Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Savings Plan Board of the Employees Savings Plan of Commonwealth
Energy System and Subsidiary Companies:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the
EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN OF COMMONWEALTH ENERGY SYSTEM AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income and
changes in participants' equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements and schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the plan administrator. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Employees Savings Plan
of Commonwealth Energy System and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, and its income and changes in participants' equity for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Supplemental Schedules I and IV are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but are supplemental information required by
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the statement of financial
position and the statement of changes in participants' equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the financial position
and changes in participants' equity of each fund. The supplemental schedules
and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) General
The Employees Savings Plan of Commonwealth Energy System and Subsidiary
Companies (the Plan) was originally created in 1962 by Commonwealth Energy
System (the System) and its subsidiaries to encourage and assist employees to
adopt a regular savings program and to help employees provide additional
security for their retirement. The Plan has been amended or restated from
time to time thereafter.
Effective January 1, 1989, the System selected Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
Company of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to act as Trustee for the Plan (Plan
Trustee). The Trustee retains the Plan assets and provides records of Plan
activity to a Plan Agent designated by a three-member Savings Plan Board (the
Board) that is appointed by the Trustees of the System and by the directors of
its subsidiary companies. The Board is responsible (except for the duties
specifically vested in the Plan Trustee) for the administration of the Plan.
The term "Participant" shall be deemed to include Members, Inactive
Members or Former Members, all as defined in the Plan.
The Employers participating in the Plan consist of certain subsidiary
companies of Commonwealth Energy System, as follows: Cambridge Electric Light
Company, Canal Electric Company, Commonwealth Gas Company, COM/Energy Services
Company and Commonwealth Electric Company (Employers). The Employers are 100%
owned by the System.
Each eligible employee, upon joining the Plan, shall specify in 1%
increments (the allocation increments prior to July 1, 1994 were in multiples
of 10%) his or her contributions and the applicable Employer contributions to
be invested in each of seven separate Investment Funds (Fund(s)), which are
collectively referred to as the trust fund (Trust Fund) and which are further
described in Note 4. However, not more than 50% of a Participant's contribu-
tions and the applicable Employer contributions may be allocated to the
System's Common Share Fund.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Trustee's records are maintained on a cash basis. The accompanying
financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present the
statements on an accrual basis of accounting. Quoted market prices are used
to value the System's Common Share Fund and the various Vanguard funds. In
addition, certain prior period amounts are reclassified from time to time to
conform with the presentation used in the current year's financial statements.
The Plan is subject to all applicable provisions of the Employee Retire-
ment Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Retirement Equity Act of 1984,
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
relating to plans of this type.
<PAGE 21>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Federal Income Taxes
The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) and is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a favorable determination letter
that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable IRC requirements as
of the date of its letter. Management believes that the Plan is currently
designed and operated in accordance with applicable IRC requirements. As a
result, the Plan has not provided for Federal income taxes. Generally,
Participants are not subject to taxes on contributions or the earned income
until such time as a distribution is made. The taxability of a distribution
to a Participant will depend on the form of payment.
Expenses
Brokerage fees, commissions, stock transfer taxes and other expenses in
connection with the purchase, sale or distribution of securities for each
investment fund may be charged to such fund. Any expense of litigation may be
paid by the Trustee and charged to the Trust Fund or to the investment fund or
funds to which the litigation relates. All other expenses and charges
incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Employers.
Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments Sold or Distributed
Pursuant to rules issued by the Department of Labor (DOL), realized gain
(loss) was computed by comparing the market value of the securities
distributed or sold with the market value of said securities at the beginning
of the Plan year. The System's Common Share Fund realized gains (losses) of
($545,138), $1,199,274 and $128,246 on the distribution of 97,867, 296,171 and
145,177 System Common Shares in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments
The Plan provides that the market value of each investment fund shall be
determined by the Trustee each quarter. Pursuant to the rules issued by the
DOL, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) shall equal the difference between
market value at the beginning of the Plan year and the quoted market price of
the investments at the applicable valuation date in determining the value of
each fund. The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 is set forth below:

Income Recognition
Income of the System Common Share Fund consists primarily of dividends on
its Common Shares. The allocation of each fund's earnings to a Participant's
account is based on the percent of the Participant's units in the funds and is
allocated monthly.
(3) Participating Companies and Contributions
Employees are eligible to join the Plan after one year of service.
Generally, Participants in the Plan are required to make contributions of at
least 1% but not more than 16% of their compensation as defined in the Plan.
However, the maximum amount a Participant may defer annually is $9,240
currently (as increased from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury in
accordance with the cost of living adjustment factor prescribed in Section
402(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code). Compensation is defined to be an
employee's regular salary (including any "lump sum payment" under the
authorized basic compensation pay program), except that in the case of sales
personnel compensated in whole or in part by commissions, compensation shall
be considered to equal 90% of the average compensation earned by such employee
in the preceding four calendar quarters but not less than his authorized basic
compensation. Salary deferral contributions by employees are made to the Plan
by payroll deduction. Any eligible employee may change the percentage of his
or her contribution as of January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 in each
calendar year (but not retroactively) by giving his or her Employer at least
thirty (30) days advance notice in writing. The Employer contributes an
additional amount equal to such employee's contribution, up to a maximum of 4%
of such employee's basic compensation, as previously defined. Effective
January 1, 1993, the maximum participating Employer contribution was increased
to 5% for those non-bargaining employees who were less than 40 years of age or
did not have 12 years of service at that date and who, therefore, are no
longer eligible for postretirement health care benefits. In April 1993,
certain bargaining employees also became eligible for the 5% Employer matching
contribution. The additional match has been made available to defray the cost
of postretirement health care benefit costs to those employees.
Effective January 1, 1993 and contingent upon a favorable tax ruling from
the IRS, those Participants no longer eligible for postretirement health
benefits could elect, on an annual basis, to contribute a portion of their
Employer matching contribution to a Retirement Health Benefit Account (RHBA)
that would be used to pay eligible health insurance premiums. In June 1994,
the System submitted a ruling request to the IRS seeking a determination of
the tax consequences to RHBA participants. In January 1995, the System
received an unfavorable ruling from the IRS. As a result, the Plan has
terminated the option to participate in a RHBA.

(4) Investments
The following is a detailed description of the seven Investment Funds in
which a Participant may allocate his or her contributions and the matching
Employer contributions:
Common Shares of Commonwealth Energy System - Consists of Common Shares of
Beneficial Interest of Commonwealth Energy System purchased on the open market
or through the System's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan.
The System's Common Shares may also be acquired directly from the System, if
such Common Shares are made available by the Board of Trustees of the System,
based on the fair market value at the time of acquisition. The Common Shares
are acquired with employee contributions and participating system company
contributions, dividends and interest income. The Trustee, at its discretion,
will determine the manner in which such shares may be acquired.
Vanguard Money Market Reserves-Prime Portfolio - A mutual fund which seeks
the maximum current income that is consistent with preservation of capital and
liquidity. Value is added primarily by emphasizing specific issues and
sectors of the money market that appear to be attractively priced based upon
historical yield spread relationships. Average maturity for the Fund is
normally maintained in the range of 30-60 days, and the Fund can own no
security with a maturity longer than one year. Such money market instruments
include domestic certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, commercial
paper, U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities and repurchase
agreements on such securities and up to 50% of net assets can be invested in
Eurodollar certificates of deposit issued by approved U.S. banks.
Vanguard Windsor II - A mutual fund having a primary objective to provide
long-term growth of capital and income. As a secondary objective, the Fund
seeks a reasonable level of current income. The Fund is a value-oriented
growth and income fund seeking investment opportunities primarily in common
stocks that are out of favor or undervalued.
Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund-Short-Term Corporate Portfolio - A
mutual fund which seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent
with a two to three-year average maturity. By investing in relatively short
maturity investment-grade bonds, the Portfolio is oriented to help preserve
capital.
Vanguard Wellington Fund - A mutual fund designed to pursue conservation
of capital, reasonable current income and profits without undue risk.
Conservatively structured, the Fund uses a balanced investment approach
allocating 60%-70% of net assets to equities and the remainder to fixed income
securities. The fixed income securities reduce the Fund's exposure to risks
of common stocks while common stocks are selected from dividend-paying medium
and large-capitalization stocks whose prospects are improving. The objective
is to identify these companies before their values are recognized in the
marketplace.
Vanguard International Growth Portfolio - A mutual fund which seeks long-
term capital growth by investing in capital stocks of companies based outside
the United States that have above-average growth potential.
<PAGE 27>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
Vanguard Index Trust-Extended Market Portfolio - A mutual fund which
attempts to duplicate the investment results of the broad universe of publicly
traded United States stocks not included in the S&P 500 Index. The Extended
Market Portfolio is a market-capitalization-weighted "benchmark portfolio"
consisting of more than 4,500 regularly traded stocks that are represented by
the Wilshire 4500 Index. The Portfolio will invest in a sample of stocks in
the benchmark portfolio selected on the basis of market capitalization,
industry weightings and fundamental investment characteristics. Investors are
charged a .5% transaction fee (reduced from 1% on January 1, 1995) on shares
purchased that is paid directly to the Portfolio.
The following table is the total return (to include the reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gains distributions) on the Plan's Investment Funds
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. All returns are net of
expenses:

* Available to Participants since October 1, 1993
The Plan permits Members to transfer amounts between Funds on a daily
basis effective July 1, 1994, subject to certain limitations.
The Plan Trustee may, at its discretion, temporarily invest funds
designated for a particular Fund in short-term interest-bearing securities or
may retain certain amounts of cash in each Fund without interest being
credited thereon, for the purpose of more effectively timing the purchase of
investments or liquidity needs for the several Funds. Since all monies are
transmitted weekly to the Plan Trustee, it is anticipated that the amounts of
cash so retained will not be significant or held for any substantial length of
time.
A Participant's choice of contribution allocation to eligible Funds will
continue until changed by such Participant. Effective July 1, 1994,
investment designations may be changed once a day (formerly, once a month) by
telephone through a Vanguard Participant Services representative.
All interest, dividends, and other income, as well as any cash from the
sale or exchange of securities or other property produced by each of the Funds
will be reinvested in the same Fund which produced such interest, dividends
and other income.
<PAGE 28>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The Savings Plan Board will maintain for each Member, Inactive Member or
Former Member of the Plan, under each Fund in which all or part of his or her
contributions and the applicable Employer contributions are invested, a
separate Member Account, Pay Deferral Account and Company Account (Accounts)
which shall reflect the portion of his or her interest in the Investment Fund
which is attributable to the contributions to such Accounts.
(5) Party in Interest
Commonwealth Energy System is a "party in interest" as that term is
defined in Section 3.14 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.
Certain transactions involving the acquisition and distribution of
securities are made at the direction of participants in the Plan who elect to
participate in the System Common Share Fund as one of their investment
options. These transactions are reflected in the accompanying financial
statements at market value and are net of brokerage commissions relating to
the acquisition of these securities.
During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Plan Trustee
purchased Common Shares of Commonwealth Energy System, made distributions of
Common Shares to participants and sold Common Shares to accommodate cash
distributions as follows:
Commonwealth Energy System Common Shares
Shares Shares Sold and Distributed
Purchased Cost Shares Aggregate Value
1994 170 204 $6 902 558 97 867 $2 540 623
1993 63 915 3 031 010 296 171 7 302 526
1992 86 700 3 314 560 145 177 3 503 717
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company also represents a party in interest to
the Plan due to the Plan's investments in various Vanguard Funds.
(6) Loans to Plan Participants
Participants may request a loan from the Plan. The amount of the loan
shall not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or fifty percent (50%) of the balance
of the participant's total value in the various funds of the Plan. Effective
January 1, 1993, the minimum loan amount was reduced to $1,000 (formerly
$2,500). The interest rate on a loan is based on the prime rate at Bank of
Boston on the first day of the quarter preceding the loan request plus one
percent. Participants may choose a repayment period of one to five years. A
participant may not have more than one outstanding loan at any time.
