          2.  Following is a brief description of the properties of claimant and
of each of its wholly owned public utility subsidiaries, Texas Generating

location of principal generating plants, transmission lines and distribution
facilities including all such properties which are outside
<PAGE>

the State in which claimant and its subsidiaries are organized, and all
transmission lines which deliver or receive electric energy at the borders of
such States:

          Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP) serves approximately 233,000
     customers in a total of 85 municipalities and adjacent rural areas.  TNMP
     is a subsidiary of TNP Enterprises, Inc., a public utility holding company
     exempt under Section 3(a)(1) of the Act.

          Within Texas, TNMP is a regulated public utility engaged in the
     generation, supply, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy.
     TNMP has three operating regions throughout Texas. The largest
     municipalities within Texas served by TNMP are Texas City, Lewisville, and
     League City. The regions located in Texas are:

        . North Central Region.  Electric transmission and distribution systems
          serving 56 communities in northeastern and central Texas.   The region
          is based at Lewisville, Texas.

        . Gulf Coast Region.  Electric transmission and distribution systems
          serving 14 communities in southeastern Texas.    The region is based
          at Texas City, Texas.

        . Mountain Region.  Electric transmission and distribution system serves
          6 communities in southwestern Texas and 9 communities in southern New
          Mexico. The Mountain region is based at Silver City, New Mexico. The
          largest municipalities within this region served by TNMP are Silver
          City, Alamogordo and Ruidoso, New Mexico, and Pecos, Texas.

          TNMP and its subsidiaries own generating facilities located in
     Robertson County, Texas, which is in the central part of Texas. The
     generating facilities consist of two 150 MW, circulating fluidized bed
     units, and currently use lignite as the fuel source. TNMP also has a
     transmission line connecting these units to a major transmission grid in
     Texas. TNMP sells electricity from these units solely within Texas. Neither
     the claimant nor any of its subsidiaries own transmission lines that
     deliver or receive electricity at the border of Texas.

          As described above, a portion of TNMP's Mountain Region serves
     southern New Mexico. Within New Mexico, TNMP is a regulated public utility
     engaged in the supply, transmission, distribution and sale of electric
     energy. TNMP owns transmission and distribution lines within New Mexico.
