		ORDER GRANTING LESS THAN STATUTORY NOTICE


BACKGROUND

1 On April 17, 2001, PacifiCorp d/b/a Pacific Power & Light (PacifiCorp) filed 
with the Commission  revisions to its currently effective Tariff WN U-74, 
designated as Original Sheet No. 2020.  The  purpose of the filing is to 
implement an energy buy-back program entitled by PacificCorp as “20/20  
Customer Challenge Program.”

2 WAC 480-80-070 requires thirty days’ notice prior to the effective date of 
the tariff.  The tariff sheet  bears an inserted effective date of June 1, 
2001.  This date recognizes statutory notice as required.   The Company 
requests, however, that statutory notice be waived as authorized in WAC   
480-80-240, and that the revisions become effective May 1, 2001.  The Company 
requests approval  with less than statutory notice to assure adequate time for 
customer communication and system   implementation.

3 Since the proposed tariff revisions appear to be fair, just, and reasonable, 
and waiver of statutory  notice is not inconsistent with the public interest, 
it is appropriate that the Commission grant the waiver  PacifiCorp requests 
with an effective date of May 1, 2001.

4 Give the proposed program is a pilot in nature, the Company should provide a 
report on the results of  the program not later than 60 days after the 
completion date of the program.

FINDINGS

5 (1)  After careful examination of the proposed tariff revisions filed by 
PacifiCorp on April 17,   2001, and giving consideration to all relevant 
matters and for good cause shown, the    Commission finds that the proposed 
tariff revisions should become effective May 1, 2001.  

6 (2)  This matter was brought before the Commission at its regularly scheduled 
open meeting on   April 25, 2001.  The Commissioners, having been fully advised 
in the matter, and having   determined this order to be consistent with the 
public interest, enter this order.

O R D E R

7 THE COMMISSION GRANTS the requested waiver of statutory notice in connection 
with the tariff  revisions filed by PacificCorp. on April 17, 2001, and the 
tariff revisions shall become effective on  May 1, 2001.

8 The Company must provide a report on the results of the program not later 
than 60 days after the  completion date of the program providing at a minimum 
the following items:
 1. Number of customers achieving the threshold by month.
  2. Percentage of total customers achieving the threshold.
  3. Total volumes and dollars credited to customers by month.
  4. Total volumes saved from previous years by month.
  5. Calculation of the monetary benefits derived for customers and the Company.

DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 25th day of April, 2001.
