SECTION 1         CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT, ETC.

                  1.1 CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT. The Consenting Party (a)
acknowledges that the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties are entering into
the Financing Documents in reliance upon the execution and delivery by the

respects to the pledge and assignment to the Collateral Agent of all of the

                  1.2 SUBSTITUTE OWNER. The Consenting Party agrees that, if the
Collateral Agent shall notify the Consenting Party that an event of default
under any of the Financing Documents has occurred and is continuing and that the
Collateral Agent has exercised its rights (a) to have itself or its designee
substituted for the Partnership under the Assigned Agreement or (b) to sell,
assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Assigned Agreement to a person,
then the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's designee or such person (each,
a "Substitute Owner") shall be substituted for the Partnership under the
Assigned Agreement and that, in such event, the Consenting Party will continue
to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of the
Substitute Owner.

                  1.3 RIGHT TO CURE. The Consenting Party agrees that in the
event of a default by the Partnership in the performance of any of its
obligations under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Assigned Agreement which
would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the
giving of notice, or both, enable the Consenting Party to terminate or suspend
its obligations or exercise any other right or remedy under the Assigned
Agreement or under applicable law (hereinafter a "default"), the Consenting
Party will continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement and
will not exercise any such right or remedy until it first gives prompt written
notice of such default to the Collateral Agent and affords the Collateral Agent,
the Collateral Agent's designee and the Senior Parties a period of the longer of
(a) sixty (60) days (or if such default is a non-monetary default, such longer
period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days as is required so long as any
such party has commenced and is diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure
such default) from receipt of such notice to cure such default or (b) the
termination of the Partnership's right to cure such default under the Assigned
Agreement, provided that in the event that a Substitute Owner assumes the rights
and obligations of the Partnership under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to a
written assumption agreement (a copy of which is provided to the Consenting
Party), such Substitute Owner shall have 60 days from the date of such
assumption agreement to cure such default or if such default is a non-monetary
default, such longer period so long as such Substitute Owner has commenced and
is diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure such default; provided,
however, that if any such party is prohibited from curing any such default by
any process, stay or injunction issued by any governmental authority or pursuant
to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Partnership, then the
time periods specified in this Section 1.3 for curing a default shall be
extended for the period of such prohibition.

                  1.4 NO TERMINATION, ASSIGNMENT OR MATERIAL AMENDMENTS. The
Consenting Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent, enter into any consensual cancellation or termination of the Assigned
Agreement, or assign or otherwise transfer any of its right, title and interest
thereunder or consent to any such assignment or transfer by the Partnership.

                  1.5 REPLACEMENT AGREEMENT. In the event that the Assigned
Agreement is terminated as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding
affecting the Partnership, the Consenting Party will, at the option of the
Collateral Agent enter into a new agreement with the Collateral Agent (or its
transferee or other nominee that owns or leases the Project) having terms
substantially the same as the terms of the Assigned Agreement.

Parties shall have any liability or obligation under the Assigned Agreement as a
result of this Consent, the Security Documents or otherwise, nor shall the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's designee or the Senior Parties be
obligated or required to (a) perform any of the Partnership's obligations under
the Assigned Agreement, except, in the case of the Collateral Agent or the
Collateral Agent's designee, during any period in which the Collateral Agent or
the Collateral Agent's designee is a Substitute Owner pursuant to Section 1.2
hereof, in which case (i) the obligations of such Substitute Owner shall be no
more than that of the Partnership under such Assigned Agreement, (ii) such
Substitute Owner shall have no personal liability to the Consenting Party for
the performance of such obligations and (iii) the sole recourse of the
Consenting Party shall be to such Substituted Owner's interest in the Project,
or (b) take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned

                  1.7 PERFORMANCE UNDER ASSIGNED AGREEMENT. The Consenting Party

                  1.8 DELIVERY OF NOTICES. The Consenting Party shall deliver to

SECTION 3         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CONSENTING PARTY

                  In order to induce the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties
to enter into the Financing Documents, the Consenting Party makes the following
representations and warranties, which shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  3.1 ORGANIZATION; POWER AND AUTHORITY. The Consenting Party is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of its incorporation, and is duly qualified, authorized to do
business and in good standing in every jurisdiction in which it owns or leases
real property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so
qualified, and has all requisite power and authority, corporate and otherwise,
to enter into and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Assigned
Agreement, and to carry out the terms hereof and thereof and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  3.2 AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Consenting Party of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Consenting Party
and do not require any approval or consent of any holder (or any trustee for any
holder) of any indebtedness or other obligation of (a) the Consenting Party or
(b) any other person or entity, except approvals or consents which have
previously been obtained.

                  3.3 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY; BINDING AGREEMENTS. Each of this
Consent and the Assigned Agreement is in full force and effect, has been duly
executed and delivered on behalf of the Consenting Party by the appropriate
officers of the Consenting Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Consenting Party, enforceable against the Consenting Party in
accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
(a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) general equitable principles
(whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                  3.4 LITIGATION. There is no legislation, litigation, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation pending or (to the best of the Consenting
Party's knowledge after due inquiry) threatened against the Consenting Party
before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental
authority, body or agency which, if adversely determined, individually or in the
aggregate, (a) could adversely affect the performance by the Consenting Party of
its obligations hereunder or under the Assigned Agreement, or which could modify
or otherwise adversely affect the Approvals (as defined in Section 3.6 hereof),
(b) questions the validity, binding effect or enforceability hereof or of the
Assigned Agreement, any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) could have a
material adverse effect upon (i) the business, operations, properties, assets,
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Consenting Party, (ii) the ability
of the Consenting Party to perform under the Assigned Agreement or this Consent,
(iii) the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Project, (iv) the value, validity, perfection and
enforceability of the liens granted to the Collateral Agent under the Security
Documents or (v) the ability of the Collateral Agent or the Senior Parties to
enforce any of their material rights and

                                       5
<PAGE>

remedies under the Assigned Agreement or this Consent (collectively, a "Material
Adverse Effect").

                  3.5 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS, ETC. The Consenting
Party is not in violation of its charter or by-laws, and the execution, delivery
and performance by the Consenting Party of this Consent and the Assigned
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not result in any violation of, breach of or default under any term
of its charter or by-laws, or of any contract or agreement to which it is a
party or by which it or its property is bound, or of any license, permit,
franchise, judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order, charter, law, ordinance,
rule or regulation applicable to it, except for any such violations which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Consenting Party.

                  3.6 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No consent, order, authorization,
waiver, approval or any other action, or registration, declaration or filing
with, any person, board or body, public or private (collectively, the
"Approvals"), is required to be obtained by the Consenting Party in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance of the Assigned Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except as listed in
Exhibit B hereto. All such Approvals listed on Exhibit B, except for those set
forth in Part II thereof (the "Deferred Approvals"), are Final (as defined
below). An Approval shall be "Final" if it has been validly issued, is in full
force and effect, is not subject to any condition (other than compliance with
the terms thereof), does not impose restrictions or requirements inconsistent
with the terms of the Assigned Agreement, and is final and not subject to any
appeal. The Consenting Party reasonably believes that each Deferred Approval
will be obtained in the ordinary course of business prior to the time when such
Deferred Approval is required to be Final.

                  3.7 NO DEFAULT OR AMENDMENT. Neither the Consenting Party nor,
to the best of the Consenting Party's knowledge after due inquiry, any other
party to the Assigned Agreement is in default of any of its obligations
thereunder. The Consenting Party has no existing counterclaims, offsets or
defenses against the Partnership. The Consenting Party and, to the best of the
Consenting Party's knowledge after due inquiry, each other party to the Assigned
Agreement has complied with all conditions precedent to the respective
obligations of such party to perform under the Assigned Agreement. To the best
of the Consenting Party's knowledge after due inquiry, no event or condition
exists which would either immediately or with the passage of any applicable
grace period or giving of notice, or both, enable either the Consenting Party or
the Partnership to terminate or suspend its obligations under the Assigned
Agreement. The Assigned Agreement has not been amended, modified or supplemented
in any manner.

                  3.8 NO PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS. The Consenting Party has no
notice of, and has not consented to, any previous assignment of all or any part
of its rights under the Assigned Agreement.

                  3.9 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations,
warranties and other statements made by the Consenting Party in the Assigned
Agreement were true and correct as of the date when made and are true and
correct as of the date of this Consent.

         Re:      Natural Gas-Fired Electric Generating Facility Located in
Heard County, Georgia (the "Project")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         In connection with the generation facility to be constructed in Heard
County, in the State of Georgia we have acted as counsel to Tenaska Operations,
Inc., a Delaware corporation.

         This opinion is being provided to you pursuant to the Agreement as to
Certain Understandings, Common Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Other
Terms dated as of November 1, 1999 (the "Common Agreement") by and among Tenaska
Georgia Partners, L.P., The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee, the
Toronto-Dominion Bank as DSR LOC Agent, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as PPA LOC
Agent and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Common Agreement.

<PAGE>

     In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the documents, i.e., the Operations
and Maintenance Agreement and the Consent and Agreement of Tenaska Operations,
Inc. executed on September 10, 1999 by and between Tenaska Operations, Inc. and
Tenaska Georgia Partners, L.P. and Amendment to Operations and Maintenance
Agreement executed on October 26, 1999 by and between Tenaska Georgia Partners,
L.P. and Tenaska Operations, Inc., and the Second Amendment to Operations and
Maintenance Agreement executed on November ____, 1999 by and between Tenaska
Georgia Partners, L.P. and Tenaska Operations, Inc. (the "Documents").

         In addition, we have examined and are familiar with originals or
copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of authorizing
resolutions of Tenaska Operations, Inc., and of the articles of incorporation
and by-laws of Tenaska Operations, Inc., as well as such other documents as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth
below.

         In our examination we have assumed the due execution and delivery of
the Documents on behalf of the parties to the Documents, other than Tenaska
Operations, Inc. (provided however, that we have assumed due execution and
delivery with respect to the Borrower), the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted as originals, the conformity to original
documents of all documents submitted as certified or photostatic copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. In rendering the opinions
expressed below, we have further assumed, without any independent investigation
or verification of any kind, that each Document we have examined is the valid
and binding obligation of each party thereto other than of Tenaska Operations,
Inc.

         We are admitted to the bar of the State of Nebraska. We express no
opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State
of Nebraska, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America, and (iii)
the laws of the State of Delaware pertaining to corporations. For purposes of
the opinions set forth in paragraph 1 with respect to the qualification to do
business in the State of Georgia of Tenaska Operations, Inc. we have relied
exclusively on certificates from, and oral representations of, officers and
employees of the State of Georgia.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that:

         1. Tenaska Operations, Inc. is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Tenaska
Operations, Inc. is duly qualified to do business in the State of Georgia and is
duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases
real property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so
qualified.

         2. Tenaska Operations, Inc. has all corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform obligations under the Documents and the execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Documents by Tenaska Operations, Inc.
has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of Tenaska
Operations, Inc.

<PAGE>

         3. Tenaska Operations, Inc. has duly executed and delivered the
Documents.

         4. The execution, delivery and performance by Tenaska Operations, Inc.
of each of the Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, will not (a) result in any violation of (i)
any contract, agreement or governing document applicable to Tenaska Operations,
Inc., (ii) of any license, permit, franchise, judgment, writ, injunction,
decree, order or of any Nebraska or federal law, ordinance, rule or regulations
thereunder applicable to Tenaska Operations, Inc., or (b) require the consent of
any other Person or result in the imposition of any lien on the property of
Tenaska Operations, Inc.

         5. There are no pending or, to the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, threatened actions or proceedings affecting Tenaska Operations, Inc. or
any of their properties or assets that individually or in the aggregate could
prohibit or limit in any way or adversely affect the execution, delivery and
performance of the Documents to which it is a party.

         6. No consent, order, authorization, waiver, approval or any other
action, or registration, declaration or filing with, any public person, board or
body, is required to be obtained by Tenaska Operations, Inc. in connection with
the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby.

         This opinion is being furnished only to the addressees hereto, and
their respective successors and assigns and is solely for the benefit of such
parties; provided that assignees of, or participants in, the interests of any
such entities may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them.

         This opinion is rendered as of the date hereof, the opinions expressed
herein are given only as of the date hereof, and we expressly decline any
undertaking to revise or update any of the opinions subsequent to the date
hereof or to advise you of any matter arising subsequent to the date hereof,
including but not limited to a change in law or procedure, which would cause us
to modify our opinion in whole or in part.<PAGE>

                                                                    Exhibit 4.14

                          HEARD COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY

                              CONSENT AND AGREEMENT

         This CONSENT AND AGREEMENT (this "Consent"), dated as of November 10,

Senior Parties (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

                  WHEREAS, the Partnership proposes to develop, construct,

simple-cycle electric generating plant in Heard County, Georgia (the "PROJECT").

                  WHEREAS, the Partnership intends to finance the development,
construction and start-up of the Project, through the issuance of certain bonds
(the "BONDS") pursuant to a trust indenture, dated as of November 1, 1999
between the Partnership and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the

                  WHEREAS, the Project will be owned by the Development

under the laws of the State of Georgia (the "AUTHORITY"), and will be leased to
the Partnership pursuant to a Lease Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1999
between the Authority and the Partnership.

                  WHEREAS, the Authority will issue its Industrial Development
Revenue Bonds (the "DAHC BONDS") pursuant to a trust indenture, dated as of
November 1, 1999 between the Authority and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as DAHC
Trustee (the "DAHC INDENTURE").

                  WHEREAS, the DAHC Bonds will be purchased by the Partnership
and pledged to the Collateral Agent, along with certain other collateral to
secure the obligations of the Partnership under the Bonds.

                  WHEREAS, in addition to the DAHC Bonds and related collateral,
all obligations of the Partnership with respect to the Bonds, and any other
agreements evidencing senior debt of the Partnership (collectively, the
"FINANCING DOCUMENTS") to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, each successor
thereto and each other person that becomes a secured party under any Financing
Document (collectively, the "SENIOR PARTIES") will be secured by a certain
Security Agreement, Collateral Agency Agreement, Deed to Secured Debt, Security
Agreement and Assignment of Rents and Leases, each Third Party Consent and any
other document providing for any lien, pledge, encumbrance, mortgage or security
interest (collectively, the "SECURITY DOCUMENTS").

<PAGE>

                  WHEREAS, the Senior Parties, the Authority and the Partnership
have entered into the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement (as amended,
restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance
with the terms thereof, the "COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT") to set forth their
mutual understanding with respect to (a) the exercise of certain rights,
remedies and options by the respective parties thereto under the above described
documents, (b) the priority of their respective security interests created by
the Security Documents, and (c) the appointment of the Collateral Agent as
collateral agent.

                  WHEREAS, the Consenting Party and the Partnership have entered
into a Water Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 25, 1999 (as amended,
restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance
with the terms thereof, the "ASSIGNED AGREEMENT").

                  WHEREAS, the Partnership has notified the Consenting Party
that the Partnership has granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent and
all of the Partnership's rights, title and interest in, to and under the
Assigned Agreement are to be assigned to the Collateral Agent as security
pursuant to one or more of the Security Documents.

                  WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Senior Parties to enter into their respective Financing Documents that the
Consenting Party execute and deliver this Consent.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Senior Parties to make
the Loans, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt
of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the
Consenting Party hereby agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT, ETC.

         1.1 CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT. The Consenting Party (a) acknowledges that
the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties are entering into the Financing
Documents in reliance upon the execution and delivery by the Consenting Party of
the Assigned Agreement and this Consent, (b) consents in all respects to the
pledge and assignment to the Collateral Agent of all of the Partnership's
rights, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to
one or more of the Security Documents, and (c) acknowledges the right, but not
the obligation, of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent's designee, in
the exercise of the Collateral Agent's rights and remedies under the Security
Documents, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise
all rights of the Partnership in accordance with the Assigned Agreement, and
agrees that, in such event, the Consenting Party shall continue to perform its
obligations under the Assigned Agreement.

         1.2 SUBSTITUTE OWNER. The Consenting Party agrees that, if the
Collateral Agent shall notify the Consenting Party that an event of default
under the Financing Documents has occurred and is continuing and that the
Collateral Agent has exercised its rights (a) to have itself or its designee
substituted for the Partnership under the Assigned Agreement or (b) to sell,
assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Assigned Agreement to a person,
then the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's designee or such person (each,
a "SUBSTITUTE OWNER") shall be substituted

                                       2
<PAGE>

for the Partnership under the Assigned Agreement and that, in such event, the
Consenting Party will continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned
Agreement in favor of the Substitute Owner.

         1.3 RIGHT TO CURE. The Consenting Party agrees that in the event of a
default by the Partnership in the performance of any of its obligations under
the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or
condition under the Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the
passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable
the Consenting Party to terminate or suspend its obligations or exercise any
other right or remedy under the Assigned Agreement or under applicable law
(hereinafter a "DEFAULT"), the Consenting Party will continue to perform its
obligations under the Assigned Agreement and will not exercise any such right or
remedy until it first gives prompt written notice of such default to the
Collateral Agent and affords the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's
designee and the Senior Parties a period of at least sixty (60) days (or if such
default is a non-monetary default, such longer period not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days as is required so long as any such party has commenced and is
diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure such default) from receipt of
such notice to cure such default; provided, however, that if any such party is
prohibited from curing any such default by any process, stay or injunction
issued by any governmental authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding involving the Partnership, then the time periods specified in this
Section 1.3 for curing a default shall be extended for the period of such
prohibition. The Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties shall have no right to
require the Consenting Party to enter into a new agreement under Section 1.4
below or cure a default under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to this Section
1.3 if the Assigned Agreement was terminated by the Consenting Party pursuant to
the termination option contained in Section 16(a) of the Assigned Agreement, but
the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties shall have the right to require
Consenting Party to enter into a new agreement under Section 1.4 below and to
cure any default and/or Triggering Event under the Assigned Agreement pursuant
to this Section 1.3 if the Assigned Agreement was terminated by the Consenting
Party pursuant to the termination option contained in Section 16(b) of the
Assigned Agreement.

         1.4 NO TERMINATION, ASSIGNMENTS OR MATERIAL AMENDMENTS. The Consenting
Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, enter
into any consensual cancellation or termination of the Assigned Agreement, or
assign or otherwise transfer any of its right, title and interest thereunder or
consent to any such assignment or transfer by the Partnership. The Consenting
Party will not enter into any material amendment, supplement or other
modification of the Assigned Agreement (an "AMENDMENT") until after the
Collateral Agent has been given ten (10) days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and
any days which are a legal holiday in New York or any days on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law or government action to close)
prior written notice of the proposed Amendment by the Partnership (a copy of
which notice will be provided to the Consenting Party by the Partnership), and
will not then enter into such Amendment if the Consenting Party has, within such
ten (10) day period, received a copy of (i) the Collateral Agent's objection to
such Amendment or (ii) the Collateral Agent's request to the Partnership for
additional information with respect to such Amendment.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         In the event that the Assigned Agreement is terminated as a result of
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding affecting the Partnership, the
Consenting Party will, at the option of the Collateral Agent, enter into a new
agreement with the Collateral Agent (or its transferee or other nominee that
owns or leases the Project) having terms substantially the same as the terms of
the Assigned Agreement, provided that (i) such option to enter into a new
agreement is exercised by the Collateral Agent within sixty (60) days after the
date the Consenting Party gives the Senior Parties and the Collateral Agent
written notice of such termination, and (ii) the Senior Parties or the
Collateral Agent pay any amounts due under the Assigned Agreement for Water (as
defined in the Assigned Agreement) delivered to the Partnership that remains
outstanding and unpaid as of the date of the new agreement.

         1.5 NO LIABILITY. The Consenting Party acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's designee or the Senior
Parties shall have any liability or obligation under the Assigned Agreement as a
result of this Consent, the Security Documents or otherwise, nor shall the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent's designee or the Senior Parties be
obligated or required to (a) perform any of the Partnership's obligations under
the Assigned Agreement, except, in the case of the Collateral Agent or the
Collateral Agent's designee, during any period in which the Collateral Agent or
the Collateral Agent's designee is a Substitute Owner pursuant to Section 1.2,
in which case (i) the obligations of such Substitute Owner shall be no more than
that of the Partnership under such Assigned Agreement, (ii) such Substitute
Owner shall have no personal liability to the Consenting Party for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the sole recourse of the Consenting
Party shall be to such Substituted Owner's interest in the Project, or (b) take
any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under the
Security Documents.

         1.6 PERFORMANCE UNDER ASSIGNED AGREEMENT. The Consenting Party shall
perform and comply with all material terms and provisions of the Assigned
Agreement to be performed or complied with by it and shall maintain the Assigned
Agreement in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

         1.7 DELIVERY OF NOTICES. The Consenting Party shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent, concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Partnership, a
copy of each notice, request or demand given by the Consenting Party pursuant to
the Assigned Agreement.

         1.8 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The Consenting Party agrees to execute such
acknowledgments or other similar instruments as the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably request in connection with the transactions provided for in this
Consent.

SECTION 2. PAYMENTS UNDER THE ASSIGNED AGREEMENT

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CONSENTING PARTY

         In order to induce the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties to enter
into their respective Financing Documents, the Consenting Party makes the
following representations and warranties, which shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

         3.1 ORGANIZATION. The Consenting Party is a legally created political
subdivision and public corporation of the State of Georgia, duly organized,
validly existing, qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing
under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Georgia, and has all requisite
power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to enter into and to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Assigned Agreement, and to carry out the
terms hereof and thereof and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

         3.2 AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Consenting Party of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and member action on the part of the
Consenting Party and do not require any approval or consent of any holder (or
any trustee for any holder) of any indebtedness or other obligation of (a) the
Consenting Party or (b) any other person or entity, except approvals or consents
which have previously been obtained.

         3.3 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY; BINDING AGREEMENTS. Each of this Consent
and the Assigned Agreement is in full force and effect, has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of the Consenting Party by the appropriate officers of
the Consenting Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Consenting Party, enforceable against the Consenting Party in accordance
with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) general equitable principles
(whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         3.4 LITIGATION. There is no legislation, litigation, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation pending or (to the best of the Consenting Party's
knowledge after due inquiry) threatened against the Consenting Party before or
by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental authority, body
or agency which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, (a)
could adversely affect the performance by the Consenting Party of its
obligations hereunder or under the Assigned Agreement, or which could modify or
otherwise adversely affect the Approvals (as defined in Section 3.6 of this
Consent), (b) questions the validity, binding effect or enforceability hereof or
of the Assigned Agreement, any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or
thereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) could
have a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, operations, properties,
assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Consenting Party, (ii) the
ability of the Consenting Party to perform under the Assigned Agreement or this
Consent, (iii) the business, operations, properties, assets, prospects or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Project, (iv) the value, validity,
perfection and enforceability of the liens granted to the Collateral Agent under
the Security Documents or (v) the ability of the Collateral Agent or the Senior
Parties to enforce any of their material rights and remedies under the Assigned
Agreement or this Consent (collectively, a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").

                                       5
<PAGE>

         3.5 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Consenting Party is not in
violation of its charter or by-laws, and the execution, delivery and performance
by the Consenting Party of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result
in any violation of, breach of or default under any term of its charter or
by-laws, or of any contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it
or its property is bound, or of any license, permit, franchise, judgment, writ,
injunction, decree, order, charter, law, ordinance, rule or regulation
applicable to it, except for any such violations which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Consenting Party.

         3.6 GOVERNMENT CONSENT. No consent, order, authorization, waiver,
approval or any other action, or registration, declaration or filing with, any
person, board or body, public or private (collectively, the "APPROVALS"), is
required to be obtained by the Consenting Party in connection with the
execution, delivery or performance of the Assigned Agreement or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except as listed in Exhibit B
hereto. All such Approvals listed on Exhibit B, except for those set forth in
Part II thereof (the "DEFERRED APPROVALS"), are Final (as defined below). An
Approval shall be "FINAL" if it has been validly issued, is in full force and
effect, is not subject to any condition (other than compliance with the terms
thereof), does not impose restrictions or requirements inconsistent with the
terms of the Assigned Agreement, and is final and not subject to any appeal. The
Consenting Party reasonably believes that each Deferred Approval will be
obtained in the ordinary course of business prior to the time when such Deferred
Approval is required to be Final.

         3.7 NO DEFAULT OR AMENDMENT. Neither the Consenting Party nor, to the
best of the Consenting Party's knowledge after due inquiry, any other party to
the Assigned Agreement is in default of any of its obligations thereunder. Thee
Consenting Party has no existing counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the
Partnership. The Consenting Party and, to the best of the Consenting Party's
knowledge after due inquiry, each other party to the Assigned Agreement have
complied with all conditions precedent to the respective obligations of such
party to be performed under the Assigned Agreement. To the best of the
Consenting Party's knowledge after due inquiry, no event or condition exists
which would either immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace
period or giving of notice, or both, enable either the Consenting Party or the
Partnership to terminate or suspend its obligations under the Assigned
Agreement. The Assigned Agreement has not been amended, modified or supplemented
in any manner.

         3.8 NO PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS. The Consenting Party has no notice of, and
has not consented to, any previous assignment of all or any part of its rights
under the Assigned Agreement.

         3.9 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations, warranties and
other statements made by the Consenting Party in the Assigned Agreement were
true and correct as of the date when made and are true and correct as of the
date of this Consent.

SECTION 4. OPINION OF COUNSEL The Consenting Party shall deliver an opinion of
counsel relating to the Assigned Agreement and this Consent substantially in the
form of Exhibit

                                       6

Consent brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably
waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action

Finance Liabilities provided that (i) within five (5) days following delivery by
the Collateral Agent to the Consenting Party of the Termination Notice pursuant

(w) the term "FINANCE LIABILITIES" under this Consent will be deemed to refer to

warranties made by the Consenting Party herein shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the Senior Parties and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Consent.

         5.10 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of
the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and
no course of dealing between the Consenting Party and the Collateral Agent shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other exercise, or the further
exercise, of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have.

         5.11 WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. To the extent that the Consenting
Party is protected by sovereign immunity, the Consenting Party hereby
acknowledges that, pursuant to the Georgia Constitution (1983 Ga. Const. Article
I, Section II, Paragraph IX(c)) and O.C.G.A. Section 50-21-1(a), and to the
extent permitted by other applicable law, the Consenting Party irrevocably
waives, and that it intends to irrevocably waive, the defense of sovereign
immunity in connection with any matters related to this Consent or the
performance of the Consenting Party hereunder. To the extent that the Consenting
Party and its assets are protected by sovereign immunity and it is determined
for any reason that the Consenting Party has not effectively waived its
sovereign immunity, then the Consenting Party further agrees not to raise the
defense of sovereign immunity in connection with any matters related to this
Consent or the performance of the Consenting Party hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing waiver of sovereign immunity, the Consenting Party reserves and is
not waiving the right to raise sovereign immunity as a defense to any civil
action or actions brought by persons or entities other than the Collateral
Agent, the Senior Parties, the Partnership, and their respective successors and
assigns.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Consenting Party, the Partnership and the
Collateral Agent have caused this Consent to be duly executed and delivered by
their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above
written.

                           FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

[Other Addressees]

Tenaska Georgia Partners, L.P.
2000 E. Lamar Blvd., Suite 430
Arlington, Texas 76006

                 Re:  The 950 MW peaking electric power generation process
                      facility located in Heard County, Georgia (the "Project").

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I have acted as counsel to Heard County Water Authority, a public
corporation and political subdivision of the State of Georgia created and
existing under the laws of the State of Georgia (the "Authority"), in connection
with the Project to be constructed by Tenaska Georgia Partners, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("TGP"), for which the Authority will provide the supply and
use of water pursuant to the Water Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 25,
1999 between TGP and the Authority (the "Purchase Agreement"). This opinion is
being provided in connection with the transactions contemplated by the terms of
the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof by and among TGP, the
Authority, and the Purchasers of the Bonds (as defined in the Bond Purchase
Agreement).

         In connection with this opinion, I have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the following:

                        (i)  the Purchase Agreement;

                       (ii)  the Consent and Agreement of the Authority to the
                             Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
                             (the "Consent");

                      (iii)  the Charter, By-laws, and any rules and regulations
                             governing of the Authority; and

                       (iv)  the resolutions authorizing the execution and
                             delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the Consent,

                             Authority;

         The documents referred to in items (iii) and (iv) above are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Governing Documents," and the Purchase
Agreement and the Consent are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Documents." In addition, I have examined and am familiar with originals or
copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such other
documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions
set forth below.

<PAGE>

         In my examination I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic
copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In rendering the
opinions expressed below, I have further assumed, without any independent
investigation or verification of any kind, that each Document I have examined is
the valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Authority.
This opinion assumes that each of the Documents has been duly executed and
delivered by, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of, and are
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against, each party to
such Documents other than the Authority.

         I am admitted to the bar of the State of Georgia. I express no opinion
as to the law of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of
Georgia and (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion
that:

              1. The Authority is a a public corporation and political
         subdivision of the State of Georgia created and existing under the laws
         of the State of Georgia duly organized, validly existing and in good
         standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. The Authority is duly
         qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which it owns or
         leases real property or in which the nature of its business requires it
         to be so qualified.

              2. The Authority has full corporate power and authority to enter
         into, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Documents.

              3. The Authority has taken all necessary corporate action to
         authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each
         Document.

              4. The Authority has duly executed and delivered each Document.

              5. Each Document constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
         the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its
         terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
         enforcement of creditors rights generally and by general principles of
         equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
         equity or at law).

              6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Authority of the
         Documents will not: (i) contravene any applicable provision of any law,
         regulation, ruling, order or decree of any governmental authority to
         which or by which the Authority or any of its property or assets is
         subject or bound or (ii) violate any provision of the Governing
         Documents of the Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by
         the Authority of the Documents do not and will not, to the best of my
         knowledge after due inquiry, conflict with, result in any breach of, or
         constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
         (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien or encumbrance upon
         any of the property or assets of the Authority pursuant to any
         provision of any securities issued by the Authority, or any indenture,
         mortgage, deed of trust, contract,

<PAGE>

         undertaking, document, instrument or other agreement to which the
         Authority is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is
         bound.

              7. No consent, order, authorization, waiver, approval or any other
         action, or registration, declaration or filing with, any person, board
         or body, public or private, is required to be obtained by the Authority
         in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the
         Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

              8. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, there are no
         pending or threatened actions or proceedings affecting the Authority or
         any of its properties or assets that individually or in the aggregate
         could prohibit or limit in any way the execution, delivery and
         performance by the Authority of any of the Documents.

         This opinion is being furnished only to the addressees hereof and their
respective successors and assigns and is solely for the benefit of such parties;
provided that assignees of, or participants in, the interests of the addressees
of this letter may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them.

                                           Very truly yours,
