Item 1. Description of Proposed Transactions
---------------------------------------------
This Application/Declaration relates to short-term borrowing by certain
subsidiaries of NEES, for the period from November 1, 1995, through October
31, 1997. Granite, Mass. Electric, Narragansett, NEET, Mass. Hydro, NH Hydro,
NEP, and NEPSCO (the Borrowing Companies) seek authority to borrow money from
the NEES Money Pool (the Money Pool), and/or banks, and/or in the cases of
Mass. Electric, Narragansett, and NEP, to issue commercial paper, up to the
maximum amounts requested herein. Each of the companies listed on the cover
hereof, including NEES, (the Participating Companies) seeks authority to lend
money in the Money Pool under the current terms of the Money Pool (approved by
the Commission in its File No. 70-7765). The Commission's most recent order
in File No. 70-7765 was HCAR No. 35-25772, dated March 29, 1993. NEES has
filed an Application/Declaration with the Commission requesting approval for
its proposed acquisition of the Nantucket Electric Company (File No. 70-8675)
and as part of that Application/Declaration requests that Nantucket Electric
Company become a member of the Money Pool.
The Borrowing Companies currently have authority through October 31,
1995, to borrow up to the amounts shown in the table below. Each of the
Participating Companies currently has authority to participate as a lender in
the Money Pool through October 31, 1995 (File No. 70-8261).
During the period from November 1, 1995, through October 31, 1997, the
Borrowing Companies request borrowing authority up to the maximum outstanding
amounts shown below:
Borrowing Company Borrowing Authority
----------------- -------------------
Current Requested
------- ---------
Granite $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000
-------
Mass. Electric $150,000,000 $150,000,000
--------------
Narragansett $100,000,000 $100,000,000
------------
NEET $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000
----
Mass. Hydro $ 25,000,000 $ 25,000,000
-----------
NH Hydro $ 25,000,000 $ 25,000,000
--------
NEP $375,000,000 $375,000,000
---
NEPSCO $ 12,000,000 $ 25,000,000
------
The proceeds from the proposed borrowings are to be used (i) to pay then
outstanding notes initially issued to banks and/or dealers in commercial paper
and/or borrowings from the Money Pool, (ii) to provide new money for
capitalizable expenditures and/or to reimburse the treasury therefor, and
(iii) for other corporate purposes relating to ordinary business operations,
including working capital and the financing of construction and property
acquisitions.
<PAGE>
The Financial Statements 3(a) through 3(h), Sources and Applications of
Funds and Capitalization, show the expected short-term borrowing requirements
for the Borrowing Companies through December 31, 1997. In addition to the
expected short-term borrowing requirements shown in the Sources and
Applications of Funds and Capitalization, NEET, Mass. Hydro, and NH Hydro are
special purpose companies formed to own and operate the electric transmission
interconnection with Hydro Quebec and may need additional short-term borrowing
authority so that they may act quickly in response to unexpected emergencies
such as catastrophic damage to the transmission facilities. Therefore, NEET,
Mass. Hydro and NH Hydro request continued authorization to borrow amounts not
exceeding $10 million, $25 million and $25 million, respectively, to be
outstanding at any one time.
NEPSCO proposes to increase its current authorization of $12 million to
$25 million. This increase is necessary to provide flexibility in the
issuance of short-term debt which will become necessary when NEPSCO expends
its existing cash surplus to fund heretofore unfunded long-term employee
retirement benefits. NEPSCO's short term borrowing reached a maximum level of
$11,125,000 in 1994 and $10,950,000 in 1995. As a result of such funding and
based on past seasonal borrowing needs of NEPSCO, it is anticipated that
NEPSCO could experience short-term borrowing in the $25 million range after
such funding.
Neither NEES nor any subsidiary has an ownership interest in an exempt
wholesale generator ("EWG") or foreign utility company ("FUCO") as defined in
Sections 32 and 33 of the Act. Additionally, neither New England Electric
System nor any subsidiary is a party to, or has any rights under, a service,
sales, or construction agreement with an EWG or a FUCO. Although neither New
England Electric System nor any subsidiary has any current intention to secure
an ownership interest in an EWG or FUCO, NEES and NEP wish to retain the
flexibility to invest up to a total of $100 million in one or more EWGs or
FUCOs, subject to such further Commission rules and regulations and approvals
as may then be required.
As shown by the balance sheets of NEES and NEP (Financial Statements No.
1), NEES and NEP had $784,549,000 and $368,443,000 in retained earnings,
respectively, at June 30, 1995. Fifty percent of said amounts are
$392,275,000 and $184,222,000, respectively. Excluding the amount of the
maximum investment, the retained earnings would be $684,549,000 and
$268,443,000, respectively.
Borrowings from the Money Pool
------------------------------
The Borrowing Companies propose to reduce their need for outside
borrowing through the continued use of the Money Pool. Under the Money Pool,
surplus funds that may be available from day to day in the treasuries of the
Participating Companies are used to make loans to the Borrowing Companies in
need of short-term funds. The rate will be 108% of the monthly average of the
rate for high grade 30-day commercial paper sold through dealers by major
corporations as published in the "Wall Street Journal". Although there are no
stated maturities, the loans made by the Money Pool are payable on demand, and
may be prepaid by the borrower without penalty. Borrowings may, but need not
be, evidenced by notes. Borrowings will be available first to the wholly
owned subsidiaries of NEES (The Group I Borrowers). Thereafter, if the Money
Pool still has additional funds, these will be available to the non-wholly
owned subsidiaries of NEES (The Group II Borrowers) before external
investments are made. All funds borrowed by the Group II Borrowers will be
used for their own internal financing and will not be loaned to stockholders.
Each member determines each day, on the basis of cash flow projections, the
amount of surplus funds it has available for contribution to the Money Pool.
The surplus funds are transferred to an account of NEPSCO, which administers
and maintains as agent the Money Pool for the member companies. The current
terms of the Money Pool (authorized in Commission's File No. 70-7765) are
shown in Exhibit G.
<PAGE>
Borrowings from Banks
---------------------
The proposed borrowings by the Borrowing Companies from banks will be
evidenced by notes maturing in less than one year from the date of issuance.
The Borrowing Companies will negotiate with the banks the interest costs of
such borrowings. The Borrowing Companies pay fees to the banks in lieu of
compensating balance arrangements. The effective interest cost of borrowings
from a bank will not exceed the greater of the bank's base or prime lending
rate, or the rate published in the "Wall Street Journal" as the high federal
funds rate, plus, in either case, one percent. Based on the current base
lending rate of 8.75% and an equivalent or lower high federal funds rate, the
effective interest costs of such a borrowing today would not exceed 9.75% per
annum.
Certain of such borrowings may be without prepayment privileges.
Payment of any short-term promissory notes prior to maturity will be made on
the basis most favorable to the Borrowing Companies, taking into account fixed
maturities, interest rates, and any other relevant financial considerations.
The Borrowing Companies have made arrangements with certain banks for
lines of credit, for various purposes, including support of commercial paper.
Sale of Commercial Paper to Dealers
-----------------------------------
Mass. Electric, Narragansett, and NEP propose to issue and sell
commercial paper directly to one or more nationally recognized commercial
paper dealers (CP Dealer). Initially the CP Dealer will be CS First Boston
Corporation and/or Merrill Lynch Money Markets Incorporated, but this may
change as warranted.
The commercial paper so issued and sold will satisfy the requirements of
Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and be in the form of unsecured
promissory notes having varying maturities of not in excess of 270 days.
Actual maturities will be determined by market conditions, the effective
interest cost to the issuer, and the issuer's cash requirements at the time of
issuance. The commercial paper will be in denominations of not less than
$50,000. The terms of the commercial paper will not provide for prepayment
prior to maturity. The commercial paper will be purchased by the CP Dealer
from the issuer at a discount which will not be in excess of the discount then
prevailing for commercial paper of comparable quality and maturity which is
sold by public utility issuers to commercial paper dealers. The CP Dealer
will initially reoffer the commercial paper at a discount rate not more than
1/8 of 1% per annum less than the prevailing discount rate to the issuer.
The effective interest cost to the issuer of commercial paper will
generally not exceed the effective interest cost of the base lending rate at
The First National Bank of Boston. However, the effective interest cost of
such paper is based on the supply of, and demand for, that and similar paper
at the time of sale. Specifically, on several previous occasions short-term
money markets have become very volatile during brief periods of extraordinary
demand, and the interest costs of commercial paper have exceeded bank base
rates. Bank borrowing agreements, under which the Borrowing Companies must
borrow as an alternative to selling commercial paper, generally provide that
the interest rate of such borrowings shall be the then current money market
rate. Although under the described circumstances the interest cost of
commercial paper may exceed the bank base rate, it may still be less than the
alternative money market rates at which the Borrowing Companies would
otherwise then be forced to borrow. Likewise, the Borrowing Companies may be
able to negotiate a shorter borrowing period in the commercial paper market
than from banks. Because such volatile market conditions usually exist for
brief periods, it is not anticipated that any sale of commercial paper with
interest costs in excess of bank base rates would have a significant marginal
impact on the annual interest cost of the Borrowing Companies. Therefore,
while it is not anticipated that the effective annual cost of borrowing
<PAGE>
through commercial paper will exceed the annual base rate borrowing from the
First National Bank of Boston, in order to obtain maximum flexibility during
the periods described above, commercial paper may be issued with a maturity of
not more than 90 days with an effective cost in excess of the then-existing
lending rate.
Mass. Electric, Narragansett, and NEP will issue commercial paper or
borrow from banks if there are not sufficient surplus funds available from the
Money Pool to meet their needs. The decision to borrow from banks or issue
commercial paper will be based on the cost of such funds and their
availability for the anticipated borrowing period.
Filing of Certificates of Notification
--------------------------------------
Within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter, the Participating
Companies will file a certificate of notification covering the transactions
effected pursuant to the authority requested herein during such quarter. Such
certificate will show the names of the borrowers, and for each borrower, the
dates and amounts of all new money borrowings, whether by issuance of notes to
banks, or by sale of commercial paper (including money borrowed from banks to
pay the Money Pool or CP Dealers, or borrowed from the Money Pool to pay banks
or CP Dealers, or borrowed by sale of commercial paper to pay the Money Pool
or banks), the names of the lenders, the maximum concurrent amount of notes
outstanding to banks, the Money Pool and CP Dealers, the aggregate total
outstanding at any one time, and the aggregate total outstanding at the end of
such quarter. Each certificate will include, with respect to the issue and
sale of commercial paper, the effective interest cost for such promissory note
issued as commercial paper. In addition, such certificate shall include a
statement of whether any of the funds borrowed under this Order were paid by a
subsidiary company to NEES through dividends for the purpose of NEES acquiring
an interest in an exempt wholesale generator or foreign utility company. The
amount of such dividend payment must be given. The final certificate of
notification will be accompanied by the required past tense opinion of
counsel.
Item 2. Fees, Commissions and Expenses
---------------------------------------
Based upon the existing lines of credit at June 30, 1995, the
annualized cost of the fees to banks described in "Borrowings from Banks",
above, would be $479,000. If the same lines were maintained over the two year
requested authority, the total of these fees would be $958,000. There are no
other fees or commissions, other than filing fees, to be paid in connection
with the proposed transactions; incidental services will be performed by
NEPSCO at the actual cost thereof. NEPSCO is an affiliated service company
operating pursuant to Section 13 of the Act and the Commission's rules
thereunder. The cost of such services is estimated not to exceed $550 for
each of the parties to this Application/Declaration or an aggregate of
approximately $6,000, of which it is estimated $1,000 will be incurred by the
Executive and Administrative Department, $2,500 by the Corporate Department
(including attorneys), and $2,500 by the Treasury Department (including
accountants). The only other expense to be borne by each of the companies is
their pro rata share of the $2,000 filing fee under the Act. Based on the
foregoing assumptions, the total fees, commissions, and expenses will be
$966,000.
Item 3. Applicable Statutory Provisions
----------------------------------------
(1) The issuance of notes by the Borrowing Companies to banks: Sections
6(a) and 7 of the Act.
(2) The issue and sale of notes by Mass. Electric, Narragansett, and NEP
to CP Dealers: Section 6(a) and 7 of the Act.

PROPOSED FORM OF NOTICE
New England Electric System ("NEES"), a registered holding company,
and ten of its subsidiaries, Granite State Electric Company ("Granite"),
Massachusetts Electric Company ("Mass. Electric"), The Narragansett
Electric Company ("Narragansett"), Narragansett Energy Resources Company
("NERC"), New England Electric Transmission Corporation ("NEET"), New
England Energy Incorporated ("NEEI"), New England Hydro-Transmission
Electric Company, Inc. ("Mass. Hydro"), New England Hydro Transmission
Corporation ("NH Hydro"), New England Power Company ("NEP") and New
England Power Service Company ("NEPSCO"), 25 Research Drive, Westborough,
Massachusetts 01582, have filed an application/declaration with this
Commission pursuant to Sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10, and 12 of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 ("Act") and Rules 42, 43, and 45
thereunder.
Granite, Mass. Electric, Narragansett, NEET, Mass. Hydro, NH Hydro,
NEP, and NEPSCO (the "Borrowing Companies") propose, through October 31,
1997, to borrow from NEES Money Pool and/or banks and, in the cases of
Mass. Electric, Narragansett, and NEP, to issue commercial paper, up to
the following maximum outstanding amounts: Granite - $10,00,000; Mass.
Electric - $150,000,000; Narragansett - $100,000,000; NEET - $10,000,000;
Mass. Hydro - $25,000,000; NH Hydro - $25,000,000; NEP - $375,000,000; and
NEPSCO - $25,000,000. The proceeds of the proposed borrowings are to be
used (i) to pay then outstanding notes initially issued to banks and/or
dealers in commercial paper and/or borrowings from the Money Pool, (ii) to
provide new money for capitalizable expenditures and/or to reimburse the
treasury therefor, and (iii) for other corporate purposes.
The Borrowing Companies propose to reduce their need for outside
borrowing through the continued use of the NEES Money Pool. Under the
Money Pool, surplus funds that may be available from day to day in the
treasuries of NEES and certain of the NEES subsidiaries are used to make
loans to subsidiaries in need of the short-term funds. The rate will be
108% of the monthly average of the rate for high grade 30-day commercial
paper sold through dealers by major corporations as published in the Wall
Street Journal.
The proposed borrowings by the Borrowing Companies from banks will be
evidenced by notes maturing in less than one year from the date of
issuance. The Borrowing Companies will negotiate with the banks the
interest costs of such borrowings. The Borrowing Companies pay fees to
the banks in lieu of compensating balance arrangements. The effective
interest cost of borrowings from a bank will not exceed the greater of the
bank's base or prime lending rate, or the rate published in the Wall
Street Journal as the high federal funds rate, plus, in either case, one
percent. Based on the current base lending rate of 8.75% and an
equivalent or lower high federal funds rate, the effective interest costs
of such borrowing today would not exceed 9.75% per annum.
The commercial paper proposed to be issued and sold by Mass.
Electric, Narragansett, and NEP will be in the form of unsecured
promissory notes having varying maturities of not in excess of 270 days.
