To   Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
     Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

     It has come to our attention that some brokers, financial consultants and
other account officers are unaware that PacifiCorp will pay solicitation fees to
designated soliciting dealers in respect of the above-referenced solicitation.
Please make sure that all appropriate parties within your organization are aware
that such solicitation fees are available.

     Specifically, for all series of Preferred Stock (except the $1.16, $1.18
and $1.28 Series), PacifiCorp will pay a solicitation fee of $1.00 per share for
each share voted for Item #1 by a beneficial owner holding 2,500 or fewer
shares, and a separate solicitation fee of $1.00 per share for each share voted
for Item #4 by a beneficial owner holding 2,500 or fewer shares.

     And, for the $1.16, $1.18 and $1.28 Series, PacifiCorp will pay a
solicitation fee of $0.25 per share for each share voted for Item #1 by a
beneficial owner holding 10,000 or fewer shares, and a separate solicitation fee
of $0.25 per share for each share voted for Item #4 by a beneficial owner
holding 10,000 or fewer shares.

     Payment of the solicitation fees is subject to certain terms and
conditions, including passage of the applicable item and, in the case of Item
#1, receipt of certain specified regulatory approvals.

     For a complete description of such fees, including the amount payable and
the terms and conditions under which such fees are payable, please refer to
pages 28 and 29 of PacifiCorp's Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated May 6, 1999,
and the cover letter from us also dated May 6, 1999, that came with the initial
distribution of materials.
