                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.

Portland General Corporation (Portland General) Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(Plan) was established to enable employees of Portland General and its 
affiliates to acquire an ownership interest in Portland General through 
purchase of its common stock.  Portland General acts as custodian for each
participant and pays all Plan expenses.  Portland General affiliates in turn
reimburse Portland General for costs incurred on behalf of their employees.  
The Plan is not subject to income taxes.  The Plan may be altered, amended, or
discontinued at any time by Portland General; however, each participant has the
rights of an owner of record in shares held by Portland General for the
participant's account.

Participants' contributions are made through payroll deductions within certain
limitations.  The price of the common stock to a participant is 90% of a five-
day average market price which is determined by dividing the sum of the closing
prices of Portland General stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last 
five business days ending on or before the 15th day of the month of the
allocation, by five.  Shares of common stock are purchased directly from 
Portland General.  The amount of Portland General contributions and dividends
received by the Plan are reported to participants on a current basis for income
tax purposes.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Portland General Corporation:

            We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition
of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Plan) of Portland General Corporation as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income and changes
in participants' equity for each of the three years in the period ended
December 
31, 1994.  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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan of Portland General Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
income and changes in participants' equity for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
