Exhibit 10 (i) (ii)

     In connection with the construction, ownership and operation
of the Jim Bridger plant located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming,
PacifiCorp and Idaho Power Company created a joint venture,
Bridger Coal Company, to own and operate the coal mine adjacent
to the Jim Bridger plant.  Recently, the Second Restated and
Amended Coal Sales Agreement dated March 7, 1988 ("Second
Restated Amendment"), among PacifiCorp, Idaho Power Company and
Bridger Coal Company, covering the delivery of coal from the Jim
Bridger Coal Mine to the Jim Bridger plant was amended with the
Third Restated and Amended Coal Sales Agreement dated January 1,
1996 ("Third Restated Agreement").  The Third Restated Agreement
incorporates previous amendments to the Second Restated Agreement
and some additional amendments.  Those amendments update price
components and related indices, make changes to reflect new
operational practices as a result of the installation of an
overland conveyor system by Bridger Coal Company, extend the term
of the Second Restated Agreement for an additional 10 years to
the year 2024, subject additional coal purchases by PacifiCorp
and Idaho Power Company from Bridger Coal Company to the terms
and conditions of the Third Restated Agreement except for price,
revise limitations on the maximum amount of coal which can be
delivered and replace price reviews with the then current cost of
coal study results.
