sell or exchange, in one or more public offerings or private placements, fixed or floating rate
debt (DebD in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,575,000,000 or, if the Debt is

2010 Order, the Commission authorized the Company to issue up to $2.0 billion of securities
similar to those covered in the enclosed Application. The Company has subsequently issued
$1.875 billion principal amount of debt under the 2010 Order authority and has $125.0 million of
additional issuance authorized under that order. As the Company does not anticipate utilizing
the remaining authority under the 2010 Order, it may be withdrawn if the Commission issues its
order in this matter.

(6) Stock Exchange on which listed:
The Company has generally not listed its bonds, but has in the past listed certain

General: Alternatives currently available to the Company include (1)
conventional first mortgage bonds placed publicly or privately in the domestic or
foreign markets, (2) unsecured debt securities placed publicly or privately in the
domestic or foreign markets, and (3) floating-rate debt placed publicly or
privately in the domestic or foreign markets. A brief description of these
transactions is set forth below.
I. First Mortgage Bonds. First mortgage bonds have been the traditional
debt financing vehicle utilized by utilities in the United States, and axe
typically offered in public offerings but may be privately placed. First
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 4
mortgage bonds are secured by a mortgage on the fixed assets of the
utility.
The bonds are typically redeemable through a make-whole call at the
Company's option at redemption prices dependent upon U.S. Treasury
yields. This type of redemption feature does not typically require the
issuer to pay a higher coupon rate. The Company may determine that a
call provision is appropriate to provide financial flexibility in changing
interest rate environments, and the bonds may be redeemable at a premium
over the principal amount, with the premium declining to zero near the
final maturity of the bonds.
The Company's first mortgage bonds are issued as First Mortgage Bonds
under the PacifiCorp Mortgage. The Commission has previously
authorized the Company to incur the lien of the PacifiCorp Mortgage in
Case No. U-l046-15, Order No. 22157.
The underwriting fee for First Mortgage Bond issuances vary by the
maturity of the debt but is not expected to exceed one percent of the
principal amount.
Unsecured Debt Securities. Unsecured debt securities will be
subordinated to the Company's First Mortgage Bonds. These securities
may be issued in one or more separate series or in a single series and
placed publicly or privately in the domestic or foreign markets. Principal
amount, maturity, interest rate and redemption terms are fixed at the time
of sale.
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
Compensation to the agents varies by the maturity of each tranche of
securities issued, but is not expected to exceed one percent ofthe principal
amount of securities placed.
m. Floatine-Rate Debt. Floating-rate debt is a security with interest rates that
reset periodically, such as daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-
annually or annually at the option of the Company. The most common
indices used for pricing floating-rate debt are based upon LIBOR,
commercial paper and Treasury bills.
Refunding provisions for floating-rate debt vary from transaction to
transaction depending upon the structure of the agreement. Should the
Company subsequently fix the interest rate through an interest rate swap
or cap, the cost of refunding would include the cost of unwinding the swap
or cap.
Floating-rate debt could be more advantageous than fixed-rate debt. First,
it can provide the Company with an occasional source of long-term
funding at attractive rates compared to the fixed-rate market. Second, it
allows the Company access to the short end of the yield curve when short-
term rates are attractive. Should rates begin to increase, the Company
could execute an interest rate swap or cap to secure a fixed rate.
The fees associated with a floating-rate debt arrangement are not expected
to exceed one percent of the principal amount of the debt.
Credit Support Arrangements
In addition, the Company may find it advantageous to enter into letter of credit
arrangements with one or more banks or such other agreements or arrangements
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOLINTAIN POWER 6
as may be necessary or appropriate, from time to time, to provide additional credit
support for the payment of the principal of the interest on and the premium of the
Debt. Such credit support arrangements could result in a lower all-in cost of debt.
(e) A description of the method of issuance and sale or procedure by which any oblieation as
guarantor will be assumed:
The Company proposes to issue the Debt from time to time in either public offerings or
private placements, domestically or overseas, for cash or in exchange for its outstanding
securities. The financial markets have become increasingly global and, as such, foreign
sources of capital compete directly with domestic sources for investment opportunities.
The Company anticipates that issuances will be primarily fixed-rate First Mortgage
Bonds, but it is requesting authority for a variety of borrowing options in order to provide
the financial flexibility to pursue the most affractive markets at the time of issuance and
to produce the most competitive cost for the Company.
Underwriters or placement agents will be selected after negotiations with a group of
potential candidates. The firm or firms selected to lead an offering under this authority
will be determined by the Company's assessment of their ability to assist the Company in
meeting its objective of having the lowest total cost for the Debt to be issued. This
assessment is based upon the level of underwriting or placement fees, their knowledge of
the Company and its varied operations, the Company's parent company and its affiliates,
and their ability to market the Debt to achieve the Company's financing and capital
structure objectives.
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
(f) (1) (i) The name and address of any person receivine a fee (other than a fee for technical
services) for neeotiating. issuing. or selling the securities or for securing an
underwriter. sellers. or purchasers of secrnities except as related to a competitive
bid:
Other than for technical services, the only fees payable by the Company will be
fees and expenses to the underwriters and agents. The Company may also incur
an annual fee for credit support which is not expected to exceed one percent on
the principal amount of the Debt.
(ii) The fee amount:
Subject to final negotiations, the fee is not expected to exceed 3.0 percent ofthe
aggregate principal amount of the Debt if the Debt is issued overseas. If issued
domestically, the fee is not expected to exceed 1.0 percent of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debt. The level of the fee is only one factor in
determining the overall cost of the Debt to be issued and, as such, is not the sole
basis of the financing decision.
(iii) The facts showing the reason for and reasonableness of the fee:
The aforementioned compensation levels to the agents or underwriters are
consistent with the usual and customary fees prevailing currently in the market.
These fees are reasonable given the services provided by the agents or
underwriters. The agents and the underwriters will be familiar with the Company,
its parent company and affrliates and their long-term financing needs. They will
be available for consultation on these matters and will assist the Company in
evaluating market conditions and in formulating the exact terms of the
transactions. See subsection (f) supra.
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER 8
(e)The purposes of the issuance:
The purposes for which the Debt is proposed to be issued in this matter are (1) the
acquisition of property, (2) the construction, completion, extension or improvement of
utility facilities, (3) the improvement of service, (4) the discharge or lawful refunding of
obligations which were incurred for utility purposes or (5) the reimbursement of the
Company's treasury for funds used for the foregoing purposes.
The Company keeps its accounts in a manner which enables the Commission to ascertain
the amount of money expended and the purposes for which the expenditures were made.
If the frrnds to be reimbursed were used for the discharge or refunding of obligations,
those obligations or their precedents were originally incurred in furtherance of the utility
purposes listed above.
To the extent that the funds to be reimbursed were used for the discharge or refunding of
obligations, those obligations or their precedents were originally incurred in furtherance
of utility purposes (l), (2) and (3) supra.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that PacifiCorp filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") using the o'shelf' registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time
sell the Securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides a general description ofthe
Securities. Each time we sell Securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about
the terms of that offering. That prospectus supplement may include or incorporate by reference a detailed and current
discussion ofany risk factors and will discuss any special considerations applicable to those securities. The prospectus
supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and
any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under "Where You Can Find More Information." If
there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the
information contained in that prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus, the words "PacifiCo.p,"
"Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, and its subsidiaries.
For more detailed information about the Securities, you can read the exhibits to the registration statement. Those
exhibits have been either filed with the registration statement or incorporated by reference to earlier SEC filings listed in the
registration statement. See "Where You Can Find More Information."
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the additional information described under the heading
"Where You Can Find More Information" may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27 A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Acf') and Section 2lE of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Acf'), which are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of these provisions.
Examples include discussions as to our expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives and future financial or other performance
or assumptions concerning matters discussed, including through incorporation by reference, in this prospectus. This
information, by its nature, involves estimates, projections, forecasts, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or
outcomes to differ substantially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements found in this prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect
actual results and are often beyond our ability to control. We have identified a number of these factors in our filings with the
SEC, including the Form lO-K, the Forms l0-Q and the Forms 8-K incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and we refer
you to those reports for further information.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update
any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made. The forward-looking
statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by
the preceding cautionary statements.
THE COMPANY
We are a regulated, vertically integrated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential,
commercial, industrial, irrigation and other customers in portions of the states of Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho
and Califomia. We own, or have interests in, a number of thermal, hydroelectric, wind-powered and geothermal generating
facilities, as well as electric transmission and distribution assets. We also buy and sell electricity on the wholesale market with
other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants to balance and optimize the
economic benefits of electricity generation, retail loads and existing wholesale transactions. We are subject to comprehensive
state and federal regulation. Our subsidiaries support our electric utility operations by providing coal mining services.
We are an indirect subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MEHC"), a holding company based in
Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. MEHC controls substantially all of our voting securities, which include both common and preferred
stock.
,t:.3"2117:A1'T
Y:.
Our principal executive offices are located at 825 N.E. Multnomah Street, Portland, Oregon 97232 and our telephone
number is (503) 813-5608. We were initially incorporated in 1910 under the laws of the state of Maine under the name Pacific
Power & Light Company. In 1984, Pacific Power & Light Company changed its name to PacifiCorp. In 1989, we merged with
Utah Power and Light Company, a Utah corporation, in a transaction wherein both corporations merged into a newly formed
Oregon corporation. The resulting Oregon corporation was re-named PacifiCorp, which is the operating entity today.
For additional information conceming our business and affairs, including our capital requirements and external
financing arrangements, and pending legal and regulatory proceedings, including descriptions ofthose laws and regulations to
which we are subject, prospective purchasers should refer to the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus as
described in the section entitled "Where You Can Find More Information."
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Securities involves risk. Before purchasing any Securities we offeq you should carefully consider the
risk factors described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and the following risk factors related to the Securities, as well
as the other information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference
herein in order to evaluate an investment in our Securities. See "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Where You Can Find
More Information" in this prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we currently believe
are immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a loss on
your investment.
We have not appraised the collateral subject to the mortgage securing our Additional Bonds ('6Mortgage") and, if there
is a default or a foreclosure sale, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay the holders of any Additional
Bonds.
We have not made any formal appraisal of the value of the collateral subject to the Mortgage, which will secure any
Additional Bonds. The value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the
availability of buyers, the timing of the sale of the collateral and other factors. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from a
sale of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfu the amounts outstanding under the Additional Bonds and our other first
mortgage bonds secured by the same collateral or that such payments would be made in a timely manner. If the proceeds were
not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the Additional Bonds, then holders of the Additional Bonds, to the extent not
repaid from the proceeds ofthe sale ofthe collateral, would only have an unsecured claim against our remaining assets.
There is no existing market for the Securities, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market for the Securities
will develop.
We do not intend to apply for listing of the Securities on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.
There can be no assuranae as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Securities. Accordingly, the ability of
holders to sell the Securities that they hold or the price at which holders will be able to sell the Securities may be limited.
Future trading prices of the Securities will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our
operating results and the market for similar securities.
We do not know whether an active trading market will develop for the Securities. To the extent that an active trading
market does develop, the price at which a holder may be able to sell the Securities that it holds, if at all, may be less than the
price paid for them. Consequently, a holder may not be able to liquidate its investment readily, and the Securities may not be
readily accepted as collateral for loans.

DESCRIPTION OF ADDITIONAL BONDS
General
Additional Bonds may be issued from time to time under our Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of January 9,
1989, as amended and supplemented (the "Mortgage"), with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor
trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (the "Mortgage Trustee"). The following summary is subject to the provisions of and is
qualified by reference to the Mortgage, a copy of which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Whenever particular
provisions or defined terms in the Mortgage are referred to herein, those provisions or defined terms are incorporated by
reference herein. Section andArticle references used below are references to provisions ofthe Mortgage unless otherwise
noted. When we refer to "bonds," we refer to all first mortgage bonds issued under the Mortgage, including the Additional
Bonds.
Z:.Y"111*1'tr" [:,
We expect to issue Additional Bonds in the form of fully registered bonds and, except as may be set forth in any
prospectus supplement relating to those Additional Bonds, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $ 1 ,000 in
excess thereof. The Additional Bonds may be transferred without charge, other than for applicable taxes or other govemmental
charges, at the offices of the Mortgage Trustee, New York, New York. Any Additional Bonds issued will be equally and ratably
secured with all other bonds issued under the Mortgage. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form."
Maturity and Interest Payments
The prospectus supplement relating to any Additional Bonds will set forth the date or dates on which those Additional
Bonds will mature, the rate or rates per annum at which those Additional Bonds will bear interest and the times at which any
interest will be payable. Those terms, as well as other terms and conditions of the Additional Bonds, including those related to
redemption and purchase referred to under "Redemption or Purchase ofAdditional Bonds" below will be established by
resolution of our Board of Directors at the time we issue the Additional Bonds.
Redemption or Purchase of Additional Bonds
The prospectus supplement relating to any Additional Bonds will set forth the redemption or repurchase terms and
other specific terms of those Additional Bonds.
Il at the time notice of redemption is given, the redemption amount is not held by the Mortgage Trustee, the
redemption may be made subject to the receipt of the redemption amount by the Mortgage Trustee on or before the date fixed
for redemption. A redemption notice will be of no effect unless the redemption amount is received.
The Mortgage, as described below, contains provisions for the maintenance of the Mortgaged and Pledged Property.
There is no sinking or analogous fund in the Mortgage.
Cash deposited under any provisions of the Mortgage may be applied (with specific exceptions) to the redemption or
repurchase of bonds of any series. (Section 7.03, Article XII and Section 13.06)
Security and Priority
The Additional Bonds will be issued under the Mortgage and secured by a first mortgage lien on certain utility
property owned from time to time by us and/or by Class "A" Bonds, if any, held by the Mortgage Trustee.
There are excepted from the Mortgage all cash and securities (except those specifically deposited); equipment,
materials or supplies held for sale or other disposition; any fuel and similar consumable materials and supplies; automobiles,
other vehicles, aircraft and vessels; timber, minerals, mineral rights and royalties; receivables, contracts, leases and operating
agreements; electric energy, gas, water, steam and other products for sale,,distribution or other use; natural gas wells; gas
transportation lines or other property used in the sale ofnatural gas to customers or to a natural gas distribution or pipeline
company, up to the point of connection with any distribution system; our interest in the Wyodak Facility; and all properties that
have been released from the discharged Mortgages and Deeds of Trust, as supplemented, of Pacific Power & Light Company
and Utah Power & Light Company and that PacifiCorp, a Maine corporation, or Utah Power & Light Company, a Utah
corporation, contracted to dispose of, but title to which had not passed at the date of the Mortgage. The lien of the Mortgage is
also subject to Excepted Encumbrances, including tax and construction liens, purchase money liens and other specific
exceptions. We have reserved the right, without any consent or other action by holders ofbonds ofthe Ninth Series or any
subsequently created series of bonds, to amend the Mortgage in order to except from the lien of the Mortgage allowances
allocated to steam-electric generating plants owned by us, or in which we have interests, pursuant to Title IV of the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990, as now in effect or as hereafter supplemented or amended.
The Mortgage contains provisions subjecting after-acquired property to the mortgage lien thereof. These provisions
may be limited, at our option, in the case of consolidation or merger (whether or not we are the surviving corporation),
conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the utility property of another electric utility company to us or sale of
substantially all of our assets. (Section 18.03) In addition, after-acquired property may be subject to a Class "A" Mortgage,
purchase money mortgages and other liens or defects in title.
The Mortgage provides that the Mortgage Trustee shall have a lien on the mortgaged property, prior to the holders of
bonds, for the payment of its reasonable compensation and expenses and for indemnity against certain liabilities.
(Section 19.09)
l:.\rtr'2|tr 1'1' {:, 4
Issuance of Additional Bonds
The maximum principal amount of bonds that may be issued under the Mortgage is unlimited. Bonds of any series
may be issued from time to time on the basis of:
(1) 70% of qualified Property Additions after adjustments to offset retirements;
(2) Class "A" Bonds (which need not bear interest) delivered to the Mortgage Trustee;
(3) retirement of bonds or certain prior lien bonds; and/or
(4) deposits ofcash.
With certain exceptions in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, the issuance of bonds is subject to our Adjusted Net
Eamings for l2 consecutive months out of the preceding l5 months, before interest expense and income taxes, being at least
twice the Annual Interest Requirements on all outstanding bonds issued under the Mortgage, all outstanding Class "A" Bonds
held other than by the Mortgage Trustee or by us, all other indebtedness secured by a lien prior to the lien of the Mortgage and
all bonds then applied for in pending bond issuance applications under the Mortgage. In general, interest on variable interest
bonds, if any, is calculated using the rate then in effect. (Section 1.07 and Articles IV through VII)
Property Additions generally include electric, gas, steam and/or hot water utility property but not fuel, securities,
automobiles, other vehicles or aircraft, or property used principally for the production or gathering ofnatural gas.
(Section 1.04)
The issuance of bonds on the basis of Property Additions subject to prior liens is restricted. Bonds may, however, be
issued against the deposit of Class "A" Bonds. (Sections 1.04 through 1.06 and Articles IV and V)
Release and Substitution of Property
Properly subject to the Mortgage may be released on the basis of:
(1) the release of that property from a Class "A" Mortgage;
(2) the deposit of cash or, to a limited extent, purchase money mortgages;
(3) Property Additions, after making adjustments for certain prior lien bonds outstanding against Property Additions;
and/or
(4) a waiver of the right to issue bonds on the basis of the released property.
Funded Cash, as defined in Section 1.05 of the Mortgage, may be withdrawn upon the bases stated in (l ), (3) and
(4) above. Property that does not constitute Funded Property, as defined in Section 1.05 of the Mortgage, may be released
without substituting other Funded Property. Similar provisions are in effect as to cash proceeds from such property. The
Mortgage contains special provisions with respect to certain prior lien bonds deposited and disposition of moneys received on
deposited prior lien bonds. (Sections 1.05, 7.02,9.05,10.01 through 10.04 and 13.03 through 13.09)
Merger or Consolidation
The Mortgage provides that in the event of the merger or consolidation of another company with or into us or the
conveyance or transfer to us by another company of all or substantially all of that company's property that is of the same
character as Property Additions, as defined in the Mortgage, an existing mortgage constituting a first lien on operating
properties of that other company may be designated by us as a Class "A" Mortgage. (Section I1.06) Bonds thereafter issued
pursuant to the additional mortgage would be Class "A" Bonds and could provide the basis for the issuance of bonds under the
Mortgage.
,; : :."'v;tr 1 1, :Ttr" tr" T :
Certain Covenants
The Mortgage contains a number of covenants by us for the benefit of the holders of the bonds, including provisions
requiring us to maintain the mortgaged property as an operating system or systems capable of engaging in all or any of the
generating, transmission, distribution or other utility businesses described in the Mortgage. (Article D()
Dividend Restrictions
The Mortgage provides that we may not declare or pay dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of our
common stock) on any shares of our common stock if, after giving effect to the declaration or payment, we would not be able
to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course ofbusiness. (Section 9.07) The notes to our audited consolidated
financial statements included in our Report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference herein contain information relating to
other restrictions.
Foreign Currency Denominated Bonds
The Mortgage authorizes the issuance of bonds denominated in foreign currencies, provided that we deposit with the
Mortgage Trustee a currency exchange agreement with an entity having, at the time of the deposit, a financial rating at least as
high as our financial rating that, in the opinion ofan independent expert, gives us at least as much protection against cwrency
exchange fluctuation as is usually obtained by similarly situated borrowers. (Section 2.03) We believe that this type of currency
exchange agreement will provide effective protection against currency exchange fluctuations. However, if the other party to the
exchange agreement defaults and the foreign currency is valued higher at the date of maturity than at the date of issuance of the
relevant bonds, holders ofthose bonds would have a claim on our assets that is greater than the claim to which holders of
dollar-denominated bonds issued at the same time would be entitled.
The Mortgage Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. or its affiliates may act as a lender, trustee or agent under other
agreements and indentures involving us and our affiliates.
Modification
The rights of bondholders may be modified with the consent of holders of at least 60%o of the bonds, or, if not all series
ofbonds are adversely affected, the consent ofthe holders ofat least 60Yo ofthe series ofbonds adversely affected. In general,
no modification of the terms of payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and no modification affecting the lien or
reducing the percentage required for modification is effective against any bondholder without the consent ofthe holder.
(Section 21.07)
Unless we are in default in the payment of the interest on any bonds then Outstanding under the Mortgage or there is a
Default under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Trustee generally is required to vote Class "A" Bonds held by it with respect to any
amendment of the applicable Class "A" Mortgage proportionately with the vote of the holders of all Class "A" Bonds then
actually voting. (Section 11.03)
Defaults and Notice Thereof
"Defaults" are defined in the Mortgage as:
(l) default in payment of principal;
(2) default for 60 days in payment of interest or an installment of any fund required to be applied to the purchase or
redemption of any bonds;
(3) default in payment of principal or interest with respect to certain prior lien bonds;
(4) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;
(5) default in other covenants for 90 days after notice; or
,,:.h111{31.T'L
(6) the existence of any default under a Class "A" Mortgage that permits the declaration of the principal of all the bonds
secured by the Class "A" Mortgage and the interest accrued thereupon due and payable. (Section 15.01)
An effective default under any Class "A" Mortgage or under the Mortgage will result in an effective default under all
those mortgages. The Mortgage Trustee may withhold notice of default (except in payment of principal, interest or funds for
retirement of bonds) if it determines that it is not detrimental to the interests of the bondholders. (Section 15.02)
The Mortgage Trustee or the holders of 25%o of the bonds may declare the principal and interest due and payable on Default, but
a majority may annul the declaration if the Default has been cured. (Section 15.03) No holder of bonds may enforce the lien of
the Mortgage unless the Mortgage Trustee is given written notice of a Default and the Mortgage Trustee fails to act after the holders
of 25%o of the bonds have requested in writing the Mortgage Trustee to act, offered it reasonable opportunity to act and offered an
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred when enforcing the lien.
(Section 15.16) The holders of a majority of the bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for
any remedy available to the Mortgage Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Mortgage Trustee.
(Section 15.07) The Mortgage Trustee is not required to risk its funds or incur personal liability if there is reasonable ground for
believing that repayment is not reasonably assured. (Section 19.08)
Defeasance
Under the terms of the Mortgage, we will be discharged from any and all obligations under the Mortgage in respect of
the bonds of any series if we deposit with the Mortgage Trustee, in trust, moneys or government obligations, in an amount
sufficient to pay all the principal of premium (if any) and interest on, the bonds of those series or portions thereof on the
redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be. The Mortgage Trustee need not accept the deposit unless it is
accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that (a) we have received from, or there has been published by, the Intemal
Revenue Service a ruling or, (b) since the date of the Mortgageo there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon the opinion ofcounsel shall confirm that, the holders ofthe bonds orthe right of
payment of interest thereon (as the case may be) will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of the deposit, and/or ensuing discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if the deposit and/or discharge had not occurred. (Section 20.02)
Upon the deposit, our obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on those bonds shall cease,
terminate and be completely discharged and the holders of such bonds shall thereafter be entitled to receive payment solely
from the funds deposited. (Section 20.02)
BOOK.ENTRY, DELTVERY AND FORM
Unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, the Additional Bonds initially will be issued in book-entry
form and represented by one or more global bonds without interest coupons. The global bonds will be deposited with, or on
behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing Additional Bonds under the
limited circumstances described below, a global bond may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee
or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the
successor depositary.
DTC has advised us that it is:
a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;
a "banking organization" within the meaning ofthe New York Banking Law;
a member of the Federal Reserve System;
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section I 7A of the Exchange Act.
DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants
of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry
changes in participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. "Direct
participants" in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or
DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing
Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to
the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain
a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants
are on file with the SEC.
Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a
credit for the securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes
refer to as a beneficial owner, is in tum recorded on the direct and indirect participants' records. Beneficial owners of securities
will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect
participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be
accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances
described below.
To facilitate subsequent transferso all global bonds deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the
name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC. The deposit of global bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not
change the beneficial ownership ofthe global bonds. DTC has no knowledge ofthe actual beneficial owners ofthe global
bonds. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the global bonds are credited, which
may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of
their customers.
So long as the Additional Bonds are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer the Additional
Bonds only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an offrce or agency
in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable Additional Bonds, where notices and demands in
respect of the Additional Bonds and the Mortgage may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered
for payment registration oftransfer or exchange.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect
participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be govemed by arrangements among
them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Additional Bonds of a particular series are being
redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the Additional Bonds of
such series to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Additional Bonds.
Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy
assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the Additional Bonds of
such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
So long as Additional Bonds are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those Additional Bonds to the
depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such Additional Bonds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If
Additional Bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the
option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank
accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated par|u at least l5 days before the
applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee.or
other designated party.
Redemption proceeds on the Additional Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit direct participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt
of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown
on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name." Those
payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in
effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an
L:.12"'z llZ:Ll'tr' T:,
authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of
DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
Neither we, the Mortgage Trustee nor any agent of ours or of the Mortgage Trustee has or will have any responsibility
or liability for:
(l) any aspect of DTC's records or any participant's or indirect participant's records relating to, or payments made
on aacount of, beneficial ownership interests in the Additional Bonds or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of
DTC's records or any participanfs or indirect participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the
Additional Bonds; or
(2)any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants.
Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers ofAdditional Bonds will not be entitled to have
such Additional Bonds registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of such Additional Bonds. Accordingly,
each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the Additional
Bonds and the Mortgage.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in
definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the Additional Bonds.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the Additional Bonds at any time
by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained,
certificates representing the Additional Bonds are required to be printed and delivered.
As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series ofAdditional Bonds generally will not receive certificates
representing their ownership interests in those Additional Bonds. However, if:
DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities
representing such series ofAdditional Bonds or ifDTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within
90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC's ceasing to be so registered, as the case
may be;
we determine, in our sole discretion and subject to DTC's procedures, not to have such Additional Bonds
represented by one or more global securities; or
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series ofAdditional Bonds,
we will prepare and deliver certificates for such Additional Bonds in exchange for beneficial interests in the global bonds. Any
beneficial interest in a global bond that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be
exchangeable for Additional Bonds in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is
expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to
ownership of beneficial interests in the global bonds.
We have obtained the information in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry
system from sources that are believed to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
PLAN OFDISTRIBUTION
We may sell the Securities through underwriters, dealers or agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The
prospectus supplement with respect to the Securities being offered will set forth the specific terms of the offering of those
Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of those Securities and the
proceeds to us from the sale, any underwriting discounts, agency fees and other items constituting underwriters' or agents'
compensation, any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If we use underwriters to sell Securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Those
Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more
transactions, at a fixed public offering price, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
tr:,5.T11*1'T T:.
market prices or at negotiated prices. The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a particular underwritten offering of
Securities will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the
managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement. Any underwriting
compensation paid by us to the underwriters or agents in connection with an offering ofSecurities, and any discounts,
concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the
extent required by applicable law. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters
to purchase the Securities will be subject to specific conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all ofthe
offered Securities ifany are purchased.
If a dealer is used in the sale of any Securities, we will sell those Securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may
then resell the Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of any
dealer involved in a particular offering ofSecurities and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to the dealer
will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
The Securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. We will describe the
terms of any direct sales in a prospectus supplement. Any agent, who may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is
defined in the Securities Act, involved in the offer or sale of any of the Securities will be named, and any commissions payable
by us to the agent will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement relating to that offer or sale. Unless otherwise indicated in the
prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
In connection with a particular underwritten offering of Securities, and in compliance with applicable law, the
underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the prices of the classes or series of
Securities offered, including stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions. These activities may stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail
in the open market, and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. A description of these activities, if any, will be set
forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering.
Underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform
services for us and our afiiliates in the ordinary course ofbusiness.
We will indicate in a prospectus supplement the extent to which we anticipate that a secondary market for the
Securities will be available. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the
listing ofany series ofthe Securities on a national securities exchange. Ifthe Securities ofany series are sold to or through
underwriters, the underwriters may make a market in such Securities, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. No
underwriter would be obligated, however, to make a market in the Securities, and any market-making could be discontinued at
any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading markets
for, the Securities ofany series.
Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of those
Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under, the Securities Act. Subject to some conditions,
we may agree to indemniff the several underwriters, dealers or agents and their controlling persons against specific civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Ac! or to contribute to payments that person may be required to make in
respect thereof.
During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required
to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any
affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distributing from bidding for or purchasing,
or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject ofthe distribution until the entire
distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in
connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.

The consolidated financial statements incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from PacifiCorp's Annual Report on
Form l0-K for the year ended December 31, 2012have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLR an independent registered
public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial
statements have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report ofsuch firm given upon their authority as experts in
accounting and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited interim consolidated financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012,
June 30,2013 and 2012and September 30,2013 and2012, which is incorporated herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLR
an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their
reports included in PacifiCorp's Quarterly Reports on Form l0-Q forthe quarters ended March 31,2013, June 30,2013 and
September 30,2013 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim
consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted
in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions
ofSection ll ofthe Securities Act for their reports on the unaudited interim consolidated financial information because those
reports are not "reports" or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of
Sections 7 and l1 of the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company's directors
and officers pursuant to the following provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, although the validity and
scope of the governing statute have not been tested in court, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification may be limited by state
securities laws.
The Company's Third Restated Articles of Incorporation ("Restated Articles"), and Bylaws, as amended ("Bylaws"),
require the Company to indemnifo directors and ofiicers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The right to and amount of
indemnification ultimately will be subject to determination by a court that indemnification in the circumstances presented is
consistent with public policy considerations and other provisions of law. It is likely, however, that the Restated Articles would
require indemnification at least to the extent that indemnification is authorized by the Oregon Business Corporation Act
(*OBCA"). The effect of the OBCA is summarized as follows:
(a) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of indemnification in respect of any pending, threatened or
completed action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right ofthe Company, against expenses (including
attomeys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, provided the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in connection with a proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on
the basis that personal benefit was improperly received unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances. The termination of a
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative
that the person did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.
(b) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of indemnification in respect of any proceeding by or in the
right ofthe Company against the reasonable expenses (including attorneys'fees) incurred, ifthe person concemed acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests ofthe Company, except
that no indemnification may be granted if that person is adjudged to be liable to the Company unless permitted by a court.
Ti,\1.lzlTltll" 1::.
II- I
(c) Under the OBCA, the Company may not indemnifu a person in respect of a proceeding described in (a) or (b)
above unless one of the following determines that indemnification is permissible because the person has met the prescribed
standard ofconduct:
(l) the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not
at the time parties to the proceeding;
(2) if a quorum of directors not parties to the proceeding cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of
two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;
(3) by special legal counsel selected by the Board orthe committee thereof, as described in (l) and (2) above;
(4) ifspecial legal counsel cannot be selected as described in (3) above, then by special legal counsel selected by
majority vote of the full Board, including directors who are parties to the proceeding; or
(5) by the shareholders.
Authorization of the indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses are to be determined as specified in
any one of (1) through (5) above, except that if the determination of that indemnification's permissibility is made by special
legal counsel, then the determination ofthe reasonableness ofthose expenses is to be made by those entitled to select special
legal counsel. Indemnification can also be ordered by a court if the court determines that indemnification is fair in view of all of
the relevant circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in defense of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to be indemnified as a matter of right against
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
(d) Under the OBCA, the Company may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred in defending a
proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof if the director or officer receiving the advance furnishes (i) a written
affirmation of the director's or officer's good faith belief that he or she has met the prescribed standard of conduct and (ii) a
written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that that person did not meet the standard of conduct.
The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which
officers or directors may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders, action of directors or otherwise.
Resolutions adopted by the Board require the Company to indemnifu directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by law and are intended to create an obligation to indemnifr to the fullest extent a court may find to be consistent
with public policy considerations.
In addition, under the form of underwriting agreement that the Company expects to enter into in connection with any
issuance of the Securities, in certain circumstances, the underwriters will agree to indemnifo the Company against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

for liability purposes ofthe issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall
be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the regishant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering ofsecurities ofthe undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned registrant relating to the offering

not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement
(i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such
action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifring party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permiued by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault ofthe Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) from the offering ofthe Offered Securities received by the Company bear
to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Offered Securities from the Company
under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified parfy as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in the first sentence ofthis subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1 1(f) of the
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters'
obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and notjoint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this
Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act.
8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters defaults in its or their obligations to purchase the
Offered Securities hereunder and the aggegate principal amount of the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Securities, the non-
defaulting Underwriters may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company forthe purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons, including themselves, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall
be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so defaults and the
aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total
principal amount of the Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company
for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company, except as provided in Section 9. As
used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing
herein, including the Company's obligations pursuant to Section t hereof, will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for
its default.

9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligatiors. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company or its offtcers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by
or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling
person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8
or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated other than such default by an
Underwriter, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the
respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the
Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not oonsummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 6(c), the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements ofcounsel) reasonably
incurred by them in connection with the offering ofthe Offered Securities, provided that the Company shall not be obligated under
this Section 9 to reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses (including any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in
excess of$[ ].

other, exists in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or
otherwise, to the Company in connection with the offering ofthe Offered Securities and such relationship between the Company,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii)
any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities
shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates
may have interests that differ from those of the Company. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions
contemplated hereby or other matters related to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and

EXHIBITA
Form of Opinion of [ ], General Counsel ofthe Company
1 . To my knowledge and except for the matters disclosed in the Disclosure Package, there is no legal or governmental action,
suit or proceeding before any court, governmental agency, body or authority, domestic or foreign, now pending or threatened
against or involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company that, if determined adversely to the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the
business, affairs, property or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect
on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage or the Bonds.
2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage and the issuance and sale of
the Bonds and the use of proceeds of the Bonds as designated in the Prospectus do not and will not (A) conflict with the Articles
of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, (B) to my knowledge, conflict with, result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or other encumbrance, other than the Mortgage, upon any asset of the Company pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a
breach of, or default under, any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Company is a party, or by which the Company
is bound or to which any of its properties are subject or (C) to my knowledge, result in a violation of any statute, rule or regulation,
or any order, judgment or decree known to me of any court or govemmental agency, body or authority having jurisdiction over
the Company or any of its properties, where any such conflict, encumbrance, breach, default or violation under clause (B) or (C)
is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, affairs, property or financial
condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
3. To my knowledge, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required
under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act or state securities or blue sky laws or as may be required by applicable state
public utility commissions and under the Federal Power Act, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration by the
Company with, any court, govemmental agency orthird party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
and therein, and the issuance, distribution and sale ofthe Bonds as contemplated therein, in each case where the effect ofthe failure
to obtain such approval, authorization, consent or ordeq or make such filing, is material to the Company.
4. The Company has good and sufficient title to the Properties subject to the Mortgage, which include substantially all of
the permanent physical properties and franchises ofthe Company (other than those expressly excepted), subject only to Excepted
Encumbrances and defects and irregularities customarily found in properties of like size and character that, in my opinion, do not
materially impair the use of the property affected thereby in the operation of the business of the Company; the descriptions in the
Mortgage of such ofthe Properties as are described therein are adequate to constitute the Mortgage as a lien thereon; the Mortgage
constitutes a valid lien on the Properties and, to the best ofmy knowledge, there is no lien on the Properties prior or equal to the
lien of the Mortgage, other than the exceptions enumerated above in this paragraph 4.
EXHIBITB

2. Based solely on the certificates attached as Schedule B, the Company is qualified to transact business as a foreign
corporation in [Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington and Wyoming].
3. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental
Indenture, to issue the Bonds and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.
4. Each ofthe UnderwritingAgreement and the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
5. The Mortgage constitutes the valid and binding obligation ofthe Company, enforceable againstthe Company in accordance
with its terms.
6. The Mortgage has been duly qualified under the Trust lndenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

sale pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage, have been duly executed and, when authenticated by the Trustee
in the manner provided in the Mortgage and delivered against payment ofthe purchase price therefore pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their terms, and entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage.
8. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions "Description of the Bonds" and
"Description of Additional Bonds" insofar as they purport to summarize the provisions of the Mortgage and the Bonds, fairly
summarize such provisions in all material respects. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the
caption "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations," insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of United
States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly summarize the matters described
therein in all material respects.
9. No approval, authorization, consent or order of, or filing with any governmental or regulatory body or agency is required
in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds by the Company, the consummation by the Company of the transactions

Bonds pursuant to Order No. 31018; and, together with certain exemptive orders that have been issued by each of the Public
Utilities Commission of the State of Califomia, the Public Service Commission of Utah and the Public Service Commission of
Wyoming (which to our knowledge remain in full force and effect on the date of this letter), such orders and notices constitute the
only approval, authorization, consent or other order of, or notification to, any govemmental body legally required in connection
with the regulation ofthe Company as a public utility for the authorization of the issuance of the Bonds by the Company pursuant
to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
1 l. The Registration Statement was declared immediately effective under the Securities Act on [ ]; the Prospectus was filed

appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to the financial statements, schedules,
other financial data, or exhibits included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statements, the
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or Regulation S-T.
13. We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives ofthe Company, you and your representatives
and representatives ofthe independent auditors ofthe Company at which the contents ofthe Disclosure Package and the Prospectus
(and portions of certain documents incorporated by reference therein) and any amendments or supplements thereto were discussed.
Although we assume no responsibility for the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements (except with respect
to paragraph (8) in the "Opinionso'portion of this letter, subject to the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications set forth in this
opinion) made in (a) the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, (b) the Disclosure Package or any amendment or
supplement thereto, (c) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (d) the documents incorporated by reference

became effective contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a
regisffation statement on Form S-3 (333- ) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Rules"), for the registration of the sale by the Company of debt securities of the
Company in the form of First Mortgage Bonds (the "Securities").
We understand that the Securities will be sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement,
the applicable prospectus contained therein (the "Prospectus") and supplements to the Prospectus (the "Prospectus
Supplements"). The Securities will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of
January 9,1989, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the "Trustee"), as successor
trustee, as amended and supplemented (the "Mortgage"). The Mortgage is in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
In our capacity as counsel to the Company we have examined (a) the Registration Statement, (b) the Mortgage and (c)
the originals, or copies identified to our satisfaction, ofsuch corporate records ofthe Company, certificates ofpublic officials,
officers of the Company and other persons, and such other documents, agreements and instruments as we have deemed
necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

regarding the creation, authentication and delivery of any supplemental indenture to the Mortgage, (c) a Prospectus Supplement
shall have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered thereby, (d) all Securities shall be
issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and in the manner stated in the
Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement and (e) the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company and the Trustee.
Based on and subject to the foregoing and the other assumptions, exclusions and qualifications in this Ietter, we are of
the opinion that when (a) the Securities have been duly authorized, (b) the final terms ofthe Securities have been duly
established and approved, and (c) the Securities have been duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in
accordance with the Mortgage and delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof as contemplated by the Registration
Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement, the Securities will constitute binding obligations of the Company.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following exclusions and qualifications:
a. Our opinions are as of the date hereof and we have no responsibility to update this opinion for
events and circumstances occurring after the date hereofor as to facts relating to prior events that are subsequently brought to
our attention. We disavow any undertaking to advise you of any changes in law.

obligation is subject to and limited by (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship,
