       SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
			    REFORM ACT OF 1995

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Reform Act, the Funding
Corp., the Partnerships, the Acquisition Corp. and NE LP (all five entities
collectively, the Registrants) are hereby filing cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause the Registrants' actual
results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements (as such term is defined in the Reform Act) of the Registrants
made by or on behalf of the Registrants which are made in this combined Form
10-K, in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise. Any
statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs,
plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but
not always, through the use of words or phrases such as will likely result,
are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, estimated, projection,
outlook) are not statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties.
Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by
reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that
could cause the Registrants' actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Registrants.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such
statement is made, and the Registrants undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date
on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not
possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess
the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include
changes in laws or regulations, changing governmental policies and
regulatory actions, including those of the FERC and PURPA, acquisition,
disposal, depreciation and amortization of assets and facilities, operation
and construction of plant facilities, recovery of fuel and purchased power
costs, and present or prospective competition.

The business and profitability of the Registrants are also influenced by
economic and geographic factors including political and economic risks,
changes in and compliance with environmental and safety laws and policies,
weather conditions, population growth rates and demographic patterns,
competition for retail and wholesale customers, availability, pricing and
transportation of fuel and other energy commodities, market demand for
energy from plants or facilities, changes in tax rates or policies or in
rates of inflation or in accounting standards, unanticipated delays or
changes in costs for capital projects, unanticipated changes in operating
expenses and capital expenditures, capital market conditions, competition
for new energy development opportunities and legal and administrative
proceedings (whether civil, such as environmental, or criminal) and
settlements.

All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties which may
materially affect actual results, and are beyond the control of the
Registrants.


				    PART I

Item 1.  Business

General.  NE LP, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on November 21,
1997 for the purpose of acquiring ownership interests in two partnerships,
NEA, a Massachusetts limited partnership, and NJEA, a New Jersey limited
partnership, each of which owns an electric power generation station in the
northeastern United States. NE LP is jointly owned by ESI GP and ESI LP
(indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of FPL Energy, which is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of FPL Group, a company listed on the New York Stock
Exchange) and Tractebel GP and Tractebel LP (indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, through Tractebel and Tractebel Power of Tractebel S.A., a
Belgian energy, industrial services and energy services business, and a
member of the Suez group). NE LP also formed a wholly-owned entity, NE LLC,
to assist in such acquisitions. On January 14, 1998, NE LP and NE LLC
acquired all of the interests in the Partnerships from IEC and from certain
individuals for approximately $545 million, including approximately $10
million of acquisition costs. The acquisition of the Partnerships was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and was subject to
pushdown accounting, which gave rise to a new basis of accounting by the
Partnerships.

The Partnerships were formed in 1986 to develop, construct, own, operate and
manage the power generation stations. NEA's facility commenced commercial
operation in September 1991 and is located in Bellingham, Massachusetts.
NJEA's facility commenced commercial operation in August 1991 and is located
in Sayreville, New Jersey.

In connection with the acquisition of the Partnerships' interests, the
Funding Corp., a Delaware corporation, was acquired by a subsidiary of ESI
Energy, Tractebel Power and Broad Street from IEC. This entity was
established in 1994 solely for the purpose of issuing debt. This debt was
privately issued under Rule 144A to acquire outstanding bank debt and to
lend funds to the Partnerships and was subsequently exchanged for public
debt under the Act.

On January 12, 1998, the Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, was
formed. The Acquisition Corp.'s common stock is jointly owned by a
subsidiary of ESI Energy and a subsidiary of Tractebel Power. On February
12, 1998, the Acquisition Corp. issued $220 million of debt under Rule 144A
which was also subsequently exchanged for public debt under the Act. The
proceeds were loaned to NE LP and then distributed to direct subsidiaries of
FPL Energy and Tractebel Power. Repayment of the debt is expected from
distributions from the Partnerships.

None of the Registrants or the Partners have any employees.

Partnerships' Operations.  The Partnerships operate in the independent
power industry. In the United States, regulated electric utilities have been
the dominant producers and suppliers of electric energy since the early
1900s. In 1978, PURPA removed regulatory constraints relating to the
production and sale of electric energy by certain non-utility power
producers and required electric utilities to buy electricity from certain
types of non-utility power producers under certain conditions, thereby
encouraging companies other than electric utilities to enter the electric
power production market. The Partnerships were created as a result of the
PURPA legislation.

Each of the Partnerships owns and derives substantially all of its revenues
from a nominal 300 mw combined-cycle cogeneration facility. The facilities
were constructed by Westinghouse Power and use natural gas to produce
electrical energy and thermal energy in the form of steam. The Partnerships
were developed and are operated as qualifying facilities under PURPA and the
regulations promulgated thereunder by the FERC. The Partnerships must
satisfy certain annual operating and efficiency standards and ownership
requirements to maintain qualifying facility status, which exempts the
Partnerships from certain federal and state regulations. The Partnerships
are, however, not exempt from state regulatory commission general
supervisory powers relating to environmental and safety matters.

NEA and NJEA sell substantially all of their output to regulated utilities
under power purchase agreements as follows:

				      % of             Power Purchase
Power Purchaser            MW         Capacity         Agreement Expiration
NEA:
  Boston Edison           135            47%           September 15, 2016
  Boston Edison            84            29            September 15, 2011
  Commonwealth             25             9            September 15, 2016
  Commonwealth             21             7            September 15, 2016
  Montaup                  25             8            September 15, 2021
  NEA Total               290           100%

NJEA:
  JCP&L                   250            83%           August 13, 2011

The remainder of the net electrical energy produced by the Partnerships is
available for sale to the marketplace either directly to third parties or
via FPL Energy's power marketing subsidiary. The power purchase agreements
provide for substantially continuous delivery of base load power.

Certain of the power purchase agreements require the establishment of energy
banks to record cumulative payments made by the utilities in excess of
avoided cost rates scheduled or specified in such agreements. Some of the
energy bank balances bear interest at various rates specified in the
agreements. Upon termination of the agreements, some or all of the remaining
amounts recorded in the energy banks will be required to be repaid. Energy
bank balances are partially secured by letters of credit.

To meet the FERC regulations for a qualifying facility, both NEA and NJEA
sell at least 5% of the thermal energy produced to unrelated third parties.
NEA sells steam to a third party which leases a carbon dioxide facility
owned by NEA and located on NEA's property.

Approximately 80% of the natural gas that fuels the Partnerships' facilities
is supplied pursuant to long-term gas supply agreements with ProGas and, in
the case of NJEA, also pursuant to a long-term gas supply agreement with
PSE&G. Gas is transported to, or stored for later use by, the Partnerships
pursuant to long-term gas transportation and storage agreements. The
remainder of the daily fuel requirements is satisfied by open-market
purchases. Price escalators under the long-term gas agreements are intended
to correlate to the price escalators under the power purchase agreements,
thereby reducing the risk associated with increases in the price of natural
gas. ESI Northeast Fuel, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FPL Energy,
is the fuel manager for the Partnerships and provides fuel management and
administrative services by contracting with FPL Energy's power marketing
subsidiary. This subsidiary buys and sells wholesale energy commodities,
such as natural gas, oil  and electric power.

O&M of the Partnerships was provided by Westinghouse, a subsidiary of
Westinghouse Power, through December 31, 1998. Effective December 31, 1998,
the O&M contracts between Westinghouse Power and the Partnerships were
terminated by mutual consent of both parties and a payment of $10 million
was made to Westinghouse. The Partnerships recorded a net gain of $4.2
million, the effect of which is reflected in the statement of operations for
the period ended December 31, 1998. Additionally, the Partnerships agreed to
pay Westinghouse a total of $15.6 million, which approximates market value,
for spare parts purchased in 1999. FPLE Operating Services, a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of FPL Energy, became the new provider of O&M services
for the Partnerships on January 1, 1999. See Management's Discussion -
Results of Operations.

Seasonality.  The performance of the Partnerships is dependent on ambient
conditions (principally air temperature), which affect the efficiency and
capacity of the combined-cycle facilities. Payments due to NJEA under the
JCP&L power purchase agreement during the winter and summer seasons are
substantially higher than those in spring and fall. Otherwise, the business
of the Partnerships is not materially subject to seasonal factors.

Competition.  Recent regulatory change has created additional competition
in the form of wholesale power marketers that engage in purchase and resale
transactions between power producers and power distributors. Although
substantially all of the Partnerships' output is committed under the power
purchase agreements described above, these factors may adversely affect
energy prices under certain power purchase agreements that are tied to the
wholesale electric market prices. NE LP and the Partnerships do not expect
electric utility industry restructuring to result in any material adverse
change to prices under the Partnerships' power purchase agreements. However,
the impact of electric utility industry restructuring on the companies that
purchase power from the Partnerships is uncertain. Both Massachusetts and New
Jersey have enacted legislation designed to deregulate the production and sale
of electricity. By allowing customers to choose their electricity supplier,
deregulation is expected to result in a shift from cost-based rates to market-
based rates for energy production. Similar initiatives are also being pursued
on the federal level.

The Partnerships operate in two power pools. NEA operates in NEPOOL and NJEA
operates in PJM, each of which has an independent system operator that manages
the wholesale electricity market and the transmission of electricity. While
legislators and state regulatory commissions will decide what impact, if any,
competitive forces will have on retail transactions, the FERC has jurisdiction
over potential changes which could affect competition in wholesale
transactions. The FERC has approved various filings submitted by NEPOOL and
PJM that further electric industry deregulation initiatives.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

NE LP for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 - NE LP's results of
operations declined in 2000 primarily due to increased fuel costs, partly
offset by slightly higher revenues. Revenues in 2000 were comprised of $333.4
million of power sales to utilities and $4.2 million of steam sales. In 1999,
revenues were comprised of $331.4 million of power sales to utilities and
$4.9 million of steam sales. Power sales to utilities reflect changes in
utility energy bank balances of $23.7 million and $22.2 million in 2000 and
1999, respectively. The changes in energy bank balances, which increased
reported revenues, are determined in accordance with scheduled or specified
rates under certain power purchase agreements.

Fuel expense increased primarily as a result of the increased price of
natural gas required to fuel the facilities. These fuel costs were partly
offset in 2000 and 1999 by $20.8 million of deferred credit amortization for
fuel contracts.


NE LP for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 - NE LP's operations
for 1999 reflect a full year of operations versus operations for 1998, which
primarily reflect the operation of NE LP subsequent to the acquisitions on
January 14, 1998 and the related allocation of the purchase price.

NE LP's results of operations increased in 1999 primarily due to increased
revenues, partly offset by higher fuel costs. Revenues increased due to
higher power purchase rates paid by utilities, as well as increased
generation resulting from less plant outages in 1999. Revenues increased
due to higher power purchase rates paid by utilities, as well as increased
generation resulting from less plant outages in 1999. Revenues in 1999 were
comprised of $331.4 million of power sales to utilities and $4.9 million of
steam sales. In 1998, revenues were comprised of $298.2 million of power
sales to utilities and $4.5 million of steam sales. Power sales to utilities
reflect changes in utility energy bank balances of $22.2 million and $15.6
million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The changes in energy bank balances,
which increased reported revenues, are determined in accordance with
scheduled or specified rates under certain power purchase agreements.

Fuel expense increased primarily as a result of the increased price of
natural gas required to fuel the facilities. These fuel costs were partly
offset in 1999 and 1998 by $20.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively, of
deferred credit amortization for fuel contracts.


The Partnerships for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 - The
Partnerships' results of operations declined in 2000 primarily due to
increased fuel costs, partly offset by slightly higher revenues. Revenues in
2000 were comprised of $333.4 million of power sales to utilities and $4.2
million of steam sales. In 1999, revenues were comprised of $331.4 million
of power sales to utilities and $4.9 million of steam sales. Power sales to
utilities reflect changes in utility energy bank balances of $23.7 million
and $22.2 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The changes in energy bank
balances, which increased reported revenues, are determined in accordance
with scheduled or specified rates under certain power purchase agreements.

Fuel expense increased primarily as a result of the increased price of
natural gas required to fuel the facilities. These fuel costs were partly
offset in 2000 and 1999 by $20.8 million of deferred credit amortization for
fuel contracts.

Both Massachusetts and New Jersey have enacted legislation designed to
deregulate the production and sale of electricity. By allowing customers to
choose their electricity supplier, deregulation is expected to result in a
shift from cost-based rates to market-based rates for energy production.
Similar initiatives are also being pursued on the federal level. NE LP and
the Partnerships do not expect electric utility industry restructuring to
result in any material adverse change to prices under the Partnerships'
power purchase agreements. However, the impact of electric utility industry
restructuring on the companies that purchase power from the Partnerships is
uncertain.


The Partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 - The
Partnerships' operations for 1999 reflect a full year of operations versus
operations for 1998, which primarily reflect the operation of the
Partnerships subsequent to the acquisitions on January 14, 1998 and the
related allocation of the purchase price.

The Partnerships' results of operations increased in 1999 primarily due to
increased revenues, partly offset by higher fuel costs. Revenues in 1999
were comprised of $331.4 million of power sales to utilities and $4.9
million of steam sales. In 1998, revenues were comprised of $298.2 million
of power sales to utilities and $4.5 million of steam sales. Power sales to
utilities reflect changes in utility energy bank balances of $22.2 million
and $15.6 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The changes in energy bank
balances, which increased reported revenues, are determined in accordance
with scheduled or specified rates under certain power purchase agreements.

Fuel expense increased primarily as a result of the increased price of
natural gas required to fuel the facilities. These fuel costs were partly
offset in 1999 and 1998 by $20.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively, of
deferred credit amortization for fuel contracts.


The Funding Corp. - During the three years ended December 31, 2000, the
Funding Corp. used principal payments and interest income received from the
notes receivable from the Partnerships to make scheduled principal and
interest payments on its outstanding debt.


The Acquisition Corp. - During the three years ended December 31, 2000, the
Acquisition Corp. used interest income received from the notes receivable
from NE LP to make scheduled interest payments on its outstanding debt.


New Accounting Rule - Effective January 1, 2001, the Registrants adopted
Financial Accounting Standards No. (FAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by FAS 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." For
information concerning the adoption of FAS 133/138, see Note 2 to the
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements - Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Funding Corp. and the Partnerships - Cash flow generated by the
Partnerships during 2000 was sufficient to fund operating expenses as well
as fund the debt service requirements of the Funding Corp. During December
2000, $26.3 million principal amount of 8.43% Senior Secured Notes matured and
were repaid. Debt maturities of the Funding Corp. will require cash outflows
of approximately $315 million in principal and interest through 2005,
including $59.5 million in 2001. It is anticipated that cash requirements
for principal and interest payments in 2001 will be satisfied with
operational cash flow.

The Acquisition Corp. and NE LP - Cash flow generated by NE LP during 2000 was
sufficient to fund operating expenses as well as fund the debt service
requirements of the Acquisition Corp. and the Funding Corp. Debt maturities of
the Acquisition Corp. and the Funding Corp. will require cash outflows of
approximately $433.5 million in principal and interest through 2005,
including $77.1 million in 2001. It is anticipated that cash requirements
for principal and interest payments in 2001 will be satisfied with
operational cash flow.


Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

All financial instruments and positions held by NE LP and the Partnerships
described below are held for purposes other than trading.

Interest rate risk - The fair value of NE LP's and the Partnerships' long-
term debt is affected by changes in interest rates. The following presents
the sensitivity of the fair value of debt to a hypothetical 10% decrease in
interest rates:

(a)  Based on the borrowing rate on January 8, 2001 for debt instruments
     with similar terms and average maturities.
</TABLE>

Commodity price risk - The prices received by the Partnerships for power
sales under their long-term contracts do not move precisely in tandem with
the prices paid by the Partnerships for natural gas. To mitigate the price
risk associated with purchases of natural gas, the Partnerships may, from
time to time, enter into certain transactions either through public
exchanges or by means of over-the-counter transactions with specific
counterparties. The Partnerships mitigate their risk associated with
purchases of natural gas through the use of natural gas swap agreements that
require the Partnerships to pay a fixed price (absolutely or within a
specified range) in return for a variable price on specified notional
quantities of natural gas. The following presents the sensitivity of the
fair value of gas swap agreements to a hypothetical 40% decrease in natural
gas prices:

1.  Nature of Business

Northeast Energy, LP (NE LP), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on
November 21, 1997 for the purpose of acquiring ownership interests in two
partnerships, each of which owns an electric power generation station in the
northeastern United States (Northeast Energy Associates, A Limited
Partnership (NEA) and North Jersey Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership
(NJEA), collectively the Partnerships).  NE LP is jointly owned by
subsidiaries of ESI Energy, LLC (ESI Energy) and Tractebel Power, Inc.
(Tractebel Power). ESI Energy is wholly-owned by FPL Energy, LLC (FPL
Energy), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc., a
company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Tractebel Power is a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tractebel, Inc., which is a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tractebel S.A., a Belgian energy, industrial services and
energy services business, and a member of the Suez group. NE LP also formed
a wholly-owned subsidiary, Northeast Energy, LLC (NE LLC) to assist in such
acquisitions. NE LP had no financial activity prior to January 1, 1998.

On January 14, 1998, NE LP and NE LLC acquired all of the interests in the
Partnerships from Intercontinental Energy Corporation (IEC), a Massachusetts
corporation. NE LP holds a one percent (1%) general partner and ninety-eight
percent (98%) limited partner interest in the Partnerships; NE LLC holds the
remaining one percent (1%) limited partner interest. See Note 2 -
Acquisitions.

The Partnerships were formed in 1986 to develop, construct, own, operate and
manage two separate 300 megawatt (mw) combined-cycle cogeneration
facilities. NEA's facility is located in Bellingham, Massachusetts and
NJEA's facility is located in Sayreville, New Jersey. NEA commenced
commercial operation in September 1991 and NJEA commenced commercial
operation in August 1991. The Partnerships operate in the independent power
industry and have been granted permission by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission to operate as qualifying facilities defined in the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended and as defined in federal
regulations.

In connection with the acquisitions of the Partnerships' interests, an
existing special purpose funding corporation was acquired by an entity
related to FPL Energy and Tractebel Power. The funding corporation's name
was changed from IEC Funding Corp. to ESI Tractebel Funding Corp (Funding
Corp.). Additionally, as a means of funding portions of the purchase price
of the acquisitions of the Partnerships, ESI Tractebel Acquisition Corp.
(Acquisition Corp.), also an affiliate of FPL Energy and Tractebel Power,
was formed. On February 12, 1998, the Acquisition Corp. issued new debt
securities which were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in an exchange offer. The proceeds were loaned to NE LP and then distributed
to direct subsidiaries of FPL Energy and Tractebel Power. Repayment of the
new debt is expected from distributions from the Partnerships and is
guaranteed by all interests in the Partnerships. See Note 4 for additional
information.

The partners share profits and losses and have interests in assets and
liabilities and cash flows in proportion to their tax basis capital
accounts. Distributions to the partners may be made only after all funding
requirements of the Partnerships have been met, as described in the trust
indenture relating to the debt issued by the Acquisition Corp.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of NE LP and subsidiaries (including the Partnerships
subsequent to the acquisitions, as they are indirectly wholly-owned by NE
LP). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying combined financial statements
include the accounts of NEA and NJEA for all periods and are combined based
on common ownership. All material intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the combination. Certain amounts included in prior years'
consolidated and combined financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentation.

Acquisitions - On January 14, 1998, NE LP and NE LLC acquired all of the
interests in the Partnerships for approximately $545 million, including
approximately $10 million of acquisition costs (the Acquisitions). The
Acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
were subject to pushdown accounting, which gave rise to a new basis of
accounting by the Partnerships. The purchase price was allocated to the
assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values.

The following is a summary of the Partnerships' assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the Acquisitions (thousands of dollars):

ASSETS:
  Current assets ........................................ $114,286
  Restricted cash ....................................... $ 69,156
  Cogeneration facilities and carbon dioxide facility.... $513,523
  Power purchase agreements ............................. $888,756
  Other assets .......................................... $     36

LIABILITIES:
  Current liabilities ................................... $ 48,404
  Operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts ............ $ 18,749
  Fuel contracts ........................................ $333,544
  Energy bank balances .................................. $171,530
  Notes payable ......................................... $468,724

Carrying values of current assets, restricted cash and current liabilities
were considered to closely approximate fair value and were not adjusted.
Power purchase agreements were assigned a value based on the estimated
amount to be received over the contract period in excess of an independent
appraiser's assessment of market rates for power, discounted to the date of
acquisition. The cogeneration facilities and carbon dioxide facility were
initially assigned value based on an assessment of current replacement cost
for similar capacity, without the acquired power purchase agreements. In
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, the values
assigned to these long-lived assets were reduced by the net excess of the
fair values of all assets acquired over the purchase price. O&M and fuel
contract obligations were determined based on expected cash flows during
contract periods compared to estimated cash flows for similar services if
contracted for currently, discounted to the date of acquisition. Notes
payable include the previously existing debt of the Partnerships that was
considered to approximate market value. Energy bank balances were assigned a
value representing the estimated present value of future payments to
utilities in connection with certain existing power purchase agreements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - NE LP and the Partnerships evaluate on an
ongoing basis the recoverability of its assets and related intangible assets
for impairment, based on estimated future cash flows, whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable as described in FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Investments purchased with an original maturity
of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Excess cash is
invested in high-grade money market accounts and commercial paper and is
subject to minimal credit and market risk. At December 31, 2000 and 1999,
the recorded amount of cash approximates its fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Revenue - Accounts receivable primarily consist of
receivables from three Massachusetts utilities and one New Jersey utility
for electricity delivered and sold under six power purchase agreements.
Prices are based on initial floor prices per kilowatt-hour (kwh), subject to
adjustment based on actual volumes of electricity purchased, escalation
factors and other conditions. Revenue is recognized based on power delivered
at rates stipulated in the power purchase agreements, except that revenue is
deferred to the extent that stipulated rates are in excess of amounts,
either scheduled or specified, in the agreements to the extent the
Partnerships have an obligation to repay such excess. The amount deferred is
reflected as amounts due utilities for energy bank balances on the balance
sheets. Revenue from steam sales is recognized upon delivery.

Cogeneration Facilities, Carbon Dioxide Facility and Other Assets -
Effective January 14, 1998, all facilities were revalued as a result of
applying the purchase method of accounting mentioned above. The facilities
are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
life which was increased from 20 years to 34 years effective January 14,
1998.

Major Maintenance - Effective January 14, 1998, maintenance expenses are
accrued for certain identified major maintenance and repair items related to
the Partnerships' facilities. The expenses are accrued ratably over each
major maintenance cycle. The amounts accrued relate to maintenance costs
required for the equipment to operate over its depreciable life. For the
periods ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Partnerships recorded
major maintenance expense of $4.8 million, $5.1 million and $2.8 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Partnerships had $6.5
million and $3.3 million of accrued major maintenance expense, respectively.

Inventories - Fuel inventories consist of natural gas and fuel oil and are
stated at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or market.
Prior to January 14, 1998, inventories were determined on a first-in, first-
out (FIFO) basis. The change did not have a significant impact on the
financial statements.  Spare parts inventories consist primarily of spare
parts purchased from the previous O&M provider.  Spare parts inventories are
stated at lower of cost or market and are determined by specific
identification.

Power Purchase Agreements - Effective January 14, 1998, power purchase
agreements which were determined to be in excess of prevailing rates for
similar agreements were adjusted as a result of applying the purchase method
of accounting mentioned above. These amounts are being amortized over the
respective agreement periods, ranging from 14 to 24 years, on a straight-
line basis or matched to scheduled fixed-price increases under the power
purchase agreements, as applicable.

Fuel Contracts - Effective January 14, 1998, fuel contracts which were
determined to be in excess of prevailing rates for similar contracts were
adjusted as a result of applying the purchase method of accounting mentioned
above. The fuel contracts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
the remaining terms of the contracts from that date, 16 years.

O&M Contracts - Effective January 14, 1998, O&M contracts which were
determined to be in excess of prevailing rates for similar contracts were
adjusted as a result of applying the purchase method of accounting mentioned
above. The O&M contracts were initially assigned a value of $18.7 million.
For the period ended December 31, 1998, the Partnerships recorded $4.5
million of amortization expense for the O&M contracts. Effective December
31, 1998, the O&M contracts between the previous O&M provider and the
Partnerships were terminated by mutual consent of both parties and a payment
of $10 million was made to the previous O&M provider. See Note 7 O&M of the
Cogeneration Facilities.

Interest Rate Swaps - Interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge
accounting are recorded at fair value, with changes in the fair value
recognized currently in income as adjustments to interest expense. See Note
6.

Natural Gas Hedging Instruments - Periodic settlements on natural gas swap
agreements are recognized as adjustments to fuel costs at monthly settlement
dates. Purchases of natural gas under forward purchase agreements are
accounted for as fuel costs at their contract price at delivery. See Note 6.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs - Deferred debt issuance costs of NE LP are
being amortized over the approximate 14-year term of the Acquisition Corp.'s
note payable using the interest method.

Income Taxes - Partnerships are not taxable entities for federal and state
income tax purposes. As such, no provision has been made for income taxes
since such taxes, if any, are the responsibilities of the individual
partners.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Effective
January 1, 2001, the Registrants adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. (FAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended by FAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." The statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivatives' fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Upon settlement, any gains or losses will
be passed through fuel expense.

In January 2001, NE LP and the Partnerships recorded an initial adjustment
to record the fair values of instruments not previously reported on the
balance sheet resulting in derivative assets of $22.6 million. Hedge
accounting has been applied to some of these contracts, resulting in a
credit of $4.3 million to other comprehensive income (in partners' equity)
for NE LP and the Partnerships.  An adjustment to record the cumulative
effect on NE LP and the Partnerships' earnings of a change in accounting
principle in the amount of a $18.3 million gain was recorded, representing
the effect of those derivative instruments for which hedge accounting was
not applied.

In December 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB)
Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) discussed several issues related to
the power generation industry, but did not reach conclusions on those
issues.  In March 2001, the FASB discussed some of these issues, but the
conclusions were not final or effective. The ultimate resolution of these
issues could result in a requirement to mark certain of NE LP and the
Partnerships' power purchase agreements to their fair market values each
reporting period. If these agreements are required to be treated as
derivative instruments, the new accounting would first be applied in the
quarter following final resolution of the issues.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and 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.

3.  Cogeneration Facilities, Power Purchase Agreements and Carbon Dioxide
Facility

Power Purchase Agreements - In 1986, NEA entered into three power purchase
agreements with three Massachusetts utilities, and in 1988, NEA entered into
two power purchase agreements with two Massachusetts utilities. Under the
five power purchase agreements, NEA agreed to sell approximately 290 mw at
initial floor prices per kwh subject to adjustment based on actual volumes
purchased, escalation factors and other conditions. Performance under
certain of these agreements is secured by a second mortgage on the NEA
facility. In 1987, NJEA entered into an agreement with a New Jersey utility
to sell 250 mw at an initial fixed price per kwh subject to adjustments, as
defined in the agreement. These power purchase agreements have initial terms
with expiration dates ranging from 2011 to 2021. The majority of the
Partnerships' power sales to utilities are generated through these
agreements. As such, the Partnerships are directly affected by changes in
the power generation industry. Substantially all of the Partnerships'
accounts receivable are with these utilities. The Partnerships do not
require collateral or other security to support their receivables. However,
management does not believe significant credit risk exists at December 31,
2000.

For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, power sale revenues
from two different utilities accounted for approximately 42% and 42%, 45%
and 41%, and 47% and 40%, respectively, of total revenues.

Both Massachusetts and New Jersey have enacted legislation designed to
deregulate the production and sale of electricity. While NE LP and the
Partnerships do not expect electric utility industry restructuring to result
in any material adverse change to the Partnerships' power purchase
agreements, the impact of electric utility industry restructuring on the
companies that purchase power from the Partnerships is uncertain.

Energy Bank Balances - Certain of the power purchase agreements require the
establishment of energy banks to record cumulative payments made by the
utilities in excess of avoided cost rates scheduled or specified in such
agreements. Some of the energy bank balances bear interest at various rates
specified in the agreements. Upon termination of the agreements, some or all
of the remaining amounts recorded in the energy banks will be required to be
repaid. Energy bank balances are partially secured by letters of credit (see
Note 7 - Energy Bank and Loan Collateral).

Steam Sales Agreements and Carbon Dioxide Facility - In order for the
Partnerships' facilities to maintain qualifying facility status, the
facilities are required to generate five percent of the thermal energy
produced for sale to unrelated third parties. In 1990, NEA entered into an
amended and restated steam sales agreement with a processor and seller of
carbon dioxide. The amended and restated NEA steam sales agreement extends
for the same terms as the carbon dioxide facility's lease, with automatic
extension for any renewal period under that lease. Pursuant to the steam
sales agreement, NEA sells a portion of the steam generated by the NEA
facility at a price that fluctuates based on changes in the price of a
specified grade of fuel oil. In conjunction with this contract, NEA
constructed the carbon dioxide facility and, in 1989, entered into a 16-year
agreement to lease the facility to the steam user. Base rent under the lease
is $100,000 per month, adjusted by the operating results of the facility as
outlined in the lease agreement. Additionally, NEA pays the steam user
$100,000 annually for administrative services rendered related to the
operation of the carbon dioxide facility.

In 1989, NJEA entered into a 20-year steam sales agreement with a steam user
adjacent to the NJEA facility. Under this agreement, NJEA sells a quantity
of steam at a floor price that can increase based on changes in prices of
coal. This agreement automatically renews for two consecutive five-year
terms unless either party gives notice not to renew two years before the
expiration of each of the prior terms.

Fuel Supply, Transportation and Storage Agreements - Natural gas is provided
to the NEA and NJEA facilities primarily under long-term contracts for
supply, transportation and storage. The remaining fuel requirements are
provided under short-term spot arrangements. The long-term natural gas
supply is provided under contracts with ProGas Limited (ProGas) and Public
Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G). Various pipeline companies provide
transportation of the natural gas. Gas storage agreements provide
contractual arrangements for the storage of limited volumes of natural gas
with third parties for future delivery to the Partnerships.

The ProGas contracts commenced in 1991, and the initial 15-year terms were
subsequently extended an additional seven years. The maximum total volumes
of gas to be delivered under the ProGas contracts are approximately 48,800
and 22,000 million of British thermal units (MMBtu) per day for NEA and
NJEA, respectively. The contract price, including transportation, of the
ProGas supply delivered to the import point is determined with reference to
a base price in 1990, re-determined annually thereafter based on specified
inflation indices. The PSE&G contract commenced in 1991 and provides for the
sale and delivery to NJEA of up to 25,000 MMBtu per day of gas for a term of
20 years. The contract price of the PSE&G gas is established monthly using a
contractually specified mechanism.

With the exception of the PSE&G arrangement, all of the Partnerships' long-
term contractual arrangements call for monthly demand charge payments. These
demand charge payments reserve certain pipeline transportation capacity and
are made regardless of the Partnerships' specified fuel requirements in any
month and regardless of whether the Partnerships utilize the capacity
reserved. These demand charges totaled approximately $45 million, $43
million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively. Total payments under such contracts were approximately
$133.7 million, $126.9 million and $125.4 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, inclusive of demand charges. Total charges under the contract
with PSE&G, including transportation costs, during 2000, 1999 and 1998, were
approximately $33.8 million, $27.0 million and $24.6 million, respectively.
NEA's facility also has the capability to burn No. 2 fuel oil which is
stored on site for contingency supply.

4.  Loans Payable

Funding Corp. - The proceeds from the Funding Corp.'s secured notes (Funding
Corp. Securities) were used to make loans to the Partnerships and notes of
the Partnerships were issued to the Funding Corp. in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the Funding Corp. Securities. The Funding Corp., and, thus,
the Partnerships, has borrowings outstanding as follows:

    Long-term debt, excluding current maturities ...................................    $398,720,000   $418,880,000
</TABLE>

Interest on the Funding Corp. Securities is payable semiannually on each
June 30 and December 30. Principal repayments are made semiannually in
amounts stipulated in the trust indenture. Future principal payments are as
follows:

Year ending December 31:
2001 .................................................. $ 20,160,000
2002 .................................................. $ 22,688,000
2003 .................................................. $ 23,818,000
2004 .................................................. $ 28,564,000
2005 .................................................. $ 45,349,000
Thereafter ............................................ $278,301,000
Total ................................................. $418,880,000

The Funding Corp. Securities are not subject to optional redemption but are
subject to mandatory redemption in certain limited circumstances involving
the occurrence of an event of loss, as defined in the trust indenture, for
which the Partnerships fail to or are unable to restore a facility.

The Funding Corp. Securities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by the Partnerships and are secured by a lien on, and a security
interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Partnerships. The
Partnerships are jointly and severally required to make scheduled payments
on the notes on dates and in amounts identical to the scheduled payments of
principal and interest on the Funding Corp. Securities. The Funding Corp.
Securities, the guarantees thereon provided by the Partnerships and the
notes are nonrecourse to the partners and are payable solely from the
collateral pledged as security.

The trust indenture governing the Funding Corp. Securities contains certain
restrictions on certain activities of the Partnerships, including incurring
additional indebtedness or liens, distributions to the partners, the
cancellation of power sale and fuel supply agreements, the use of proceeds
from the issuance of the Funding Corp. Securities and the execution of
mergers, consolidations and sales of assets.

Under the terms of a previous loan and credit agreement, the Partnerships
were required to enter into interest rate swap agreements providing for the
payments on a notional principal amount to be made by the Partnerships at
fixed interest rates, in exchange for payments to be made by such financial
institutions at floating interest rates. As a result of the repayment of
such loans with the proceeds of the Funding Corp. Securities, the original
interest swap agreements no longer qualified for hedge accounting and were
recorded at fair value at December 31, 1998.  The swaps expired during 1999.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the statements of operations for the
periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Acquisition Corp. - During 1998, the Acquisition Corp. issued $220 million
of 7.99% Secured Bonds Due 2011 (Acquisition Corp. Securities) for the
purpose of reimbursing certain partners of NE LP for a portion of $545
million in equity contributions used to acquire the Partnerships. The
proceeds from the Acquisition Corp. Securities were loaned to NE LP,
evidenced by a promissory note. Interest on the Acquisition Corp. Securities
is payable semiannually on each June 30 and December 30. Principal
repayments are made annually commencing on June 30, 2002 and are in amounts
stipulated in the trust indenture. Future principal payments are as follows:

Year ending December 31:
2002 .................................................. $  8,800,000
2003 .................................................. $  8,800,000
2004 .................................................. $  8,800,000
2005 .................................................. $  8,800,000
Thereafter ............................................ $184,800,000
Total ................................................. $220,000,000

The Acquisition Corp. Securities are subject to optional redemption after
June 30, 2008 at the redemption prices set forth in the trust indenture and
are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption at a redemption price of
100% of the principal amount thereof in certain limited circumstances as
defined in the trust indenture.

The Acquisition Corp. Securities are unconditionally guaranteed by NE LP and
are payable solely from payments to be made by NE LP under the promissory
note and bond guaranty. NE LP's obligations to make payments under the
promissory note are nonrecourse to the direct and indirect owners of NE LP.
Payments with respect to the promissory note and, therefore, in respect of
the Acquisition Corp. Securities will be effectively subordinated to payment
of all indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of the
Partnerships, including the guarantee by the Partnerships of their
indebtedness. Repayment of the Acquisition Corp. Securities is guaranteed by
all interests in the Partnerships. The Acquisition Corp. Securities will
rank senior to all subordinated indebtedness and rank evenly with all senior
indebtedness that the Acquisition Corp. incurs in the future.

5.  Related Party Information

Administrative Services Agreement - NE LP and an entity related to FPL
Energy have entered into an administrative services agreement that provides
for management and administrative services to the Partnerships. The
agreement which expires in 2018 provides for fees of a minimum of $600
thousand per year, subject to certain adjustments, and reimburses costs and
expenses of performing services. For the periods ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998, the Partnerships incurred $798 thousand, $782 thousand and
$765 thousand, respectively, in fees under the agreement.

O&M Agreements - NE LP and an entity related to FPL Energy have entered into
operations and maintenance agreements that provide for the O&M of the
Partnerships. The agreements expire in 2016, subject to extension by mutual
agreement of the parties before six months preceding expiration. The
agreements provide for fees of a minimum of $750 thousand per year, subject
to certain adjustments, for each Partnership and reimburse costs and
expenses of performing services. For each of the periods ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, the Partnerships incurred $1.5 million in fees under
the agreements. See Note 7 - O&M of the Cogeneration Facilities.

Fuel Management Agreements - Each of NEA and NJEA has entered into fuel
management agreements with an entity related to FPL Energy that provide for
the management of all natural gas and fuel oil, transportation and storage
agreements, and the location and purchase of any additional required natural
gas or fuel oil for the Partnerships. The agreements which expire in 2023
provide for fees of a minimum of $450 thousand per year, subject to certain
adjustments, for each Partnership and reimburse costs and expenses of
performing services. For the periods ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
the Partnerships incurred $909 thousand, $896 thousand and $881 thousand,
respectively, in fees under the agreements.

The Partnerships pay a management fee to NE LP in an amount equal to the
fees under the administrative services, operations and maintenance and fuel
management agreements mentioned above.

Accrued expenses under the administrative services, O&M and fuel management
agreements were $796 thousand and $473 thousand at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Additionally, power sales to an entity related to FPL
Energy were $3.5 million, $2.5 million and $1.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

6.  Financial Instruments

The Partnerships have made use of derivative financial instruments to hedge
their exposure to fluctuations in both interest rates and the price of
natural gas.

Under the terms of a previous loan and credit agreement, the Partnerships
were required to enter into fixed interest rate swap agreements as a means
of managing exposure to the variable rate of interest of those borrowings.
In conjunction with the refinancing of those borrowings, the Partnerships
entered into counter-swap agreements so that the Partnerships would no
longer be exposed to changes in interest rates. The interest rate swaps
expired during 1999. The notional amount of these interest rate swap
agreements was $5.5 million at December 31, 1998. The notional amount
indicates the size of the transaction entered into, not the Partnerships'
exposure to loss. Changes in fair value from the interest rate swap
agreements which are recognized in the statements of operations were $191
thousand and $697 thousand for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

The prices received by the Partnerships for power sales under their long-
term contracts do not move precisely in tandem with the prices paid by the
Partnerships for natural gas. To mitigate the price risk associated with
purchases of natural gas, the Partnerships may, from time to time, enter
into certain transactions either through public exchanges or by means of
over-the-counter transactions with specific counterparties. The Partnerships
mitigate their risk associated with purchases of natural gas through the use
of natural gas swap agreements that require the Partnerships to pay a fixed
price (absolutely or within a specified range) in return for a variable
price on specified notional quantities of natural gas. The contract amount
of these agreements was 4.2 million MMBtu, 4.3 million MMBtu and 13.4
million MMBtu at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The net
gain reflected as a reduction in fuel costs resulting from the gas swap
agreements was $9.5 million, $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The following estimates of the fair value of financial instruments have been
made using available market information and other valuation methodologies.
However, the use of different market assumptions or methods of valuation could
result in different estimated fair values.

7.  Commitments and Contingencies

Energy Bank and Loan Collateral - Subsequent to the Acquisitions on January
14, 1998, certain credit arrangements were terminated and replaced with new
letters of credit and a guaranty to satisfy requirements in certain power
purchase agreements. On July 1 and December 19, 2000, energy bank letters of
credit were renewed in face amounts of $13.9 million and $54 million. The
$13.9 million letter of credit expires on December 31, 2001 and can be drawn
upon on one occasion in the event that a certain power purchase agreement
has terminated at a time when there is a positive energy bank balance
existing in favor of the power purchaser. The $54 million letter of credit
expires on December 31, 2001 and can be drawn upon in multiple drawings in
the event that a certain power purchase agreement has terminated at the time
when there is a positive energy bank balance existing in favor of the power
purchaser.  The NEA power purchase agreements are also secured by a second
mortgage on the NEA cogeneration facilities.  In addition, on July 1, 2000,
a letter of credit was renewed in the face amount of $23.4 million.  The
$23.4 million letter of credit expires on December 31, 2001 and can be drawn
upon in multiple drawings in the event that insufficient funds are available
in the Partnership trust accounts to pay bond interest and principal.

Once the new credit arrangements mentioned above were put in place in 1998,
cash of approximately $69.2 million (plus approximately $2.5 million in
accrued interest) was released and distributed to the partners.
Additionally, in 1998 new letters of credit were issued in substitution for
cash on deposit in Partnership trust accounts and approximately $33.2
million in cash was released and distributed to the partners.

A guaranty was made by a subsidiary of FPL Group in favor of the trustee
under the indenture relating to the Acquisition Corp. Securities. The
guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of an
amount equal to 50% of the debt service reserve requirement with respect to
the Acquisition Corp. Securities. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2001
and is automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless the
guarantor gives notice that it will not renew. Pursuant to a reimbursement
agreement, NE LP has agreed to repay any amounts paid under such guaranty.

O&M of the Cogeneration Facilities - In 1989, the Partnerships entered into
two separate ten-year O&M agreements with an O&M provider (the previous O&M
provider) for an aggregate annual consideration of approximately $11.1
million, subject to changes in specified indices. Under these agreements,
the Partnerships were required to pay the previous O&M provider a bonus
payable annually over the term of the agreements based on operating
performance. The Partnerships incurred $16.7 million for O&M and bonus
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998. Effective December 31, 1998,
the O&M contracts between the previous O&M provider and the Partnerships
were terminated by mutual consent of both parties. The Partnerships paid the
previous O&M provider $10 million in cash to terminate the agreements and
recorded a net gain of $4.2 million, the effect of which is reflected in the
statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 1998.
Additionally, the Partnerships agreed to pay the previous O&M provider a
total of $15.6 million, which approximates market value, for spare parts
purchased in 1999. An entity related to FPL Energy became the new provider
of O&M services for the Partnerships on January 1, 1999. The Partnerships
incurred $13.9 million and $14.2 million for O&M expense for the year ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, of which $3.4 million and $3.8
million represented salaries paid to the new O&M provider.

Operating Lease - NEA entered into a 26-year operating lease in 1986 for a
parcel of land. The lease may be extended for another 25 years at the option
of NEA. Lease payments under the operating lease are as follows:

Year ending December 31:
2001 .................................................. $  225,000
2002 .................................................. $  237,000
2003 .................................................. $  249,000
2004 .................................................. $  261,000
2005 .................................................. $  273,000
Thereafter ............................................ $1,977,000

Lease expense under this agreement is recognized on a straight-line
levelized basis of approximately $198,000 annually over the lease term.

		       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	       Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


1.  Nature of Business

ESI Tractebel Funding Corp. (Funding Corp.) is a Delaware corporation
established in 1994 as a special purpose funding corporation for the purpose
of issuing the securities described in Note 3. On January 14, 1998, the
Funding Corp. was acquired by a subsidiary of ESI Energy, LLC (ESI Energy),
Tractebel Power, Inc. (Tractebel Power) and Broad Street Contract Services,
Inc. (Broad Street) from Intercontinental Energy Corporation (IEC), a
Massachusetts corporation. Broad Street participates for the purpose of
providing an independent director and has no economic interests. The Funding
Corp. changed its name from IEC Funding Corp. to its current name concurrent
with and related to its acquisition. The Funding Corp. acts as agent of
Northeast Energy Associates, A Limited Partnership and North Jersey Energy
Associates, A Limited Partnership (combined, the Partnerships) with respect
to the securities and holds itself out as agent of the Partnerships in all
dealings with third parties relating to the securities. The Partnerships,
owners of electric power generation stations in the northeastern United
States, are owned indirectly by subsidiaries of ESI Energy and Tractebel
Power.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and 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.

3.  The Securities

The Funding Corp. previously issued secured notes (Securities). The proceeds
from the Securities were used to make loans to the Partnerships. In
connection with this transaction, the notes outstanding under a previous
loan and credit agreement of the Partnerships were surrendered and new notes
of the Partnerships were issued to the Funding Corp. in the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities. Borrowings outstanding are as follows:

8.43% Senior Secured Notes Due 2000 ................................................    $          -   $ 26,333,000

    Long-term debt, excluding current maturities ...................................    $398,720,000   $418,880,000
</TABLE>

Interest on the Securities is payable semiannually on each June 30 and
December 30. Principal repayments are made semiannually in amounts
stipulated in the trust indenture. Future principal payments are as follows:

Year ending December 31:
2001 .................................................. $ 20,160,000
2002 .................................................. $ 22,688,000
2003 .................................................. $ 23,818,000
2004 .................................................. $ 28,564,000
2005 .................................................. $ 45,349,000
Thereafter ............................................ $278,301,000
Total ................................................. $418,880,000

The Securities are not subject to optional redemption but are subject to
mandatory redemption in certain limited circumstances involving the
occurrence of an event of loss, as defined in the trust indenture, for which
the Partnerships fail to or are unable to restore a facility.

The Securities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the
Partnerships and are secured by a lien on, and a security interest in,
substantially all of the assets of the Partnerships. The Partnerships are
jointly and severally required to make scheduled payments on the notes on
dates and in amounts identical to the scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Securities. The Securities, the guarantees thereon provided
by the Partnerships and the notes are nonrecourse to the partners and are
payable solely from the collateral pledged as security.

The trust indenture governing the Securities contains certain restrictions
on certain activities of the Partnerships, including the incurrence of
additional indebtedness or liens, distributions to the partners, the
cancellation of power sale and fuel supply agreements, the use of proceeds
from the issuance of the Securities and the execution of mergers,
consolidations and sales of assets.

4.  Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Securities and the notes receivable from the
Partnerships at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $450 million and $454
million, respectively. The estimate of the fair value has been made using
available market information and other valuation methodologies. However, the
use of different market assumptions or methods of valuation could result in
different estimated fair values.

5.  Quarterly Data (Unaudited)

Condensed consolidated quarterly financial information for 2000 and 1999 is

		       ESI TRACTEBEL ACQUISITION CORP.
			NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	       Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


1.  Nature of Business

ESI Tractebel Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition Corp.) is a Delaware
corporation established on January 12, 1998 as a special purpose funding
corporation for the purpose of issuing the securities described in Note 3.
The Acquisition Corp.'s common stock is jointly owned by a subsidiary of ESI
Energy, LLC (ESI Energy) and by a subsidiary of Tractebel Power, Inc.
(Tractebel Power). The Acquisition Corp. acts as agent of Northeast Energy,
LP (NE LP) with respect to the securities and holds itself out as agent of
NE LP in all dealings with third parties relating to the securities. NE LP
is a Delaware limited partnership that was established on November 21, 1997
for the purpose of acquiring ownership interests in two electric power
generation stations in the northeastern United States (the Partnerships). NE
LP is also owned by subsidiaries of ESI Energy and Tractebel Power.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and 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.

3. The Securities

On February 12, 1998, the Acquisition Corp. issued $220 million of 7.99%
Secured Bonds Due 2011 (Securities). The proceeds from the Securities were
loaned to NE LP, evidenced by a promissory note, for the purpose of
reimbursing certain partners of NE LP for a portion of $545 million in
equity contributions used to acquire the Partnerships. The Securities are
unconditionally guaranteed by NE LP. Borrowings outstanding at December 31,
2000 were $220 million.

Interest on the Securities is payable semiannually on each June 30 and
December 30. Principal repayments are made annually commencing on June 30,
2002 and are in amounts stipulated in the trust indenture. Future principal
payments are as follows:

Year ending December 31:
2002 ...............................................  $  8,800,000
2003 ...............................................  $  8,800,000
2004 ...............................................  $  8,800,000
2005 ...............................................  $  8,800,000
Thereafter .........................................  $184,800,000
Total ..............................................  $220,000,000

The Securities are subject to optional redemption after June 30, 2008 at the
redemption prices set forth in the trust indenture and are subject to
extraordinary mandatory redemption at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof in certain limited circumstances as defined in the
trust indenture.

The Securities are unconditionally guaranteed by NE LP and are payable
solely from payments to be made by NE LP under the promissory note and bond
guaranty. NE LP's obligations to make payments under the promissory note are
nonrecourse to the direct and indirect owners of NE LP. Payments with
respect to the promissory note and, therefore, in respect of the Securities
will be effectively subordinated to payment of all indebtedness and other
liabilities and commitments of the Partnerships, including the guaranty by
the Partnerships of its indebtedness. Repayment of the Securities is
guaranteed by all interests in the Partnerships. The Securities will rank
senior to all subordinated indebtedness and rank evenly with all senior
indebtedness that the Acquisition Corp. incurs in the future.

4.  Financial Instruments

In January 1998, the Acquisition Corp. entered into a fixed interest rate
financial instrument to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the interest
rate associated with the placement of originally issued securities. The
financial instrument was settled on February 17, 1998 and qualified for
hedge accounting. The gain resulting from the hedge was $152 thousand and is
being amortized into income using the effective interest method. The
balances of the deferred gain were $112 thousand and $126 thousand as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Securities and the note receivable from NE
LP at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $220 million and $204 million,
respectively. The estimate of the fair value has been made using available
market information and other valuation methodologies. However, the use of
different market assumptions or methods of valuation could result in different
estimated fair values.

5.  Stockholders' Equity

On January 12, 1998 (Date of Formation), the Acquisition Corp. received stock
subscriptions and subsequently issued 20 shares of common stock, par value
$.10.

6.  Income Taxes

The Acquisition Corp. acts as agent of NE LP with respect to the Securities
and holds itself out as agent of NE LP in all dealings with third parties
relating to the Securities. Accordingly, as a result of the agency
relationship, all tax activity of the Acquisition Corp. for federal and state
income tax purposes represents amounts due to NE LP.
