INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees of
PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental
schedules, listed in the Table of Contents, are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The schedules have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1997 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic 1997 financial statements taken as a
whole.

PACIFICORP K PLUS EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
______________________________________________________________________________
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Savings
Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
information.
GENERAL - Effective January 1, 1988, PacifiCorp (the "Company") and most
of its subsidiaries ("Employers") adopted the Plan. The Plan is a
tax-qualified employee savings plan covering all employees of the
Employers, except employees identified as "casual employees" within the
Employers' payroll systems, employees covered by a collective bargaining
agreement that does not provide for participation in the Plan, leased
employees, and temporary employees. Qualified employees of the Employers
become eligible to participate after completing one month of service as
defined in the Plan document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants may elect to contribute a
percentage of their pre-tax annual compensation as defined in the Plan
("Pre-Tax Contributions"). Different percentages can apply to separate
Employers, but in no event will the percentage be more than 16% of
eligible compensation, or 14% for participants eligible to participate in
the PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
Each Employer makes a matching contribution each year for each
participant ("Matching Contribution"). The Matching Contribution is a
percentage of the participant's Pre-Tax Contribution for the year, up to
6% of the participant's compensation for the year. The Matching
Contribution percentage is 50% or a percentage fixed in the Employer's
adoption statement or by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Employer and announced to participants, or pursuant to a collective
bargaining agreement. Other than for employees covered by certain
collective bargaining agreements, the Matching Contribution is made to
the PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
VESTING - Pre-Tax Contributions are fully vested at all times. Matching
Contributions are vested based on years of service as follows:
YEARS OF SERVICE PERCENT VESTED
________________ ______________
Less than 1 0%
1 20%
2 40%
3 60%
4 80%
5 or more 100%
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with
Pre-Tax Contributions, Matching Contributions, where applicable, and an
allocation of the Plan's net earnings or losses. Pre-Tax Contributions
are credited based on the participant's election, Matching Contributions
are credited
5
according to the formula defined in the Plan document, and Plan earnings
are allocated based on participant account balances.
PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS - Vested benefits are payable in a lump sum upon
retirement, termination, death or disability. If the participant's
account balance exceeds $3,500, the participant may defer payment, or
upon retirement, elect installment payments over a specified period of
time not exceeding 15 years from the date of commencement of benefits.
The Plan also provides for withdrawals due to financial hardship.
PARTICIPANT LOANS - Participants may borrow from their account balance a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 100%
of their account balance under the Plan. Loan terms range from 1 to 5
years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence, except
for some loans which are transferred in from other plans which keep the
existing terms. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate with local
prevailing rates and are secured by the balance in the participant's
account and an assignment of current pay of the participant sufficient to
service the loan.
PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intentions to do so,
the Company may wholly or partially terminate the Plan or direct the
discontinuance of contributions at any time, subject to the provisions of
ERISA.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
under the accrual method of accounting.
INVESTMENT VALUATION - The investment in PacifiCorp common stock is
stated at fair value based on published market quotations at year end.
The per share market values of the PacifiCorp common stock at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $27.313 and $20.500, respectively. The
Plan's investments in guaranteed investment contracts are stated at
contract value which represents contributions made under the contract,
plus earnings, less withdrawals. Plan management believes that the
contract value approximates fair value for the guaranteed investment
contracts. The average yield to maturity of the guaranteed investment
contracts was 6.39% at December 31, 1997 and 6.14% at December 31, 1996.
There were no valuation reserves at December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value based on quoted
market prices. Temporary cash investments and participant loans are
stated at cost which approximates fair value.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment transactions
are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold
(trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
TAX STATUS - The Plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan in accordance
with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and related provisions. The Plan includes elective contribution
provisions designed to qualify under Code Section 401(k) and related
provisions. The Company has received a determination letter dated
June 23, 1993 in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan,
as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
letter. However, Plan management believes that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has
been included in the Plan's financial statements.
6
BENEFITS PAYABLE - As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, net assets available
for benefits included benefits of approximately $74,000,000 and $45,000,
respectively, due to participants who have withdrawn from participation
in the Plan.
On December 31, 1997, Pacific Telecom, Inc. ("PTI") active employees
ceased participation in the Plan as a result of the sale of PTI, a
subsidiary of PacifiCorp, to Century Telephone Enterprises, Inc.
("Century") effective November 30, 1997. These participants' balances
totaling approximately $74,000,000 were transferred to a similar plan
sponsored by Century.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - The Plan provides that each employer may pay
administrative costs and expenses of the Plan; those costs not paid by
each employer are paid from Plan assets.
PARTICIPANT LOANS - Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between
the investment funds and the Participant Loan Fund.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of increases and decreases to net assets during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. INVESTMENT PROGRAMS AND BY FUND INFORMATION
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct participant
contributions in any of the following funds:
A. The Equity Fund, which consists primarily of equity investments.
B. The Balanced Fund, which consists primarily of equity investments
and bonds.
C. The Bond Fund, which consists primarily of mortgage-backed
securities, U.S. treasury bonds, and corporate bonds.
D. The Stable Asset Fund, which consists primarily of guaranteed
insurance contracts.
E. The PacifiCorp Stock Fund, which consists of PacifiCorp common
stock.
F. The Money Market Fund, which consists solely of U.S. treasury

G. The Aggressive Equity Fund, which consists of equity instruments of
smaller and medium sized companies.
H. The International Equity Fund, which consists of equity instruments
of non-U.S. companies.
I. The Life Path Funds, which consist of various proportions of equity
instruments and fixed income and debt instruments. There are five
Life Path Funds from which the participant may choose.
The participant loan fund is used to account for loans to participants.

Effective December 31, 1996, the Centralia Mining Company Thrift Plan was
merged into the Plan. As a result of the merger, the net assets available
for benefits of the Centralia Mining Company Thrift Plan were transferred
into the Plan on that date. The assets transferred consisted of
$20,376,281 in cash, 241,253 shares of PacifiCorp common stock valued at
$4,945,687 at December 31, 1996 and participant loan investments totaling
$754,612. Participants of the Centralia Mining Company Thrift Plan became
participants of the Plan effective January 1, 1997.
10
Effective July 1, 1997, the Utah Power & Light Company Savings and Stock
Purchase Plan of PacifiCorp ("UP&L Plan") was merged into the Plan. As a
result of the merger, the net assets available for benefits of the UP&L
Plan were transferred into the Plan on that date. The assets transferred
consisted of $29,564 in cash, 5,951,200 shares of PacifiCorp common stock
valued at $131,298,350 at July 1, 1997, participant loan investment
balances totaling $6,662,667, equity funds totaling $12,072,786, balanced
funds totaling $1,189,797, and stable asset funds totaling $5,712,833.
Participants of the UP&L Plan became participants of the Plan as of
July 1, 1997.
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The Plan's assets consist primarily of financial instruments including
temporary cash investments, investment contracts, PacifiCorp common
stock, mutual funds, and participant loans. These financial instruments
may subject the Plan to concentrations of risk, as from time to time,
cash balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, market value of securities are dependent on the ability of
the issuers to honor contractual commitments, and investments in common
stock are subject to changes in market values of the stock.
