ITEM 5.  Other Events

On March 30, 2001, CL&P Funding LLC ("CL&P Funding"), a subsidiary of The
Connecticut Light and Power Company ("CL&P"), closed the sale of $1,438,400,000
of notes to Connecticut RRB Special Purpose Trust CL&P-1, a special purpose
trust.  The trust in turn sold, through underwriters, $1,438,400,000 of rate
reduction bonds to the public.  The notes were issued in five classes with
varying interest rates and maturities.  CL&P Funding applied the proceeds
of the sale of the notes to the purchase of certain transition property

rate class, each with maturities and other terms identical to the
corresponding class of notes.  The relevant documentation is set forth
in item 7 hereto.
