ITEMS 1 THROUGH 11

Section 10.  "Certain Information Concerning CVPS"

               The last paragraph entitled "Incorporation by Reference" underneath the caption "10. Certain Information Concerning CVPS" is amended to include the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2005.

The following information is added following the last paragraph under the caption "10. Certain Information Concerning CVPS - Incorporation by Reference".

Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (the "Company") is providing additional historical financial and selected pro forma financial information in connection with its February 13, 2006 Schedule TO filing, including subsequent amendments. The additional historical financial and selected pro forma financial information is being provided to reflect historical information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006.

Historical financial information and Selected Pro Forma Financial Information as Revised.
The following tables show historical financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The summary historical consolidated financial data has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Pro forma unaudited summary financial information, shown in the tables below includes:

• Pro Forma Unaudited Summary Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005.
• Notes to Pro Forma Unaudited Summary Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The above referenced pro forma unaudited summary consolidated balance sheet gives effect to:

1. The Company's tender offer to purchase for cash up to 2,250,000 shares of its common stock that commenced on February 14, 2006. The tender offer was scheduled to expire on March 15, 2006, but the Company extended it until April 5, 2006. Under the procedures of the tender offer, shareholders may offer to sell some or all of their stock to the Company at a target price in a range from $20.50 to $22.50 per share. Upon expiration of the tender offer, the Company will select the lowest-bid price that will allow it to buy up to 2,250,000 shares, which represents about 18.3 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock. See the Company's Schedule TO filing dated February 13, 2006 for additional information.

The pro forma unaudited summary consolidated balance sheet has been prepared by applying pro forma adjustments to the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the notes to pro forma unaudited summary consolidated balance sheet, are based on currently available information and management believes such adjustments are reasonable, factually supportable and directly attributable to the aforementioned transaction. The pro forma unaudited summary consolidated balance sheet is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of the Company's financial position that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated on, or as of, the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company's future financial position.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA UNAUDITED SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

1. Amounts represent historical financial information derived from the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005.
2. Amounts represent purchase of the Company's common stock through the tender offer described herein. The pro forma adjustment has been calculated assuming that the Company completes the tender offer for 2,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $21.50 per share, and includes about $735,000 of offering costs. This assumes that at least 2,250,000 shares will be tendered at prices at or below $21.50 per share. The actual number of shares tendered and the actual price paid for the tendered shares could vary from this assumption.
   
   The tender offer is being financed by the cash proceeds from the December 20, 2005 sale of all of the Company's interest in Catamount Energy Corporation. The sale is described in the Company's Form 8-K/A filing dated February 24, 2006. The Company has invested the cash proceeds totaling $59.2 million in short-term available for sale securities.
