          Utilities  is  purchasing power from  Union  Electric  Company
          under a firm capacity contract with 1996 and 1997 requirements
          of  80  Mw  and  60  Mw  of delivered capacity,  respectively.
          Utilities  will  also  purchase an additional  annual  maximum
          interruptible  capacity of up to 54 Mw of 25 Hz  power,  which
          extends through 1998.
     
          Utilities  has  also  entered into  an  agreement  with  Basin
          Electric Power Cooperative to purchase capacity of 50  Mw,  75
          Mw,  100  Mw  and  100 Mw during the annual  six-month  summer
          season for the years 1996 through 1999, respectively.
     
          At  December  31, 1995, the transmission lines  of  Utilities,
          operating  from  34,000 to 345,000 volts,  approximated  4,409
          circuit  miles  (all  located in Iowa).  Utilities  owned  108
          transmission  substations (all located in Iowa) with  a  total
          installed   capacity  of  8,597.1  MVa  and  468  distribution
          substations  (all  located in Iowa)  with  a  total  installed
          capacity of 2,593.1 MVa.
          
          Utilities' electric facilities are interconnected with certain
          Iowa  and neighboring utilities.  Also, Utilities is a  member
          of  the  Mid-Continent  Area Power  Pool  (MAPP)  which  began
          operations on November 1, 1972.  This pool is comprised of  29
          utilities and 28 energy related companies in the upper midwest
          region  of  the  United  States and operates  pursuant  to  an
          agreement  which  provides  for the  interchange  of  electric
          energy  and  the  sharing of responsibilities  for  production
          capacity and reserve, and the supply of electric energy.
          
Gas Operations:

     With  the  advent  of Federal Energy Regulatory  Commission  (FERC)
     Order 636 (Order 636), issued in 1992, the nature of Utilities' gas
     supply  portfolio  has  changed.  Order 636,  among  other  things,
     eliminated  the interstate pipelines' obligation to serve  and  now
     requires  Utilities to purchase virtually 100% of  its  gas  supply
     requirements  from non-pipeline suppliers. Utilities  has  enhanced
     access  to  competitively  priced  gas  supply  and  more  flexible
     transportation  services as a result of Order 636.  However,  under
     Order  636,  Utilities is required to pay certain transition  costs
     incurred and billed by its pipeline suppliers.
     
     Utilities began paying the transition costs in 1993 and at December
     31,  1995,  has  recorded  a liability of $5.0  million  for  those
     transition  costs that have been incurred, but not yet  billed,  by
     the pipelines to date, including $1.9 million expected to be billed
     through  1996.   Utilities is currently recovering  the  transition
     costs  from  its  customers  through its Purchased  Gas  Adjustment
     Clauses  as  such  costs  are billed by the pipelines.   Transition
     costs,  in  addition to the recorded liability, that may ultimately
     be  charged  to  Utilities  could approximate  $7.0  million.   The
     ultimate  level of costs to be billed to Utilities depends  on  the
     pipelines'  future filings with the FERC and other  future  events,
     including  the  market  price of natural gas.   However,  Utilities
     believes  any  transition  costs that  the  FERC  would  allow  the
     pipelines  to  collect from Utilities would be recovered  from  its
     customers, based upon regulatory treatment of these costs currently
     and   similar  past  costs  by  the  Iowa  Utilities  Board  (IUB).
     Accordingly,  regulatory assets, in amounts  corresponding  to  the
     recorded liabilities, have been recorded to reflect the anticipated
     recovery.
     
     Contracts  with the pipelines subsequent to Order 636 are comprised
     primarily  of  firm  transportation,  firm  storage  and  no-notice
     service.   Firm transportation contracts grant Utilities access  to
     firm pipeline capacity which is used to transport gas supplies from
     non-pipeline  suppliers on peak day.  Firm storage  service  allows
     Utilities  to purchase gas during off-peak periods and  place  this
     gas  in an account with the pipelines.  When the gas is needed  for
     peak  day deliveries, Utilities requests and the pipelines  deliver
     the  gas  back on a firm basis.  No-notice service grants Utilities
     the right to take more or less gas than is actually scheduled up to
     the  level of no-notice service.  No-notice service takes the  form
     of  transportation balancing or storage service  depending  on  the
     pipeline.

     Utilities' portfolio of firm transportation, firm storage  and  no-
     notice service from pipelines is as follows:

                                     Firm           Firm

     In   addition  to  firm  storage  with  pipelines,  Utilities  also
     contracts  for  firm storage from Llano, Inc.  This contract  calls
     for  peak  day deliveries of 18,667 Dekatherm(Dth)/day and  expires
     May 31, 1997.
     
     Gas  supply  is purchased from a variety of non-pipeline  suppliers
     located  in the United States and Canada having access to virtually
     all major natural gas producing regions.
     
     As  a result of Order 636, Utilities accepted assignment of certain
     gas  supply  contracts  previously  held  by  Northern.   Accepting
     assignment of these contracts resulted in lower costs to  Utilities
     than  would  have  been  incurred  had  Northern  bought  out   the
     agreements and billed Utilities for its share of such costs.
     
     Contracts assigned to Utilities from Northern have maximum delivery
     requirements of 13,631 Dth, and minimum take requirements of  2,726
     Dth.   Additional  firm  gas supply agreements  were  independently
     negotiated by Utilities with various non-pipeline suppliers.  These
     gas supply agreements have maximum and minimum obligations and will
     be delivered through gas transmission pipelines as follows:
     
     
                                Maximum               Minimum
                             Daily Quantity        Daily Quantity
                               (Dth/day)             (Dth/day)
                                          
               Northern         56,681                37,939
               Natural          24,575                19,575
               ANR              28,000                20,000

     These gas supply contracts have expiration dates ranging from  five
     months  to  six  years.  Rates charged by Utilities' suppliers  are
     subject to regulation by the FERC.

             NOTE:  IES Investments has included in "Equity
                    investments" several investments in foreign entities,
                    including equity ownerships in two New Zealand electric
                    distribution entities, a loan to a New Zealand company
                    and an investment in an international venture capital 
                    fund.  These investments are considered energy-related
