temperatures were 13% cooler than normal and 29% cooler than last
year's hot summer.  As a result, total retail electric sales were down
nearly 5% from the third quarter of 1995, influenced primarily by a
12% drop in residential electric sales.

     Offsetting the effects of milder temperatures, operating and
maintenance expenses in the third quarter were 16% less than a year
ago as a result of Company-wide productivity improvements and lower
financing fees.

     An analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 is discussed below.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are
expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic
conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments
and changing environmental standards, among other factors.  DP&L's
ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability of future
service will be affected by its financial condition, the availability
of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and timely rate
increases.

     As of September 30, 1996, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $32.0 million.  In addition, $240.9 million was
invested in debt and equity financial assets.

     DP&L has available to it $97 million in short-term informal lines
of credit.  DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $200 million available
through a Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement").  As of
September 30, 1996, DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under this
Credit Agreement.  DP&L has authority from the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") to issue short term debt up to
$200 million with a maximum debt limit of $300 million including loans
from DPL Inc. under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  As of
September 30, 1996, DP&L had $22 million in commercial paper
outstanding and $13 million through the informal credit lines.

     DP&L anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue First
Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with the
financing of its construction and refinancing programs during the five
year period 1996-2000.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Electric revenues decreased by $22.4 million and $3.2 million,
respectively, for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, from the corresponding periods in 1995.
Residential sales decreased 12% in the third quarter while showing a
year-to-date increase of 3% from 1995.  Sales to other public
utilities were down 37% for the quarter and 32% year-to-date compared
to last year.

     Gas revenues increased $10.6 million year-to-date compared to
last year due to a higher gas cost recovery rate and more weather-
related residential sales.

     Fuel and purchased power expense decreased $10.7 million and
$18.2 million, respectively, from the third quarter and year-to-date
1995, primarily related to decreased sales to other utilities and
lower fuel cost recovery rates.

     Gas purchased for resale increased $3.4 million for the year
compared to 1995 as a result of the increased sales.

     Operation and maintenance expense for the third quarter decreased
from last year by $11.0 million and increased $6.2 million year-to-
date.  The decrease in the third quarter was due to financing fees of
$4.7 million associated with the 1995 debt refinancing and lower
administration expenses.  Offsetting the decrease for the quarter and
causing the increase on a year-to-date basis are higher insurance and
claim costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.4 million over
year-to-date 1995.  This variance primarily reflects increased
depreciable assets and a second quarter adjustment to the depreciation
reserve.

     General taxes increased $2.9 million over the 1995 year-to-date
amounts due to increased property taxes.

     Interest expense decreased $1.6 million from the third quarter
last year and $3.8 million year-to-date.  This was primarily due to
interest savings from the 1995 bond refinancing.

     Income taxes increased $6.5 million over year-to-date 1995
primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

Item 5.  Other Information.

Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- ------------------------------------------

     On September 30, 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC") conditionally accepted DP&L's market-based sales tariff which
will allow DP&L to sell wholesale generation supply at prices that
reflect current market prices.  At the same time, FERC approved the
application and authorization of DPL Energy Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DPL Inc., to sell and broker electric power and also
charge market-based prices for such power.


Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

     (b)  Reports on Form 8-K
     ------------------------

     No reports on Form 8-K were filed by DPL Inc. during the quarter
ended September 30, 1996.
