2.        A brief description of the properties of claimant and each of

          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.

fuel steam plants (as well as having a 25% interest in the Roseton
Steam Station and its output), two nuclear fuel steam plants,
various diesel generating units and 70 hydroelectric plants and had
a majority interest in Beebee and Feeder Dam Hydro Plants and their
output.  (NMPC also operates two other hydro facilities under

4.        The following information for the reporting period with
          respect to claimant and each interest it holds directly or
          indirectly in an EWG or a foreign utility company, stating
          monetary amounts in United States dollars:

          (a)       Name, location, business address and description of the
                    facilities used by the EWG or foreign utility company for
                    the generation, transmission and distribution of electric
                    energy for sale or for the distribution at retail of
                    natural or manufactured gas.

                    NMPC, CNP, and Opinac each own a direct or an indirect
                    interest in a wind power generating facility at Cowley
                    Ridge in the Province of Alberta, Canada, with a capacity
                    of approximately 18.9 MW (the "Facility") located at
                    Cowley Ridge, Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada.

          (b)       Name of each system company that holds an interest in
                    such EWG or foreign utility company; and description of
                    the interest held.

                    The Facility is jointly owned by Canadian Niagara Wind
                    Power Company, Inc. ("Wind Power Company") and Cowley
                    Ridge Partnership ("Cowley Partnership") via a joint
                    venture agreement.  Wind Power Company directly holds (in
                    trust for the benefit of the joint venture) the legal
                    title to the Facility.  Cowley Partnership beneficially
                    owns 99% of the property of the joint venture.  Wind
                    Power Company is a corporation incorporated under the
                    laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.  Cowley
                    Partnership is an Alberta general partnership.

                    In December of 1995, CNP acquired a 99.99% interest in
                    Wind Power Company and Cowley Partnership, respectively,
                    and a 100% interest in the joint venture which owns and
                    controls the Facility.  On October 10, 1996, Opinac sold
                    50% of its interest in CNP to Fortis, Inc.  Therefore, at
                    December 31, 1996, Opinac, a corporation incorporated
                    under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada has a
                    50% interest in CNP.  Opinac is a wholly-owned subsidiary
                    of NMPC.


          (c)       Type and amount of capital invested, directly or
                    indirectly, by the holding company claiming exemption;
                    any direct or indirect guarantee of the security of the
                    EWG or foreign utility company by the holding company
                    claiming exemption; and any debt or other financial
                    obligation for which there is recourse, directly or
                    indirectly, to the holding company claiming exemption or
                    another system company, other than the EWG or foreign
                    utility company.

                    $6,467,577 (see 4(d) below), was invested by CNP.

          (d)       Capitalization and earnings of the EWG or foreign utility
                    company during the reporting period.

                    Cowley Partnership:
                    Shareholder's Equity - $6,402,901
                    (Capital Stock - $6,865,139 and Accumulated Deficit-
                    ($462,238))

                    Wind Power Company:
                    Shareholder's Equity - $64,676
                    (Capital Stock - $69,345 and Accumulated Deficit-
                    ($4,669)).

          (e)       Identify any service, sales or construction contract(s)
                    between the EWG or foreign utility company and a system
                    company, and describe the services to be rendered or
                    goods sold and fees or revenues under such agreement(s).
