SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
OF 1995

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act), ESI Tractebel Funding Corp.
(Funding Corp.), Northeast Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership (NEA)
and North Jersey Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership (NJEA)
(collectively, the Partnerships), ESI Tractebel Acquisition Corp.
(Acquisition Corp.) and Northeast Energy, LP (NE LP) (all five entities
collectively, the Registrants) are hereby filing cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause the Registrants' actual
results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements (as such term is defined in the Reform Act) made by or on behalf
of the Registrants in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, in
response to questions or otherwise. Any statements that express, or involve
discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or
future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of
words or phrases such as will likely result, are expected to, will
continue, is anticipated, estimated, projection, outlook) are not
statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties. Accordingly,
any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and
are accompanied by, the following important factors that could cause the
Registrants' actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Registrants.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such
statement is made, and the Registrants undertake no obligation to update
any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the
date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not
possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess
the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements
include changes in laws or regulations, changing governmental policies and
regulatory actions, including those of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as
amended, acquisition, disposal, depreciation and amortization of assets and
facilities, operation and construction of plant facilities, recovery of
fuel and purchased power costs, and present or prospective competition.

The business and profitability of the Registrants are also influenced by
economic and geographic factors including political and economic risks,
changes in and compliance with environmental and safety laws and policies,
weather conditions, population growth rates and demographic patterns,
competition for retail and wholesale customers, availability, pricing and
transportation of fuel and other energy commodities, market demand for
energy from plants or facilities, changes in tax rates or policies or in
rates of inflation or in accounting standards, unanticipated delays or
changes in costs for capital projects, unanticipated changes in operating
expenses and capital expenditures, capital market conditions, competition
for new energy development opportunities and legal and administrative
proceedings (whether civil, such as environmental, or criminal) and
settlements.

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties which may
materially affect actual results, and are beyond the control of the
Registrants.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, combined financial
statements and financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
1999 Form 10-K for the Registrants.  In the opinion of the Registrants'
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been
made. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true
indication of results for the year.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Combined Financial Statements
and Notes to Financial Statements contained herein and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
appearing in the 1999 Form 10-K for the Registrants.  The results of
operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results
for the year.  In the following discussion, all comparisons are with the
corresponding items in the prior year.

Results of Operations

NE LP and the Partnerships - Revenues for the second quarter and year to
date decreased as a result of lower availability at the Bellingham, MA and
Sayreville, NJ facilities.  Availability was lower primarily because of an
eleven day forced outage at the Bellingham, MA facility for transmission
interconnect maintenance and upgrades.  Revenues include power sales to
utilities which reflect changes in utility energy bank balances.  The
changes in the energy bank balances, which increased reported revenues, are
determined in accordance with scheduled or specified rates under certain
power purchase agreements.

Fuel expense for the second quarter and year to date (excluding $5.2
million of deferred credit amortization for fuel contracts for the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and excluding $10.4 million of deferred credit
amortization for fuel contracts for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999) increased primarily as a result of the increased price of natural gas
required to fuel the facilities.

Operations and maintenance expense for the second quarter and year to date
increased primarily as a result of annual maintenance costs incurred in
connection with the operation of the facilities and increased costs
associated with the eleven day forced outage mentioned above.

Interest expense of NE LP and the Partnerships for the second quarter and
year to date decreased as a result of decreasing principal balances on the
notes payable.

The Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp. - The Funding Corp. made semi-
annual debt principal payments and debt interest payments of $13.2 million
and $21.0 million, respectively, in June 2000.  The Acquisition Corp. made
a semi-annual debt interest payment of $8.8 million in June 2000.  Interest
expense for the Funding Corp. for the second quarter and year to date
decreased as a result of decreasing principal balances on the securities
payable.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrants - Cash flow generated by the Partnerships year to date has
been and is expected to remain sufficient for at least the next twelve
months to fund operating expenses of the Registrants as well as fund the
debt service requirements of the Funding Corp. and the Acquisition Corp.
