_______________, 200_
The Connecticut Light and Power Company ("CLP"), 107 Selden Street,
Berlin, Connecticut 06037, Western Massachusetts Electric Company ("WME"),
174 Brush Hill Avenue, West Springfield, Massachusetts 01090, and Public
Service Company of New Hampshire ("PSC"), 1000 Elm Street, Manchester, New
Hampshire 03101 (collectively "Applicants"), each an electric utility
subsidiary of Northeast Utilities ("NU"), a registered holding company, have
filed an application-declaration under sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10, 12(f),
12(g) and 13(b) of the Act and rules 90 and 91 under the Act.
By order dated December __, 2000 (HCAR No, _____) ("Order"), the
Commission authorized CLP to cause the issuance of rate reduction bonds in a
principal amount not to exceed $1.489 billion, the amount for which CLP
sought authorization in the application-declaration as originally filed and
which was referenced in the Commission's notice with respect to the
application-declaration, HCAR No. 27222 (August 25, 2000) ("Initial Notice").
In the Order, the Commission also authorized PSC to cause the issuance of
rate reduction bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $670 million and
reserved jurisdiction over the proposed transaction for WME.
By amendments to the application-declaration, Applicants state that in
its order approving CLP's proposed transaction, the Connecticut Department of
Public Utility Control authorized CLP to cause the issuance of rate reduction
bonds in an amount not to exceed $1.551 billion, which is greater than the
$1.489 billion authorization granted in the Order for CLP and referenced in
the Initial Notice. Accordingly, by such amendments it is now proposed that
the Commission authorize CLP to cause the issuance of rate reduction bonds in
a principal amount not to exceed $1.551 billion.
