Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On April 23, 1999, the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
County approved a settlement agreement which ended the lawsuit brought by Grays
Ferry Cogeneration Partnership (the "Partnership"), Trigen-Schuylkill
Cogeneration, Inc. ("Trigen- Schuylkill") and Cogen America Schuylkill Inc.
("Cogen America") against PECO Energy Company ("PECO") and Adwin (Schuylkill)
Cogeneration, Inc.  ("Adwin").  The Partnership is the owner of the Grays Ferry
Cogeneration Facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The Partnership,
Trigen-Schuylkill and Cogen America commenced this lawsuit in reaction to the
alleged termination by PECO on March 3, 1998, of the electric power purchase
agreements between the Partnership and PECO (the "Power Purchase Agreements").

     Under the settlement agreement PECO's subsidiary, Adwin, surrendered its
rights to its one-third partnership interest in the Partnership to the two
remaining partners, Trigen-Schuylkill and Cogen America.  As a result, Trigen-
Schuylkill now owns one half of the Partnership and Cogen America owns the other
half.  Trigen-Schuylkill is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trigen Energy
Corporation.  The receipt of the additional interest in the Partnership will be
accounted for by Trigen Energy Corporation using the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations.  Trigen Energy Corporation which now owns
a 50% interest in the Partnership, will continue to account for its investment
using the equity method.

              GRAYS FERRY COGENERATION PARTNERSHIP
                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           Unaudited


1.        Organization of Partnership

     Grays Ferry Cogeneration Partnership, (the "Partnership") was organized on
October 29, 1991 as a Pennsylvania general partnership for the sole purpose of
developing, owning, constructing and operating a 150 megawatt gas and oil fired
qualifying cogeneration facility at the Schuylkill Station of Trigen-
Philadelphia Energy Corporation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  For the period
from October 29, 1991 through January 8, 1998, the Partnership was considered a
development stage entity as its sole activity was construction of the facility.
Pursuant to 20-year electricity and 25-year steam purchase agreements between
the Partnership and its two customers, sales of electricity and steam began in
January 9, 1998, the date of Commercial Operations.

     Up to April 23, 1999, the Partnership's general partners were Adwin
(Schuylkill) Cogeneration, Inc. ("Adwin"), Trigen (Schuylkill) Cogeneration,
Inc. ("Trigen-Schuylkill") and Cogen America Schuylkill, Inc. ("Cogen America").
The three general partners were equal partners, with net operating profits and
losses and distributions to be allocated equally to the partners, subject to the
terms and provisions as stated in the Amended and Restated Partnership
Agreement.

2.   Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements of the Partnership presented herein are unaudited.
However, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1999, and the results of
operations and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 are not indicative of those to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1999.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1998 filed as Exhibit 99 in Trigen Energy
Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

3.   Legal Proceedings

     On April 23, 1999, the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
County approved a settlement agreement which ended the lawsuit brought by the
Partnership, Trigen-Schuylkill and Cogen America against PECO Energy Company
("PECO") and Adwin.  The Partnership is the owner of the Grays Ferry
Cogeneration Facility located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The Partnership,
Trigen-Schuylkill and Cogen America commenced this lawsuit in reaction to the
alleged termination by PECO on March 3, 1998, of the electric power purchase
agreements between the Partnership and PECO (the "Power Purchase Agreements").

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              Unaudited


     Under the settlement agreement PECO's subsidiary, Adwin, surrendered its
rights to its one-third partnership interest in the Partnership to the two
remaining partners, Trigen-Schuylkill and Cogen America.  As a result, Trigen-
Schuylkill now owns one half of the Partnership and Cogen America owns the other
half.

4.        Cumulative Effect of a Change in an Accounting Principle

     Effective January 1, 1999, the Partnership adopted the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5").  SOP 98-5 requires that costs
associated with start-up activities and organizational costs be expensed as
incurred.  The effect of the adoption was an after-tax charge of $357,000, to
expense deferred organizational and start-up costs as a cumulative effect of a
change in an accounting principle.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(a)  Pro forma Balance Sheet adjustment of $12.2 million to increase investments
  in non-consolidated partnerships to reflect the gain associated with the
  settlement of the Partnership lawsuit.  This pro forma gain represents the
  fair value of one-half of Adwin's one-third investment in the Partnership
  which Adwin surrendered to Trigen-Schuylkill under the terms of the settlement
  agreement. We had previously stated that if the book value of that interest
  approximated market value, the gain would have been $9.2 million.

(b)  Pro forma Balance Sheet adjustment to reflect an increase of $5.1 million
  in accrued tax liabilities for tax expense associated with the gain.  The
  income tax balance is based on the U.S. statutory rate of 35% plus state and
  local income taxes.

(c)  Pro forma Balance Sheet adjustment of $7.2 million to retained earnings to
  reflect the net income effect of the gain.

(d)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment of $12.2 million to other
  income, net, to reflect the gain associated with the settlement of the
  Partnership lawsuit.  This pro forma gain represents the fair value of one-
  half of Adwin's one-third investment in the Partnership which Adwin
  surrendered to Trigen-Schuylkill under the terms of the settlement agreement.

(e)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment to reflect a $5.1 million
  accrued tax expense associated with the gain.  The income tax expense is based
  on the U.S. statutory rate of 35% plus state and local income taxes.

(f)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment to include incremental 1998
  Partnership income of $2.5 million reflecting the 16.7% increase in ownership
  percentage.
(g)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment to reflect tax expense of $1.1
  million associated with the incremental 1998 partnership income. The income
  tax expense is based on the U.S. statutory rate of 35% plus state and local
  income taxes.

(h)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment to include incremental 1999
  Partnership income of $.2 million reflecting the 16.7% increase in ownership
  percentage.
(i)  Pro forma Statement of Operations adjustment to reflect tax expense of $.1
  million associated with the incremental 1999 partnership income. The income
  tax expense is based on the U.S. statutory rate of 35% plus state and local
  income taxes.
