Proposed sale of PacifiCorp (“Sale”)

Posting of shareholder circular and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Following the announcement by the Company on 24 May 2005 that it had agreed to sell PacifiCorp to MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, ScottishPower has today published and commenced posting a circular to shareholders (the “Circular”) containing information regarding the Sale and convening an Extraordinary General Meeting to seek shareholder approval of the Sale.

The expected timetable in relation to the Extraordinary General Meeting, is summarised below:

12 noon on 20 July 2005	Latest time and date for receipt of forms of proxy for Ordinary Shareholders
11.00 am on 22 July 2005	Annual General Meeting
12 noon on 22 July 2005 (or as soon thereafter as the Annual General Meeting concludes or is adjourned)	Extraordinary General Meeting

References to time in the above timetable are to British Summer time and if any of the above times and/or dates change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to shareholders by announcement on a Regulatory Information Service. American Depositary Share Holders will be advised separately by the Depositary of the deadline for receipt of forms of proxy.

Based upon the Company’s experience of obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals in the past, and the process and timetable for doing so, the Sale is expected to complete between May 2006 and November 2006.
