FORM U-3A-2

STATEMENT BY HOLDING COMPANY CLAIMING EXEMPTION UNDER RULE U-3A-2
FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1935

To be filed Annually Prior to March 1

CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION
(Name of Company)

hereby files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Rule 2, its statement claiming exemption as a holding company from the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, and submits the following information:

  1. Name, State of organization, location and nature of business of claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other than any exempt wholesale generator ("EWG") or foreign utility company in which claimant directly or indirectly holds an interest.
  2. CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION

         Central Vermont Public Service Corporation ("CVPS" or the "Company"), incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont, has its principal executive office in Rutland, Vermont.

         The principal business of CVPS is the generation and purchase of electric energy and its transmission, distribution and sale for light, power, heat and other purposes to about 150,000 customers in Middlebury, Randolph, Rutland, Springfield, Windsor, Bradford, Bennington, Brattleboro, St. Johnsbury, St. Albans, Woodstock, Poultney, Manchester, and 163 other towns and villages in Vermont. CVPS also sells electric energy at wholesale in New Hampshire to Woodsville Fire District Water and Light Dept.; and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative Inc.; and, in Vermont to Rochester Electric Light and Power. It also buys and sells surplus or required power at market clearing prices in the default market through the New England Power Pool/Independent System Operator ("ISO-New England"), or with other third parties primarily in New England.

    CONNECTICUT VALLEY ELECTRIC COMPANY INC.

         Connecticut Valley Electric Company Inc. ("CVEC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVPS, incorporated under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, has its principal office in Rutland, Vermont.

         On December 31, 1949, CVEC acquired the business and properties of CVPS located in New Hampshire and used in carrying on the intrastate business of CVPS in that State. (See Form U-1 in File No. 70-2075)

         On January 1, 2004, CVEC sold its electric distribution facilities and franchise to Public Service Company of New Hampshire ("PSNH") (not an affiliate of CVPS). CVEC no longer conducts business as an electric utility in New Hampshire.

     

     

    - 1 -

         For financial reporting purposes, CVEC's financial data is included with CVPS on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    VERMONT ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC.

         Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. ("VELCO"), a subsidiary of which CVPS owns 48.5% of its outstanding Class B voting Common Stock, $100 Par Value, 31.45% of its outstanding Class C non-voting Common Stock and 48.03% of its outstanding Preferred Stock, $100 Par Value, incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont, has its principal office in the Town of Rutland, Vermont.

         VELCO operates pursuant to the terms of the 1985 Four-Party Agreement (as amended) with the Company and two other major distribution companies in Vermont. The Four-Party Agreement effectively restricts the Company's control of VELCO. The Four-Party Agreement continued in full force and effect until midnight June 30, 1985, and was extended thereafter as follows until June 30, 1986, with an automatic renewal from year to year unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to any succeeding anniversary, any party were to notify the other parties in writing that it desired to terminate the agreement as of such anniversary. By Amendment to the 1985 Four-Party Agreement dated February 1, 1987, the Agreement continued until May 1, 1987 and thereafter for additional two-year terms, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to any two-year anniversary, any party were to notify the other parties in writing that it desires to terminate the Agreement as of such anniversary. No such notificatio n has been filed by the parties.

         VELCO provides transmission services for the State of Vermont acting by and through the Vermont Department of Public Service and for all of the electric distribution utilities in the State of Vermont. VELCO is reimbursed for its costs (as defined in the agreements relating thereto) for the transmission of power which VELCO transmits for the State of Vermont and the electric distribution utilities.

         VELCO has an agreement with CVPS for purchase of a portion of power CVPS acquires from VY, which power VELCO resells at cost to a small electric distribution utility in the State of Vermont.

         VELCO is also a participant with all of the major electric utilities in New England in the New England Power Pool, acting for itself and as agent for twenty-two other electric utilities in Vermont, including CVPS, whereby the generating and transmission facilities of all of the participants are coordinated on a New England-wide basis through a central dispatching agency to assure their operation and maintenance in accordance with proper standards of reliability, and to attain the maximum practicable economy for all of the participants through the interchange of economy and emergency power.

         Beginning on May 1, 2004, the Company began to settle its power accounts with ISO-New England on a standalone (direct) basis. Up until this time, the entire State of Vermont was settled at the ISO-New England, and VELCO then performed the settlement within Vermont. With changes in power markets and NEPOOL/ISO rules and procedures, many of the benefits of a single Vermont settlement have disappeared, and direct settlement now provides advantages to us in terms of flexibility, cost savings, and efficiency.

    VERMONT ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION COMPANY, INC.

         Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. ("VETCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of VELCO, incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont, has its principal office in the Town of Rutland, Vermont.

         VETCO was formed to construct, finance and operate the Vermont portion of the high voltage DC transmission line which ties the New England transmission system to the Hydro-Quebec transmission system.

    VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION

         Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation ("VY"), an affiliate of CVPS, is incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont and has its principal office in Brattleboro, Vermont. CVPS' wholly owned passive investment holding company subsidiary, Custom Investment Corporation, owns 58.85% of VY's outstanding Common Stock, $100 Par Value.

         VY was formed by a group of New England utilities for the purpose of constructing and operating a nuclear-powered generating plant in Vernon, Vermont. At that time, there were ten utilities that agreed to "sponsor" VY, which Sponsors committed to purchase a specified percentage of the Company's equity securities. Those Sponsors each entered into a Power Contract, dated February 1, 1968 and a Sponsor Agreement, dated August 1, 1968. Following mergers and consolidations of investor-owned utilities in New England, there are currently eight Sponsors of VY. The electricity generated by the Vernon plant was sold to VY's sponsoring stockholders prior to the July 2002 sale of the plant to Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC ("Entergy"). As part of the sale, VY purchases the output of the plant through 2012; VY will continue to administer the purchase power contract between VY and Entergy, and the Power Contract among VY and the Sponsors.

         The Power Contracts, as amended following the sale of the plant to Entergy, commit each Sponsor to purchase its "Entitlement Percentage" of the power purchased from Entergy and to pay its percentage of all of VY's costs. The Sponsor Agreement can only be amended by unanimous consent of the Sponsors and also requires unanimous consent of the Sponsors to amend the Power Contract, to expand the business of VY, and to authorize participation by VY in any business other than electric power. The Sponsor Agreement remains in effect as of the date hereof.

         On November 7, 2003, VY consummated the repurchase of all of the VY Common Stock held by five non-Vermont Sponsors. One non-Vermont Sponsor did not elect to have its VY Common Stock repurchased and remains a stockholder of VY as of the date hereof. Although the Company owns 58.85% of VY's outstanding Common Stock through its subsidiary Custom Investment Corporation, the Power Contracts, Sponsor Agreement and composition of the VY Board of Directors effectively restrict the Company's control of VY. Therefore, VY's financial statements have not been consolidated.

Exhibit A

CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2004

Note A - Consolidation:

      The consolidating financial statements include the accounts of Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Connecticut Valley Electric Company Inc. (CVEC), C. V. Realty, Inc., and Catamount Resources Corporation (CRC) which compose CVPS consolidated. In addition, for purposes of this SEC Form U-3A-2, the consolidating financial statements include the accounts of CVPS's affiliates, Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. (VELCO) 47.02 percent owned and Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. (VETCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of VELCO, which constitutes total consolidated.

      Custom Investment Corporation ("CIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVPS, was formed for the purpose of holding passive investments including the stock of CVPS' subsidiaries that invest in regulated business opportunities. Custom owns 58.85% of VY's outstanding Common Stock.

      For financial reporting purposes, CIC's financial data is included with CVPS on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

      CVPS follows the equity method of accounting for its investments in affiliates. See Note D.

Note B - Income taxes:

      CVPS and its wholly owned subsidiaries

      The Company records income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Investment tax credits associated with utility plant are deferred and amortized ratably to income over the lives of the related properties.

      A valuation allowance has been recorded, in the amount of $0.9 million to reflect management's best estimate of deferred income taxes, with respect to equity investments, that may not ultimately be realized. All other deferred income taxes are expected to be realized.

      VELCO

      VELCO records income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, additional deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from VELCO's transmission billing calculation will be returned to, or collected from, ratepayers in future transmission billings. VELCO expects all deferred income tax assets will be utilized in the future.

- 36 -

Note C - VETCO:

      VETCO has entered into support agreements in connection with construction of the transmission lines with substantially all of the New England electric utilities. The support agreements require the utilities to reimburse VETCO for all operating and capital costs of the transmission line on an unconditional and absolute basis. In return, VETCO has agreed to build, own, operate and maintain the line and to involve itself in no other activities during the term of the agreement, which extends for 30 years from the date of commercial operation of the line. These support agreements also provide for an advisory committee made up of participants to review the operations of VETCO and to make recommendations on major decisions. VETCO is obligated to follow these recommendations to the extent reasonably practical.

      Although, VELCO owns 100 percent of VETCO's outstanding Common Stock, these provisions of the support agreements effectively restrict VELCO's control, VELCO has not consolidated its financial information with that of VETCO and instead is accounting for its investment using the equity method.

Note D - Investments in affiliates:
