      As of December 31, 2003, Central Hudson's electric transmission and
distribution systems were comprised of 86 substations with a rated transformer
capacity of approximately 4.5 million kVA, approximately 618 pole miles of
overhead transmission lines, approximately 4.2 trench miles of underground
transmission lines, approximately 7,694 circuit miles of overhead distribution
lines and approximately 1,338 cable miles of underground distribution cables.
Only a part of such transmission and distribution lines is located on property
owned by Central Hudson. Central Hudson delivers electricity to approximately
286,000 customers. The electric system of Central Hudson is directly
interconnected with other electric utility systems in New York, Connecticut, and
New Jersey, and indirectly interconnected with most of the electric utility
systems in the United States. Transmission Circuit Miles include: 345, 115 and
69 kV. Distribution Circuit Miles include: 34.5, 14.4, 13.2, 4.8 and 4.16 kV.
The transformer kVA


                                      (3)


value is the summation of transformers' top nameplate ratings; the summation of
Summer Normal ratings would be higher. Generator step-up transformers are
included; spare transformers and generation station auxiliary transformers are
excluded.

      Natural gas is delivered by transmission pipeline to Central Hudson at
four locations: the Cedar Hill (NY) Gate Station interconnection with Tennessee
Gas Pipeline Company ("Tennessee"), the Pleasant Valley (NY) Gate Station
interconnection with Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P., the Mahopac (NY)
Gate Station interconnection with Duke Energy Gas Transmission Company and the
Tuxedo (NY) Gate Station interconnection with Columbia Gas Transmission Company
("Columbia"). Central Hudson is also interconnected with New York State Electric
& Gas Corporation ("NYSEG") at two locations: natural gas is normally received
from NYSEG at Hamptonburg (NY) and delivered to NYSEG at Walden (NY). Natural
gas is distributed to approximately 68,000 industrial, commercial and
residential customers through a network of 161 miles of transmission pipeline
and 1,051 miles of distribution mains. Central Hudson owns and operates
propane-air injection peaking facilities at Poughkeepsie and Newburgh, NY which
are each nominally rated at 8,000 dekatherms per day of injection capability
into the distribution system. In addition, Central Hudson has entered into
long-term contracts with National Fuel Gas Corporation, Columbia, Tennessee,
Texas Eastern and Dominion Transmission Corporations for a maximum total of 3.3
BCF of storage, located in various fields in the eastern United States.
