Schedule of Long-term Contracts for Purchase of Electric Power [Table Text Block]

PGE has long-term power purchase agreements with certain public utility districts (PUDs) in the state of Washington:

•Grant County PUD for the Priest Rapids and Wanapum Hydroelectric Projects, and

•Douglas County PUD for the Wells Hydroelectric Project.

Under one of the Grant County agreements, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of the operating and debt service costs of the hydroelectric projects whether they are operable or not. Under one of the Douglas County agreement, the Company is required to make monthly payments for capacity that will not vary with annual project generation provided to PGE. The Company has estimated the capacity payments, which are subject to annual adjustments based on Douglas County’s loads, and included the estimated amounts in the table above. The future minimum payments for the PUDs in the preceding table reflect the principal and capacity payments only and do not include interest, operation, or maintenance expenses.

Selected information regarding these projects is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):
