the Plan after 
satisfying certain length-of-service requirements.  By amendment to the 
plan dated September 30, 1996, the employees' right to enter the plan was 
terminated effective June 30, 1996.  The Plan operates under the direction 
of an administrative committee, appointed by the Company's Board of 
Directors, as provided in the Agreement.
Contributions - By amendment to the plan dated September 30, 1996, the 
Company ceased employer contributions and future benefits accruals, 
effective for Plan years beginning after December 31, 1995.  Prior to 
1996, the Company contributed an amount equal to 6% of each eligible 
participant's annual compensation, as defined.  Employees make no 
contributions to the Plan.
Vesting - All participant account balances became 100% vested as of 
December 31, 1995, by Amendment to the Plan dated September 30, 1996.  
Previously all non-vested amounts were forfeited to the Plan upon 
participant termination.  Forfeitures amounted to $-0- and $120,518 for 
1996 and 1995, respectively.
Benefits - Participants are entitled to withdraw their account balances 
only upon retirement, death, disability or termination.
Termination - Upon partial or full termination of the Plan, distributions 
will be made as specified in the Agreement.
Trustee - The Dreyfus Trust Company ("Dreyfus") is the Plan Trustee and 
executes all investment transactions and recordkeeping.  All investment 
transactions are determined based on the allocation of investments as 
directed by the participants.  Prior to November 1996, investment 
transactions were directed by the administrative committee.
2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been 
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.
Investments - The Plan's investments are stated at fair value.  The 
Company common stock is valued at the last published sales price at the 
end of the Plan year.  The Dreyfus Funds and the Capital Preservation Fund 
are valued at quoted market prices.
The Company common stock represents shares of 1,557 and 0 at December 31, 
1996 and 1995, respectively.
Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in the Fair Value of Investments - The 
Plan presents in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets, the 
net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which 
consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation 
or depreciation on those investments.  Such amounts are based on the 
beginning of the year fair value, or cost if purchased during the year.
Administrative Expenses - All costs of Plan administration are paid by the 
Company.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from 
those estimates.
3.	DUE TO CALENERGY
In 1995, the Company's contribution exceeded the Plan's funding 
requirement.  This amount will be repaid to the Company in 1997.
4.	TAX STATUS
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is 
qualified pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code 
and, accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income 
taxes.  In December 1996, the Plan obtained a favorable tax determination 
letter from the Internal Revenue Service and the Plan sponsor believes 
that the Plan continues to qualify and to operate as designed.  Therefore, 
no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial 
statements.
5.	INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
In 1996 and 1995, $176,768 and $96,481, respectively, were allocated to 
accounts of persons who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan, but 
for which disbursement has not been made.  These amounts are included as a 
component of net assets available for benefits.
6.	FUND INFORMATION
Employer contributions, interest income, dividend income, net appreciation 
(depreciation) in the fair value of investments, and benefit payments by 
fund are as follows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995:

7.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by the Dreyfus 
Trust Company.  The Dreyfus Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the 
Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.  In 
addition, transactions of the CalEnergy stock fund qualify as party-in-
interest
