2.   A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTIES OF CLAIMANT AND EACH
     OF ITS SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC UTILITY COMPANIES USED FOR THE
     GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, AND DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC
     ENERGY FOR SALE, OR FOR THE PRODUCTION, TRANSMISSION, AND
     DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL OR MANUFACTURED GAS, INDICATING THE
     LOCATION OF PRINCIPAL GENERATING PLANTS, TRANSMISSION LINES,
     PRODUCING FIELDS, GAS MANUFACTURING PLANTS, AND ELECTRIC AND
     GAS DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES, INCLUDING ALL SUCH PROPERTIES
     WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THE STATE IN WHICH CLAIMANT AND ITS
     SUBSIDIARIES ARE ORGANIZED AND ALL TRANSMISSION OR PIPELINES
     WHICH DELIVER OR RECEIVE ELECTRIC ENERGY OR GAS AT THE
     BORDERS OF SUCH STATE.

     Florida  Progress  Corporation  ("Progress")  owns no property  used in the
generation,  transmission, or distribution of electricity or for the production,
transmission, and distribution of natural or manufactured gas.

     Florida  Power   Corporation   ("Power")   renders   electric   service  to
approximately  1.3  million  customers  in central  and  northern  Florida  (the
"State") and along the west coast of the State. Power is the only public utility
subsidiary  of  Progress  that  owns   properties   used  for  the   generation,
transmission,  and  distribution  of electric  energy,  and all such property is
located within the State.  Power provides  electric service in 32 of the State's
67  counties.  In an area  covering  about  20,000  square  miles,  its  service
territory  includes the rapidly  growing areas around  Orlando,  and the densely
populated Gulf Coast cities of St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

     As of December 31, 1997,  Power's total net winter generating  capacity was
7,717 megawatts ("MW").  This capacity is generated by thirteen steam units with
a capacity of 4,661 MW and forty-five  combustion  turbine units with a capacity
of 3,056 MW.  Approximately  53% of Power's  capacity is in two locations.  Five
steam plants totaling 3,031 MW, including Power's 90.4% share,  representing 755
MW, of one nuclear unit, are located at Crystal River in Citrus County, Florida.
Two steam  plants  totaling  1,034 MW are  located at  Anclote in Pasco  County,
Florida. The remaining steam plants and the combustion turbine units are located
in Florida in Pinellas,  Volusia, Osceola, Highlands, Polk, Orange, Suwannee and
Alachua counties.

     Power owns 362  substations  having an  aggregate  transformer  capacity of
42,392,415  kilivolt amperes.  The transmission system consists of approximately
4,622 circuit miles of high voltage  transmission  lines, of which 2,620 circuit
miles are operated at 500, 230 or 115 kilivolts ("KV") and the balance at 69 KV.
Power has numerous interconnection points with other generating utilities within
the State and seven  interconnections  with Georgia Power Company,  which permit
Power to receive energy from and deliver it to Georgia. Power has 24,311 circuit
miles of distribution  lines which operate at various  voltages ranging from 2.4
to 25 KV.
