            CONNECTICUT YANKEE TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT, dated as
         of October 1, 1964, between The Connecticut Light and
         Power Company, New England Power Company, Boston Edison
         Company, The United Illuminating Company, Western
         Massachusetts
<PAGE>
Electric Company, Central Maine Power Company, Public Service
Company of New Hampshire, Montaup Electric Company, Cambridge
Electric Light Company, Central Vermont Public Service
Corporation, Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc., Commonwealth
Electric Company, and Maine Electric Power Company.

            Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
         ("Connecticut Yankee") is constructing a nuclear
         electric generating unit at a site adjacent to the
         Connecticut River at Haddam Neck, Connecticut.  The unit
         has been designed to have an initial electrical capacity
         of approximately 490 emw gross and 463 emw net, and is
         presently scheduled for commercial operation on or
         before October 1, 1967.

            The parties to this agreement except for Vermont
         Electric Power, Inc., Commonwealth Electric Company and
         Maine Electric Power Company are stockholders of
         Connecticut Yankee, and by separate power contracts
         dated as of July 1, 1964 have contracted to purchase the
         entire net electrical capacity and output of the
         Connecticut Yankee unit in the following percentages:

         The Connecticut Light and Power Company . . . . . .34.5%
         New England Power Company . . . . . . . . . . . . .15.0%
         Boston Edison Company . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.5%
         The United Illuminating Company . . . . . . . . . . 9.5%
         Western Massachusetts Electric Power  . . . . . . . 9.5%
         Central Maine Power Company . . . . . . . . . . . . 6.0%
         Public Service Company of New Hampshire . . . . . . 5.0%
         Montaup Electric Company  . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.5%
         Cambridge Electric Light Company. . . . . . . . . . 4.5%
         Central Vermont Public Service Corporation  . . . . 2.0%
                                                          -----
                                                          100.0%
    
         Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc., Commonwealth
    Electric Company and Maine Electric Power Company are not
    stockholders of Connecticut Yankee, but transmit Connecticut
    Yankee power over their systems to such stockholders and are
    deemed to be parties to this agreement.

         Deliveries under the Connecticut Yankee power contracts
    will be made at the site at a nominal voltage of 345 kV.

         This agreement provides for transmission of the power
    purchased by the Connecticut Yankee stockholders over the
    interconnected facilities of the parties for delivery to the
<PAGE>
    individual systems of the stockholders of Connecticut Yankee
    who have a common interest in the Connecticut Yankee Unit. 
    It is the intent of the parties that a uniform transmission
    charge shall be payable for each kilowatt of Connecticut
    Yankee capacity by each party for whom transmission services
    are rendered, and that the changes so assessed shall be paid
    to the transmitting parties in proportion to their respective
    transmission responsibilities.

SECTION 2.  AMENDMENTS TO OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE CY AGREEMENT
----------  --------------------------------------------------

    A.      The first sentence of the first paragraph of Section
         4 of the CY Agreement is amended to read as follows:
            Each party for whom transmission services are
         rendered pursuant to this agreement (as shown on
         Appendix C, as amended from time to time) shall pay a
         transmission charge at the annual rate of $3.09 per
         kilowatt of its capacity entitlement under the
         Connecticut Yankee power contracts.

    B.   The third paragraph of Section 4 of the CY Agreement is
         amended by adding a third sentence that reads as
         follows:

            The methodology of determining receipts shall be
         based on the kilowatt-miles of transmission capacity
         made available by a transmitting party.

    C.   The CY Agreement is amended by adding new Sections 10
         and 11, as follows:

         10.  Right of Transmitting Parties to Change Rate
              Schedules.
            ---------------------------------------------

            Each transmitting party reserves the right to submit
         for filing without the concurrence of any other party
         other rate schedules modifying or superseding this
         Agreement, subject to Section 11 below, and each party
         reserves the right to object to such rate schedules.

            Any changes to transmission charges proposed by The
         Connecticut Light and Power Company shall be based on
         the methodology used to determine the transmission
         charges under the Amendment to the Maine Yankee
         Transmission
<PAGE>
Agreement dated January 19, 1994 and the Amendment to the Vermont
Yankee Transmission Agreement, dated January 19, 1994.  The
assumptions and methods used to determine the transmission
responsibilities of the parties as shown in Appendix A, does not
set a precedent for redetermination of such responsibilities
under any future Amendments to the CY Agreement.

         11.  Moratorium on Changes to Assumptions and Methods.
            -------------------------------------------------

            None of the parties shall seek an effective date
         prior to the expiration of three (3) years from the
         effective date of this Amendment, for any changes to the
         transmission charge, distribution of revenues,
         assumptions and methods or appendices specified in the
         CY Agreement as amended hereby.  All parties hereby
         reserve their rights, individually and jointly, to
         protest, support or otherwise intervene in any
         proceeding involving a change in the transmission
         charge, distribution of revenues, assumptions and
         methods or appendices of the CY Agreement or this
         Amendment.

SECTION 3.    REVISION OF APPENDICES
----------    -----------------------

    A.      Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C shall be
         deleted in their entirety and replaced with the attached
         revisions.

SECTION 4.    EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT
---------     --------------------------

    A.      This Amendment shall become effective on such later
         date as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall
         permit the last of the Amendments to the Connecticut
         Yankee Transmission Agreement dated January 19, 1994,
         Maine Yankee Transmission Agreement dated January 19,
         1994 or the Vermont Yankee Transmission Agreement dated
         January 19, 1994 to become effective.
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.    COUNTERPARTS
---------     ------------

    A.      This Amendment may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but
         all of which together shall constitute one and the same
         instrument.  It shall not be a condition to the
         effectiveness of this Amendment that each of the parties
         has executed the same or different counterparts.

SECTION 6.    INTERDEPENDENCIES
----------    ------------------

    A.      The terms of this Amendment have resulted from
         negotiations over transmission agreements relative to
         the Connecticut Yankee, Maine Yankee and Vermont Yankee
         nuclear units.  The parties to this Amendment to the CY
         Agreement agree that the provisions hereof are not
         severable from the Amendment to the MY Transmission
         Agreement dated January 19, 1994 and from the Amendment
         to the VY Transmission Agreement dated January 19, 1994
         and agree to support these Amendments in their entirety.

            This Amendment is expressly conditioned upon
         acceptance by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
         of all provisions hereof, the Amendment to the MY
         Transmission Agreement dated January 19, 1994 and the
         Amendment to the VY Transmission Agreement dated January
         19, 1994, without change or condition.  In the event the
         Federal Energy Regulatory Commission does not by order
         accept these Amendments in their entirety, this
         Amendment shall be deemed to be null and void, unless
         otherwise agreed by all parties.
<PAGE>
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the signatories have executed this
Amendment by their respective duly authorized officers, as of
this 19th day of January, 1994.
