     This Amendment No. 11 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, as
previously amended (the "Statement"), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by NRG Energy, Inc. ("NRG") and Northern States Power
Company with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Cogeneration Corporation of America (the "Company").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Statement.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          Item 5 in the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted in its entirety and
          the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

          (a)  For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
               Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
               "Exchange Act") and prior to the Effective Time (as
               hereafter defined), each of the Reporting Persons had shared
               voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to
               (and therefore beneficially owned) 3,106,612 shares of
               Common Stock representing approximately 45.3% of the
               outstanding Common Stock.

               Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), neither of the
               Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common
               Stock.

          (b)  Prior to the Effective Time (as hereafter defined), each of
               the Reporting Persons had shared power to vote or to direct
               the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the
               disposition of 3,106,612 shares of Common Stock.

          (c)  Other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the
               Stockholders Agreement, no transactions in the Common Stock
               have been effected since August 26, 1999 by any Reporting
               Person.

          (d)  Not applicable.

          (e)  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the
               Effective Time (as hereafter defined), 1,406,612 shares of
               Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons have been
               contributed to Merger Sub. Upon the Effective Time, all of
               the shares of Common Stock held by Merger Sub were
               cancelled. The remaining 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock
               were retained by NRG and, upon the Effective Time, were
               converted into the right to receive $25.00 per share in
               cash, without interest. See Item 6.
<PAGE>
ITEM 6.        CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
               RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, NRG contributed
               1,406,612 shares of Common Stock to Merger Sub immediately
               prior to the Effective Time (as hereafter defined) in
               exchange for 20% of the common stock of Merger Sub. The
               Merger Agreement provided for Merger Sub to merge with and
               into the Company, with the Company continuing as the
               surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving
               Corporation"). On December 17, 1999 (the "Effective Time"),
               Merger Sub filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary
               of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Merger
               Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding share of
               Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock held by
               Merger Sub and shares of Common Stock held by stockholders
               properly exercising appraisal rights under the laws of the
               State of Delaware) was converted into a right to receive
               $25.00 in cash, without interest. Pursuant to the Merger
               Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock
               of Merger Sub was converted into and became one fully-paid
               and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving
               Corporation.

               On December 17, 1999, the Company informed The Nasdaq
               National Stock Market, Inc. of the Merger and requested the
               delisting of the Common Stock effective as of December 17,
               1999.

               On December 17, 1999, the Company filed a Certification and
               Notice of Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of
               the Exchange Act on Form 15 ("Form 15") with the Commission.
               Pursuant to Rule 12g-4 of the Exchange Act, termination of
               registration shall take effect in 90 days thereafter;
               however, Company's duty to file any reports required under
               the Exchange Act was immediately suspended upon filing the
               Form 15.
