Item 5. Other Events
Regulatory Matters - On October 17, 1995 Portland General Electric
Company (PGE or the Company) and the Oregon Public Utility
Commission's (PUC) Staff agreed to jointly recommend to the PUC a
settlement on PGE's August 1995 consolidated filing. See Portland
General's and PGE's reports on form 8-K dated October 5, 1995 for
further information on PGE's consolidated filing.
The stipulation supports increasing Company annual revenues by $20
million or approximatly 2.0%. The increase includes an additional
$40 million for the Coyote Springs Generation Project (Coyote
Springs) and Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) price increases
offset by the cancellation of a current collection of deferred
power costs.
The agreement supports full recovery of $11 million of power costs
deferred from January through March 1995 . However, the stipulation
only supports recovery of $9 million of the $50 million of power
costs deferred from July 1993 through March 1994. Also included is
an agreement for immediate recovery of approximately $29 million in
incentive revenues associated with prior years' achievements of the
Company's energy efficiency programs. As a result of the
settlement, PGE will record a third quarter charge to income of
approximately $12 million, after tax.
Lastly, the stipulation supports the Company's proposal to offset
the uncollected balance of all power cost deferrals, incentive
revenues, certain other regulatory assets, and a portion of the
remaining Trojan investment, against PGE's unamortized gain on the
prior sale of a portion of the Boardman Coal Plant. If approved,
the offsets will allow for recovery of the deferred power costs and
incentive revenues discussed above, without increasing customer
rates as well as eliminate approximately $117 million of regulatory
assets and liabilities from the Company's Balance Sheets.
A PUC order on the regulatory proceeding is expected in early
November 1995 following public hearings.
