Portland General Electric Company (70-10250)

Portland General Electric Company (“Portland General”), 121 SW Salmon Street, Portland, Oregon 97204, a wholly owned electric utility company subsidiary of Enron Corp. (“Enron”), a registered holding company, has filed an application under sections 9(a)(1) and 10 of the Act.

Portland General proposes to purchase (“Purchase”) the coal handling facility (“Facility”) located at its Boardman Coal Plant (“Boardman Plant”) in eastern Oregon. Portland General, an Oregon corporation, is an integrated electric utility engaged in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution, and retail sale of electricity in the State of Oregon. Portland General also sells electricity and natural gas in the wholesale market to utilities and power marketers located throughout the western United States. Portland General's service area is located entirely within Oregon and includes 51 incorporated cities, of which Portland and Salem are the largest, within a state-approved service area allocation of approximately 4,000 square miles. Portland General estimates that at the end of 2003 its service area population was approximately 1.5 million, comprising about 43% of the state's population. At December 31, 2003, Portland General served approximately 754,000 retail customers. Portland General has approximately 26,085 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines and owns 1,957 MW of generating capacity. Portland General also has long-term power purchase contracts for 510 MW from four hydroelectric projects on the mid-Columbia River and power purchase contracts of one to twenty-six years for another 740 MW from Bonneville Power Administration, other Pacific Northwest utilities, and certain Native American tribes. As of December 31, 2003, Portland General's total firm resource capacity, including short-term purchase agreements, was approximately 3,883 MW (net of short-term sales agreements of 3,910 MW). Portland General's peak load in 2003 was 3,351 MW.

Portland General is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and it files annual, quarterly and periodic reports with the Commission. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, Portland General and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis had operating revenues of $1,752 million, net income of $58 million, retained earnings of $545 million, and assets of $3,372 million.

Portland General is regulated by the Oregon Public Utility Commission (“OPUC”) with regard to its rates, terms of service, financings, affiliate transactions and other aspects of its business. Additionally, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates the company's activities in the interstate wholesale power markets.

The Boardman Plant is a coal-fueled plant located in Boardman, Oregon with capacity of 600 MW. Portland General owns a 65% undivided interest in the Boardman Plant and is the operator of the plant. The remaining 35% is owned by Idaho Power Company, Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative, and General Electric Credit Corporation through Bank of New York (the successor to J Henry Schroeder Bank & Trust Company) (collectively, “Boardman Plant Co-Owners”), none of whom are affiliated with Portland General.

Portland General requests authority to acquire the Facility, consisting of the machinery, equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, fixtures, tangible personal property and other property, real and personal, constructed and installed for the unloading, transfer, storage, handling and crushing of coal for the Boardman Plant. Currently, Portland General is the sole lessee of the Facility under a lease agreement (“Lease Agreement”) under a leverage financing transaction (“Financing Transaction”) entered into in 1979. The Facility is owned by a trust (“Trust”), the trustee of which is Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Owner-Trustee”) and the beneficiary of which is ICON/Boardman Facility LLC (“Owner Participant”), a participant in the Financing Transaction. Under the Lease Agreement, Portland General is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Facility.

In January 2004, Portland General extended the Lease Agreement through 2010. More recently, the company and Owner Participant negotiated a purchase price for the Facility, assuming that the transaction closes by October 29, 2004. The purchase price would be between $20 million and $35 million. If the closing is delayed but takes place on or before November 30, 2004, the purchase price will be increased for each day after October 29, 2004 that closing is delayed based on the 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined two days before the closing. The closing may be delayed beyond November 30, 2004 only upon mutual agreement, including agreement on a new purchase price. The funds to be used to purchase the Facility would come from Portland General's internally generated cash.

There are no fees, commissions or other remuneration to be paid by Portland General to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or any other party in connection with the purchase of the Facility. The Owner Participant is responsible for all of its costs and expenses related to the purchase of the Facility and the termination of the Financing Transaction. Portland General would pay the usual and customary costs and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the indenture trustee and the loan participant, the other parties to the Financing Transaction, incurred by them in connection with termination of the Financing Transaction.

Following the Purchase, Portland General would continue to operate and maintain the Facility for the benefit of the Boardman Plant Co-Owners, and the Boardman Plant Co-Owners would continue to pay their pro-rata share of current rate (2004 calendar year) lease rental.
