                                  SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP NO. 59159Q107                        PAGE 5 OF 8 PAGES

ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") should be read in
conjunction with the Schedule 13D dated December 9, 1999 ("Schedule 13D") as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by DDJ Capital Management,
LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, and certain affiliates.   This
Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D only with respect to those items below.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto on the Schedule 13D.

     This filing of statement is not, and should be deemed to be, an admission
that the Schedule 13D or any Amendment thereto is required to be filed.

     This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the
"Shares") of Metretek Technologies, Inc. (the "Company").  The principal
executive offices of the Company are located at 1675 Broadway, Suite 2150,
Denver, Colorado, 80202.


ITEM 3.   SOURCES AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION:

     Item 3 is deleted in its entirety and amended as set forth below.

     On December 9, 1999, the Fund, DDJ Canadian and the Account (collectively,
the "Funds") purchased an aggregate of 1,450 Units issued by the Company
pursuant to a private placement for a purchase price of $2,000 per Unit for an
aggregate purchase price of $2,900,000.  Each Unit consists of one share of
Series B Preferred Stock, 200 shares of Common Stock and one Warrant to purchase
100 shares of Common Stock.  The Units are immediately detachable into their
component securities.  The Fund purchased 242 Units for cash; DDJ Canadian
purchased 725 Units for cash; and the Account purchased 483 Units for cash.

     The Warrants may be exercised at any time after March 9, 2000 through
December 9, 2004.  The initial exercise price for the Warrants is $6.7425 per
share, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain antidilution and reset
provisions.  Since the Warrants may be exercised within 60 days of the date of
this filing, the Funds may be deemed to beneficially own the 145,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.  Such shares have
therefore been included in this filing.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Series B
Preferred Stock, each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted any
time after June 9, 2000 into that number obtained by dividing the Conversion
Value ($1,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends) by

CUSIP NO. 59159Q107                        PAGE 6 OF 8 PAGES


$5.9334 (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment pursuant to certain
antidilution and reset
provisions. Given that the Series B Preferred Stock may not be converted within
60 days of the date of this filing, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock has not been included in the amounts
shown in this filing.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER:

     Paragraph (a) in Item 5 is deleted in its entirety and amended as set forth
below.

     (a)  B III-A Capital Partners, L.P. owns, and GP III-A, LLC and DDJ
beneficially own, as general partner and investment manager, respectively of B
III-A Capital Partners, L.P. 72,600 Shares or approximately 1.9% of the Company.
DDJ, as investment manager to the Account, may be deemed to beneficially own
144,900 Shares, or approximately 3.7% of the  outstanding Shares of the Company.
DDJ, as investment advisor to DDJ Canadian, may be deemed to beneficially own
217,500 Shares, or approximately 5.6% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.
Accordingly, DDJ may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 435,000 Shares, or
approximately 11.1% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.


ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS:

     Not Applicable.
