     New England Electric Resources, Inc. (NEERI), a wholly-owned,
non-utility subsidiary of New England Electric System (NEES), was
organized for the purpose of pursuing new business opportunities. 

     NEES is a registered holding company under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935 (the Act), owning electric company
subsidiaries, a service company subsidiary (New England Power
Service Company), and an energy company subsidiary (New England
Power) (collectively, the System).  

     Neither NEES nor any subsidiary has an ownership interest in
an exempt wholesale generator (EWG) or foreign utility company
(FUCO) as defined in Sections 32 and 33 of the Act.  Additionally,
neither NEES nor any subsidiary is a party to, or has any rights
under, a service, sales or construction agreement with an EWG or
FUCO.

     In File No. 70-7950, NEERI sought the Commission's
authorization to invest up to $10 million in research and
development activities.  As NEERI stated in its Form U-1, the
types of projects and technologies which it intended to pursue
"include, without limitation...Electro-technologies, energy
efficiency and power quality measures...Other developing
environmental, new generation and transmission technologies[.]" 
By its order dated February 23, 1995 (Release No. 35-26235), the
Commission authorized this activity.  Further, the Commission
authorized NEES to provide $10 million in financing to NEERI to
establish a research and development fund for these activities.  

     In its Application/Declaration on Form U-1, File No. 70-
7950, NEERI agreed "that any acquisition of securities by it using
any of the research and development funds requested herein will
remain subject to further Commission authorization."  By the
present filing, NEERI seeks to obtain Commission approval to
acquire the securities of a company developing a new generation
technology for the performance monitoring and risk management of
power turbines.

1.   Item 1: Description of Proposed Transaction
     -------------------------------------------

     NEERI seeks to invest in Monitoring Technology Corporation
(MTC), a Virginia corporation and the developer of a vibration
monitoring technology for the risk management and performance
monitoring of power turbines.  In return for NEERI's equity
investment of $500,000, MTC will 1) issue shares of preferred
stock and warrants to NEERI; 2) waive the participation fee,
currently estimated at $200,000, for NEERI's power company 
affiliate, New England Power (NEP), to participate as a testing
site for MTC's vibration monitoring technology; and 3) offer NEP
significant discounts on certain future services from MTC.

     The MTC Technology
     ------------------

     MTC is developing a method to read vibration frequency
"signatures" of power turbines and other turbomachines.  This
technology, referred to as Rotational Vibration Monitoring (RVM),
would enable turbine operators to monitor their machines during
normal operations and quantitatively analyze turbine performance
and predict mechanical problems.  This method of continuous,
automated on-line monitoring, when compared to present technology,
would result in 1) reduced turbine maintenance costs; 2) early
warning of some potential catastrophic failures; and 3) ultimately
more efficient turbine performance.  Current predictive
maintenance for turbines requires periodically taking the turbines
off-line, usually for several weeks at a time, to perform
inspections for potential problems.  This process is labor-
intensive and results in significant maintenance and associated
down-time costs, including the cost of purchasing replacement
power during the outage period.  Therefore, it is desirable to
encourage the development of new technologies, such as RVM, which
would enable power generators to manage the mechanical condition,
availability and performance of turbines in a more cost effective
and efficient manner.  While initially targeted at electric
utilities, RVM technology has the potential for further
application in other areas, such as propulsion and industrial
turbines.  

     New England Power, an affiliate of NEERI, operates a total of
fourteen combustion or steam turbines at three electrical
generation plants.  Outages for these turbines occur at an average
of once a year and last several weeks, at a cost (not including
replacement power costs) representing a significant portion of
plant operating budgets.  Further development in RVM technology is
therefore clearly functionally related to the System in that it
would benefit affiliates and their customers by reducing these
costs while increasing the availability and efficient performance
of power turbines.  Although NEP desires such continued
development, NEP does not believe that such development is an
appropriate risk to be borne by NEP's electric customers.  NEERI's
investment in MTC, as described below, includes the opportunity
for NEP to participate in MTC's product development beta program
at a minimal cost to NEP, while allowing NEERI to make a
potentially beneficial investment.  

     Purchase of Equity in MTC and NEP's Participation in the Beta
     Program
     --------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to an agreement (the Agreement) yet to be negotiated
with MTC, NEERI intends to invest $500,000 in MTC. In return for
NEERI's equity investment of $500,000, MTC will 1) issue shares of
preferred stock and warrants to NEERI; 2) waive the participation 
<PAGE>
PAGE 4

fee, currently estimated at $200,000, for New England Power (NEP),
to participate in MTC's beta program as an RVM testing site; and 3)
offer NEP significant discounts on future RVM services.  

     NEERI intends to purchase shares of MTC's convertible
preferred stock (the Shares) at a price of $1.75 per share, for a
total equity investment of $500,000.  NEERI's investment in the
Shares will result in NEERI's ownership of not more than 5% of the
voting securities of MTC. The Shares may be converted to shares of
common stock upon the closing of an initial public offering in
which MTC's proceeds from such offering are not less than $10
million and in which the share offering price is $3.50 or more. 
NEERI will also receive A and B warrants which will be exercisable
under certain terms and conditions to ensure that NEERI's
ownership does not exceed 5% of the voting securities of MTC.  Both
the Shares and warrants will have full ratchet anti-dilution
protection.
     
     In addition to the Shares and warrants, MTC will allow NEP,
NEERI's power company affiliate, to participate in MTC's RVM
development beta program.  MTC will waive the beta program
participation fee, currently estimated at $200,000, for NEP. NEP
will offer MTC access to one of its generating units and auxiliary
equipment to allow testing and development of RVM technology. 
Outside of this, NEP will allow MTC only limited access to other
station resources to support the beta program.  In return, NEP
will achieve its stated objective of participation in RVM product
development, and will also receive compensation for its
participation in the program in the form of future RVM service
discounts, should NEP decide to purchase any future RVM services
from MTC.  

     Finally, NEERI requests authority to invest up to an
additional $500,000 in MTC.  MTC, as a start-up company, has
limited financial resources to meet financial emergencies and is
likely to require additional investment prior to commercialization
of its product.  Therefore, NEERI wishes to be in a position to
make limited additional investments in a prompt manner. 

     Financing by NEES
     -----------------

     By Order dated February 23, 1995 (Release No. 35-26235), the
Commission authorized NEES to provide financing for NEERI's
research and development activities.  Specifically, the Commission
authorized NEES to provide financing to NEERI in an amount not to
exceed $10 million through non-interest bearing subordinated notes
or capital contributions.  Pursuant to this authorization, NEES
now proposes to provide financing for NEERI's development
activities related to the MTC project.  This financing will be 

<PAGE>
PAGE 5

accomplished through either capital contributions or non-interest
bearing subordinated notes, and will be credited against the $10
million amount previously authorized by the Commission.

2.   Item 2: Fees, Commissions and Expenses
     --------------------------------------

     Services incidental to the transactions described herein will
be performed by New England Power Service Company (NEPSCO) and
billed to NEERI at the actual cost thereof.  NEPSCO is an
affiliated service company operating pursuant to Section 13 of the
Act and the Commission's rules thereunder.  The cost of such
services to be paid by NEERI is not expected to exceed $5000.00, to
be incurred primarily by the Corporate Department (including
attorneys) and the Treasury Department (including accountants). 
These amounts include a $2,000.00 filing fee paid by wire transfer
to the Commission at the time of filing this
application/declaration.

3.   Item 3: Applicable Statutory Provisions
     ---------------------------------------

     Sections 9(a) and 10 are believed to be applicable to the
acquisition by NEERI of the securities of MTC.

4.   Item 4: Regulatory Approval
     ---------------------------

     No federal or state commission or regulatory body, other than
the Commission, has jurisdiction over the proposed transactions.

5.   Item 5: Procedure
     -----------------

     The applicants request that the Commission take action with
respect to this Application/Declaration without a hearing being
held, on or before March 15, 1996.

     The applicants (i) do not request a recommended decision by a
hearing officer; (ii) do not request a recommended decision by any
other responsible officer of the Commission; (iii) hereby specify
that the Division of Investment Management may assist in the
preparation of the Commission's decision; and (iv) hereby request
that there be no 30-day waiting period between the date of
issuance of the Commission's Order and the date on which it is to
become effective.

                     PROPOSED FORM OF NOTICE

     New England Electric Resources, Inc. (NEERI), a wholly-owned,
non-utility subsidiary of New England Electric System (NEES), has
filed Form U-1 Application/Declaration File No. 70-____ under
Sections 9(a) and 10 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935 (the Act).

     In File No. 70-7950, NEERI sought the Commission's
authorization to invest up to $10 million in research and
development activities.  As NEERI stated in its Form U-1, the types
of projects and technologies which it intended to pursue "include,
without limitation...Electro-technologies, energy efficiency and
power quality measures...Other developing environmental, new
generation and transmission technologies[.]"  By its order dated
February 23, 1995 (Release No. 35-26235), the Commission authorized
this activity.  Further, the Commission authorized NEES to provide
$10 million in financing to NEERI to establish a research and
development fund for these activities.  

     In its Application/Declaration on Form U-1, File No. 70-7950,
NEERI agreed "that any acquisition of securities by it using any of
the research and development funds requested herein will remain
subject to further Commission authorization."  NEERI now seeks to
obtain Commission approval to acquire the securities of a company
developing a new generation technology for the performance
monitoring and risk management of power turbines.  Pursuant to the
authority previously granted by the Commission, NEES proposes to
provide funding for this research and development activity.
