Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northeast Utilities (NU), has continued to evaluate its future rate case plans and has determined that it will not file a distribution rate case by mid-2009, as it had previously disclosed was a possibility. CL&P will continue to consider the possibility of filing a distribution rate case later in 2009 or in 2010.

Reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation-“Regulatory Developments and Rate Matters” in NU’s and CL&P’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2008.
