                  CHAPTER 11 TRUSTEE FOR BONNEVILLE PACIFIC 
               CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FILING OF PROPOSED PLAN OF 
                                REORGANIZATION

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, APRIL 22, 1998:

     Roger G. Segal, as the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Trustee for Bonneville 
Pacific Corporation (BPCO), announced today that he has filed a proposed 
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for BPCO along with a proposed disclosure
statement.  The Trustee's proposed plan, disclosure statement and related 
documents (including exhibits) total almost six hundred (600) pages in length
and therefore such pleadings must be read in their entirety for all the 
details of the Trustee's proposed Chapter 11 plan for BPCO.

     Generally, the terms of the Trustee's proposed plan are consistent with 
the terms of a conditional settlement (as set forth in the "Conditional 
Letter Agreement") between the Trustee and certain creditors of BPCO which 
Conditional Letter Agreement was executed on December 31, 1997 and was the 
subject of a press release by the Trustee on that date.  The Trustee's 
proposed disclosure statement includes, among other things, a lengthy 
discussion concerning BPCO's liabilities and the estimated value of BPCO's 
assets.

     The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah has NOT 
approved the adequacy of the Trustee's proposed disclosure statement; a 
hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on the adequacy of the proposed 
disclosure statement is scheduled for June 3, 1998.  Unless the Bankruptcy 
Court approves the adequacy of the proposed disclosure statement, no party-in-
interest may solicit the acceptance or rejection of the Trustee's plan of 
reorganization.  If the Bankruptcy Court approves the adequacy of the 
disclosure statement, then impaired creditors will have the opportunity to 
vote to accept or reject the Trustee's proposed plan and all parties-in-
interest will have the opportunity to object to the confirmation of the 
Trustee's proposed plan.  Thereafter, the Bankruptcy Court will consider 
whether to confirm the plan.  No plan can become effective unless it is 
confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
