               Contracts and Transactions with System Companies
               ------------------------------------------------

    During 1993, Orr and Reno, a law firm of which Malcolm McLane is Vice
President, was retained by subsidiaries of NEES.

    During 1993, Paul L. Joskow did consulting work for NEES or subsidiaries
under a separate consulting contract for which he was paid $30,000.  NEES or
its subsidiaries retains from time to time National Economic Research
Associates, Inc., with which Mr. Joskow is associated.

    The construction company of Mr. Stephen A. Cardi, a director of
Narragansett, was awarded two contracts by New England Power Company for
construction work at its Brayton Point Station.  The contract amounts totalled
$600,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.

    Mrs. Bok retired as an employee of the NEES companies on January 1, 1994
(remaining as Chairman of NEES and a director for NEES subsidiaries).  Mrs.
Bok has agreed to waive the normal fees and annual retainers otherwise payable
for services by non-employees on NEES subsidiary boards and will receive in
lieu thereof a single annual stipend of $60,000.  Mrs. Bok also became a
consultant to NEES as of January 1, 1994.  Under the terms of her contract,
she will receive an annual retainer of $100,000.  No payments were made in
1993 pursuant to these arrangements.

    During 1993, payment for construction contracts for Brayton Point Gas Line
Project and Cell Lining Project totaling approximately $1,600,000 was paid to
Cardi Corporation, a company in which Stephen Cardi, a Narragansett director,
owns 5% or more of the equity securities.


                                Plan Summaries
                                --------------

    A brief description of the various plans through which compensation and
benefits are provided to the named executive officers is presented below to
better enable shareholders to understand the information presented in the
tables shown earlier.  The general provisions of the incentive compensation
plans are described in the NEES Compensation Committee Report on Executive
Compensation.  The amounts of compensation and benefits provided to the named
executive officers under the plans described below (and charged to the System
Companies listed in the above tables) are presented in the Summary
Compensation Tables.
<PAGE>
Goals Program
- -------------

    The goals program covers all employees who have completed one year of
service with any NEES subsidiary.  Goals are established annually.  For 1993,
these goals related to earnings per share, customer costs, safety,
absenteeism, conservation, generating station availability, transmission
reliability, environmental and OSHA compliance, and customer favorability
attitudes.  Some goals apply to all employees, while others apply to
particular functional groups.  Depending upon the number of goals met, and
provided the minimum goal for earnings per share is met, employees may earn a
cash bonus of 1% to 4-1/2% of their compensation.


Incentive Thrift Plan
- ---------------------

    The incentive thrift plan (a 401(k) program) provides for a match of one-
half of up to the first 4% of base compensation contributed to the System's
incentive thrift plan (shown under All Other Compensation in the Summary
Compensation Table) and, based on an incentive formula tied to earnings per
share, may fully match the first 4% of base compensation contributed (the
additional amount, if any, is shown under Bonus in the Summary Compensation
Table).  Under Federal law, contributions to these plans are restricted.  In
1993, the salary reduction amount was limited to a total of $8,994 from all
the System Companies.


Life Insurance
- --------------

    The System has established for certain senior executives life insurance
plans funded by individual policies.  The combined death benefit under these
insurance plans is three times the participant's annual salary.

    After termination of employment, participants in one of the insurance
plans may elect, commencing at age 55 or later, to receive an annuity income
equal to 40% of annual salary.  In that event, the life insurance is reduced
over fifteen years to an amount equal to the participant's final annual
salary.  Due to changes in the tax law, this plan was closed to new
participants, and an alternative was established with only a life insurance
benefit.  The individuals listed in the NEES or NEP summary tables are in one
or the other of these plans.  Mass. Electric and Narragansett each have two
executive officers eligible to participate in one or the other of these plans. 


Other
- -----

    The System does not have any share option plans.

Retirement Plans
- ----------------

    The following table shows estimated annual benefits payable to executive
officers under the qualified pension plan and the supplemental retirement
plan, assuming retirement at age 65 in 1994.

    For purposes of the retirement plans, Messrs. Rowe, Houston, Greenman, and
Tranen, currently have 16, 30, 30, and 24 credited years of service,
respectively.  Sergel, Dickson, Sala, Snay, and LaFleur currently have 15, 20,
24, 30, and 7 credited years of service, respectively.  McCabe, Watkins,
Frost, Beirne, and Bailey currently have 25, 21, 31, 22, and 25 credited years
of service, respectively.  At the time she retired, Mrs. Bok had 38 credited
years of service and she commenced receiving the described benefits under the
pension plans and the life insurance program.  As a non-employee she no longer
accrues service credit or additional benefits under these plans.

    Benefits under the pension plans are computed using formulae based on
percentages of highest average compensation computed over five consecutive
years.  The compensation covered by the pension plan includes salary, bonus,
and restricted share awards.  The benefits listed in the pension table are not
subject to deduction for Social Security and are shown without any joint and
survivor benefits.

    The Pension Table above does not include annuity payments to be received
in lieu of life insurance. The policies are described above under Plan
Summaries.

    In February 1993, the System announced a voluntary early retirement
program available to all non-union employees over age 55 with 10 or more years
of service as of June 30, 1993.  Mrs. Bok accepted the offer.  The program
offered either an annuity or a lump sum equal to the greater value of either
one week's base pay times the number of years of service plus two weeks base
pay or an additional five years of service and five years of age.  In
accordance with the terms of the offer, Mrs. Bok received an additional
annuity of $12,611 from a supplemental pension plan and a lump sum of $110,896
from the qualified plan.

    Mrs. Bok had not been eligible for a bonus under the prior incentive
compensation plan.  In lieu thereof she will receive a limited cost of living
(consumer price index) adjustment to her benefits from the qualified pension
plan and the supplemental retirement plan.  Since this plan serves to adjust
the pension benefit only after retirement, there will be no supplement paid
under the plan until at least 1995.

    Senior executives receive the same post-retirement health benefits as
those offered non-union employees who retire with a combination of age and
years of service equal to 85.
<PAGE>
Payments Upon a Change of Control
- ---------------------------------

    The incentive compensation plans would provide a payment of 40% of base
compensation in the event of a "change in control" as defined in the plans. 
This payout would be made in lieu of any cash bonuses under the plans for the
year in which the "change in control" occurs.  A similar payment is provided
for the previous plan year if awards for that year had not yet been
distributed.  A "change in control" is defined, generally, as an occurrence of
certain events that either evidence a merger or acquisition of NEES or cause a
significant change in the makeup of the NEES board of directors over a short
period of time.

    Upon the occurrence of a "change in control," restrictions on all shares
issued to participants under the incentive share plan would cease and the
participants would receive an award of shares for that year, determined in the
usual manner, based upon the cash awards described in the preceding paragraph.

Compensation
- ------------

    Except for Mrs. Bok all of the System Companies' officers and directors
are employees of, and are paid by, one or more subsidiaries of NEES.  The
individual salaries of officers are determined in accordance with System-wide
policy.  The allocation of these salaries between the subsidiaries is
dependent upon the number of hours worked for each of the subsidiaries.  The
following is a report by the NEES compensation committee (made up of outside
directors) on the System-wide compensation policy.


New England Electric System Compensation Committee Report on Executive
Compensation
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The System's total compensation package is designed to attract and retain
an array of superior managers whose experience is not limited to our System or
industry.  This package consists of Base Salary, Incentive Compensation
(performance based, at risk compensation), and Benefits.  The System's general
compensation philosophy is that the Base Salary ranges should be competitive
with similarly sized electric utilities.  A significant portion of management
compensation should be tied to achievement of corporate goals in order to
maintain a sharp focus on performance and to consistently align the interest
of management and the System's constituencies, i.e. shareholders, consumers,
and employees.  An ever higher percentage of total compensation should be at
risk as one moves upward through management.  The critical feature of the
System's executive compensation program is that a system has been employed in
which the amount of such compensation is driven by the System's performance
relative to that of other utilities.  The compensation of the CEO is based on
the same considerations and structure as that of the other executive officers. 
(Since the total compensation for any of the System's executive officers is
still significantly below the $1 million threshold at which tax deductions are
limited under the recent revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, the Committee
has not had to address issues related thereto.)

    The NEES Board of Directors votes the compensation of Mr. Rowe and Mrs.
Bok, acting upon recommendations of the NEES Compensation Committee.  The
Board of Directors unanimously accepted each of the recommendations made by
the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee votes the compensation
of all other System executive officers.
<PAGE>
Base Salary
- -----------

    Base Salary levels are established after consideration of the appropriate
market to determine the average or mid-point of the salary range for a
position.  Extensive salary survey analyses are compiled and presented to the
Committee for review.  Salary ranges are then defined using market salaries as
the midpoints of the ranges.  Base salaries of System executives are brought
to range mid-points in appropriate steps and then capped at the mid-point. 
Salary ranges are reviewed annually to ensure competitiveness with the market
for utilities with comparable revenues.  (The utility group used for most
salary range valuations is different from that used for incentive compensation
plan comparisons and from that shown in the corporate performance chart, which
include utilities having different revenue profiles than the System.)

    In November 1992, the Compensation Committee reviewed marketplace surveys
to evaluate whether or not salary ranges should be moved for 1993.  It was
determined that the System's range structure was generally competitive with
the marketplace, and the Committee voted to retain the 1992 salary range
structure.  This resulted in freezing the base salaries of the senior
executives for 1993.  Based upon the increased responsibility he assumed 
following the corporate reorganization, the Committee authorized an increase
for Mr. Tranen.

Performance Based Incentive Compensation
- ----------------------------------------

    Performance Based Incentive Compensation (at risk compensation or bonus)
is designed to deliver rewards above base salary, if the System and the
individual executives perform well.

    The incentive components of the compensation plans are based on formulae
with difficult threshold targets.  In order for any incentive compensation to
be awarded under the formulae, the System must achieve a return on equity that
places NEES in the top 45% (50% commencing in 1994) of the approximately 90
electric utilities listed in the Duff & Phelps Utility Group (the National
Grouping) or in the top 50% of the New England/New York regional utilities
(the Regional Grouping).  The Board of Directors, in response to extraordinary
events, may enhance or curtail the actual return on equity used to determine
whether the System met the targets.  They did not do so for 1993.

    For the maximum incentive to be awarded, NEES must achieve a return on
equity in the top 25% of both the National and Regional Groupings and the
System's cost per kilowatthour must be the lowest or next to lowest of a
selected New England electric utility group.  In 1993, if only one of the
minimum targets had been met, Mr. Rowe would have received a bonus (cash and
incentive shares as described below) of 19% of base pay.  If the maximum
targets had been achieved, his formula bonus (cash and shares) would have been
76% of base pay.

    No bonus awards are made if earnings after bonuses are not sufficient to
cover dividends, even if the return on equity targets are met.  This insures
that shareholders will receive an adequate return, before any incentive
compensation awards are made.

    Mr. Rowe's (and Mrs. Bok's for 1993) bonus under the plan is directly
related to achievement of the above described corporate targets.  The
incentive compensation plan bonuses of the other executives are additionally
dependent upon the achievement of individual goals.

    Based upon information available at the time of determining bonus amounts,
in 1993 NEES placed in the 68th and the 75th percentiles in return on
shareholder equity of the National and Regional Groupings, respectively.  The
System placed in the lowest one-third of the Regional Grouping with respect to
customer cost per kilowatthour in 1993.  The Committee considered the superior
<PAGE>
returns on equity, the success of the corporate reorganization, the
improvements in customer service, and the improvement in the System's safety
record.  The Committee determined that the extraordinary efforts applied in
1993 by Mr. Rowe and Mrs. Bok (as well as contributions of other officers) to
make these achievements possible were not adequately reflected in the
incentive compensation plan formula awards and merited additional cash awards
for 1993.

    The cash portions of the incentive compensation formulae are driven by
annual measurements of the shareholder return on equity and customer cost of
electricity.  In order to provide a long-term component which is reflective of
the shareholder total return, the participants in the incentive compensation
plans are awarded NEES common shares under an incentive share plan, approved
by the NEES shareholders in 1990.  The shares are generally restricted against
sale for five years.  Shares are only awarded against incentive compensation
plan cash awards generated by the formulae.  No discretion is exercised by the
Committee in the awarding of these restricted shares.  An individual's award
of shares under the incentive share plan is a fixed percentage of her or his
cash award for that year from the incentive compensation plan in which she or
he participates.  For Mr. Rowe, the percentage was 90% for 1993.  (In response
to changes in the federal tax law, the incentive compensation plans and the
incentive share plan were amended to provide fewer shares and more cash
commencing in 1994.  Therefore, for 1994 that percentage will be 60%.)  If no
cash award is made, no shares are distributed.  Further, total awards of
shares in any calendar year cannot exceed one-half of one percent (0.5%) of
the number of outstanding shares at the end of the previous calendar year. 
(The incentive shares awarded for 1993 were 0.06% of the number of outstanding
shares.)

    On February 3 and 21, the NEES Compensation Committee approved the bonuses
reflected in the NEES Summary Compensation Table.  Mr. Rowe's and Mrs. Bok's
bonuses, as recommended by the Committee, were voted by the Board on February
22, 1994.


Benefits

    The executive benefits are designed both to provide a competitive package
and to retain System flexibility in staffing management to meet changing
conditions.  See Plan Summaries and Retirement Plans, above.

    The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Joskow, McLane, Soule, and
Winoker.  Mr. Joskow serves as the Chairman of this Committee.  The Audit
Committee reviews with the independent public accountants the scope of their
audit and management's financial stewardship for the current and prior years. 
This Committee also selects and recommends, subject to the Board of Directors'
approval, the independent public accountants to be engaged for the coming
year.

    The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Kucharski, Mirando,
Sage, and Winoker.  Mr. Sage serves as the Chairman of this Committee.  The
Compensation Committee is responsible for executive compensation, including
the administration of certain of NEES' incentive compensation plans.

    The members of the Corporate Responsibility Committee are Mrs. Bok,
Mr. McClure, Mr. Rowe, Ms. Wexler, and Mr. Wilson.  Mr. Wilson serves as the
Chairman of this Committee.  The Corporate Responsibility Committee is
responsible for reviewing compliance with laws and regulations, offering
guidance in considering public policy issues, and helping to assure ethical
conduct.

    The Chairman of the Executive Committee receives an annual retainer of
$7,000.  Other members of the Executive Committee, except Mr. Rowe, receive an
annual retainer of $5,000.  The Chairman of the Audit, Compensation, and
Corporate Responsibility Committees each receives an annual retainer of
$6,000.  Other members of these Committees, except Mr. Rowe, receive annual
retainers of $4,000.  All directors, except Mr. Rowe, participating in a
Committee meeting, receive a meeting fee of $850 plus expenses.

    Members of the Board of Directors, except Mr. Rowe, receive annually a
retainer of $14,000 and 200 common shares of NEES, and a meeting fee of $850
plus expenses.

    NEES permits directors to defer all or a portion of any retainers and
meeting fees under a deferred compensation plan.  Under the plan, at
retirement directors may elect to receive lump sum payments of all amounts
deferred with interest, or either lifetime annuities or ten year annuities,
depending upon the specific deferral arrangement.  A special account is
maintained on NEES' books showing the amounts deferred and the interest
accrued thereon.  This plan also provides certain death and disability
benefits.  Group life insurance of $72,000 is provided to each member of the
Board of Directors.

    The Board of Directors held seven meetings in 1993.  The Executive, Audit,
Compensation, and Corporate Responsibility Committees held two, four, four,
and three meetings, respectively, in 1993.  All directors attended at least
75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the
committees of which they were members, with the exception of Mr. Kucharski who
attended 64%.

Mass. Electric and Narragansett Directors' Compensation
- -------------------------------------------------------

    Members of the Mass. Electric and Narragansett Boards of Directors, except
Dickson, McCabe, Rowe, and Sergel receive a quarterly retainer of $1,250, a
meeting fee of $600 plus expenses, and 50 NEES common shares each year.  Since
all members of the NEP Board are employees of NEES System companies, no fees
are paid for service on the Board except as noted below for Mrs. Bok.

    Mrs. Bok retired as an employee of the NEES companies on January 1, 1994
(remaining as Chairman of NEES and a director for NEES subsidiaries).  Mrs.
Bok has agreed to waive the normal fees and annual retainers otherwise payable
for services by non-employees on NEES subsidiary boards and will receive in
lieu thereof a single annual stipend of $60,000.  Mrs. Bok also became a
consultant to NEES as of January 1, 1994.  Under the terms of her contract,
she will receive an annual retainer of $100,000.  No payments were made in
1993 pursuant to these arrangements.

               January 13, 1992.  SEC approval was given under the Public
               Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 on September 4, 1992 for
               NEES to initially finance NEERI and for NEERI to engage in
               consulting services.  On April 1, 1994, the SEC issued an
               additional order allowing NEERI to expand the types of
               services it may offer to include performance of electrical
               related services and to approve additional capital
