Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported in the Current Report of U.S. Energy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 8-K dated January 29, 2008 (the January 29 Form 8-K), the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, originally scheduled to take place on January 29, 2008, was adjourned by order of the Delaware Chancery Court until Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Consequently, the Company is disseminating a Second Supplement to its original Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders to inform stockholders of the new date for the Special Meeting.

As more fully reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 19, 2008 and January 24, 2008, Asher E. Fogel, former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, filed suit in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware against the Company and each of the Directors seeking to compel the Company to convene the Special Meeting of Stockholders.

As more fully reported in the January 29 Form 8-K, Nakash Energy LLC, a shareholder of the Company that owns approximately 15 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, filed suit in the Delaware Chancery Court against the Company seeking, among other things, to compel the Company to convene an annual meeting of stockholders.

All of the parties to the litigation proceedings in the Chancery Court requested the order adjourning the Special Meeting of Stockholders until Tuesday, February 5, 2008, so that they can pursue discussions to try to achieve settlement of each suit. If settlement discussions are ongoing, the Special Meeting of Stockholders could be adjourned to a later date if the parties agree.

The Company will endeavor to keep stockholders informed of further developments regarding the Special Meeting of Stockholders by press release and posting of additional information at its website, www.usenergysystems.com.

A copy of the Second Supplement to Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 20.3.
