PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

SDG&E Funding LLC (the "Note Issuer") is a special-purpose,
single-member limited liability company organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware. San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E"), as the
sole member of the Note Issuer, owns all of the equity securities of
the Note Issuer. The Note Issuer was organized in July 1997 for the
limited purposes of holding and servicing the Transition Property (as
described below) and issuing notes secured by the Transition Property
and other limited collateral and related activities, and is restricted
by its organizational documents from engaging in other activities. The
Note Issuer's organizational documents require it to operate in a
manner such that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate
of SDG&E in the event SDG&E becomes subject to such a proceeding.

The only material business conducted by the Note Issuer has
been the acquisition of Transition Property and the issuance on
December 16, 1997 of $658,000,000 in principal amount of the SDG&E
Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (the
"Notes"), with scheduled maturities ranging from one year to ten years
and final maturities ranging from three to twelve years. The specific
interest rate and maturity of each class of Notes is specified in Note
C of the Notes to Financial Statements herein. The Notes were issued
pursuant to an Indenture between the Note Issuer and Bankers Trust
Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Note
Issuer sold the Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic
Development Bank Special Purpose Trust SDG&E-1, a Delaware business
trust (the "Trust"), which issued certificates corresponding to each
class of Notes (the "Certificates") in a public offering.

The Note Issuer has no employees. It has entered into a
servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") with SDG&E, pursuant to
which SDG&E is required to service the Transition Property on behalf of
the Note Issuer. In addition, the Note Issuer has entered into an
Administrative Services Agreement with SDG&E pursuant to which SDG&E
performs administrative and operational duties for the Note Issuer.

TRANSITION PROPERTY

The California Public Utilities Code (the "PU Code") provides
for the creation of "Transition Property." A financing order dated
September 3, 1997 (the "Financing Order") issued by the California
Public Utilities Commission (the "CPUC"), together with the related
Issuance Advice Letter, establishes, among other things, separate
nonbypassable charges (the "FTA Charges") payable by residential
electric customers and small commercial electric customers in an
aggregate amount sufficient to repay in full the Certificates, fund the
Overcollateralization Subaccount established under the Indenture and
pay all related costs and fees. Under the PU Code and the Financing
Order, the owner of the Transition Property is entitled to collect FTA
Charges until such owner has received amounts sufficient to retire all
outstanding series of Certificates and cover related fees and expenses
and the Overcollateralization Amount described in the Financing Order.
The Transition Property is a property right under California law that
includes, without limitation, ownership of the FTA Charges and any
adjustments thereto as described in the next paragraph.

In order to enhance the likelihood that actual collections
with respect to the Transition Property are neither more nor less than
the amount necessary to amortize the Notes in accordance with their
expected amortization schedules, pay all related fees and expenses, and
fund certain accounts established pursuant to the Indenture as
required, the Servicing Agreement requires SDG&E, as the servicer of
the Transition Property (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), to seek,
and the Financing Order and the PU Code require the CPUC to approve,
periodic adjustments to the FTA Charges. Such adjustments will be based
on actual collections with respect thereto and updated assumptions by
the Servicer as to future usage of electricity by specified customers,
future expenses relating to the Transition Property, the Notes and the
Certificates, and the rate of delinquencies and write-offs. The FTA
Charges will be adjusted at least annually if there is a material
shortfall or overage in collections.

THE TRUST

The Trust was organized in November 1997 solely for the
purpose of purchasing the Notes and issuing the Certificates. It will
not conduct any other material business activities.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Note Issuer and the Trust have no tangible properties.
The primary assets of the Note Issuer and the Trust are the Transition
Property and the Notes, respectively, as described above in Item 1.
Collections related to the Transition Property and the related payments
on the Notes in 1999 and 1998 are shown on the Statements of Cash Flows
included in this Annual Report.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Omitted with respect to the Note Issuer pursuant to
Instruction I of Form 10-K.

No matters were submitted for a vote or consent of holders of
Certificates in 1999.


PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS

(a) There is no established public trading market for the Note
Issuer's equity securities. All of the Note Issuer's equity is owned by
SDG&E. On August 11, 1997, SDG&E transferred $400,000 to the Note
Issuer as an initial capital contribution, and SDG&E made capital
contributions to the Note Issuer aggregating to $3,290,000. The sale of
such membership interest was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
The Note Issuer has made no other sales of unregistered securities.

The Indenture prohibits the Note Issuer from making any
distributions to the sole member from the amounts allocated to the Note
Issuer unless no default has occurred and is continuing thereunder and
the book value of the remaining equity of the Note Issuer, after giving
effect to such distribution, is equal to at least 0.5% of the original
principal amount of all series of Notes which then remains outstanding.
As of December 31, 1999, the original principal amount of all series of
Notes which then remained outstanding was $526,400,000. As of December
31, 1999, the Note Issuer has not made any distributions to SDG&E. The
Note Issuer intends to make distributions to the sole member from time
to time in the future as permitted by the Indenture.

The registered owner for each class of the Certificates is
Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). DTC has
informed the Note Issuer that as of March 27, 2000, there were
approximately 100 beneficial holders of Certificates. The Certificates
are not registered and do not trade on any established trading market.

(b) The Note Issuer's Amendment No. 4 to the Registration
Statement No. 333-30761 on Form S-3, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 21, 1997 (the
"Registration Statement") for the sale of the Notes and the
Certificates was declared effective by the Commission on November 24,
1997. The Certificates were offered for sale beginning on December 4,
1997. Certificates in the aggregate amount of $658,000,000 were sold on
December 16, 1997. In connection with the offering of the Certificates,
Morgan Stanley, Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. acted as the managing
underwriters. The Trust purchased the Notes from the Note Issuer on
December 16, 1997, pursuant to a private sale in the aggregate amount
of $658,000,000. Notes and Certificates in the aggregate principal
amount of $800,000,000 were authorized and $658,000,000 have been
offered and sold to date. All of the Notes offered in the sale were
purchased. The amount of each class of Notes and Certificates
registered and the respective sale prices, which exclude the original
issue discount, are as follows:



Sale Price
Class Principal Amount Sold (Net of Discount)
- ------ --------------------------- ----------

Class A-1 Notes and Certificates $ 65,800,000.00 $ 65,797,058.74
Class A-2 Notes and Certificates 82,639,254.00 82,628,229.92
Class A-3 Notes and Certificates 66,230,948.00 66,218,105.82
Class A-4 Notes and Certificates 65,671,451.00 65,648,886.29
Class A-5 Notes and Certificates 96,537,839.00 96,536,159.24
Class A-6 Notes and Certificates 197,584,137.00 197,544,718.97
Class A-7 Notes and Certificates 83,536,371.00 83,481,128.40
--------------- ---------------

Total: $658,000,000.00 $657,854,287.38
=============== ===============


The net offering proceeds to the Trust were $654,728,789: the
$658,000,000 received in the sale of the Certificates less $3,125,498 of
underwriting discount and commission, and $145,713 of original issue
discount. The Trust used all of the net proceeds from the sale of
Certificates to purchase the Notes from the Note Issuer. The net
offering proceeds to the Note Issuer were used to purchase the
Transition Property. Compensation paid to the independent director of
the Note Issuer was $3,800. Other than the payment to the independent
director, no additional net offering proceeds were used to pay, either
directly or indirectly, any director, officer or affiliate of the Note
Issuer.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Omitted pursuant to Instruction I ("Omission of Information by
Certain Wholly Owned Subsidiaries") of Form 10-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the Note Issuer's results of
operations is in an abbreviated format pursuant to Instruction I of Form
10-K.

As discussed above under "Item 1. Business", the Note Issuer
was established in July 1997 for limited purposes. As discussed above
under Item 5 (Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters), on December 16, 1997, the Note Issuer issued Notes
in order to purchase Transition Property. The Note Issuer is restricted
by its organizational documents from engaging in activities other than
those described in Item 1.

The Note Issuer expects to use collections with respect to the
Transition Property to make scheduled principal and interest payments on
the Notes. Interest income earned on the Transition Property is expected
to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt-
issuance expenses and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees
charged by SDG&E for servicing the Transition Property and providing
administrative services to the Note Issuer. (These agreements are
discussed in greater detail in Note D to the Financial Statements
attached hereto.)

Collections of FTA Charges since inception of the program have
met expectations. For 1999, collections of $101,401,000 resulted in an
undercollection of $1,526,000 after deducting scheduled principal and
interest payments of $101,077,000, payments of $1,521,000 for servicing
fees and other expenses, and $329,000 retained to fund the
Overcollateralization Account established under the Notes' indenture.
The undercollection was deducted from the previous surplus collections.
For 1998, collections of $115,360,000 resulted in an overcollection of
$6,423,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of
$106,556,000, payments of $2,051,000 for servicing fees and other
expenses, and $330,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization
Account established under the Notes' indenture. The remaining excess
collections will be applied toward future payments on the Notes.
Management believes that it is reasonable to expect future collections
of FTA Charges to be sufficient to make scheduled payments on the Notes
and pay related expenses on a timely basis. The FTA Charges will be
adjusted at least annually if there is a material shortfall or overage
in collections.

The Note Issuer has no computer systems of its own and relies on
certain systems of SDG&E for information. There were only a few, very
minor Year 2000 interruptions to SDG&E's automated systems and
applications with suppliers and customers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of SDG&E Funding LLC:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SDG&E Funding
LLC as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations and changes in member's equity and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the period from July 1, 1997
(inception) to December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of SDG&E Funding LLC as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
for the period from July 1, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997 in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Nature of Operations

The financial statements include the accounts of SDG&E Funding LLC
(SDG&E Funding), a Delaware special-purpose limited-liability company,
whose sole member is San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), a
provider of electric and natural gas services. SDG&E is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sempra Energy. SDG&E Funding was formed on July 1, 1997,
in order to effect the issuance of notes (the Underlying Notes)
intended to support a 10-percent electric-rate reduction. This
reduction is provided to SDG&E's residential and small commercial
customers in connection with the electric industry restructuring
mandated by California Assembly Bill 1890.

SDG&E Funding was organized for the limited purposes of issuing the
Underlying Notes and purchasing Transition Property. Transition
Property is the right to be paid a specified amount from a
nonbypassable charge levied on residential and small commercial
customers. The nonbypassable charge has been authorized by the
California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) pursuant to electric
restructuring legislation.

SDG&E Funding is restricted by its organizational documents from
engaging in any other activities. In addition, SDG&E Funding's
organizational documents require it to operate in such a manner that
it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of SDG&E in the
event that SDG&E becomes subject to such a proceeding.

SDG&E Funding is legally separate from SDG&E. The assets of SDG&E
Funding are not available to creditors of SDG&E or Sempra Energy.
SDG&E Funding will cease to exist upon the maturation or retirement of
the Underlying Notes.

B. Summary of Accounting Policies

Restricted Funds

SDG&E Funding is required to maintain funds of approximately $3
million. These funds are to be used to make scheduled payments on the
Underlying Notes and to pay other expenses of SDG&E Funding in the
event that collections of the nonbypassable charge provide
insufficient funds to make such payments.

Unamortized Debt Issuance Expense

The expenses associated with the issuance of the Underlying Notes have
been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the
Underlying Notes.

Income Taxes

SDG&E Funding is a single-member limited-liability company.
Accordingly, all federal income tax effects and all material State of
California franchise tax effects of SDG&E Funding's activities accrue
to SDG&E.

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,
liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

C. Long-Term Debt

In December 1997, SDG&E Funding issued $658 million of the Underlying
Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank
Special Purpose Trust (the Trust). The Trust, in turn, issued pass-
through certificates known as "rate-reduction bonds" with an original
principal amount equal to the original principal amount of the
Underlying Notes. SDG&E Funding used the proceeds from the Underlying
Notes to purchase the Transition Property from SDG&E.

The Underlying Notes are secured solely by the Transition Property and
other assets of SDG&E Funding. Scheduled maturities and interest rates
for the Underlying Notes at December 31 are as follows:

Scheduled 1999 1998
Maturity Interest Amount Amount
Class Date Rate (Dollars in thousands)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
A-2 March 25, 2000 6.04% $ 16,839 $ 82,639
A-3 March 25, 2001 6.07% 66,231 66,231
A-4 March 25, 2002 6.15% 65,672 65,672
A-5 September 25, 2003 6.19% 96,538 96,538
A-6 September 25, 2006 6.31% 197,584 197,584
A-7 December 26, 2007 6.37% 83,536 83,536
----------- ----------
526,400 592,200
Less current portion (65,800) (65,800)
----------- -----------
Long-term debt $460,600 $526,400
=========== ===========

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Underlying Notes are $526
million and $511 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999, and $592
million and $607 million, respectively, at December 31, 1998. The fair
values of the Underlying Notes are estimated based on quoted market
prices for them or for similar issues.

The source of repayment is the nonbypassable charge authorized by the
CPUC. This nonbypassable charge is collected by SDG&E, as Servicer,
from its residential and small commercial customers. Collections of
the nonbypassable charge are deposited on a monthly basis by SDG&E
with SDG&E Funding in an account maintained by the trustee (Bankers
Trust Company). Each quarter such monies are used to make principal
and interest payments on the Underlying Notes. The debt service
requirements include an overcollateralization amount that is retained
for the benefit of the holders of the Underlying Notes. Any amounts
not required for debt service will be returned to SDG&E Funding.

D. Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Under a Transition Property Servicing Agreement, SDG&E, the Servicer,
is required to manage and administer the Transition Property of SDG&E
Funding and to collect the nonbypassable charge from electric
customers on behalf of SDG&E Funding. SDG&E Funding pays a servicing
fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Underlying Notes. The Servicer is also entitled to receive as
compensation any interest earnings on nonbypassable charge collections
prior to remittance to the Trust and any late payment charges
collected from SDG&E's customers.

The Trust was created for the limited purposes of purchasing the
Underlying Notes from SDG&E Funding, issuing the rate-reduction bonds,
and applying the proceeds from the Underlying Notes to the payment of
the rate-reduction bonds. Under a Fee and Indemnity Agreement, SDG&E
Funding is responsible for paying all fees and expenses incurred by
the Certificate Trustee (Bankers Trust Company) and the Delaware
Trustee (Bankers Trust Delaware).
