Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure
(a) Merrill Lynch Presentation On September 25, 2007, Northeast Utilities (“NU”) will give a slide show presentation at the Merrill Lynch Power & Gas Leaders Conference in New York, New York. The slides are attached hereto as Exhibit 99 (“Slide Presentation”), incorporated in this Item 7 by reference thereto and furnished pursuant to Regulation FD.
(b) Glenbrook Cables The information contained in Slides 3, 6, 7, 8 and 16 from the Slide Presentation are deemed modified by the following.
In October 2006, The Connecticut Light and Power Company (“CL&P”), a subsidiary of NU, began construction of a two cable, nine-mile, 115 KV transmission project between Norwalk, Connecticut and Stamford, Connecticut (“Glenbrook Cables”). The project is still scheduled to be placed in service in the second half of 2008. However, based on a current estimate of construction requirements, CL&P has increased the estimate for cost to complete Glenbrook Cables from $183 million to $223 million. CL&P’s other two major southwest Connecticut transmission projects, the $1.05 billion Middletown-Norwalk project and the $72 million Long Island Replacement Cable project, remain on schedule and on budget.
For further information, reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis-Financial Condition and Business Analysis-Business Developments and Capital Expenditures of NU’s and CL&P’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2007.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99, shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by NU, CL&P, Public Service Company of New Hampshire or Western Massachusetts Electric Company, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless otherwise specified.
