Analysts' visit to PacifiCorp
On 3 and 4 October 2002 ScottishPower is holding a series of presentations for
analysts and investors at its US operation PacifiCorp. The presentations will
cover both ScottishPower's regulated and unregulated US businesses and will be
given by the company's US based management team.
Judi Johansen, President and CEO, PacifiCorp, will host the visit and will
confirm that PacifiCorp remains on target to achieve its authorised return on
equity in its regulated businesses, consistent with its goal of increasing
operating profit over the next three years to approximately $1 billion.
PacifiCorp's Transition Plan remains on track and both the cost recovery
programme and the excess power cost recovery process are progressing. PacifiCorp
will continue to focus on delivering shareholder value through focusing on
operational efficiencies, risk management, delivering excellent customer service
and pursuing strategic and regulatory initiatives.
Presentations will also be given on PacifiCorp's regulatory strategy, its
commercial and trading strategy and the western US power market. The development
of PacifiCorp's competitive business (PacifiCorp Power Marketing) will also be
covered.
A web cast of the presentations will be available at www.scottishpower.com from
Monday 7 October. Copies of the presentation slides will also be available from
ScottishPower's investor relations department.
