Exhibit 15.1



                    Report of Independent Accountants


To the Shareholders and Trustees of NSTAR:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet of NSTAR and its subsidiaries as of March 31,
2001, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
income, comprehensive income, retained earnings and cash
flows for each of the three-month periods ended March 31,
2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information
consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying
condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
January 26, 2001 we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
