                      EUA ENERGY INVESTMENT CORPORATION
                       INVESTMENT IN TRANSCAPACITY L.P.
                             THIRD QUARTER 1999


     On August 30, 1999, EUA Transcapacity, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EUA
     Energy Investment Corporation, sold all of its assets in Transcapacity,
     L.P. and dissolved the Transcapacity Partnership.  EUA Energy Investment
     will not have any further obligations or commitments to Transcapacity,
     its employees, or its successor.  Operating results for the quarter
     ended September 30, 1999 were not impacted by the loss on this
     transaction, as a result of a previously recorded reserve at EUA's
     parent company.

     As a result of the dissolution of the Transcapacity L.P., no financial
     statements are included in this filing and this constitutes the final
     filing under Rule 24.
