Item 2.02         Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

                  On July 20, 2005, Registrant issued its second quarter 2005
                  earnings, as described in the Press Release of Registrant
                  filed herewith as Exhibit 99, to which reference is made.

                  This information is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section
                  18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not
                  subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed
                  incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
                  Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure.

                  See Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

                  Statements included in this current Report and the documents
                  incorporated by reference which are not historical in nature
                  are intended to be and are hereby identified as
                  "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor
                  provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
                  1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements
                  may be identified by words including "anticipates,"
                  "believes," "projects," "intends," "estimates," "expects,"
                  "plans," "assumes," "seeks," and similar expressions.
                  Forward-looking statements including, without limitation,
                  those relating to Registrants' future business prospects,
                  revenues, proceeds, working capital, liquidity, income, and
                  margins, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
                  could cause actual results to differ materially from those
                  indicated in the forward-looking statements, due to several
                  important factors including those identified from time to time
                  in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include, but
                  are not limited to: weather; energy supply and demand; fuel
                  prices; interest rates; potential future acquisitions;
                  developments in the legislative, regulatory and competitive
                  environment; market risks; electric and natural gas industry
                  restructuring and cost recovery; the ability to obtain
                  adequate and timely rate relief; changes in fuel supply or
                  costs including future market prices for energy capacity and
                  ancillary services; the success of strategies to satisfy
                  electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and propane requirements;
                  the outcome of pending litigation and certain environmental
                  matters, particularly the status of inactive hazardous waste
                  disposal sites and waste site remediation requirements; and
                  certain presently unknown or unforeseen factors, including,
                  but not limited to, acts of terrorism. Registrants undertake
                  no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
                  statements, whether as a result of new information, future
                  events, or otherwise. Given these uncertainties, undue
                  reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
                  statements.
