     Re:                      Granite State Electric Company
                              File No. 70-8625  

Dear Commissioners:

     Granite State Electric Company (the "Company") is a New Hampshire
corporation.  New England Electric System ("NEES"), a Massachusetts voluntary
association, owns all of the Company's common stock.  NEES is a registered
holding company under the Public Utilities Company Holding Act of 1935 ("the
Act").  The Company is an electric utility company as defined in the Act.

     The Company has requested authority to issue and sell one or more long-
term notes in an aggregate principle amount not to exceed $5 million ("the
Note") through the end of 1995 for a term not to exceed 30 years.

     By Order Nos. 20,741 and 21,466 (DF 92-219), dated February 4, 1993 and
December 19, 1994, respectively, of the New Hampshire Public Utility
Commission, the Company was authorized to issue and sell the Note at a fixed
interest rate not exceeding 11 percent through the end of 1995.  The Note will
be issued pursuant to a Note Agreement ("Note Agreement").

     Directors' votes are required to authorize the issue of the Note and the
specific terms of the Note Agreement.  Further, I have been advised that the
Company will not issue the Note unless either (1) the Company satisfies the
interest coverage requirements under its existing Note Agreements or (2) the
Company obtains a waiver of the coverage requirements from its Note holders.

     Based on the foregoing and subject to necessary action by the Board of
Directors of the Company, as well as appropriate actions by your Commission
under the Act, it is my opinion that in the event the proposed transaction is
consummated in accordance with the statements of the Company on Form U-1, as
amended:

     a)                       All state laws applicable to the proposed
                              transaction will have been complied with;

     b)                       The Company is validly organized and duly
                              existing;

     c)                       The Note issued pursuant to the Note
                              Agreement will be a valid and binding
                              obligation of the Company in accordance
                              with the terms, subject to laws of general
                              application of rights and remedies of
                              creditors.

     d)                       Consummation of the proposed transaction
                              will not violate the legal rights of the
                              holders of any securities issued by the
                              Company or any associate company thereof.

     I hereby consent to the use of this Opinion as part of the statement on
Form U-1, as amended, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the proposed transaction.

                                   Very truly yours,

    The pro forma adjustments to show the estimated effect of the proposed
transactions on the foregoing Statement of Income for the twelve months ended
March 31, 1995 are as follows:


Increase - Interest on long-term notes               $174,000


   Interest calculated on $5,000,000 principal amount of a New Note issue at
assumed interest rate of 8.50 percent less interest on $2,400,000 of 12.55
percent note retired February 1, 1995.


Decrease - Other interest                            $ 72,554


   To eliminate interest expense associated with the retirement of $5,000,000
of short-term debt.


Decrease - Income taxes - federal                    $ 35,506


   To reflect the tax effect as a result of the above adjustments.
