Utility
General Rate Filing
In late 1993 Portland General Electric Company (PGE or the
Company)
filed a general rate case with the Oregon Public Utility
Commission
(PUC) requesting an increase in electric rates by an average of
5% to
take effect January 1, 1995. PGE's request included a return on
equity
of 11.5% and 11.8% for the years 1995 and 1996 respectively, down
from the current authorized return of 12.5%, and
full
recovery of the Trojan Nuclear Plant (Trojan) investment and
decommissioning costs (see Portland General's and PGE's reports
on Form
10-K for the period ended December 31, 1993 for additional
background
information regarding the rate request). Subsequently, Trojan
Nuclear
Plant (Trojan) and cost of capital issues were bifurcated from
non-
Trojan issues. In July 1994, PGE agreed to the PUC Staff's
request to
delay a final order addressing all rate case matters to no later
than
March 31, 1995 in return for approval of a first quarter 1995
power cost
deferral.
In September 1994, the PUC Staff issued its recommendation for
Trojan
and cost of capital issues. The PUC Staff recommended that PGE
be
allowed to earn a 10.4% return on equity. The PUC Staff also
recommended that PGE be allowed to collect 80% of its remaining
investment in Trojan and that PGE recover all of its anticipated
decommissioning costs. The PUC Staff presented other
alternatives with
respect to PGE's recovery of its remaining investment in Trojan,
ranging
from zero to full recovery, but recommended 80% recovery.
If the PUC Staff's recommendation on Trojan were the ultimate
outcome of
the regulatory process, PGE estimates that it could record a loss
of up to approximately
$50 million. Hearings are scheduled to begin in
early
December 1994
and an order on all rate case matters is expected to be issued no
later
than March 31, 1995.
On November 11, 1994, PGE and the PUC staff agreed to enter
into a stipulation addressing PGE's and the PUC Staff's joint
recommendation to the PUC on all outstanding cost of capital
issues in PGE's general rate filing. The stipulation will
recommend an 11.6% return on equity for PGE for the years 1995
and 1996.
Recovery of power cost deferrals is addressed in separate rate
proceedings, not in the general rate case (see the discussion of
Power
Cost Recovery below).
Trojan Related Issues
Shutdown - In early 1993, PGE ceased commercial operation of
Trojan as
recommended in PGE's Least Cost Plan (LCP).

Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Decommissioning - The Company's current estimated cost to
decommission
Trojan has increased $7 million to $417 million (comprised of
$351
million of dismantlement costs and $66 million of transition
costs)
reflected in nominal dollars (actual dollars expected to be spent
in
each year). The increase in the estimated cost of
decommissioning
reflects a refinement in the timing and scope of certain
dismantlement
activities and lower anticipated transition costs. Stated in
1993
dollars the current estimate
is virtually unchanged from the previous estimate of $289
million. The
decommissioning cost estimate includes the cost of planning,
removal and
burial of irradiated equipment and facilities as required by the
Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC); building demolition and
non-radiological
site remediation; and spent nuclear fuel management costs
including
licensing, surveillance and transition costs. Transition costs,
which
are now estimated at $66 million for the period 1994 through 1998
inclusive, are the costs associated with operating and
maintaining the
spent fuel pool and securing the plant until dismantlement can
begin.
While most decommissioning costs will utilize funds from PGE's
Nuclear
Decommissioning Trust (NDT), transition costs will continue to be
paid
from current operating funds.
The decommissioning plan is based on a site-specific
decommissioning
cost estimate performed for Trojan by an experienced
decommissioning
engineering firm. The updated estimate assumes that the majority
of
decommissioning activities will occur between 1997 and 2000,
beginning
with the removal of certain large plant components, while
construction of
a temporary dry spent fuel storage facility is taking place.
Decommissioning of the temporary dry spent fuel storage facility
and
final non-radiological site remediation activities will occur in
2018
after PGE completes shipment of spent fuel to a United States
Department
of Energy (USDOE) facility. As of September 30, 1994 the Company
has
expensed approximately $9 million in transition costs for 1994.
Annual
transition costs are estimated to be $10 million to $15 million
per year
through 1998. In addition, since plant closure the Company has
spent $3
million on decommissioning planning and related activities
reducing the
remaining decommissioning liability, including transition costs,
to $405
million.
PGE plans to submit a formal decommissioning plan to the NRC and
Energy
Facility Siting Council of Oregon (EFSC) in late 1994. The NRC
and EFSC
rules require the plan be submitted before January 23, 1995.
The updated decommissioning estimate reflects PGE's current plan
to
accelerate the removal of some of Trojan's large components,
which is
expected to result in overall decommissioning cost savings.
Since the
Company plans to begin this work in 1994, prior to receiving NRC
and
EFSC approval of its formal decommissioning plan, specific
approval will
be obtained from EFSC. Request for this approval was filed with
EFSC on
July 7, 1994. Legal challenges have been filed in opposition to
the planned early removal of some of Trojan's large components.
Additionally, PGE
has requested NRC approval for the use of PGE's NDT funds for
removal of
large components. Assumptions used to develop the site-specific
cost
estimate for decommissioning represent the best information PGE
has
currently. The Company is continuing to evaluate various options
which
could change the timing and scope of decommissioning activities
and
expects any future changes in estimated decommissioning costs to
be
incorporated in future revenues to be collected from customers.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Investment Recovery - In its general rate filing PGE requested
continued
recovery of Trojan plant costs, including decommissioning. See
the
General Rate Filing discussion above for further details
regarding the
rate case proceedings.
LCP analysis assumed that continued recovery of the Trojan plant
investment, including future decommissioning costs, would be
granted by
the
PUC. Regarding the authority of the PUC to grant recovery, the
Oregon
Department of Justice (Attorney General) issued an opinion that
the PUC
may allow rate recovery of total plant costs, including operating
expenses, taxes, decommissioning costs, return of capital
invested in
the plant and return on the undepreciated investment. While the
Attorney General's opinion does not guarantee recovery of costs
associated with the shutdown, it does clarify that under current
law the
PUC has authority to allow recovery of such costs in rates.
PGE asked the PUC to resolve certain legal and policy questions
regarding the statutory framework for future ratemaking
proceedings
related to the recovery of the Trojan investment and
decommissioning
costs. On August 9, 1993 the PUC issued a declaratory ruling
agreeing
with the Attorney General's opinion discussed above. The ruling
also
stated that the PUC will favorably consider allowing PGE to
recover in
rates some or all of its return on and return of its
undepreciated
investment in Trojan, including decommissioning costs, if PGE
meets
certain conditions. PGE believes that its general rate filing
provides
evidence that satisfies the conditions established by the PUC.
In early
1994, appeals of the PUC's declaratory ruling related to the
recovery of
the Trojan investment and decommissioning costs were filed in
Marion
County Circuit Court (see Legal Proceedings for
further discussion of legal challenges to the declaratory
ruling).
Management believes that the PUC will grant future revenues to
cover
all, or substantially all, of Trojan plant costs with an
appropriate
return. However, future recovery of the Trojan plant investment
and
future decommissioning costs requires PUC approval in a public
regulatory process. Although the PUC has allowed PGE to
continue, on an
interim basis, collection of these costs in the same manner as
prescribed in the Company's last general rate proceeding, the PUC
has
not previously addressed recovery of costs related to a
prematurely
retired plant when the decision to close the plant was based upon
a
least cost planning process. Due to uncertainties inherent in a
public
process, management cannot predict, with certainty, whether all,
or
substantially all, of the $348 million Trojan plant investment
and $347
million of decommissioning charges (to be collected through
future
rates) will be recovered. Management believes the ultimate
outcome of
this public regulatory process will not have a material adverse
effect
on the financial condition, liquidity or capital resources of
Portland
General. However, it may have a material impact on the results
of
operations for a future reporting period.
SCE Complaint - In early August 1994, Southern California Edison
(SCE)
filed a complaint claiming PGE's decision to close Trojan
violated the
terms of a long-term firm power sales and exchange agreement
entered
into in 1986. The 25-year contract is for 75 megawatts of firm
energy
and capacity, plus a 225 megawatt seasonal exchange.
SCE contends that PGE appointed itself liquidator of a
substantial
portion of its assets under the general bankruptcy default
provision of
the
5
5
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
contract. SCE is seeking termination of the agreement and
damages,
including a return of payments made to PGE from the date of PGE's
alleged default (approximately $30 million).
Under the agreement SCE is obligated to pay to PGE a reservation
fee for
system capacity, seasonal exchange and other services equal to
$16.9
million annually. SCE continues to make these payments.
The Company will vigorously defend itself and believes it will
succeed
in the defense of these claims (see Legal Proceedings for
additional
information).
Power Cost Recovery
In early 1993, the PUC authorized PGE to defer 80% of the
incremental
power costs incurred from December 4, 1992 through March 31, 1993
to
replace Trojan generation. In total, $44 million of accrued
revenues
were recorded for later collection. In early 1994, the PUC
granted
approval for full recovery and PGE began collection in April
1994.
Amounts will be collected over a three year period.
In accordance with Oregon law, collection of the following
deferrals is
subject to PUC review of PGE's reported earnings, adjusted for
the
regulatory treatment of unusual and/or non-recurring items, as
well as
the determination of an appropriate rate of return on equity for
a given
review period.
In August 1993, the PUC authorized PGE to defer, for later
collection,
50% of the incremental replacement power costs incurred from July
1,
1993 through March 31, 1994. The PUC granted the lower deferral
rate to
reflect expected nuclear operating cost savings. In total, $49
million
of revenues were recorded. The earnings review for this deferral
will cover a April 1,
1993 through March 31, 1994 review period. The PUC has approved
PGE's
request to delay this earnings review to June 30, 1995 to
coincide with
the timing of the review of the first quarter 1995 power cost
deferral
(see discussion below). This will result in a concurrent review
of
PGE's earnings for these separate deferral periods.
In September 1994, the PUC approved PGE's request to defer, for
later
collection, 40% of incremental power costs incurred from January
1, 1995
through March 31, 1995, or until a PUC order in the general rate
case,
if earlier. The amount of revenues PGE would be allowed to
collect is
the lesser of the recorded deferral, PGE's requested increase or
the
same level of revenue as if new rates had become effective
January 1,
1995. In addition, an earnings review will be filed by June 30,
1995
using an April 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995 review period for
amounts
deferred under this order.
In September 1994, PGE filed an application to defer, for later
collection, 40% of incremental power costs from October 1, 1994
until
December 31, 1994. PGE expects action on this application by
the end of March 1995.

Restoration of Salmon Runs - The Snake River chinook salmon has
been
listed as a threatened species and the Snake River sockeye salmon
has
been listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species
Act. The
National Marine Fisheries Service proposed minor changes to
current
river operations in a draft recovery plan. In April 1994, a U.S.
District Court judge rejected the draft recovery plan. In May
1994, the
federal government ordered a temporary spilling of water over the
Columbia and Snake River dams in an attempt to increase the
number of
salmon that survive their downriver trip to the Pacific Ocean.
This
emergency spill was halted in July 1994.
PGE purchases power from many sources including the mid-Columbia
dams.
Reductions in the amount of water allowed to flow through the
dams'
turbines reduce the amount and increase the cost of power
available to
purchase on a non-contract or secondary basis. The attempt to
improve
fish passage by releasing more water from the reservoirs in the
spring
and summer could mean less water available in the fall and winter
when
the demand for electricity in the Pacific Northwest is the
highest.
This could lead to higher costs for hydro power and the need to
run more
expensive gas- and coal-fired plants.
Fuel Supply
PGE has entered into agreements with two U.S. and one Canadian
gas
supplier for firm purchases of approximately 54,000 MMBtu/day of
natural
gas for the
7
7
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
months October 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995. The Canadian
agreement is for a fixed price and PGE has
entered into hedging transactions on the remaining two agreements
to reduce exposure
to increases in gas prices.
The result of these transactions is to lock in a fixed price for
approximately 60% of the expected fuel needed to operate the
Beaver gas-
fired plant during the winter period.
Customer Growth and Revenues
During the third quarter of 1994
approximately 2,600 retail customers were
added to PGE's service territory. For the
twelve-months ended September 30, 1994,
10,000 retail customers were added. PGE's
weather-adjusted retail energy sales
through the third quarter of 1994 were 3.1%
higher than energy sales for the same
period in 1993. Greatest growth was
experienced in the commercial and
manufacturing sectors which realized a
combined load growth of 3.8% for the year.
Residential load grew 2.0%. The Company
expects 1994 load growth to be
approximately 2.6%.
Seasonality
PGE's retail sales peak in the winter, therefore, quarterly
earnings
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
fiscal year
1994.
Nonutility
Portland General Corporation (Portland General), Portland General
Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) and certain Portland General affiliated
individuals have been named in a class action suit by investors
in
Bonneville Pacific Corporation (Bonneville Pacific) and in a suit
filed
by the bankruptcy trustee for Bonneville Pacific. The class
action suit
alleges various violations of securities law, fraud and
misrepresentation. The suit by the bankruptcy trustee for
Bonneville
Pacific alleges common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty,
tortious
interference, negligence, negligent misrepresentation and other
actionable wrongs.
Regarding the class action suit, in May 1994 the U.S. District
Court for
the District of Utah (the Court) issued an order dismissing the
claims
filed by the plaintiffs against Portland General, Holdings and
the
Portland General affiliated individuals for common law fraud and
negligent misrepresentation, primary liability for violations of
the
federal securities laws and secondary liability for aiding and
abetting
and conspiracy to violate the federal securities laws. The order
permanently
dismisses the secondary liability claims. The Court stated that
it will
consider an amendment to the complaint with regard to the other
claims.
8

Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The Court also held that it would not consider the claims for
Utah state
securities law violations until certain issues are addressed by
the Utah
state courts.
Holdings has filed a complaint seeking approximately $228 million
in
damages against Deloitte & Touche and certain parties associated
with
Bonneville Pacific alleging that it relied on fraudulent and
negligent
statements and omissions when it acquired a 46% interest in and
made
loans to Bonneville Pacific.
A detailed report released in June 1992, by a U.S. Bankruptcy
examiner
outlined a number of questionable transactions that resulted in
gross
exaggeration of Bonneville Pacific's assets prior to Holdings'
investment. This report includes the examiner's opinion that
there was
significant mismanagement and very likely fraud at Bonneville
Pacific.
These findings support management's belief that a favorable
outcome on
these matters can be achieved.
For background information and further details, see Note 3, Legal
Matters, in Notes to Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
Portland General Electric company, an electric utility company
and
Portland General's principal operating subsidiary, accounts for
substantially all of Portland General's assets, revenues and net
income.
The following discussion focuses on utility operations, unless
noted.
1994 Compared to 1993 for the Three Months Ended September 30
Portland General earned $12 million or $0.24 per share for the
third
quarter of 1994, compared with $6 million or $0.13 per share in
1993.
Nuclear cost savings, continued customer growth and increased
wholesale
sales made positive contributions to 1994 operating results.
However,
increased earnings were chiefly the result of lower income tax
expense.
Before tax operating income declined $6 million primarily due to
narrower margins on retail and wholesale sales and slight
increases in
non-nuclear operating costs.
Retail sales were strong for the quarter, with megawatt-hour
sales
increasing 5% over last year due to the addition of more than
2,600 new
customers to PGE's system and hot summer weather. Wholesale
megawatt-
hour sales increased 72% due to demand from northwest utilities
and
PGE's ability to acquire Desert Southwest and northern California
power
through its ownership share in the Pacific Northwest Intertie.
However,
wholesale and retail margins narrowed as a result of a more
competitive
wholesale market and poor hydro conditions which contributed to
an
increase in average power costs.
Variable power costs rose due to greater wholesale and retail
demand and
the replacement of an 18% decrease in PGE hydro generation.
PGE's total
system load increased by 10% for the
period. Solid performance by PGE's thermal
plants, such as the Beaver gas-fired
facility, which more than
9
9
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
doubled its prior
year's output, allowed the Company to
generate 52% of its system load, offsetting
the need to acquire more costly purchased
power.
Operating revenues for 1993 include $12
million in accrued revenues related to
PGE's power cost deferral in effect during
the period.
Operating expenses (excluding variable power costs and
depreciation)
declined $3 million or 4%. The Company realized $6 million in
nuclear
operating cost savings due to fewer personnel at Trojan. During
the
third quarter of 1994, $3 million of nuclear operating costs were
expensed. Slight increases in certain non-nuclear operating
costs
partially offset the realized nuclear cost savings.
Income tax expense decreased $11 million. 1993 income tax
expense
includes approximately $7 million related to the retroactive
increase in
the federal tax rate and adjustments to consolidated tax items.
The
remaining decrease in 1994 income tax expense was caused by lower
taxable income.
1994 Compared to 1993 for the Nine Months Ended September 30
Portland General earned $75 million or $1.51 per share for the
nine
months ended September 30, 1994, compared with $56 million or
$1.19 per
share for the 1993 period. Nuclear cost savings, increased
wholesale
sales, lower income tax expense and income from discontinued
operations
resulted in increased 1994 earnings. Excluding discontinued
operations,
1994 earnings would have been $69 million.
Current year retail sales were boosted by hot summer weather and
consistent retail customer growth, which helped offset the
effects of
warmer than normal winter weather. During 1994 PGE sold 78% more
wholesale energy than in 1993. PGE's access to the Northwest
Intertie,
coupled with active marketing efforts, enabled the Company to
respond to
increased demand for wholesale energy from California and
northwest
utilities. Retail and wholesale margins narrowed due to more
competitive prices in wholesale markets, increased wheeling costs
driven
by an October 1993 rate increase by BPA, and higher average power
costs
caused by poor hydro conditions in the Northwest.
Poor regional water conditions contributed to an increase in
average
variable power costs, which rose to 19.1 mills per kilowatt-hour
(10
mills = 1 cent) in 1994 from 18.7 mills per kilowatt-hour in
1993. PGE
hydro generation fell 22.5%. Additionally, PGE system load
increased
6.5% causing PGE to rely more heavily upon PGE thermal plant
generation.
Good performance of PGE's thermal plants and favorable gas prices
allowed PGE
to meet increased demand and avoid the higher cost of secondary
power
purchases.
10
10
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Operating revenues in 1994 include $18 million in first quarter
accrued
revenues versus $48 million in accrued revenues in 1993 relating
to
power cost deferrals in effect during each of the respective
periods (see Power
Cost Recovery in the Financial and Operating Outlook section
above).
The decrease in accrued revenues was offset
by significant nuclear cost savings. Due
to fewer personnel at Trojan, nuclear
operating costs declined $30 million in
1994, resulting in a 12% decrease in
operating expenses (excluding variable
power costs and depreciation). During the
nine months ended September 30, 1994, $9
million of nuclear operating costs were
expensed compared to $39 million in the
prior year.
Income tax expense decreased $6 million due
to a retroactive increase in the federal
tax rate in 1993, and year-to-date
adjustments for consolidated tax items also recorded in 1993.
The Company recorded a $2 million gain, after tax, on the sale of
nonutility property which is included in other income in 1994.
The divestiture of real estate holdings resulted in $6 million,
after
tax, of previously recorded real estate reserves which were
restored to
income in the second quarter of 1994.
1994 Compared to 1993 for the Twelve Months Ended September 30
Portland General earned $108 million or $2.19 per share for the
twelve
months ended September 30, 1994, compared with $95 million or
$2.02 per
share for the 1993 period. Excluding discontinued operations,
earnings
for 1994 would have been approximately $102 million. Excluding
the effects of Trojan
steam generator repair costs of $11 million, after tax, which
were
restored to 1992 calendar earnings (and included in the 1993
twelve
month period), 1993 earnings would have been $84 million.
Operating revenues rose $31 million and variable power costs
increased
$75 million in 1994 resulting in a $44 million decline in
operating
income. This decline is primarily the result of higher average
variable
power costs.
The increase in operating revenues is primarily due to a 25% rise
in
wholesale revenues.
Average variable power costs increased to 19.6 mills from 18.1
mills,
reflecting increased power purchases and thermal generation to
replace
hydro and low-cost nuclear generation. Due to poor
11
11
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
water
conditions, PGE
hydro generation decreased 470,574 megawatt-hours or 20%. During
the
1993
period, Trojan supplied 640,902 megawatt-
hours or 3% of PGE's total system load at
an average cost of 4.7 mills per kilowatt-
hour.
Operating expenses (excluding variable
power costs and depreciation) declined $53
million in the 1994 period. This was
primarily due to $56 million in nuclear
operating cost savings.
Depreciation, decommissioning and
amortization rose 21% as a result of the
capitalization of $18 million ($11 million,
after tax) of steam generator repair costs
in the 1993 period as discussed above.
Income tax expense decreased $15 due to lower taxable income, the
recording of a retroactive increase in the federal tax rate in
1993, and
year-to-date adjustments for consolidated tax items also recorded
in
1993.
The divestiture of real estate holdings resulted in $6 million,
after
tax, of previously recorded real estate reserves being restored
to
income in the second quarter of 1994.
Cash Flow
Portland General Corporation
Portland General requires cash to pay dividends to its common
stockholders, to provide funds to its subsidiaries, to meet debt
service
obligations and for day to day operations. Sources of cash are
dividends from PGE, its principal subsidiary, asset sales and
leasing
rentals, short- and intermediate-term borrowings and the sale of
its
common stock.
Portland General received $15.4 million in dividends from PGE
during the
third quarter of 1994 and $2.4 million in proceeds from the
issuance of
shares of common stock under its Dividend Reinvestment and
Optional Cash
Payment Plan.
Portland General Electric Company
Cash Provided by Operations
Operations are the primary source of cash used for day to day
operating
needs of PGE and funding of construction activities. PGE also
obtains
cash from external borrowings, as needed.
A significant portion of cash from operations comes from
depreciation
and amortization of utility plant, charges which are recovered in
customer revenues but require no current cash outlay. Changes in
accounts receivable and accounts payable can also be significant
contributors or
users of cash. The $3 million increase in cash flow from
operations,
when comparing third quarter 1994 to third quarter 1993, is
primarily
due to collection of accrued revenues recorded in prior periods,
partially offset by a $20 million prepayment made to the IRS (see
below).

Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Future cash requirements may be affected by the ultimate outcome
of the
IRS audit of PGE's 1985 WNP-3 abandonment loss deduction. The
IRS has
issued a statutory notice of tax deficiency, which Portland
General is
contesting, related to its examination of Portland General's 1985
tax
return. In September 1994, PGE made a $20 million prepayment to
the IRS
to mitigate interest cost exposure, if any, related to the
alleged tax
deficiency. The prepayment is refundable with interest should
PGE
prevail (see Note 4, Income Taxes, for further information).
PGE has been named a "potentially responsible party" (PRP) of PCB
contaminants at various environmental cleanup sites. The total
cost of
cleanup is estimated at $27 million, of which the Company's share
is
approximately $3 million. PGE has made an assessment of the
other
involved PRP's and is satisfied that they can meet their share of
the
obligation. Should the eventual outcome of these environmental
matters
result in additional cash requirements, PGE expects internally
generated
cash flows or external borrowings to be sufficient to fund such
obligations.
Investing Activities
PGE invests in facilities for generation, transmission and
distribution
of electric energy and for energy efficiency investments.
Estimated
capital expenditures for 1994 are expected to be $250 million.
Approximately $183 million has been expended for capital
projects,
including energy efficiency investments, through September 30,
1994.
PGE continues to fund an external trust for the future costs of
Trojan
decommissioning. Funding began in March 1991. Currently PGE
funds
$11 million each year. As of September 30, 1994, the fund had a
current
market value of $56 million which was invested in
investment-grade tax-
exempt bonds. Upon approval from the NRC these funds will become
available to PGE for use in the removal of some of Trojan's large
components, in addition to other future dismantlement activities.
Financing Activities
Third quarter 1994 financing activities include the issuance of
$30
million of three year notes at 6.75% maturing September 15, 1997
and $45
million of seven year notes at 7.40% maturing September 15, 2001.
Proceeds were used to fund PGE's construction program.
The issuance of additional preferred stock and First Mortgage
Bonds
requires PGE to meet earnings coverage and security provisions
set forth
in the Articles of Incorporation and the Indenture securing its
First
Mortgage Bonds. As of September 30, 1994, PGE could issue $470
million
of preferred stock and $420 million of additional First Mortgage
Bonds.

Note 1
Principles of Interim Statements
The interim financial statements have been prepared by Portland
General Corporation (Portland General) and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all material adjustments which are necessary
to a
fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures made in the last annual
report on
Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for the interim
statements.
Certain costs are estimated for the full year and allocated to
interim
periods based on the estimates of operating time expired, benefit
received or activity associated with the interim period.
Accordingly,
such costs are subject to year-end adjustment. It is Portland
General's opinion that, when the interim statements are read in
conjunction with the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified for
comparative
purposes.
Note 2
Regulatory Matters
Public Utility Commission of Oregon
Portland General Electric Company (PGE) had sought judicial
review of
three rate matters related to a 1987 general rate case. In July
1990
PGE reached an out-of-court settlement with the Oregon Public
Utility
Commission (PUC) on two of the three rate matter issues being
litigated.
The settlement resolved the dispute with the PUC regarding
treatment of
accelerated amortization of certain investment tax credits (ITC)
and
1986-1987 interim relief.
The settlement, however, did not resolve the Boardman/Intertie
gain
issue, which the parties continue to litigate. PGE's position is
that
28% of the gain should be allocated to customers. The 1987 rate
order
allocated 77% of the gain to customers over a 27-year period.
PGE has
fully reserved this amount, which is being amortized over a
27-year
period in accordance with the 1987 rate order. The unamortized
gain,
$119 million at September 30, 1994, is shown as "Regulatory
reserves" on
the balance sheet.

Legal Matters
WNP Cost Sharing
PGE and three other investor-owned utilities (IOUs) are involved
in
litigation surrounding the proper allocation of shared costs
between
Washington Public Power Supply System (Supply System) Units 1 and
3 and
Units 4 and 5. A court ruling, issued in May 1989, stated that
Bond
Resolution No. 890, adopted by the Supply System, controlled
disbursement of proceeds from bonds issued for the construction
of Unit
5, including the method for allocation of shared costs. It is
the IOUs'
contention that at the time the project commenced there was
agreement
among the parties as to the allocation of shared costs and that
this
agreement and the Bond Resolution are consistent, such that the
allocation under the agreement is not prohibited by the Bond
Resolution.
In February 1992, the Court of Appeals ruled that shared costs
between
Units 3 and 5 should be allocated in proportion to benefits under
the
equitable method supported by PGE and the IOUs. A trial remains
necessary to assure that the allocations are properly performed.
Bonneville Pacific Class Action Suit and Lawsuit
A consolidated case of all previously filed class actions has
been filed
in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah (the Court),
purportedly
on behalf of purchasers of common shares and convertible
subordinated
debentures of Bonneville Pacific Corporation (Bonneville Pacific)
in the
period from August 18, 1989 until January 22, 1992, alleging
violations
of federal and Utah state securities laws, common law fraud and
negligent misrepresentation. The defendants are specific
Bonneville
Pacific insiders, Portland General, Portland General Holdings,
Inc.
(Holdings), certain Portland General affiliated individuals,
Deloitte &
Touche and three underwriters of a Bonneville Pacific offering of
subordinated debentures.
In May 1994 the Court issued an order dismissing the claims filed
by the
plaintiffs against Portland General, Holdings and the Portland
General
affiliated individuals for common law fraud and negligent
misrepresentation, primary liability for violations of the
federal
securities laws and secondary liability for aiding and abetting
and
conspiracy to violate the federal securities laws. The order
permanently dismisses the secondary liability claims. The Court
stated
that it will consider an amendment to the complaint with regard
to the
other claims. The Court also held that it would not consider the
claims
for Utah state securities law violations until certain issues are
addressed by the Utah state courts.
A separate legal proceeding has been initiated by the bankruptcy
trustee
for Bonneville Pacific who has filed an amended complaint against
Portland General, Holdings and certain affiliated individuals in
US
District Court for the District of Utah alleging common law
fraud,
breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, negligence,
negligent
misrepresentation and other actionable wrongs. The original suit
was
filed by Bonneville Pacific
19

Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
prior to the appointment of the bankruptcy trustee. The amount
of
damages sought is not specified in the complaint.
Other Legal Matters
Portland General and certain of its subsidiaries are party to
various
other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the
ordinary
course of business. These claims are not considered material.
Summary
While the ultimate disposition of these matters may have an
impact on
the results of operations for a future reporting period,
management
believes, based on discussion of the underlying facts and
circumstances
with legal counsel, that these matters will not have a material
adverse
effect on the financial condition of Portland General.
Other Bonneville Pacific Related Litigation
Holdings filed complaints seeking approximately $228 million in
damages
in the Third Judicial District Court for Salt Lake County (Utah)
against
Deloitte & Touche and certain other parties associated with
Bonneville
Pacific alleging that it relied on fraudulent and negligent
statements
and omissions by Deloitte & Touche and the other defendants when
it
acquired a 46% interest in and made loans to Bonneville Pacific
starting
in September 1990.
Note 4
Income Taxes
The IRS has issued a statutory notice of tax deficiency, which
Portland
General is contesting, related to its examination of PGE's 1985
tax
return. The IRS has proposed to disallow PGE's 1985 WNP-3
abandonment
loss deduction on the premise that it is a taxable exchange.
Portland
General disagrees with this position and will take appropriate
action to
defend its deduction. Management believes that it has
appropriately
provided for probable tax adjustments and is of the opinion that
the
ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material
adverse
impact on the financial condition of Portland General.
Note 5
Trojan Nuclear Plant
Shutdown - In early 1993, PGE ceased commercial operation of
Trojan as
recommended in PGE's Least Cost Plan (LCP).
Decommissioning - PGE's current estimated cost to decommission
Trojan
has been increased $7 million to $417 million (comprised of $351
million
of dismantlement costs and $66 million of transition costs)
reflected in
nominal dollars (actual dollars expected to be spent in each
year). The
increase in the estimated cost of decommissioning reflects a
refinement
in
20
20
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
the timing and scope of certain dismantlement activities and
lower
anticipated transition costs. Stated in 1993 dollars, the
current
estimate
is virtually unchanged from the previous estimate of $289
million. The
decommissioning cost estimate includes the cost of planning,
removal and
burial of irradiated equipment and facilities as required by the
Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC); building demolition and
non-radiological
site remediation; and spent nuclear fuel management costs
including
licensing, surveillance and transition costs. Transition costs,
which
are now estimated at $66 million for the period 1994 through 1998
inclusive, are the costs associated with operating and
maintaining the
spent fuel pool and securing the plant until dismantlement can
begin.
While most decommissioning costs will utilize funds from PGE's
Nuclear
Decommissioning Trust (NDT), transition costs will continue to be
paid
from current operating funds.
The decommissioning plan is based on a site-specific
decommissioning
cost estimate performed for Trojan by an experienced
decommissioning
engineering firm. The updated estimate assumes that the majority
of
decommissioning activities will occur between 1997 and 2000,
beginning
with the removal of certain large plant components while
construction of
a temporary dry spent fuel storage facility is taking place.
Decommissioning of the temporary dry spent fuel storage facility
and
final non-radiological site remediation activities will occur in
2018
after PGE completes shipment of spent fuel to a United States
Department
of Energy (USDOE) facility. As of September 30, 1994 PGE has
expensed
approximately $9 million in transition costs for 1994. Annual
transition costs are estimated to be $10 million to $15 million
per year
through 1998. In addition, since plant closure PGE has spent $3
million
on decommissioning planning and related activities reducing the
remaining decommissioning liability, including transition costs,
to $405
million.
PGE plans to submit a formal decommissioning plan to the NRC and
Energy
Facility Siting Council of Oregon (EFSC) in late 1994. The NRC
and EFSC
rules require the plan be submitted before January 23, 1995.
The updated decommissioning estimate reflects PGE's current plan
to
accelerate the removal of some of Trojan's large components which
is
expected to result in overall decommissioning cost savings.
Since PGE
plans to begin this work in 1994, prior to receiving NRC and EFSC
approval of its formal decommissioning plan, specific approval
will be
obtained from EFSC. Request for this approval was filed with
EFSC on
July 7, 1994 (see Legal Proceedings for discussion of legal
challenges
of PGE's plan to accelerate the removal of some of Trojan's large
components). Additionally, PGE has requested NRC approval for
the use
of PGE's NDT funds for removal of large components. Assumptions
used to
develop the site-specific cost estimate for decommissioning
represent
the best information PGE has currently. PGE is continuing to
evaluate
various options which could change the timing and scope of
decommissioning activities and expects any future changes in
estimated
decommissioning costs to be incorporated in future revenues to be
collected from customers.
Investment Recovery - In its general rate filing PGE requested
continued
recovery of Trojan plant costs, including decommissioning (see
Note 5, Trojan Nuclear Plant, in Portland General's and PGE's
reports on Form 10-Q
21
21
Portland General Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
for the period ended March 31, 1994 for
further details regarding the rate case proceedings).
LCP analysis assumed that continued recovery of the Trojan plant
investment, including future decommissioning costs, would be
granted by
the PUC. Regarding the authority of the PUC to grant recovery,
the
Oregon Department of Justice (Attorney General) issued an opinion
that
the PUC may allow rate recovery of total plant costs, including
operating expenses, taxes, decommissioning costs, return of
capital
invested in the plant and return on the undepreciated investment.
While
the Attorney General's opinion does not guarantee recovery of
costs
associated with the shutdown, it does clarify that under current
law the
PUC has authority to allow recovery of such costs in rates.
PGE asked the PUC to resolve certain legal and policy questions
regarding the statutory framework for future ratemaking
proceedings
related to the recovery of the Trojan investment and
decommissioning
costs. On August 9, 1993 the PUC issued a declaratory ruling
agreeing
with the Attorney General's opinion discussed above. The ruling
also
stated that the PUC will favorably consider allowing PGE to
recover in
rates some or all of its return on and return of its
undepreciated
investment in Trojan, including decommissioning costs, if PGE
meets
certain conditions. PGE believes that its general rate filing
provides
evidence that satisfies the conditions established by the PUC.
In early
1994, appeals of the PUC's declaratory ruling related to the
recovery of
the Trojan investment and decommissioning costs were filed in
Marion
County Circuit Court (see Legal Proceedings in Portland General's
and
PGE's reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1994
for
further discussion of legal challenges to the declaratory
ruling).
Management believes that the PUC will grant future revenues to
cover
all, or substantially all, of Trojan plant costs with an
appropriate
return. However, future recovery of the Trojan plant investment
and
future decommissioning costs requires PUC approval in a public
regulatory process. Although the PUC has allowed PGE to
continue, on an
interim basis, collection of these costs in the same manner as
prescribed in PGE's last general rate proceeding, the PUC has not
previously addressed recovery of costs related to a prematurely
retired
plant when the decision to close the plant was based upon a least
cost
planning process. Due to uncertainties inherent in a public
process,
management cannot predict, with certainty, whether all, or
substantially
all, of the $348 million Trojan plant investment and $347 million
of
decommissioning charges (to be collected through future rates)
will be
recovered. Management believes the ultimate outcome of this
public
regulatory process will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, liquidity or capital resources of Portland
General.
However, it may have a material impact on the results of
operations for
a future reporting period.

Commitments
PGE has entered into agreements with two U.S. and one Canadian
gas
supplier for firm purchases of approximately 54,000 MMBtu/day of
natural
gas for the months October 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995.
This
represents
approximately 60% of the estimated fuel needed for the planned
operation
of the Beaver natural gas plant for the period. The Canadian
agreement is for a fixed price and PGE has entered
into hedging transactions on the remaining two agreements
resulting in a fixed price
for these natural gas supplies. The estimated cost of these
agreements
based on the hedged price is approximately $15 million.

UTILITY
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) v. PGE, U.S. District
Court for
the District of Oregon
In early August 1994, Southern California Edison (SCE) filed a
complaint in
Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, Oregon seeking
termination
of a 1986 long-term firm power sales and exchange agreement.
PGE removed the state court case to federal court in the United
States District Court for the District of Oregon. SCE moved to
remand the case to the Oregon state court. A decision on SCE's
Motion to Remand is pending. On August 31, 1994, PGE filed a
petition with FERC for a Declaratory Order and Motion for Summary
Disposition regarding the issues raised by SCE's complaint. PGE
has filed a motion in federal court to dismiss or stay the case
pending resolution of PGE's petition at FERC.
Under the agreement, SCE is obligated to pay to PGE a reservation
fee for
system capacity, seasonal exchange and other services equal to
$16.9
million annually. SCE continues to make these payments. SCE is
seeking
termination of the agreement and damages, including a return of
payments
made to PGE from the date of PGE's alleged default (approximately
$30
million).
Citizens' Utility Board of Oregon/Utility Reform Project v.
Public Utility Commission of Oregon, Marion County Circuit Court
In early 1994 the Citizens' Utility Board of Oregon and the
Utility Reform Project appealed the Public Utility Commission of
Oregon's (PUC) decision to deny reconsideration of the PUC's
order in DR-10, the Declaratory Ruling regarding recovery of
Trojan investment and decommissioning collection. In early
November 1994, the court upheld the PUC's decision in DR-10 (see
the Investment Recovery discussion of the Trojan Related
Issues in the Financial and Operating Outlook section for further
details). The Court's decision is subject to appeal.

Payment Period, and on the Interest Payment Dates specified

the Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date, as
defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in
which case commencing on the second Interest Payment Date
succeeding the Original Issue Date, to the registered holder of
this bond on the Regular Record Date with respect to such
Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity Date shown above (or
any Redemption Date as described on the reverse hereof or any
Optional Repayment Date specified above). Interest on this bond
will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest
has been paid, from the Original Issue Date specified above,
until the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available
for payment. If the Maturity Date (or any Redemption Date or any
Optional Repayment Date) or an Interest Payment Date falls on a
day which is not a Business Day as defined below, principal or
interest payable with respect to such Maturity Date (or
Redemption Date or Optional Repayment Date) or Interest Payment
Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date (or
Redemption Date or Optional Repayment Date) or Interest Payment
Date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after such Maturity Date (or Redemption Date or
Optional Repayment Date) or Interest Payment Date. The interest
so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions, be
paid to the person in whose name this bond (or one or more
predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the
fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such
Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date"); provided,
however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any
Redemption Date or any Optional Repayment Date) will be payable
to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.
Should the Company default in the payment of interest ("Defaulted
Interest"), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in
whose name this bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is
registered on a subsequent record date fixed by the Company,
which subsequent record date shall be fifteen (15) days prior to
the payment of such Defaulted Interest. As used herein,
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on
which banks in The City of New York are not required or
authorized by law to close.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this bond will be
made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New
36
6
York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest on any
Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date (or any
Redemption Date or any Optional Repayment Date) may be made at
the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the
person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the bond
register of the Company. A person holding $10,000,000 or more in
aggregate principal amount of bonds having the same Interest
Payment Date (whether having identical or different terms and
provisions) will be entitled to receive payments of interest by
wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate
written wire transfer instructions have been received by the
Trustee not less than sixteen days prior to the applicable
Interest Payment Date.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
bond set forth on the reverse hereof, and such further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set
forth at this place.
This bond shall not become or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose until the authentication certificate hereon shall have
been signed by the Trustee.

maximum aggregate principal amount, all issued or issuable in one

specific series) by an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust
dated July 1, 1945, duly executed and delivered by the Company to
The Marine Midland Trust Company of New York (now Marine Midland

of the property mortgaged and pledged as security for said bonds,
the nature and extent of the security, and the rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the rights of the holders

This bond will not be subject to any sinking fund.
This bond may be subject to repayment at the option of the
holder on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, indicated on
the face hereof. If no Optional Repayment Dates are set forth on
the face hereof, this bond may not be so repaid at the option of
the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Optional Repayment
Date this bond shall be repayable in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
hereof shall be at least $100,000) at the option of the holder
hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount
to be repaid, together with interest thereon payable to the date
of repayment. For this bond to be repaid in whole or in part at
the option of the holder hereof, this bond must be received, with

completed, by the Trustee at 140 Broadway, New York, New York
10005-1180, or such address which the Company shall from time to
time notify the holders of the bonds, not more than 60 nor less
than 20 days prior to an Optional Repayment Date. Exercise of
such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.
This bond may be redeemed by the Company on any date on and
after the Initial Regular Redemption Date, if any, indicated on
the face hereof. If no Initial Regular Redemption Date is set
forth on the face hereof, this
39

bond may not be redeemed prior to maturity, except as provided in
the second succeeding paragraph. On and after the Initial Regu-
lar Redemption Date, if any, this bond may be redeemed at any
time in whole or from time to time in part in increments of
$1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at
least $100,000) at the option of the Company at the applicable
Regular Redemption Price (as defined below) together with
interest thereon payable to the date of such redemption, on
notice given not more than 90 nor less than 30 days prior to such
date. Any date on which Bonds are to be redeemed is herein
called a "Redemption Date".
The "Regular Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial
Regular Redemption Percentage, shown on the face hereof, of the
principal amount of this bond to be redeemed and shall decline at
each anniversary of the Initial Regular Redemption Date, shown on
the face hereof, by the Annual Regular Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if any, shown on the face hereof, of the principal
amount to be redeemed until the Regular Redemption Price is 100%
of such principal amount.
The Bonds may be redeemed prior to maturity as a whole at any
time or in part from time to time (in increments as specified in
the second preceding paragraph) in the instances provided in the
Indenture by the application of proceeds of the sale or
disposition substantially as an entirety of the Company's
electric properties at Portland, Oregon, upon payment of the
principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued to the
date of such redemption, on notice given as provided in such
second preceding paragraph.
Interest payments on this bond will include interest accrued
to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. Interest payments for this bond will be
computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
If this bond or any portion thereof ($1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof) is duly called for redemption and payment duly
provided for as specified in the Indenture, this bond or such
portion thereof shall cease to be entitled to the lien of the
Indenture from and after the date payment is so provided for and
shall cease to bear interest from and after the redemption date
fixed for such redemption.
In the event of the selection for redemption of a portion only
of the principal of this bond, payment of the redemption price
will be made only upon surrender of this bond in exchange for a
bond or bonds (but only of authorized denominations) for the
unredeemed balance of the principal amount of this bond.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than
seventy-five per cent in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive
of bonds disqualified by reason of the Company's interest
therein) at the time outstanding, including, if more than one
series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than
sixty per cent in principal amount of each series affected, to
effect, by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture,
modifications or alterations of the Indenture and of the rights
and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds
and coupons; provided, however, that no such modification or
alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent
of the holder hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this
bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
hereon or reduce the amount of the principal hereof or reduce any
premium payable on the redemption hereof, (b) permit the creation
of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity
with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce the percentage of
the principal amount of the bonds upon the approval or consent of
the holders of which modifications or alterations may be made as
aforesaid.
This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York, upon surrender of this
bond for cancellation and upon payment of any taxes or other
governmental charges payable upon such transfer, and thereupon a
new registered bond or bonds of the same series and of a like
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee or
transferees in exchange therefor.
The Company, the Trustee and any paying agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payments of or
an account of the principal hereof and interest due hereon, and
for all other purposes, whether or not this bond shall be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any paying
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered
form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The registered owner of
this bond at his option may surrender the same for cancellation
at said office of the Trustee and receive in exchange therefor
the same aggregate principal amount of registered bonds of the
same series and with the same terms and provisions, including the
same issue date, maturity date, and redemption provisions, if
any, and which bear interest at the same rate, but of other
authorized denominations, upon payment of any taxes or other
governmental charges payable upon
41
11
such exchange and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Indenture.
If an event of default as defined in the Indenture shall
occur, the principal of this bond may become or be declared due
and payable before maturity in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. The holders, however, of certain
specified percentages of the bonds at the time outstanding,
including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of
particular series, may in the cases, to the extent and as
provided in the Indenture, waive certain defaults thereunder and
the consequences of such defaults.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, shareholder, director or officer, past, present or
future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or
such predecessor or successor corporation, under any constitution
or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of
incorporators, shareholders, directors and officers, as such,
being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the
acceptance of this bond and as provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture provides that this bond shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for
all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of said State.

ARTICLE ONE.
BONDS OF THE MEDIUM TERM NOTE SERIES III AND
CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING THERETO.
SECTION 1.01. Certain Terms of Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series III. The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of the
Medium Term Note Series III shall be limited to $75,000,000,
excluding, however, any Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III
which may be executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange
for or in lieu of or in substitution for other Bonds of such
Series pursuant to the provisions of the Original Indenture or of
this Supplemental Indenture.
The definitive Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III shall
be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in the
denomination of $100,000, or any amount in excess thereof that is
a multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
2.05 of the Original Indenture, each Bond of the Medium Term Note
Series III shall be dated as of the date of its authentication,
and shall mature on such date not less than nine months nor more
than thirty years from such date, shall bear interest from such
date, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, which may be
fixed or variable, and have such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with the Original Indenture as the Board of
Directors of the Company, or any officer of the Company acting
pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors may
determine (the execution of any bond of the Medium Term Note
Series III by any authorized officer of the Company being, with
regard to any holder of such bond, conclusive evidence of such
approval). Interest on Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III
shall be payable on the dates edstablished on the date of first
authentication of such Bond ("Original Issue Date"). The person
in whose name any Bond of the Medium Term Note Series III is
registered at the close of business on the applicable record date
with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to
receive the interest payable thereon on such interest payment
date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any
transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such record date and
prior to such interest payment date, unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on such interest
payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid
to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on a
subsequent record date fixed by the Company, which subsequent
record date shall be fifteen (15) days prior to the payment of
such defaulted interest. Such interest payments shall be made in
such manner and in such places as provided on the Form of Bonds
of the Medium Term Note Series III set forth in this Supplemental
Indenture. The principal of the Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series III shall be payable in any coin or currency
46
16
of the United States of America which at the time of payment is
legal tender for the payment of public and private debts at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City
and State of New York, and interest and premium, if any, on such
Bonds shall be payable in like coin or currency at said office or
agency.
The definitive Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III may be
issued in the form of Bonds, engraved, printed or lithographed on
steel engraved borders.
Upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.06 of the
Original Indenture and as provided in this Supplemental
Indenture, and upon payment of any taxes or other governmental
charges payable upon such exchange, Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series III may be exchanged for a new Bond or Bonds of different
authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount.
The Trustee hereunder shall, by virtue of its office as such
Trustee, be the registrar and transfer agent of the Company for
the purpose of registering and transferring Bonds of the Medium
Term Note Series III.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Original
Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any exchange or
transfer of Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III, but the
Company at its option may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto.
SECTION 1.02. Redemption Provisions for Bonds of the Medium
Term Note Series III. The Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series
III shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as a whole
at any time or in part from time to time as the Board of
Directors of the Company, or any officer of the Company acting
pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors may
determine, and as set forth on the Form of Bonds of the Medium
Term Note Series III set forth in this Supplemental Indenture.
The Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III which are
redeemable on the payment of a Regular Redemption Price as
provided for in this Section 1.02 may be redeemed at such Regular
Redemption Price through the application of cash deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Original Indenture
upon the taking, purchase or sale of any property subject to the
lien hereof or thereof in the manner set forth in said Section.
The Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III are also subject
to redemption through the application of proceeds of the sale or
disposition
47
17
substantially as an entirety of the Company's electric properties
at Portland, Oregon, which proceeds are required by the provisions
of Section 7.01 of the Original Indenture to be applied to the
retirement of Bonds, upon payment of the principal amount thereof
together with interest thereon payable to the date of redemption.
SECTION 1.03. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.07
of the Original Indenture, the provisions of Sections 4.04, 4.05,
and 4.06 of the Original Indenture shall remain in full force and
effect and shall be performed by the Company so long as any Bonds
of the Medium Term Note Series III remain outstanding. The Bonds
of the Medium Term Note Series III which are redeemable on the
payment of a Regular Redemption Price as provided for in Section
1.02 of this Supplemental Indenture may be redeemed at such
Regular Redemption Price with moneys remaining in the replacement
fund provided for in said Section 4.04 of the Original Indenture.
SECTION 1.04. The requirements which are stated in the next
to the last paragraph of Section 1.13 and in Clause (9) of
Paragraph A of Section 3.01 of the Original Indenture to be
applicable so long as any of the Bonds of the 1975 Series are
outstanding shall remain applicable so long as any of the Bonds
of the Medium Term Note Series III are outstanding.
SECTION 1.05. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06
or Section 2.10 of the Original Indenture, the Company shall not
be required (i) to issue, register, discharge from registration,
exchange or transfer any Bond of the Medium Term Note Series III
for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection by
the Trustee of Bonds of the Medium Term Note Series III to be
redeemed or (ii) to register, discharge from registration,
exchange or transfer any Bond of the Medium Term Note Series III
so selected for redemption in its entirety or (iii) to exchange
or transfer any portion of a Bond of the Medium Term Note Series
III which portion has been so selected for redemption.
SECTION 1.06. So long as any Bonds of the Medium Term Note
Series III remain outstanding, all references to the minimum
provision for depreciation in the form of certificate of
available additions set forth in Section 3.03 of the Original
Indenture shall be included in any certificate of available
additions filed with the Trustee, but whenever Bonds of the
Medium Term Note Series III shall no longer be outstanding, all
references to such minimum provisions for depreciation may be
omitted from any such certificate.
SECTION 1.07. I. Each holder of any Bond of the Medium Term
48
18
Note Series III by acceptance of such Bond shall thereby consent
that, at any time after the requisite consents, if any, of the
holders of Bonds of other series shall have been given as
hereinafter provided, Subsections A and G of Section 1.10 of the
Original Indenture be amended so as to read as follows:
"A. The term `bondable public utility property' shall mean
and comprise any tangible property now owned or hereafter
acquired by the Company and subjected to the lien of this
Indenture, which is located in the States of Oregon, Washington,
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah
and Nevada and is used or is useful to it in the business of
furnishing or distributing electricity for heat, light or power
or other use, or supplying hot water or steam for heat or power
or steam for other purposes, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, all properties necessary or
appropriate for purchasing, generating, manufacturing, producing,
transmitting, supplying, distributing and/or disposing of
electricity, hot water or steam; provided, however, that the term
`bondable public utility property' shall not be deemed to include
any nonbondable property, as defined in Subsection B of this
Section 1.10, or any excepted property."
"G. The term `minimum provision for depreciation' for the
period from March 31, 1945 through December 31, 1966, as applied
to bondable public utility property, whether or not subject to a
prior lien, shall mean $35,023,487.50.
"The term `minimum provision for depreciation' for any calen-
dar year subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable
public utility property, shall mean the greater of (i) an amount
equal to 2% of depreciable bondable public utility property, as
shown by the books of the Company as of January 1 of such year,
with respect to which the Company was as of that date required,
in accordance with sound accounting practice, to make
appropriations to a reserve or reserves for depreciation or
obsolescence, or (ii) the amount actually appropriated by the
Company on its books of account to a reserve or reserves for
depreciation or obsolescence in respect of depreciable bondable
public utility property for such calendar year, in either case
less an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any
property additions which during such calendar year were included
in an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee as the basis
for a sinking fund credit pursuant to the provisions of a sinking
fund for Bonds of any series, and (b) 166-2/3% of the principal
amount of Bonds of any series which shall have been delivered to
the Trustee as a credit, or which the Company shall have elected
to apply as a credit, against any sinking fund payment due during
such calendar year for Bonds of any
49
19
series, or which shall have been redeemed in anticipation of, or
out of moneys paid to the Trustee on account of, any sinking fund
payment due during such calendar year for Bonds of any series.
Bonds delivered to the Trustee as, or applied as, a credit
against any sinking fund payment and Bonds redeemed in
anticipation of any sinking fund payment, regardless of the time
when they were actually delivered, applied or redeemed, for
purposes of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been
delivered, applied or redeemed, as the case may be, on the
sinking fund payment date when such sinking fund payment was due.
Bonds redeemed out of moneys paid to the Trustee on account of
any sinking fund payment shall, regardless of the date when they
were redeemed, for purposes of the second preceding sentence, be
deemed to have been redeemed on the later of (i) the date on
which such moneys were paid to the Trustee or (ii) the sinking
fund payment date when such sinking fund payment was due.
"The minimum provision for depreciation for any calendar year
subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to bondable public
utility property not subject to a prior lien, shall be determined
as set forth in the paragraph immediately preceding, except that
all references therein to `depreciable bondable public utility
property' shall be deemed to be `depreciable bondable public
utility property not subject to a prior lien'.
"The minimum provision for depreciation as applied to bondable
public utility property and the minimum provision for deprecia-
tion as applied to bondable public utility property not subject
to a prior lien for any period commencing subsequent to December
31, 1966 which is of twelve whole calendar months' duration but
is other than a calendar year or which is of less than twelve
whole calendar months' duration shall be determined by
multiplying the number of whole calendar months in such period by
one-twelfth of the corresponding minimum provision for
depreciation for the most recent calendar year completed prior to
the end of such period, and fractions of a calendar month shall
be disregarded.
"The aggregate amount of the minimum provision for deprecia-
tion as applied to bondable public utility property and the
aggregate amount of the minimum provision for depreciation as
applied to bondable public utility property not subject to a
prior lien from March 31, 1945 to any date shall be the sum of
the corresponding minimum provision for depreciation for each
completed calendar year between December 31, 1966 and such date,
plus the corresponding minimum provision for depreciation for the
period, if any, from the end of the most recent such completed
calendar year to such date, in each case determined as set forth
above, plus $35,023,487.50.
"All Bonds credited against any sinking fund payment due sub-
sequent
50
20
to December 31, 1966 for Bonds of any series and (except as
provided in Section 9.04 with respect to Bonds on which a
notation of partial payment shall be made) all Bonds redeemed in
anticipation of or out of moneys paid to the Trustee as a part of
any sinking fund payment due subsequent to December 31, 1966 for
Bonds of any series, shall be canceled and no such Bonds, nor any
property additions which, subsequent to December 31, 1966, shall
have been included in an officers' certificate filed with the
Trustee as the basis for a sinking fund credit pursuant to the
provisions of a sinking fund for Bonds of any series, shall be
made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds or of
any other further action or credit hereunder."
II. Each holder of any Bond of the Medium Term Note Series
III, by acceptance of such Bond shall thereby consent that, at
any time after the requisite consents, if any, of the holders of
Bonds of other series shall have been given as hereinafter
provided:
(1) Subsection A of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture,
as the same may be amended as hereinabove in this Section
1.07 provided, be further amended by replacing the word
"and" between the words "Utah" and "Nevada" with a comma and
by adding after the word "Nevada" the words "and Alaska";
(2) Subsection G of Section 1.10 of the Original Indenture,
as the same may be amended as hereinabove in this Section
1.07 provided, be further amended by amending the second
paragraph thereof to read as follows:
"The term `minimum provision for depreciation' for any
calendar year subsequent to December 31, 1966, as applied to
bondable public utility property, shall mean the greater of
(i) an amount equal to 2% of depreciable bondable public
utility property, as shown by the books of the Company as of
January 1 of such year, with respect to which the Company
was as of that date required, in accordance with sound
accounting practice, to make appropriations to a reserve or
reserves for depreciation or obsolescence, or (ii) the
amount actually appropriated by the Company on its books of
account to a reserve or reserves for depreciation or
obsolescence in respect of depreciable bondable public
utility property for such calendar year, in either case less
an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any
property additions which during such calendar year were
included in an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee
as the basis for a sinking fund credit pursuant to the
provisions of a sinking fund for Bonds of any series and
which as a result of having been so included have
51
21
been deemed, either without time limit or only so long as
any Bonds of such series are outstanding, to have been
`included in an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee
as the basis for a sinking fund credit' and to have been
`made the basis for action or credit hereunder' as such term
is defined in Subsection H of Section 1.10 of the Original
Indenture, and (b) 166-2/3% of the principal amount of Bonds
of any series which shall have been delivered to the Trustee
as a credit, or which the Company shall have elected to
apply as a credit, against any sinking fund payment due
during such calendar year for Bonds of any series, or which
shall have been redeemed in anticipation of, or out of
moneys paid to the Trustee on account of, any sinking fund
payment due during such calendar year for Bonds of any
series and which as a result of having been so made the
basis of a credit upon a sinking fund payment and/or so
redeemed by operation of a sinking fund shall have been
disqualified, either without time limit or only so long as
any Bonds of such series are outstanding, from being made
the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds or of
any other further action or credit under the Original
Indenture or any supplemental indenture. Bonds delivered to
the Trustee as, or applied as, a credit against any sinking
fund payment and Bonds redeemed in anticipation of any
sinking fund payment, regardless of the time when they were
actually delivered, applied or redeemed, for purposes of the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been delivered,
applied or redeemed, as the case may be, on the sinking fund
payment date when such sinking fund payment was due. Bonds
redeemed out of moneys paid to the Trustee on account of any

sponding minimum provision for depreciation for the period,
if any, from the end of the most recent such completed
calendar year to such date, in each case determined as set
forth above, plus (2) $35,023,487.50, plus (3) an amount
equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of any property
additions which, between December 31, 1966 and such date,
became property additions of the character described in
clause (a) of the second paragraph of this Subsection G and

that all Bonds of such series ceased to be outstanding, and
(b) 166-2/3% of the principal amount of Bonds of any series
which, between December 31, 1966 and such date, become Bonds
of the character described in clause (b) of the second
paragraph of this Subsection G and which, thereafter, also
between December 31, 1966 and such date, became `available
Bond retirements' as a result of the fact that all Bonds of
such series ceased to be outstanding."
