        following the quarter in which the rule becomes effective shall
        constitute the initial period for which any report shall be filed,
        if applicable.

    2.  The requirement to provide specific information by means of this form
        supersedes any requirement by order of the Commission to provide
        identical information by means of periodic certificates under rule
        24; but does not so supersede and replace any requirement by order to
        provide information by means of an annual report on Form U-13-60.

    3.  Information with respect to reporting companies that is required by
        Form U-13-60 shall be provided exclusively on that form.

    4.  Notwithstanding the specific requirements of this form, this
        Commission may informally request such further information as, in its
        opinion, may be necessary or appropriate.

B.  Statements of Monetary Amounts and Deficits

    1.  Amounts included in this form and in related financial statements may
        be expressed in whole dollars, thousands of dollars or hundred
        thousands of dollars.

    2.  Deficits and other similar entries shall be indicated by either
        brackets or parentheses.  An explanation should be provided by
        footnote.

C.  Formal Requirements

    This form, including exhibits, shall be filed with Commission
    electronically pursuant to Regulation S-T(17 CFR 232.10 et seq.).

    utility company that is an associate company of a reporting company.
    Each report shall provide the name and telephone number of the person
    to whom inquiries concerning the report should be directed.

D.  Definitions

    As used in this form, the word "reporting company" means an energy-related
    company or gas-related company, as defined in rule 58(b).  All other words
    and terms have the same meaning as in the Public Utility Holding Company

1.  About Northeast Utilities

Northeast Utilities (NU) is the parent company of the Northeast Utilities
system (NU system).  The NU system's regulated utilities furnish franchised
retail electric service in Connecticut, New Hampshire and western Massachusetts
through three wholly owned subsidiaries:  The Connecticut Light and Power
Company (CL&P), Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) and Western
Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO).  Another wholly owned subsidiary, North
Atlantic Energy Corporation, sells all of its entitlement to the capacity and
output of the Seabrook Station nuclear unit (Seabrook) to PSNH under the terms
of two life-of-unit, full cost recovery contracts.  A fifth wholly owned
subsidiary, Holyoke Water Power Company, also is engaged in the production and
distribution of electric power.

Several wholly owned subsidiaries of NU provide support services for the NU
system companies and, in some cases, for other New England utilities.
Northeast Utilities Service Company provides centralized accounting,
administrative, information resources, engineering, financial, legal,
operational, planning, purchasing, and other services to the NU system
companies.  Northeast Nuclear Energy Company acts as agent for the NU system
companies and other New England utilities in operating the Millstone nuclear
units.  North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation has operational
responsibility for Seabrook.  Three other subsidiaries construct, acquire or
lease some of the property and facilities used by the NU system companies.

NU Enterprises, Inc. (NUEI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of NU and acts as
the holding company for certain of NU's competitive energy subsidiaries.
Northeast Generation Company (NGC) was formed to acquire and manage
generation facilities.  Select Energy, Inc. (Select Energy), Select Energy
Portland Pipeline, Inc. (SEPPI), Northeast Generation Services Company and
its subsidiaries (NGS), HEC Inc. and its subsidiaries (HEC), and Mode 1
Communications, Inc., engage in a variety of energy-related and

1,289 megawatts (MW) of capacity and energy significantly reduced the load-
following risk and allowed Select Energy to better manage its portfolio
profitability.  On January 1, 2000, Select Energy began serving one-half of
CL&P's standard offer requirement for a 4-year period.  Select Energy's
obligation to service this load requirement was approximately 2,000 MW

choose their electric supplier.  In addition, beginning in January 2000,
Select Energy assumed responsibility for serving 30 market based wholesale
contracts, totaling approximately 500 MW, throughout New England with
electric energy supply that was previously provided by CL&P and WMECO.

14.  Presentation

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

15.  Market Risk And Risk Management Instruments

Select Energy provides both firm requirement energy services to its customers
and performs energy trading and marketing activities.  Select Energy manages
its exposure to risk from existing contractual commitments and provides risk
management services to its customers through forward contracts, futures,
over-the-counter swap agreements, and options (commodity derivatives).

Select Energy has utilized the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose
the quantitative information for the commodity price risks.  Sensitivity
analysis provides a presentation of the potential loss of future earnings,
fair values or cash flows from market risk-sensitive instruments over a
selected time period due to one or more hypothetical changes in commodity
prices, or other similar price changes.

Commodity Price Risk - Trading Activities:  As a market participant in the
Northeast area of the United States, Select Energy conducts commodity-trading
activities in electricity and its related products, oil and natural gas and
therefore experiences net open positions.  Select Energy manages these open
positions with strict policies which limit its exposure to market risk and
require daily reporting to management of potential financial exposure.
Commodity derivatives utilized for trading purposes are accounted for using
the mark-to-market method, under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-10,
"Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities."  Under this
methodology, these instruments are adjusted to market value, and the
unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the current period in
the statements of income as operating expenses - other and in the balance
sheets as prepayments and other.  The mark-to-market position at December 31,
2000, was a positive $13.8 million.

Under sensitivity analysis, the fair value of the portfolio is a function of
the underlying commodity, contract prices and market prices represented by
each derivative commodity contract.  For swaps, forward contracts and
options, market value reflects management's best estimates considering over-
the-counter quotations, time value and volatility factors of the underlying
commitments.  Exchange-traded futures and options are subject to market,
based on closing exchange prices.

As of December 31, 2000, Select Energy has calculated the market price
resulting from a 10 percent unfavorable change in forward market prices.
That 10 percent change would result in approximately a $1 million decline in
the fair value of the Select Energy trading portfolio.  In the normal course
of business, Select Energy also faces risks that are either nonfinancial or
nonquantifiable.  Such risks principally include credit risk, which is not
reflected in the sensitivity analysis above.

Commodity Price Risk - Nontrading Activities:  Select Energy utilizes
derivative financial and commodity instruments (derivatives), including
futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk associated with
fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas sold under firm
commitments with certain customers.  Select Energy also utilizes derivatives,
including price swap agreements, call and put option contracts, and futures
and forward contracts, to manage the market risk associated with a portion of
its anticipated supply requirements.

Gains or losses on derivatives associated with firm commitments are
recognized as adjustments to cost of sales or revenues when the associated
transactions affect earnings.  Gains and losses on derivatives associated
with forecasted transactions are recognized when such forecasted transactions
affect earnings.  If a derivative instrument is terminated early because it
is probable that a transaction or forecasted transaction will not occur, any
gain or loss as of such date is immediately recognized in earnings.

When conducting sensitivity analysis of the change in the fair value of
Select Energy's electricity, oil and natural gas portfolio, which would
result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity,
oil and natural gas, the fair value of the contracts are determined from
models which take into account estimated future market prices of electricity,
oil and natural gas, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as
well as the time value factors of the underlying commitments.  In most
instances, market prices and volatility are determined from quoted prices on
the futures exchange.

Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its
nontrading electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent
unfavorable change in forward market prices.  As of December 31, 2000, an
unfavorable 10 percent change in forward market price would have resulted in
a decrease in fair value of approximately $52 million.

The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select
Energy's nontrading contracts on December 31, 2000, is not necessarily
representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts go
to eventual physical delivery.

Select Energy also maintains natural gas service agreements with certain
customers to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2003.
Select Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through
NYMEX contracts.  Under these contracts, the purchase price of a specified
quantity of gas is effectively fixed over the term of the gas service
agreements, which extend through 2002.  As of December 31, 2000, the NYMEX
contracts had a notional value of $18.8 million and a positive mark-to-market
position of $14.9 million.

16.  Special Deposits

Special deposits include cash collateral posted in connection with various
power purchase and sales agreements.

17.  Advance from Parent, Non-Interest Bearing

Select Energy received cash advances totaling $29.4 million  from NUEI during
1999 and intends to repay the advances upon acquisition of external financing
at an unspecified date in the future.  No interest is being accrued on these
transactions.  No advances were received during the three months ended
December 31, 2000.
