This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-3 Registration Statement is being filed solely to remove from registration securities that were registered and will not be issued in connection with the Registrant’s offering.
On April 30, 1990, Northeast Utilities (the “Registrant”) filed its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-34622) (the “Registration Statement”) and Amendment No. 1 thereto with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an aggregate of 13 million of the Registrant’s common shares which were to be issued in connection with the Registrant’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”).
On February 2, 2001, the Registrant suspended share purchases under the Plan and no more shares of Registrant common shares will be issued under the Plan.
The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement to withdraw the Registration Statement, including all exhibits to the Registration Statement, with respect to all unsold Registrant common shares registered under the Registration Statement.
