MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Portland General Electric Company (PGE or the Company), an electric utility
company and the principal operating subsidiary of Portland General
Corporation (Portland General), accounts for substantially all of Portland
General's assets, revenues and net income. The following discussion focuses
on utility operations, unless otherwise noted.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

Portland General earned $14 million or $0.28 per share for the third quarter
of 1995 compared to earnings of $12 million or $0.24 per share in 1994.
Earnings for the period include an after tax provision against earnings of
$13 million, related to unrecoverable deferred power costs. Excluding this
charge to income, earnings would have been $27 million. The quarters' strong
operating earnings reflect continued retail load growth as well as low
variable power costs driven by improved hydro conditions throughout the
western region and a competitive wholesale market.

Operating revenues increased $8 million or 4% for the quarter. Retail
revenues increased by $14 million, or 8%, due primarily to the company's
April 1995 general rate increase and increased retail energy sales. A
strong local
economy and continued increase in the number of retail customers contributed
to a 3% rise in retail energy sales. PGE is serving 13,600, or 2.2 %, more
retail customers than served in the same period last year with 2,580 new
retail customers added during this quarter. A $6 million wholesale, or 23%,
decline in wholesale revenues partially offset the increase in retail
revenues. Wholesale energy sales decreased 11% and average wholesale prices
decreased 13%. A competitive wholesale market coupled with the availability
of inexpensive power narrowed wholesale margins and decreased sales.

PGE took advantage of the competitive wholesale market and the availability
of inexpensive power and purchased 54% of its total system load compared to
48% last year. Increased low-cost energy purchases, good hydro generation
and low natural gas prices drove variable power costs down despite increased
total system load. The average cost of power decreased from 19.7 to 16.0
mills (10 mills = 1 cent) as variable power costs decreased $19 million, or
23% for the quarter (see table below).

Abundant supplies of energy drove secondary prices below 1994
levels. Spot market purchases averaged 11.4 mills, ranging from 6 to 20
mills, compared to an average 22.4 mills in 1994.

Hydro generation increased 14%, or 53,600 MWh, reflecting good water
conditions on the Clackamas River system. While thermal generation decreased
15%, lower gas prices allowed the Beaver Combustion Turbine Plant to generate
energy at 39% lower variable cost.

</TABLE>


Operating expenses (excluding variable power, depreciation and income
taxes) were comparable with 1994. Depreciation increased $2 million, or
7%, largely due to higher depreciation levels effective with the Company's
recent general rate increase in April 1995.

Income taxes included in Net Operating Income increased $14 million
primarily due to an increase in before
tax operating income.

PGE recorded a $13 million, after tax, provision against earnings as a
result of an
agreement with the Oregon Public Utility Commission's (PUC) Staff which
allows for only partial recovery of the Company's outstanding power cost
deferrals. For further information regarding this agreement see the Power
Cost Recovery and Coyote Springs Filing discussion in the Financial and
Operating Outlook section below.


1995 COMPARED TO 1994 FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

Portland General earned $45 million or $0.88 per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, compared to earnings of $75 million or $1.51 per
share in 1994. 1995 results include after tax charges to income of $37
million related to the PUC's rate order disallowing 13% of PGE's remaining
investment in Trojan and $13 million related to the Company's agreement
with PUC Staff allowing only partial recovery of the Company's deferred
power costs. 1994 earnings include $7 million, after tax, in previously
recorded
real estate reserves. Excluding these items, earnings would have been $94
million in 1995 and $69 million in 1994. Strong operating results reflect
improved hydro conditions, favorable secondary power costs and continued
retail load growth, partially offset by narrowing margins in a competitive
wholesale market.

Although operating revenues only increased $7 million, retail MWh sales
rose 3% and revenues increased by $23 million. Colder temperatures during
the early part of the year and an increase in retail customers contributed
to a higher level of energy sales. The increased sales combined with the
general rate increase boosted revenues from energy sales nearly 7%. Fewer
accrued revenues partially offset increases from energy sales. PGE
recorded $12 million in power cost deferrals in 1995 ($11 million in the
first quarter), compared with $19 million in 1994 ($18 million in the
first quarter).

PORTLAND GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


A decline in wholesale revenues of $18 million from 1994 levels also
partially offset the increase in retail revenues. Wholesale energy sales
declined 13% and prices averaged 13% lower. The Northwest region's
traditional price advantage over the Southwest eroded due to abundant
energy supplies and improved hydro conditions in California and made for a
more competitive wholesale marketplace.

Variable power costs decreased $50 million, or 20%, resulting from
increased hydro production and lower secondary prices.
PGE reduced thermal plant generation 30% to take advantage of favorable
secondary energy prices, decreasing average variable power costs from 19.1
to 16.0 mills (see table below).

PGE hydro generation increased 21%, or 307,704 MWh, reflecting improved
water conditions on the Clackamas River system. Spot market purchases
averaged 10.7 mills compared to 19.8 mills in 1994 due to the availability
of low-cost secondary power.

</TABLE>


The Company held operating expenses (excluding variable power,
depreciation and income taxes) at levels comparable to 1994. Depreciation
increased $7 million, or 8%, largely due to increased depreciation rates
effective with the Company's general rate increase in April 1995.

Income taxes increased $19 million, or 37%, due to an increase in before
tax operating income.

CASH FLOW

PORTLAND GENERAL CORPORATION

Portland General requires cash to pay dividends to its common
stockholders, to provide funds to its subsidiaries, to meet debt service
obligations and for day to day operations. Sources of cash are dividends
from PGE, leasing rentals, short- and intermediate-term borrowings and the
sale of its common stock.

5
PORTLAND GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Portland General received $11.5 million in dividends from PGE during the
third quarter of 1995 and $2.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of
shares of common stock under its Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash
Payment Plan.


PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY

CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS

Operations are the primary source of cash used for day to day operating
needs of PGE and funding of construction activities. PGE also obtains
cash from external borrowings, as needed.

A significant portion of cash from operations comes from depreciation and
amortization of utility plant, charges which are recovered in customer
revenues but require no current cash outlay. Changes in accounts
receivable and accounts payable can also be significant contributors or
users of cash. Improved cash flow for the current year reflects the
Company's general price increase and lower variable power costs. 1994
third quarter cash flows were also affected by a $20 million prepayment to
the IRS related to the 1985 tax deduction discussed below.

Portland General has reached a tentative settlement with the IRS regarding
the Washington Public Power Supply System Unit 3 (WNP-3) abandonment loss
deduction on its 1985 tax return. Portland General does not expect future
cash requirements to be materially affected by the resolution of this
matter (see Note 3, Income Taxes, for further information).

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

PGE invests in facilities for generation, transmission and distribution of
electric energy and products and services for energy efficiency.
Estimated capital expenditures for 1995 are expected to be $225 million.
Approximately $160 million has been expended for capital projects,
including energy efficiency, through September 30, 1995.

PGE funds an external trust for the Trojan decommissioning costs. The
April 1995 general rate order authorized PGE to increase its collections
from customers and its corresponding contribution to the trust from $11
million to $14 million annually. The trust invests in
investment-grade tax-exempt bonds. Total-to-date cash withdrawn from the
trust to pay for decommissioning costs is approximately $8 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the third quarter the Company used strong operating cash flows to
reduce short-term debt $26 million.

6
PORTLAND GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


In early October 1995, PGE issued $75 million in 8.25% Quarterly Income
Debt Securities (QUIDS) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
maturing on December 31, 2035. The proceeds will be used to redeem the
balance of outstanding shares of the 8.20%, 7.88% and 7.95% Preferred
stock series. PGE will redeem each of the preferred stock series at
$101.00 per share which including partial period dividends will require
funding of approximately $71 million. The redemption is scheduled for
early November 1995.

The issuance of additional preferred stock and First Mortgage Bonds
requires PGE to meet earnings coverage and security provisions set forth
in the Articles of Incorporation and Indenture securing its First Mortgage
Bonds. As of September 30, 1995, PGE could issue approximately $300
million of preferred stock and $350 million of additional First Mortgage
Bonds.

RETAIL CUSTOMER GROWTH AND ENERGY SALES

During the third quarter of 1995, 2,580 retail customers were added to PGE's
service territory. For the nine-months ended September 30, 1995,
approximately 8,500 retail customers were added.

Weather adjusted retail energy sales growth for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was approximately 2.7%. The Company expects annual 1995
weather-adjusted retail energy sales growth to be approximately 2.9%.

SEASONALITY

Due to seasonal fluctuations in electricity sales, as well as the price of
wholesale energy and fuel costs, quarterly operating earnings are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for calendar year 1995.

COMPETITION

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Energy Act) set the stage for federal and state
regulations directed toward the stimulation of both wholesale and retail
competition in the electric industry. The Energy Act eased restrictions on
independent power production, and bestowed authority on the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) to mandate open access for the wholesale
transmission of electricity.

7
PORTLAND GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FERC has since taken steps to provide a framework for increased competition in
the electric industry. In March 1995 it issued a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NOPR) regarding non-discriminatory open access transmission
requirements for all public utilities. The proposed rules address several
issues including stranded asset recovery and the open access transmission of
electricity. If adopted, the proposed open access transmission requirements
would give wholesale competitors access to PGE's transmission facilities and,
in turn, give PGE access to other's transmission facilities. PGE is in the
process of preparing an open access transmission tariff for its transmission
facilities.

Since the passage of the Energy Act, various state utility commissions are
considering proposals which would gradually allow customers direct access to
generation suppliers, marketers, brokers and other service providers in a
competitive marketplace for energy services.

Although presently operating in a cost-based regulated environment, PGE
expects increasing competition from other forms of energy and other suppliers
of electricity. While the Company is unable to determine
precisely the future impact of increased competition, it believes that
ultimately it will result in reduced wholesale and retail prices in the
industry.

POWER COST RECOVERY AND COYOTE SPRINGS FILING

PGE operates without a power cost adjustment tariff, therefore adjustments for
power costs above or below those set in existing general tariffs are not
automatically reflected in customers' rates. As a result, PGE obtained PUC
approval to defer incremental replacement power costs related to the closure
of Trojan. The following table sets out the amounts deferred and the
collection status of the various deferrals. In accordance with Oregon law,
collection of the deferrals is subject to PUC review of PGE's reported
earnings, adjusted for the regulatory treatment of unusual and/or non-
recurring items, as well as the determination of an appropriate rate of return
on equity for a given review period.

The table below indicates the balance of outstanding power cost deferrals as
of September 30, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


On October 17, 1995 PGE 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 which
supports increasing Company annual revenues by $20 million or
approximately 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 the current collection
of deferred power costs. See Portland General's and PGE's
reports on form 10-Q dated June 30, 1995 and form 8-K dated
October 5, 1995 for further information on PGE's consolidated
filing.

While the agreement supports full recovery of the $11 million
of power costs deferred from January through March 1995, it
supports recovery of only $9 million of the $50 million of
power costs deferred from July 1993 through March 1994. The
agreement also includes a provision for immediate recovery of
approximately $27 million in incentive revenues associated with
prior years' achievements of the Company's energy efficiency
programs.

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 during the fourth quarter 1995.

TROJAN DECOMMISSIONING UPDATE

As of October 31, 1995 PGE has substantially completed the
early removal of some of Trojan's large components. The large
component removal project (LCRP) commenced in November 1994
following public hearings in a lengthy state approval process.
On two separate occasions LCRP work was interrupted
pending review of legal challenges in both state
and federal courts. Despite the work stoppages the LCRP was
completed in time to take advantage of lower near-
term burial costs and provide cost savings.

The LCRP was the subject of an NRC
review initiated in early September 1995. The NRC solicited
comments from interested parties on whether to halt the LCRP
and any further decommissioning activities at Trojan until
public hearings could be held regarding the Trojan
Decommissioning Plan. For further information see Portland
General's and PGE's reports on form 8-K dated August 30, 1995.
The NRC completed its review on October 12, 1995 with an order
that allowed the completion of the LCRP. However, the NRC
Order stated that no further major dismantling
at Trojan would be allowed until final NRC approval of the
Trojan Decommissioning Plan is obtained. This does not preclude
further planning or minor dismantling activities.
The Trojan Decommissioning Plan is presently under review by the NRC. The
order notes that the NRC intends to give notice of an
opportunity for a public hearing on the plan. A hearing may
require additional time beyond that originally anticipated by
the Company in obtaining final approval of the Trojan
Decommissioning Plan.

NONUTILITY

In April 1992 legal action was filed by Bonneville Pacific against Portland
General, Holdings, and certain individuals affiliated with
Portland General and Holdings alleging breach of fiduciary
duty, tortious interference, breach of contract, and other
actionable wrongs related to Holdings' investment in Bonneville
Pacific. Following his appointment, the Bonneville Pacific
bankruptcy trustee, on behalf of Bonneville Pacific, filed
numerous amendments to the complaint. The complaint now
includes allegations of RICO violations and RICO conspiracy,
collusive tort, civil conspiracy, common law fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, liability as a
partner for the debts of a partnership, and other actionable
wrongs. Although the amount of damages sought is not specified
in the Complaint, the Trustee has filed a damage disclosure
calculation which purports to compute damages in amounts
ranging from $340 million to $1 billion - subject to possible
increase based on various factors.

Holdings has filed a complaint seeking approximately $228
million in damages against Deloitte & Touche and certain
parties associated with Bonneville Pacific alleging that it
relied on fraudulent and negligent statements and omissions
when it acquired an interest in and made loans to Bonneville
Pacific.

A detailed report released in June 1992, by a U.S. Bankruptcy
examiner outlined a number of questionable transactions that
resulted in gross exaggeration of Bonneville Pacific's assets
prior to Holdings' investment. This report includes the
examiner's opinion that there was significant mismanagement and
very likely fraud at Bonneville Pacific.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1

PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

The interim financial statements have been prepared by Portland General and,
in the opinion of management, reflect all material adjustments which are
necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures made in the last annual report
on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for the interim statements.
Certain costs are estimated for the full year and allocated to interim
periods based on the estimates of operating time expired, benefit received or
activity associated with the interim period. Accordingly, such costs are
subject to year-end adjustment. It is Portland General's opinion that, when
the interim statements are read in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified for comparative
purposes.


NOTE 2

LEGAL MATTERS

BONNEVILLE PACIFIC CLASS ACTION AND LAWSUIT
In April 1992 legal action was filed by Bonneville Pacific against Portland
General,
Holdings, and certain individuals affiliated with Portland General and
Holdings alleging breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, breach of
contract, and other actionable wrongs related to Holdings' investment in
Bonneville Pacific. Following his appointment, the Bonneville Pacific
bankruptcy trustee, on behalf of Bonneville Pacific, filed numerous amendments
to the complaint. The complaint now includes allegations of RICO violations
and RICO conspiracy, collusive tort, civil conspiracy, common law fraud,
negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, liability as a partner
for the debts of a partnership, and other actionable wrongs. Although the
amount of damages sought is not specified in the Complaint, the Trustee has
filed a damage disclosure calculation which purports to compute damages in
amounts ranging from $340 million to $1 billion - subject to possible increase
based on various factors.

OTHER LEGAL MATTERS
Portland General and certain of its subsidiaries are party to various other
claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of
business. These claims are not considered material.

SUMMARY
While the ultimate disposition of these matters may have an impact on the
results of operations for a future reporting period, management believes,
based on discussion of the underlying facts and circumstances with legal
counsel, that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition of Portland General.

OTHER BONNEVILLE PACIFIC RELATED LITIGATION
Holdings has filed complaints seeking approximately $228 million in damages
against Deloitte & Touche and certain other parties associated with Bonneville
Pacific alleging that it relied on fraudulent and negligent statements and
omissions by Deloitte & Touche and the other defendants when it acquired an
interest in and made loans to Bonneville Pacific.


NOTE 3

INCOME TAXES

As a result of its examination of PGE's 1985 tax return the IRS proposed to
disallow PGE's 1985 WNP-3 abandonment loss deduction on the premise that it is
a taxable exchange. Portland General and the IRS have reached a tentative
settlement regarding this issue. Management has previously provided for
probable tax adjustments and is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition
of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the results of
operations or cash flows of Portland General.

NOTE 4

DEFERRED POWER COST RECOVERY

In accordance with Oregon law, collection of PGE's power costs deferrals is
subject to PUC review of PGE's reported earnings, adjusted for regulatory
treatment of unusual and/or non-recurring items, as well as the determination
of an appropriate rate of return on equity for a given review period. On
August 8, 1995 as part of a consolidated request to recover deferred power
costs and fixed costs associated with Coyote Springs, PGE filed earnings
reviews for both of its outstanding power cost deferrals. On October 17, 1995
PGE and the PUC Staff reached an agreement on the Company's August 1995
filing that, if approved, would allow full recovery of the power costs
deferred from January to March 1995 and partial recovery of the power costs
deferred from July 1993 to March 1994.
As a result of the agreement management believes that it is unlikely that the
PUC will authorize collection of all of the deferred power costs and has
recorded a third quarter $13 million, after tax, loss provision. A PUC
order on the regulatory proceeding is expected during the fourth quarter
1995.
