     This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D
initially filed on June 7, 1999 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") by RWE Aktiengesellschaft, a corporation organized under the laws
of the Federal Republic of Germany ("RWE"), as previously amended by Amendment
No. 1 filed with the SEC by RWE on September 5, 2001 (such Schedule 13D as
previously amended, the "Schedule 13D"), which Schedule 13D relates to the
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of CONSOL Energy Inc. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings
ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by
inserting the following paragraph as the next to last paragraph of such item:

          In connection with its review of its existing investments, RWE is
     considering the disposition of some of or all the Shares of Common Stock
     of the Issuer owned by its Subsidiaries, which disposition may
     take any of a number of forms, including, without limitation,
     underwritten offerings of such Shares, open market or private sales of
     such Shares, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer,
     including, without limitation, a merger or reorganization, or a
     combination of any of the foregoing. RWE has advised the Issuer of the
     foregoing and has advised the Issuer of its intention to coordinate with
     the Issuer in the implementation of any such disposition. The timing,
     form and size of any such disposition would depend on market conditions,
     business conditions and other factors, and there can be no assurance that
     any such disposition will occur. RWE reserves the right not to dispose of
     any Shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.





                                                                             4



                                   Signature

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
