Item 5. Other Events
On September 11, 1996 parties participating in the initial settlement hearing of
the Portland General Electric Company (PGE) rate proposal agreed to postpone
further settlement discussions until early November. The postponement was
requested by representatives of PGE's large industrial customers to allow for
additional time for review and analysis of both PGE's August 6, 1996 proposal
and the Oregon Public Utility Commission's (OPUC) staff's September 6, 1996
response (for additional information see Portland General Corporation's and
PGE's reports on Form 8-K dated September 6, 1996). If the parties do not
reach a settlement, PGE could be required to file a general rate case in
early 1997.
