Portland General Electric Reports
Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
and Revises 2010 Guidance
 
Portland, Ore, October 28, 2010 — Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income of $49 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $32 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009. PGE now estimates earnings per diluted share for 2010 will range from $1.65 to $1.80. The increase in net income and the revision to 2010 guidance were driven by the effects of the Oregon Senate Bill 408 (SB 408) calculation. During the third quarter of 2010, a new federal tax law was enacted that includes the extension of bonus depreciation, which resulted in a significant increase in the amount to be collected from customers pursuant to SB 408. The earnings impact related to SB 408, including the effect of the new tax law, was approximately $0.16 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010.
Retail revenues increased $25 million, or 6%, from the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to a $20 million increase related to SB 408. Also contributing to the revenue increase was a change in the mix of customers that purchase their energy requirements from PGE. Partially offsetting these increases was the impact of a 5% decrease in average retail prices in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.
Retail energy deliveries were down 2.7%, with decreases in residential and commercial deliveries partially offset by an increase in industrial deliveries. Decreases of 5.4% and 3.8% in residential and commercial deliveries, respectively, were driven primarily by cooler than normal weather in the third quarter of 2010, compared with warmer than normal weather in 2009, and by the continued impact of the weak economy. Partially offsetting these decreases was a 4.2% increase in industrial energy deliveries.
On a weather adjusted basis, retail energy deliveries approximated those of the third quarter of 2009. Weather adjusted retail energy deliveries for 2010 are expected to be approximately 1.5% below 2009 due to the combination of energy efficiency initiatives and the continued effects of the economy. Such declines are expected to be partially offset by a moderate increase in deliveries to existing industrial customers, including those in the high technology sector.

The average variable power cost in the third quarter of 2010 decreased 8% compared to the third quarter of 2009. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in lower-cost generation, resulting from both lower fuel costs and higher plant availability. Availability of the plants that PGE operates was 94% in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 86% in 2009.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $100 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to $87 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2009. The $13 million increase was primarily due to the effects of SB 408 and a 7% decrease in the average variable power cost. A 3.9% decrease in retail energy deliveries was driven by the continuing effects of the economy and mild weather.
"PGE is proud to have completed Biglow Canyon Wind Farm - one of the largest wind projects in the Pacific Northwest - on time and under budget," said Jim Piro, President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am also pleased that our generation and power delivery teams performed very well during this period. We have also reached agreement on all items related to revenue requirements in the current general rate case, which we believe provides a fair and reasonable outcome for customers and shareholders."
Third Quarter Highlights
▪    
Completed Phase III of the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm project at a total cost of $383 million. The completed project has a total of 217 wind turbines in service, with a total installed capacity of approximately 450 MW. Energy from wind resources provided 7% of PGE’s retail load requirement in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 4% in the third quarter of 2009.
▪    
Reached agreement in the Company's 2011 General Rate Case proceeding among PGE, the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) staff and customer groups on all items related to revenue requirement issues, with the following impact to the initial filing (in millions):

*     The 2011 load forecast was updated in September 2010 and fo recasted NVPC for 2011 will be updated through November 15, 2010.
 
The stipulated items include the following:
 
◦    
Capital structure of 50% debt and 50% equity;
◦    
Return on equity of 10.0%;
◦    
Cost of capital of 8.033%;
◦    
The Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism (PCAM) deadband range was fixed at $15 million below and $30 million above the baseline NVPC;
◦    
Extension of the decoupling mechanism through December 31, 2013; and
 
After considering all items agreed among PGE, OPUC staff, and customer groups, the filing results in a 3.5% overall customer price increase and an average rate base of approximately $3.153 billion. The price increase is subject to change to incorporate final updates to the forecast of 2011 NVPC. The regulatory review process is continuing, with a final order expected from the OPUC before the end of 2010. New rates are expected to be effective January 1, 2011.

Third Quarter Operating Results
 
◦    
Agreement between PGE and certain parties to allow changes in customer prices to reflect the incremental revenue requirement impact of a shortened Boardman operating life, if that were to occur, subject to OPUC approval.
▪    
Retail revenues increased $25 million, or 6%, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to:
◦    
A $20 million increase related to SB 408, resulting primarily from the effect of a new federal tax law that provides for the extension of bonus depreciation, which resulted in a significant increase in the amount to be collected from customers;
◦    
A $12 million increase in energy sales, consisting of the net effect of:
•    
A 4.2% increase in deliveries to industrial customers, primarily due to improvement in the high technology sector, the 2010 return of a large customer from another electricity supplier to PGE for its energy requirements, and increased production by another large industrial customer; and
•    
Decreases of 5.4% and 3.8% in residential and commercial deliveries, respectively, driven primarily by both cooler summer weather and the continued impact of the weak economy. Partially offsetting the effects of the weather and the economy was the impact of a 4,700 increase in the average number of customers served;
◦    
A $5 million increase related to the reversal of a deferral for customer refunds under the 2005 Oregon Corporate Tax Kicker, pursuant to an OPUC order;
◦    
A $4 million increase related to the accrual of revenue requirements for Biglow Canyon;
◦    
A $2 million increase related to the decoupling mechanism, due to a $2 million customer refund recorded in 2009; partially offset by
◦    
A $19 million decrease related to a 5% decrease in average retail price. A decrease in net variable power costs, pursuant to the Company's Annual Power Cost Update Tariff, was partially offset by increases related to the Biglow Canyon Phase II and Selective Water Withdrawal capital projects.
▪    
Purchased power and fuel expense decreased $22 million, or 10%, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009, with $20 million related to an 8% decrease in average variable po wer cost and $2 million related to a 1% decrease in total system load. The average variable power cost decreased to $38.12 per MWh in the third quarter of 2010 from $41.54 per MWh in the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to a shift in the mix of energy sources. Thermal generation was higher in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. Energy from hydro resources was approximately 9% and 10% below normal in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, and is expected to be below normal for the year.
▪    
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6 million, or 11%, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 largely due to increased capital additions related to Biglow Canyon Phase III and the smart meter project.
•    
Other income, net decreased $3 million primarily due to a decrease in income from non-qualified benefit plan trust assets. In the third quarter of 2010, PGE recorded a $3 million gain, compared to a $5 million gain recorded in the third quarter of 2009.
2010 Earnings Guidance
PGE is revising earnings guidance from the previously reported range of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share to $1.65 to $1.80 per diluted share. The guidance change reflects the effect of a change in federal law regarding 2010 bonus depreciation on SB 408, representing approximately $0.20 per diluted share. The aggregate net effect of several other items represents an additional positive impact of approximately $0.05 per diluted share.
