Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
          _______________________________________

        The following documents filed by PacifiCorp (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

        (a)   The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
  13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest
  prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933
  that contains audited financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal
  year for which such statements have been filed.

        (b)   All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year
  covered by the annual report or prospectus referred to in (a) above.

        (c)   The description of the common stock of the Company contained in
  the Company's registration under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
  of 1934, including any amendment or report updating such description.

        All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the
filing of such reports and documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          _________________________

        Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          ______________________________________

        Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          _________________________________________

        The Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended
("Restated Articles"), and Bylaws, as amended ("Bylaws"), require the Company
to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by
law.  The right to and amount of indemnification will be ultimately subject to
determination by a court that indemnification in the circumstances presented
is consistent with public policy considerations and other provisions of law. 
It is likely, however, that the Restated Articles would require
indemnification at least to the extent that indemnification is authorized by
the Oregon Business Corporation Act ("OBCA").  The effect of the OBCA is
summarized as follows: 

        (a)   The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any pending, threatened or completed action,
suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the Company,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, provided the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct was unlawful.  Indemnification is not permitted in
connection with a 

                                     II-1
<PAGE>
proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received unless indemnification is permitted by a court
upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances.  The termination
of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person
did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.  

        (b)   The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any proceeding by or in the right of the Company
against the reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred, if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no indemnification may be granted if such person is adjudged to be liable
to the Company unless permitted by a court.  

        (c)   Under the OBCA, the Company may not indemnify a person in
respect of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above unless it is determined
that indemnification is permissible because the person has met the prescribed
standard of conduct by any one of the following: (i) the Board of Directors,
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties
to the proceeding, (ii) if a quorum of directors not parties to the proceeding
cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more directors
not at the time parties to the proceeding, (iii) by special legal counsel
selected by the Board of Directors or the committee thereof, as described in
(i) and (ii) above, or (iv) by the shareholders.  Authorization of the
indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses are to be
determined as specified in any one of (i) through (iv) above, except that if
the determination of such indemnification's permissibility is made by special
counsel then the determination of the reasonableness of such expenses is to be
made by those entitled to select special counsel. Indemnification can also be
ordered by a court if the court determines that indemnification is fair in
view of all of the relevant circumstances.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defense of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to be
indemnified as a matter of right against reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the proceeding.  

        (d)   Under the OBCA, the Company may pay for or reimburse the
reasonable expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition thereof if the director or officer receiving the advance furnishes
(i) a written affirmation of the director's or officer's good faith belief
that he or she has met the prescribed standard of conduct, and (ii) a written
undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such
person did not meet the standard of conduct. 

        The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of
any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may be
entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders, action of
directors, or otherwise.  Indemnity agreements entered into by the Company
require the Company to indemnify the directors that are parties thereto to the
fullest extent permitted by law and are intended to create an obligation to
indemnify to the fullest extent a court may find to be consistent with public
policy considerations.  Resolutions adopted by the Company's board of
directors are intended to have a similar result with respect to officers of
the Company.  

        The Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage
which insures officers and directors of the Company against certain
liabilities.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ____________

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
        being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
        statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by section
              10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
              arising after the effective date of the registration statement
              (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
              individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
              change in the information set forth in the registration
              statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
              the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
              registration statement or any material change to such
              information in the registration statement;

        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
        apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
        amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
        by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
        the registration statement.

              (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
        the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
        deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
        offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
        shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

              (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
        amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
        at the termination of the offering.

        (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

        (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act 

                                     II-3
<PAGE>
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     II-4

                                  SIGNATURES

  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Portland, State of Oregon, on November 28, 1994.

Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
          _______________________________________

        The following documents filed by PacifiCorp (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

        (a)   The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
  13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest
  prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933
  that contains audited financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal
  year for which such statements have been filed.

        (b)   All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year
  covered by the annual report or prospectus referred to in (a) above.

        (c)   The description of the common stock of the Company contained in

  of 1934, including any amendment or report updating such description.

        All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the
filing of such reports and documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          _________________________

        Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          ______________________________________

        Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          _________________________________________

        The Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended
("Restated Articles"), and Bylaws, as amended ("Bylaws"), require the Company
to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by
law.  The right to and amount of indemnification will be ultimately subject to
determination by a court that indemnification in the circumstances presented
is consistent with public policy considerations and other provisions of law. 
It is likely, however, that the Restated Articles would require
indemnification at least to the extent that indemnification is authorized by
the Oregon Business Corporation Act ("OBCA").  The effect of the OBCA is
summarized as follows: 

        (a)   The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any pending, threatened or completed action,
suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the Company,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, provided the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct was unlawful.  Indemnification is not permitted in
connection with a 

                                     II-1
proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received unless indemnification is permitted by a court
upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances.  The termination
of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person
did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.  

        (b)   The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any proceeding by or in the right of the Company
against the reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred, if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no indemnification may be granted if such person is adjudged to be liable
to the Company unless permitted by a court.  

        (c)   Under the OBCA, the Company may not indemnify a person in
respect of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above unless it is determined
that indemnification is permissible because the person has met the prescribed
standard of conduct by any one of the following: (i) the Board of Directors,
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties
to the proceeding, (ii) if a quorum of directors not parties to the proceeding
cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of two or more directors
not at the time parties to the proceeding, (iii) by special legal counsel
selected by the Board of Directors or the committee thereof, as described in
(i) and (ii) above, or (iv) by the shareholders.  Authorization of the
indemnification and evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses are to be
determined as specified in any one of (i) through (iv) above, except that if
the determination of such indemnification's permissibility is made by special
counsel then the determination of the reasonableness of such expenses is to be
made by those entitled to select special counsel. Indemnification can also be
ordered by a court if the court determines that indemnification is fair in
view of all of the relevant circumstances.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defense of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to be
indemnified as a matter of right against reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the proceeding.  

        (d)   Under the OBCA, the Company may pay for or reimburse the
reasonable expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition thereof if the director or officer receiving the advance furnishes
(i) a written affirmation of the director's or officer's good faith belief
that he or she has met the prescribed standard of conduct, and (ii) a written
undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that such
person did not meet the standard of conduct. 

        The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of
any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may be
entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders, action of
directors, or otherwise.  Indemnity agreements entered into by the Company
require the Company to indemnify the directors that are parties thereto to the
fullest extent permitted by law and are intended to create an obligation to
indemnify to the fullest extent a court may find to be consistent with public
policy considerations.  Resolutions adopted by the Company's board of
directors are intended to have a similar result with respect to officers of
the Company.  

        The Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage
which insures officers and directors of the Company against certain
liabilities.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ____________

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
        being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
        statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by section
              10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
              arising after the effective date of the registration statement
              (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
              individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
              change in the information set forth in the registration
              statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
              the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
              registration statement or any material change to such
              information in the registration statement;

        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
        apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
        amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
        by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
        the registration statement.

              (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
        the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
        deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
        offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
        shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

              (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
        amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
        at the termination of the offering.

        (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

        (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act 

                                     II-3
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     II-4
SIGNATURES

  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Portland, State of Oregon, on November 28, 1994.
