Item 5. Other Events
--------------------
On September 8, 1995, The Narragansett Electric Company
(Narragansett), a subsidiary of New England Electric System, and
the Rhode Island Division of Public Utilities and Carriers,
represented by the Rhode Island Attorney General, agreed on a
settlement covering the revenue requirement portion of
Narragansett's rate case. The settlement is not opposed by the
other parties in the case. Under the settlement, Narragansett
would be authorized to increase overall revenues by 3.6 percent,
effective December 1, 1995. This rate increase would be the
first since 1992. The allocation of the increase and rate design
remain to be resolved.
Under the settlement, revenues would increase by $17.8
million, rather than the $30.5 million requested in
Narragansett's initial filing. This settlement does not affect
Narragansett's recent agreement with Governor Almond under which
shareholders will bear the costs associated with new discounts
for manufacturers. The settlement is subject to approval by the
Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission.
