Item 5.   Other Events

On September 13, 1995, the shareholders of Northern States Power Company (NSP)
and Wisconsin Energy Corporation (WEC) voted, in their respective shareholder
meetings, to approve the proposed merger between the two companies and their
subsidiaries.  

As previously reported in NSP's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 28,
1995 and filed on May 3, 1995, and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-Q/A
for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively, the
merger agreement entered into by NSP and WEC provides for a strategic business
combination in a "merger-of-equals" transaction.  NSP anticipates consummation
of the merger transaction by the end of 1996, after completion of the
regulatory approval process.
