                               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.
Portland General Corporation (Portland General) Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the 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 (the Plan) of Portland General Corporation as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of income and changes in
participants' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993.  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, 1993 and 1992, and the income and
changes in participants' equity for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
