Re:  Northeast Utilities
     SEC File Number 70-09541

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am Assistant General Counsel of Northeast Utilities Service Company
("NUSCO"), a service company affiliate of Northeast Utilities ("NU").  I have
acted as counsel for NU and its subsidiaries who are parties to the
Application/Declaration on Form U-1 in File No. 70-09541 ("Declaration") in
connection with its filing on August 26, 1999 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") (NU and its subsidiaries who are parties to the
Declaration are referred to collectively herein as the "Applicants").  In the
Declaration, the Applicants sought the approval of the Commission for the
proposed transaction described therein ("Proposed Transactions").
Specifically, the Applicants sought Commission approval of (a) the payment of
dividends to, and/or the repurchase of stock from, each subsidiaries'
respective shareholder/parent company out of capital or unearned surplus by
each subsidiary, (b) the payment of dividends to, and/or the repurchase of
shares from, its shareholders out of capital or unearned surplus by NU; (c) the
issuance of additional shares by NU to the extent necessary to fulfill certain
of its obligations under one or more forward stock purchase contracts (the
"Forwards"); and (d) the payment of dividends and/or the repurchase of stock
out of capital or unearned surplus by The Connecticut Light and Power Company
to NU under its Mortgage Indenture dividend covenant (collectively, the
"Proposed Transactions").

In connection with this opinion, I have examined or caused to be examined by
counsel associated with or engaged by me, including counsel who are employed by
NUSCO, originals or copies certified to my satisfaction of such corporate
records of the Applicants, certificates of public officials and of officers
of the Applicants, and agreements, instruments and other documents, as I have
deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.  In my
examination of such agreements, instruments and documents, I have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all agreements, instruments
and documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original
agreements, instruments and documents of all agreements, instruments and
documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies.

The opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, the State of Connecticut and the federal laws of the United
States.  I am a member of the bar of the State of New York.  I am not a member
of the bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts nor of the bar of the State of
Connecticut, and do not hold myself out as an expert in the laws of such
Commonwealth and State.  In expressing opinions about matters governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I have consulted with counsel who
are employed by NUSCO and are members of the bar of such Commonwealth. In
expressing opinions about matters governed by the laws of the State of
Connecticut, I have consulted with counsel who are employed by NUSCO and are
members of the bar of such State.

I have assumed that the Proposed Transactions are carried out in conformity
with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each
as amended, and the requisite authorizations, approvals, consents or exemptions
under the securities laws of the various States and other jurisdictions of the
United States.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and assuming that the Proposed
Transactions are carried out in accordance with the Declaration, I am of the
opinion that, when the Commission shall have entered an order forthwith
granting the Declaration:

(a)  all State laws applicable to the Proposed Transactions will have been
complied with;

(b)  each of the Applicant is validly organized and existing under the laws
of its state of organization;

(c)  if, and when, issued pursuant to the Forwards, the common shares of NU
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders
thereof will be entitled to the rights and privileges appertaining thereto
set forth in the Declaration of Trust of NU;

(d)  the Applicants will legally acquire the shares of their respective stock
being repurchased from their respective shareholder; and

(e)  the consummation of the Proposed Transactions will not violate the legal
rights of the holders of any securities issued by NU or any associate
company thereof.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Declaration
and in any proceedings before the Commission that may be held in connection
therewith.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Jeffrey C. Miller
Jeffrey C. Miller
Assistant General Counsel
