STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL
 FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO
                      EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

                        [Conformed Copy]


                     
I, Thomas J. May, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive officer of NSTAR state and attest that:

   (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the
   covered reports of NSTAR, and, except as corrected or
   supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

       -  no covered report contained an untrue statement of a
          material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
          report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
          definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
          filed); and

       -  no covered report omitted to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements in the covered report, in
          light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading as of the end of the period covered by such
          report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
          definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
          filed).

   (2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the
   NSTAR Audit, Finance and Risk Management Committee.

   (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if
   filed on or before the date of this statement, is a "covered
   report":

       -  the Annual Report on Form 10-K for NSTAR for the fiscal
          year ended December 31, 2001;

       -  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
          definitive proxy materials of NSTAR filed with the
          Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
          identified above; and

       -  any amendments to any of the foregoing.

   Thomas J. May                    me this 14th day of August 2002.
