               Wyoming Consumer Advocate Staff Recommends Approval
               ---------------------------------------------------
                       of ScottishPower-PacifiCorp Merger
                       ----------------------------------

     PORTLAND, Oregon - The Consumer Advocate Staff (CAS) of the Wyoming Public
Service Commission recommends that the Commission approve ScottishPower and
PacifiCorp's proposed merger. Following extensive discussion and collaboration
with the CAS, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp have agreed terms and conditions in
addition to the companies' submitted testimony.

     In their testimony, CAS commented, "We are pleased that PacifiCorp,
ScottishPower and CAS were able to reach an agreement on these conditions, thus
avoiding the need for the Commission to impose on the companies conditions to
which they object."

     Additionally, CAS noted that they consider ScottishPower's industry
experience and track record in improving efficiencies in their own business and
in the businesses that they have acquired to be a distinct asset and benefit for
the proposed merger.

     The conditions as agreed to by ScottishPower, PacifiCorp and the CAS range
from reporting requirements to working with the staff and Commission relative to
ongoing activities.

     Alan Richardson, CEO designate of PacifiCorp, said, "Gaining staff approval
in Wyoming is very gratifying to us as we worked hard with them to resolve their
outstanding issues. This is a significant step forward for us as it sets the
tone for equally productive collaboration with staff in other states."
